§ 22-114. Method of revocation.

(a)

The finance director may revoke a general business license by issuing a written notice of revocation, stating the reasons therefor, and serving the notice, together with a copy of this division, upon the holder of the license.

(b)

The revocation shall become effective 15 days following the date of service upon the applicant of the notice of revocation. If the holder of the license files an appeal within the time and manner prescribed, the license shall remain in effect until the appeal is finally determined.

(c)

A general business license or employee permit may be temporarily suspended pending expiration for the time of appeal, if the finance director finds that such temporary suspension is necessary in order to protect against a serious and immediate threat to the health, safety or welfare of the public caused by exercise of the license or permit. If the finance director orders a temporary suspension, the notice of suspension shall be delivered to each place of business licensed or to which the permit relates, served upon the licensee or permittee, and shall contain the following:

(1)

The finding justifying the temporary suspension;

(2)

The time, date and place at which the licensee or permittee may appear in advance of the commencement of the temporary suspension for the purpose of showing cause to the hearing officer as to why the suspension is not necessary; and

(3)

The time and date on which the temporary suspension commences, which shall not be earlier than 24 hours following the time and date of delivery of the notice.
