§ 4-146. Revocation.

(a)

Any license issued to a drinking establishment, private club or caterer under the provisions of this article may be revoked by the unified government board of commissioners. The procedure for revocation may be instituted by the filing of a complaint with the unified government clerk, by the police department or any of the citizenry of the city and the unified government clerk shall present the same within 30 days thereof at a regular meeting of the unified government board of commissioners. Whenever such complaint is made, the unified government clerk shall notify the holder of such license that a complaint has been made and shall notify the holder, in writing, of the time and place when the same will be considered by the unified government board of commissioners; such notice shall be given to the holder of the license at the address set out in the license at least five days prior to the time set for hearing of the complaint before the unified government board of commissioners.

(b)

Upon such hearing, the unified government board of commissioners shall have the power to permanently revoke or suspend up to one year any license issued under the provisions hereof if a majority of the council finds the licensee has become ineligible for the reasons listed in section 4-139. No formality shall be required in such hearing, and the same may be conducted in any manner that may be deemed appropriate by the unified government board of commissioners.
