§4-8.34 Revocation of Business Licenses. Notwith- <br /> standing any provisions contained in this Code to <br /> the contrary, violation of the provisions of this <br /> article constitutes grounds for revocation of any <br /> business license issued pursuant to Article 2 <br /> (Business License and Gross Receipts Tax) of <br /> Chapter 3, Title I of this Code to a business upon <br /> the premises of which the violation has occurred. <br /> The following provisions of this section consti- <br /> tute the procedures for the conduct of business <br /> license revocation proceedings instituted under <br /> this section. <br /> <br /> a. Revocation proceedings shall be commenced <br /> upon the filing with the City Clerk of a <br /> written statement by the Police Chief assert- <br /> ing that there are grounds for the revocation <br /> of a business license as a result of violation <br /> of the provision of this article. The state- <br /> ment shall state the circumstances of each <br /> violation alleged to have occurred. A copy <br /> of the written statement shall be sent to the <br /> holder of the business license no later than <br /> the date the statement is delivered to the <br /> City Clerk. <br /> <br /> b. The City Clerk shall schedule a hearing <br /> before the City Manager no sooner than one <br /> week nor later than four weeks from the date <br /> of receipt of the written statement and shall <br /> provide notice to the holder of the business <br /> license of the time and place of the hearing <br /> by such means as is reasonably calculated to <br /> afford actual notice to the holder of the <br /> business license of the time and place of the <br /> hearing. Notice shall apprise the holder of <br /> the business license of the nature of the <br /> proceeding and the opportunity to be heard. <br /> <br /> c. The hearing shall be conducted before the <br /> City Manager. Technical rules of evidence <br /> shall not be applicable so long as the <br /> requirements of procedural due process are <br /> met. <br /> <br /> d. Proof of actual violation by a preponderance <br /> of the evidence shall be required to support <br /> a revocation of a business license, but an <br /> actual conviction for violation of the <br /> provisions of this article shall not be <br /> required as a condition precedent to estab- <br /> lishing grounds for revocation. <br /> <br /> -2- <br /> <br /> <br />
