§ 10-4. Revocation of privilege to operate.

(a)

If, at any time, the city clerk, mayor, or city councilmember determines that any person, vendor or distributor in any place of business is operating in a manner harmful to the public health, safety, or welfare, based upon the criteria specified in section 10-6(b), he may place on the city council agenda the matter of revoking such operating privilege. This agenda item shall be publicly advertised in a newspaper of local circulation, and written notice of the charges against the person, vendor, distributor, or place of business shall be sent to him at least 14 days in advance. This notice shall also contain the date, time, and place of the agenda item.

(b)

After consideration of the matter, and allowing the person to be heard, the city council may revoke or condition the privilege to operate a place of business under this chapter. The criteria to be used by the city clerk and the city council shall be the criteria specified in section 10-6(b). Should the privilege be revoked or conditioned, the person, vendor or distributor in such place of business may seek review of this action, after three months, before the city council. The council may then modify or refuse to modify its action. Only one such review shall be given within a 12-month period.
