A. "Suspension" of a license means that the licensee's privilege to operate his/her <br /> business (in the case of a for-hire license) or to operate a for-hire vehicle (in the <br /> case of a driver's license) is barred for a specific period of time. A suspended <br /> license may be reinstated upon the lapse of a specified period of time or by <br /> correcting the deficiencies. The conditions of reinstatement will be determined by <br /> the city clerk. <br /> B. "Revocation" of a license means that the license has been canceled. A licensee <br /> whose license has been revoked cannot have his license reinstated but must comply <br /> with all conditions of revocation including reapplying for a new license and paying <br /> all license fees. <br /> C. When the city clerk suspends or revokes a for-hire vehicle business license or <br /> driver's license,the city clerk shall first provide the licensee with a notice of <br /> proposed suspension/revocation which shall provide notification to the licensee <br /> that a hearing will be held on the revocation/suspension at a time or date <br /> determined by the city clerk. The notice of proposed suspension/revocation will be <br /> sent to the licensee at the address found on the licensee's application. It is the <br /> licensee's duty to keep the address information on the application current at all <br /> times. The city clerk will preside over the hearing. In the event the licensee fails to <br /> attend the hearing,the license will automatically be revoked/suspended. Any <br /> revocation/suspension will not be effective until the city clerk makes a <br /> determination following the hearing. <br /> D. Notwithstanding subsection C of this section, a license suspension/revocation shall <br /> become effective immediately without the benefit of any presuspension/revocation <br /> hearing when this ordinance requires a summary revocation/suspension or when <br /> the city clerk determines that it is in the best interest of the health and/or safety of <br /> the citizens of Everett to do so. <br /> E. Within ten days following the date of revocation or suspension of any license <br /> issued pursuant to this ordinance, or within ten days following the date of denial of <br /> any license regulated by this ordinance, an appeal may be filed with the city's <br /> parking hearing examiner. Upon the timely filing of an appeal,the licensee shall be <br /> afforded a hearing before the city's parking hearing examiner after notice as <br /> provided herein has been given. Said appeal shall be in writing and addressed to <br /> the city's parking hearing examiner, "ATTENTION: City Clerk."Notice of the <br /> time and date of such appeal hearing shall be given by delivering a copy of the <br /> notice to the holder of the license or by mailing a copy thereof to the holder at his <br /> last address as shown by the city clerk's license records which notice shall be <br /> mailed or delivered at least five days before the date fixed for the hearing. The <br /> city's parking hearing examiner shall,within thirty days after the conclusion of such <br /> hearing, issue a decision as to the revocation, suspension or denial. Such decision <br /> of the city's parking hearing examiner shall be final and conclusive as of the date <br /> set forth in the decision,unless within fifteen days from the effective date of the <br /> city's parking hearing examiner's order an aggrieved person or persons obtain a <br /> writ of certiorari from the Superior Court of Washington for Snohomish County <br /> for purpose of review of the action taken. <br /> 8 <br />
