The finance director shall enforce this chapter with the assistance of the chief of police. If the finance director finds that any licensee has violated or failed to comply with any provision of this chapter, the director shall make a written record of such finding, and shall specify therein the particulars and may revoke or suspend the license for a fixed period, in which event the license shall be surrendered to the finance department and canceled in case of revocation, or returned to the licensee on expiration of the period of suspension. Provided, however, such revocation for violation of any of the provisions of this chapter shall not relieve the licensee of the penalties provided in LMC 5.28.140. Any licensee whose license is revoked or suspended shall have the right to appeal to the city council from such revocation or suspension by filing with the finance department a written notice within five days after the entry of the order of revocation or suspension. The notice of appeal shall specify an address at which the licensee may be given notice of hearing on the appeal. The city council shall hear the appeal, or may refer the same to a committee for hearing. At the hearing the licensee shall be entitled to appear in person and offer evidence pertinent to the revocation or suspension; and the finance director shall likewise be entitled to be heard at the hearing and offer evidence in support of the order of revocation or suspension. The city council shall determine by resolution whether the revocation or suspension shall be sustained, and its action in that respect shall be final and conclusive. From the time of filing the written notice of appeal until the hearing and action by the city council, the order of the finance director of revocation or suspension shall be ineffective. (Ord. 1262 §24, 2006; Ord. 145 §10, 1970).
