§ 5.68.180. Driver permit—Revocation.  


Latest version.
  • A.

    The City Manager shall summarily revoke any driver's permit or temporary driver's permit issued under the provisions of this Chapter, when he has knowledge that the holder thereof has violated any provisions of this Chapter, or for any of the reasons set forth in Subsection 5.68.170.D of this Code. Notice of the suspension or revocation shall be given by the City Manager to the person involved.

    B.

    Any driver who may be aggrieved by the action of the City Manager in suspending or revoking his driver's permit, or any applicant who may be aggrieved by the denial by the City Manager of his application, within ten (10) days from the giving of notice by the City Manager of such denial, suspension or revocation, may apply to the City Council for a hearing as to the matters in question, whereupon a time for the hearing shall be set, which shall be not later than thirty (30) days thereafter, at which time a full and complete hearing shall be held before the City Council. At the conclusion of the hearing the City Council may affirm, modify or overrule the action of the City Manager, in which latter event the driver's permit shall be granted or reinstated, as the case may be, and the decision of the City Council shall be final. Such hearing or application therefor shall not affect the order of suspension or revocation of the City Manager, unless and until acted upon and reversed or modified by the City Council.

    C.

    The City Council shall suspend or revoke a driver's permit or temporary driver's permit either for any of the foregoing reasons or others from which the City Council shall conclude that a continuation of a driver's activities as such driver is, or may be, detrimental to the public health, peace, safety or welfare; provided, however, the City Council may take such action only after a hearing for such purpose, which shall be held after five (5) days' notice, and an opportunity to be heard, have been given to the driver.

    D.

    Any driver whose driver's permit or temporary driver's permit is revoked pursuant to the provisions of this Chapter shall not be entitled to apply for reinstatement or a new permit before the expiration of one (1) year from the date of any such revocation.
