§ 15-122. Same—Revocation.

(a)

The chief of police or his designee may revoke or suspend any permit issued pursuant to this article (i) for fraud, misrepresentation or any false statement contained in the application; (ii) upon conviction of the applicant for any felony or misdemeanor involving moral turpitude after the permit is issued; (iii) for failure to comply with the provisions of this article; or (iv) if the applicant's business fails to comply with applicable county or state laws or regulations.

If the chief of police or his designee revokes a permit, he shall notify the permittee in writing of such action, the reasons for the revocation, and the permittee's right to request a hearing. To receive a hearing, the permittee must make a written hearing request which must be received by the chief of police, or his designee, within ten days of the date of the revocation notice. If a timely hearing request is not received by the chief of police, or his designee, the decision shall be final. If a hearing is properly requested, it shall be held within ten days from receipt of the hearing request. The hearing shall be presided over by the chief of police or his designee. The permittee shall have the right to present evidence and argument or to have counsel do so. Within a reasonable time after the hearing, the chief of police, or his designee, shall render his decision which shall be final. The permittee must discontinue operation of its business when the decision to revoke the permit becomes final.

(c)

When protection of public health, safety or welfare requires such action, the chief of police, or his designee, may immediately revoke a permit issued under this article by so stating in a written notice to the permittee. When action is taken pursuant to this subparagraph, the permittee shall immediately discontinue operation of its business, but shall have the right to a hearing as stated in subparagraph (b).
