§ 6-3.23. Revocation of commercial discards collection licenses.

Any commercial license issued pursuant to the provisions of this chapter, in addition to any other remedy available to the City, may be terminated or revoked as follows:

(a)

Notices. In the event of a failure of performance on the part of a collector pursuant to this chapter affecting the public health and welfare, in the event of a continued or willful violation of any of the terms and provisions of this chapter or the agreement authorized hereby, or in the event a collector fails to conduct a discard collection business in the City for one year as evidenced by the company's failure to obtain a business tax receipt, the Director shall provide a written notice of the failure of performance or other violation of this chapter to such collector or licensee.

The collector, within thirty (30) days, shall take action to cure the failure of performance or the continued or willful violation of the terms of this chapter. Upon the failure of performance or other violation of this chapter within such time, the Director may request that the Council hold a public hearing on whether the license and all rights and privileges of the collector thereunder should be revoked.

(b)

Public hearings. Such public hearing shall be after at least ten (10) days written notice to the collector setting forth the charges of the Director and setting forth the time and place of the hearing. If the Council, after hearing and receiving all evidence and testimony relevant and material to the charges offered at the hearing, finds that there has been failure of service affecting the public health and welfare or a continued or willful violation of this chapter or of any provision of the license issued pursuant to this chapter, the Council may revoke, suspend, amend, or condition the continuance of such license.
