Within that period, the collector shall notify the applicant in writing that he is withholding the permit and shall give the reasons therefor, and a copy of same shall be forwarded to the state alcoholic beverage control board and/or to the state collector of revenue. The notice shall be either delivered to that applicant in person or sent to him by registered mail at the address given in his application for a permit.

If a violation of any provisions of this chapter is observed, the collector may give the permittee a written warning. However, if the permittee has been previously warned or if the violation is of a sufficiently severe nature, the mayor and village council may prepare and file the necessary proceedings for the suspension or revocation of the permit, setting forth the facts and circumstances of the violation, and shall thereupon summon the permittee to appear, in the manner hereinafter provided in section 3-66, and to show cause why the permit should not be suspended or revoked.
(2) Any person may file with the collector a sworn petition requesting that a permit be suspended or revoked. When such a petition is received by the collector, the collector may give a written warning or may otherwise refer the matter to the mayor and village council for further proceedings as hereinabove provided. However, no petition shall be considered by the collector unless sworn to by the petitioner in an affidavit which also affirms that the petitioner, together with witnesses, if any, will appear at the hearing to establish the allegations of the petition, which petition must also set forth facts constituting a cause enumerated in or authorized by this division for the suspension or revocation of a permit.
Sec. 3-62. Cause—Required.

g. Intentionally conduct or permit illegal gambling, as defined by law, on the premises described in the application for the permit;
h. Employ or permit females, commonly known as “B girls,” to frequent the licensed premises and solicit patrons for drinks and to accept drinks from patrons and receive therefor any commission or any remuneration in any other way;
i. Employ anyone under eighteen (18) years of age when the sale or handling of alcoholic beverages constitutes the main business. However, females over that age may be employed as well as males. If the sale or handling of alcoholic beverages does not constitute the main business, an employee under the age of eighteen (18) years shall not be permitted to handle, serve or work with alcoholic beverages;
j. Fail to keep the premises clean and sanitary;
k. Permit the playing of pool or billiards by any person under eighteen (18) years of age, or permit such a person to visit or frequent the licensed premises operating a pool or billiard hall;
l. Illegally sell, offer for sale, possess, or permit the consumption on or about the licensed premises of any kind or type of narcotics or habit-forming drugs.
(2) Violation of this section is punishable as may otherwise be provided by this Code and is also sufficient cause for the suspension or revocation of a permit.
(3) Violation of this section by a retail dealer’s agent, associate, employee, representative or servant shall be considered the retail dealer’s act for purposes of suspension or revocation of the permit.
Sec. 3-64. Same—Additional.
In addition to any other causes enumerated in this division, the village may suspend or revoke any permit for any one of the following causes:
(1) If there was any misstatement or suppression of fact in the application for the permit;
(2) If the applicant or any of the persons who must possess the same qualifications failed to possess the qualifications required by this article at the time of application;
(3) If the permit was issued to any interposed person in contravention of this article;
(4) If the permit was granted to any person who is or has been engaged in an alcoholic beverage business with a person whose application for a permit has been denied or whose permit has been revoked;
(5) If the holder of any permit has been convicted by any court of competent jurisdiction of any one of the following offenses:
a. Violation of the Sunday closing law;
b. Violation of any municipal ordinance providing for Sunday closing hours;
c. Violation of any provision of this chapter.
(6) If the dealer fails to pay any excise taxes due by any regulated business to the village, or to any other governing authority.
Sec. 3-65. Hearing—Required.
Before any permit issued under this article is suspended or revoked, the holder thereof shall be entitled to a hearing, as hereinafter provided, and no permit shall be revoked unless the hearing has been held and a majority of the mayor and village council vote for the suspension or revocation.
Sec. 3-66. Same—Notice.
A notice shall be served upon the permittee stating the time and place of the hearing to be held by the mayor and village council, which hearing shall be not less than ten (10) calendar days from the date the notice is given. The notice shall enumerate the cause for suspending or revoking the permit and shall be sent by registered mail to the permittee at the address of his place of business as given in his application for the permit, or may be served on him in person by any officer or employee of the village.
Sec. 3-67. Same—Determination by mayor and village council.
In determining causes involving the suspension or revocation of alcoholic beverage permits, if the mayor and village council find that the violation is of a minor nature, or that there are extenuating circumstances, or that there are reasonable grounds to expect that the permittee will not again violate any of the provisions of this chapter, the mayor and village council may suspend the permit for such time as they think proper. If the permittee has previously been fined or had a permit suspended or revoked, or if the violation is flagrant or serious, or if the permittee has been previously warned of the violation by officials, agents or employees of the village, the mayor and village council may revoke the permit and shall immediately notify the proper state agency of their action.
Sec. 3-68. Same—Absence of permittee or applicant.
If the permittee or applicant who has been notified of a hearing does not appear, the hearing may proceed without him and the mayor and village council may consider and dispose of the case, but in all cases the mayor and village council, upon application or ex proprio motu, may grant continuances from time to time. If the continuance be granted to a fixed future date by written consent or in the presence of the permittee, applicant, or his counsel, no further notice of the hearing date need be given. In all other cases, however, the same notice of hearing as in the original hearing shall be given.
Sec. 3-69. Same—Contempt; penalty.
If any person fails to comply with the subpoena issued by the mayor and village council in connection with the holding of a hearing concerning the revocation or suspension of a permit, or if a witness refuses to testify in any matter regarding which he may be lawfully interrogated, he may be adjudged guilty of contempt and may be punished in accordance with section 1-9.
Sec. 3-70. Status of premises after revocation.
When an alcoholic beverage permit is revoked for any legal cause, the mayor and village council may order, at the same time, that no permit shall be issued covering the same premises until one year after the date of revocation.
Sec. 3-71. Appeal.
A permittee who is aggrieved by a decision of the mayor and village council to suspend or revoke his alcoholic beverage permit may, within ten (10) days of the notification of the decision, take a devolutive appeal to the district court having jurisdiction of his place of business and on the appeal the trial shall be de novo. Within ten (10) calendar days from the signing of the judgment by the district court, the village or the permittee, as the case may be, may devolutively appeal from the judgment of the district court to the court of appeals as in ordinary civil cases.
Sec. 3-72. Penalty additional.
In addition to the suspension or revocation of a permit, anyone convicted of violating any provision of this chapter shall be guilty of committing a misdemeanor and shall be punished as provided in section 1-11 of this code.”
