§ 9-15-16. Suspension or revocation of food truck vendor permit.

A.

The city manager may, after providing the opportunity for a hearing as provided herein, suspend or revoke a food truck vendor permit issued under the provisions of this article if the city manager finds that such person has violated any provision of this article on three or more occasions within a 12-month period.

B.

Prior to ordering the suspension or revocation of a food truck vendor permit, the city manager shall notify, in writing, the applicant or the permit holder, stating the reasons for the suspension or revocation. This notice shall be mailed, postage prepaid, to the applicant or to the permit holder at the business address appearing on the permit application, or if there is none, to the residential address appearing thereon. The notice shall state that the permit will be suspended or revoked unless a written request for hearing is filed with the city manager, by the applicant or the permit holder within 10 business days of the date the notice is mailed. If no request for a hearing is filed within this 10 business day period, the application or the permit shall be suspended or revoked by order of the city manager, and the suspension or revocation shall be final.

C.

If the applicant or the permit holder files a request for a hearing in accordance with this provision, the city manager, shall give written notice of the hearing to the applicant or the permit holder at a time and place designated by the city manager. At the hearing the applicant or the permit holder may be represented by counsel, may cross-examine witnesses, and may present evidence in his or her favor.

D.

The city manager shall issue his determination in writing, to grant or deny the appeal within 10 business days of the conclusion of the hearing. (Ord. No. 4875, 5/17/14, Sec. 1)
