a.Where any provision of Section 20-74 et seq., State law, or a condition of a vendor permit is violated, the Deputy City Manager, Plans and Public Works, or his/her designee has the authority to suspend or revoke the mobile food vendor permit. Notification of the suspension or revocation of the mobile food vendor permit must be made in writing, must state the reason(s) for the action, and must notify the vendor of the appeal process as set forth in subsection (b) of this section. The revocation or suspension shall become effective at the end of the appeal period and, if an appeal is requested, the action shall be stayed pending the decision of the Appeals Hearing Board.

b.Any person who has been denied a mobile food vendor permit or any person whose vendor permit has been suspended or revoked may request a hearing before the Appeals Hearing Board. The request for hearing must be made in writing and must be made within 10 calendar days from the date of the decision to deny, suspend, or revoke the permit. Upon receiving a written request for hearing, the Secretary for the Appeals Hearing Board shall set a hearing date, which shall occur no later than 45 days from the date of the request for hearing. The Secretary shall set forth in writing and send to the applicant or permittee, by means of registered mail, certified mail, or hand delivery, notice of the date, time, and place of the hearing at least five calendar days before the hearing. The Appeals Hearing Board shall consider any written or oral evidence presented to determine whether the suspension, revocation, or denial was in accordance with applicable laws. Formal rules of evidence shall not apply; any relevant evidence may be admitted if it is the sort of evidence upon which reasonable persons are accustomed to rely in the conduct of serious affairs. Within a reasonable time following the conclusion of the hearing, the Appeals Hearing Board will issue a written decision, which shall be mailed to the applicant or permittee. The decision of the Appeals Hearing Board shall be final. (Ord. 3540 § 3, 2016; Ord. 3531 § 3, 2015; Ord. 3513 § 2, 2015)
