(a)
If the director finds that the premises and vehicles, for which the permit was issued,
do not conform to the provisions of this article, that a permittee has refused the
director the right to enter and inspect such premises, except the interior of any
residence, or vehicles pursuant to section 5-1-55 for the purpose of enforcing the provisions of this article, or that a permittee
or an employee of a permittee has failed or neglected to comply with any of the minimum
standards set forth in section 5-1-59, the director may enter an order for the suspension of the permit until such time
as he finds that the reason for the suspension no longer exists. A copy of the order
shall be sent to the permittee at his place of business by certified mail, which order
shall set forth the reasons for the suspension. The suspension shall be effective
10 days after the date it is executed by the director, and the order shall state this
effective date; provided, however, that if the director finds that an immediate suspension
is necessary to protect the health or safety of city residents, the suspension shall
be effective immediately and the order shall so state. Except in cases of an immediate
suspension, the order shall inform the permittee that he may dispute the suspension
by submitting to the director, in writing or in person, reasons why the permit should
not be suspended. The order shall also inform the permittee of the date and time by
which such written submission must be submitted and of the date, time and place at
which the permittee may make a submission in person. If the permittee does not make
a timely written or personal submission to the director, the suspension shall become
effective and the order shall become final on the date set forth in the order. If
the permittee does make a submission, the suspension shall be stayed pending the director's
consideration of the submission and the issuance of a final order affirming, amending
or rescinding the earlier order. This final order shall be effective on the date it
is executed by the director and shall be sent to the permittee at his place of business
by certified mail. The failure of a permittee to make a written or personal submission
to the director shall not affect the director's authority to reinstate a suspended
permit, pursuant to section 5-1-57, or the permittee's right to appeal a final order of suspension, pursuant to section 5-1-59.
(b)
It shall be unlawful for any person to collect, transport or dispose of solid waste,
ashes, yard debris or recyclable material in the city when subject to a final order
of suspension. (Code 1963, Sec. 32A-20; Ord. No. 3242, 10/19/87, Sec. 1)
