(m) Excessive calls for service as determined by the Chief of Police based on the number and nature of <br />the calls compared to the number of dwelling units on the property when the Licensee has been <br />notified of the calls by the Chief of Police and the licensee has failed to supply an appropriate <br />written action plan for reducing the calls for service, or when the calls for service exceed an <br />established threshold a second time within 12 months of completing an action plan for previously <br />exceeding the threshold. <br />(n) Failure to actively pursue the eviction of tenants who have violated the provisions of the crime free <br />lease addendum or who have otherwise created a nuisance in violation of the provisions of the <br />written lease; and <br />(o) Other good cause as determined by the City Council after conducting a public hearing. <br />The City Council may revoke a license or suspend a license for a set period of time or until violations of City <br />Code, or State or Federal law are corrected and, in addition, impose a civil penalty for each violation or impose a <br />combination of these sanctions. <br />(2) Temporary Suspension. The City Administrator may temporarily suspend a license pending a hearing on <br />the suspension or revocation when, in its judgment, the public health, safety, and welfare is endangered <br />by the continuance of the licensed activity. <br />(3) Notice. Before the suspension or revocation of the rental license, the City must provide written notice <br />informing the licensee of the right to a hearing. The notice must provide at least (30) thirty calendar days' <br />notice of the time and place of the hearing and must state the grounds for the proposed suspension or <br />revocation of the license. The notice may be served upon the licensee personally, by leaving the notice at <br />the licensed premises with the designated manager, or by certified mail to the address listed on the <br />license application. <br />(4) Hearing. A hearing will be conducted before the City Council at a public meeting. The licensee shall have <br />the right to be represented by counsel, the right to respond to the charged violations, and the right to <br />present evidence through witnesses. The rules of evidence do not apply to the hearing and the City <br />Council may rely on all evidence it determines to be reasonably credible. The determination to suspend or <br />revoke the license shall be made upon a preponderance of the evidence. It is not necessary that criminal <br />charges be brought in order to support a suspension or revocation of a license violation nor does the <br />dismissal or acquittal of such a criminal charge operate as a bar to suspension or revocation. <br />(5) Final Decision. Following the hearing, the City Council may revoke or suspend the license for all or any <br />part of the licensed premises, may stay the revocation or suspension upon such terms and conditions as it <br />deems reasonable and necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Chapter, or grant or continue the <br />license. The decision by the City Council following a hearing is final. Upon a decision to suspend a license, <br />no new application from the current licensee for the same rental dwelling will be accepted for a period of <br />time specified in the Council's decision, not exceeding one year. A decision to revoke a license will result <br />in no new application being accepted from the same licensee for a minimum of one year. <br />(6) Appeal of Decision to Deny or not Renew License. If the City Administrator denies or does not renew a <br />license, the licensee shall be notified in writing, specifying the reasons for denying or not renewing the <br />license. If the licensee corrects the conditions leading to the denial or non -renewal within (14) fourteen <br />days, the City Administrator shall issue the license. A licensee whose license has been denied or not <br />renewed by the City may appeal the decision by filing with the City Administrator a written notice of <br />appeal within (10) ten days of receiving notice of the City's decision. The hearing will be conducted <br />pursuant to City Code. <br />(7) Notification to Tenants. Upon denial, suspension, revocation or other enforcement action of a license, the <br />City will notify all affected tenants of the action against the license. If the license is revoked or suspended <br />(Supp. No. 11, Update 1) <br />Created: 2023-02-14 09:41:34 [EST] <br />Page 9 of 11 <br />
