§ 4.04.310. Revocation of license

Any license issued under any chapter of the city may be cancelled by the city council after five days' notice to the holder of said license for a hearing had pursuant to said notice, at which the holder shall have the right to offer evidence and have the services of counsel, when it satisfactorily appears to the council that said holder has violated any of the conditions of said license or has violated or permitted to be violated any law of the United States, or the state, or of any ordinance of the city, on the premises where the business covered by said license is being conducted, or in connection with said business.

Any said license may be so cancelled when it satisfactorily appears to the council that disorderly or immoral conduct or gambling is or has been permitted on the said premises, or whenever the preservation of public morality, health, peace, or good order shall, in its judgment, render such cancellation necessary.

Thereafter, the person whose license has been so cancelled shall not be entitled to receive any business license of any character from the city except on a permit from the city council, and such person shall present to the city council a statement in writing, verified by the oath of said person, which statement shall set forth the following:

A.

The full, true name, age and place of nativity of the applicant, or applicants if there be more than one, interested in said business.

B.

The location of the premises by street and number, and where there is no street and number by such other description as will enable the same to be easily located.

C.

That the applicant is of good moral character.

D.

That if granted a license the applicant will conduct said business in a lawful manner, will not permit any offensive, immoral or indecent practices to be committed upon the premises, will not commit or suffer to be committed any violation of the laws of the United States or of the state or the ordinance of the city in the conduct of or in connection with said business.

E.

Whether or not the applicant has had a license revoked, and if so, the circumstances attending the revocation, with location of premises, date and cause of revocation. The permit for said license may be granted or refused at the discretion of the city council and any license issued as herein provided may be revoked by the city council as provided in this section.

The notice here provided for shall contain in substance the nature of the charge against the holder of the license and a statement of the place and the date of the hearing, and may be served personally or left at the place of business of said holder.
