A. If the chief of police determines pursuant to Section 6.04.070 that a license or permit should be denied or revoked, the chief shall notify the applicant, permittee, or licensee of his decision, in writing and with the reasons therefore, in person or by certified or registered mail. The notice shall also include the applicant's right to a hearing or an appeal under this section.

B. Within ten business days after posting of the notice as provided in subsection (A) of this section, the applicant may request a hearing before the chief to show cause why such license or permit should be granted or should not be revoked. If the applicant does not request a hearing before the chief within ten business days of the posting of the notice, the decision of the chief shall become final.

C. If a hearing is requested, and, after such hearing, the chief decides that the license or permit should not be issued or that a previously issued license or permit should be revoked, he shall so notify the applicant of his determination in writing. The applicant may appeal by filing written notice of appeal with the city council within ten business days of his notification by the chief. At his option, the chief of police may treat a request for a hearing as an appeal by so notifying the city council, which shall then treat the matter as an appeal under the following section.

D. Upon receipt of an appeal, or notification by the chief that he is electing to treat a request for a hearing as an appeal, the council shall schedule a hearing at the earliest opportunity and shall notify the applicant and the chief of the date of the hearing. Following a hearing the council may affirm, modify, or reverse the decision of the chief. Action by the council shall be final and effective immediately unless otherwise specified.
