§ 6-88. Orders; suspension or revocation.

(a)

The board of city commissioners may include provisions in any order of suspension that requires additional actions by the licensee to ensure future compliance with the provisions of this chapter.

(b)

Any order requiring the suspension of an alcoholic liquor or cereal malt beverage license shall not take effect until five days after the licensee is personally served or mailed a copy of the order. No person who has a proprietary interest in a license that has been suspended, or any person acting for or on his behalf, shall be granted a license for the sale of alcoholic liquor or cereal malt beverage within the city during the term of the suspension. No person who has a proprietary interest in such license shall be employed in a place of business which sells or distributes alcoholic liquor or cereal malt beverage for consumption on the premises during such period.

(c)

Any order requiring the revocation of an alcoholic liquor or cereal malt beverage license shall not go into effect until five days after the licensee is personally served or mailed a copy of the order. No person who has a proprietary interest in a license that has been revoked, or any person acting for or on his behalf, shall be granted a license for sale of alcoholic liquor or cereal malt beverages within the city for a period of six months following the date of revocation. No person who has a proprietary interest in such license shall be employed in a place of business which sells or distributes alcoholic liquor or cereal malt beverages for consumption on the premises for a period of six months following the date of revocation.

(d)

If any of the grounds for revocation are violated by an employee or a manager of the licensee, then in the absence of proof of knowledge by the licensee, there shall be no revocation. Instead, the board of city commissioners may suspend the license for no longer than 30 days. If, however, any licensee is subjected to more than two such suspensions in any 12-month period, the license may be revoked on the third such violation.
