§ 8-262. Revocation of permits; hearing; decision.

(a)

Revocation. Whenever it shall be known, or whenever the council has knowledge, that any person to whom a permit has been issued under this article has violated any of the provisions of this article or that any promoter, agent or solicitor of a permit holder has misrepresented the purpose of the solicitation, the council shall immediately suspend the permit and give the permit holder written notice by registered mail of a hearing to be held within five days of said suspension to determine whether or not the permit should be revoked. This notice must contain a statement of facts upon which the council has acted in suspending the permit.

(b)

Hearing. At the hearing the permit holder, and any other interested person, shall have the right to present evidence as to the facts upon which the council bases suspension of the permit, and any other facts which may aid the director in determining whether this article has been violated, and whether the purpose of the solicitation has been misrepresented.

(c)

Decision. If, after such hearing the council finds this article has been violated or the purpose of the solicitation has been misrepresented, he shall within two days after the hearing to file for a public inspection and serve upon the permit holder, and all interested parties participating in the hearing, written statement of the facts upon which it based such finding and shall immediately revoke the permit. If, after such hearing, the council finds the permit has not been violated and the purpose of the solicitation has not been misrepresented, he shall within two days after the hearing give to the permit holder a written statement canceling the suspension of the permit and stating that no violation or misrepresentation was found to have been committed.
