§ 5.48.180. Hearing—Procedure.

A.

The city manager shall fix the time and place of hearing to be held within 15 days following the filing of an appeal or the notice of suspension or revocation. The applicant shall be given notice of such hearing date at least 10 days prior to the hearing date. The notice may be by personal service or mail.

B.

At the time and place fixed in the notice or at any time to which the matter may be continued, the city manager or his delegate shall hear the applicant and his witnesses together with any rebuttal evidence which may be offered on behalf of the city, and shall receive any proper documentary evidence offered in support of or against the granting or continuation of the permit.

C.

If, from the evidence introduced at the hearing, the city manager finds grounds exist for denial, suspension or revocation of the permit as set forth in Section 5.48.190, he shall deny the permit application or order the suspension or revocation thereof. If, following the hearing, the city manager determines that no proper grounds exist for denial of the permit, then the city manager shall grant the appeal and cause a license to be issued or terminate any prior suspension or revocation. The city manager shall notify the applicant or permit holder of his decision within 10 days following the close of the hearing.
