Any licensee who has been convicted of a violation of this article by a court of competent
jurisdiction may have his license revoked or conditioned by the city council. For
the purposes of this section, the term "licensee" shall include any officers or directors
of any association or corporate licensee and any partners of a partnership licensee.
Upon such a conviction, the police chief may place on the city council agenda the
matter of revoking or conditioning the license. Such agenda item shall be publicly
advertised in a newspaper of local circulation, and written notice of the charges
against the licensee shall be sent to him at least 14 days in advance, and the notice
shall also contain the date, time, and place of hearing such agenda item. After consideration
of the matter and allowing the licensee to be heard, the city council may revoke or
condition the license. The factors to be considered by the police chief and the city
council shall include the number and seriousness of the specific sections of this
article which the licensee has been convicted of; the number and seriousness or prior
convictions under this article; whether the penalty imposed pursuant to the convictions
has been satisfied, and based on such criteria, the danger to the health, safety,
and welfare of the public of continued operation by the licensee.
