§ 14-145. Suspension or revocation of massage therapy establishment license.

(a)

A massage therapy establishment license issued by the city shall be suspended or revoked after a public hearing before the police chief where it appears that the massage therapy establishment licensee has been convicted of any offense which would make the licensee ineligible to receive a license or for violation of any of the provisions of this division, including application standards.

(b)

The police chief, before revoking or suspending any massage therapy establishment license, shall give the licensee at least ten days' written notice of the examination into the licensee's record and the opportunity for a public hearing before the police chief, at which hearing the relevant facts regarding the occurrence of the conviction or violation shall be determined.

(c)

All revocations or suspensions by the police chief are appealable to the city council within ten days of the revocation or suspension; provided, the appeal must be in writing and delivered to the city clerk. The city council may uphold or rescind the suspension or revocation, and if applicable specify certain conditions and stipulations associated therewith.
