immediate discontinuation of operations, pending an appeal hearing, by designated officers of the City, based on sufficient information to provide reasonable cause, from complaints, investigations, or evidence presented to the City concerning violations of this Code or State law. The City Manager (or designated hearing officer) may initiate such revocation proceedings and shall cause a notice of such hearing to be given to the holder of such license at the address set forth in the license application of the time and date of the joint permit and license revocation hearing. Notice of the hearing date will be served on the license holder within 10 business days of the temporary suspension, and at least five business days before the hearing. At the time set for the hearing or at the date to which the hearing may be continued by the City Manager (or designee), the holder of the license may be heard and may present any facts to show why such license should or should not be revoked. The City Manager (or designee) may, if he or she so desires, question any person appearing before him or her. At the close of the hearing, or at any time within 30 days thereafter, the City Manager shall determine from the facts produced at the hearing, and from any other facts in its possession whether or not the license should be revoked. The City Manager (or designee), shall make its order accordingly and may make such order conditional upon the doing or not doing of any act by the holder of the license or his or her agents or servants, which the City Manager (or designee) deems for the public good.
