Sec. B22-13. Immediate suspension of permit.

(a) The Sheriff may immediately suspend an establishment permit or a therapist permit or a trainee permit if there is reasonable cause to believe that:

(1) The permit holder is operating or managing the establishment, or providing services in a manner which poses an immediate danger to the health or safety of employees, clients, or the public;

(2) The permit holder has been convicted of any offense involving lewdness, indecent exposure, prostitution, sexual battery or any sex-related crime. The only permit which shall be immediately suspended under this subsection shall be that permit belonging to the person convicted.

(b) If the Sheriff immediately suspends a permit, the Sheriff shall provide notice be given to the permittee by personal delivery or by certified mail. The notice shall contain a statement that the permit is immediately suspended and such suspension shall remain in effect during the pendency of the suspension and appeal process. The notice shall provide information on the appeal process. The notice shall contain a statement that the suspension may lead to a permanent revocation of the permit.

(c) Following the receipt of such immediate suspension notice and within 15 calendar days thereafter, the permittee may file an appeal of the suspension and request a hearing be held in accordance with Section B22-11(a)--(c). If an appeal is filed, the Board of Supervisors shall conduct a de novo hearing on the appeal of any permit suspension and may permanently revoke the permit, dissolve the suspension, or conditionally approve or modify the suspension based upon the findings set forth in Section B22-13(a).

(d) If after the passage of 15 calendar days from the receipt of the suspension notice, the permittee has not requested an appeal, the Sheriff's decision to suspend shall become final and the permit shall be permanently revoked.

(Ord. No. NS-516.3, § 1, 1-9-01)
