The license was issued in error, or

(2)

The license was issued on the basis of material information furnished by the applicant which was incorrect; or

(3)

The contractor has failed to comply with the ordinances and regulations of the City relating to the work for which the license was issued.

(b)

No license may be revoked or suspended until after a hearing is held by the City. The contractor shall be notified of the date, time and place of hearing at least ten (10) days in advance. The contractor shall be notified of the ordinances and regulations the contractor was alleged to have violated or the material information which was incorrect on the application.

Such temporary suspension shall be imposed only in those cases in which the public health, welfare and safety are endangered by the work of the contractor. Such suspension may include reasonable orders or conditions with which the contractor must comply. Any breach thereof by the contractor may be used at the hearing as further grounds for suspension.

(d)

Upon a finding that the contractor violated subsection 13-2604(a), the City may suspend or revoke the license for any period of time up to six (6) months.
