§ 6.36.060. Suspension or revocation of permit—Notice.

The board of commissioners may, upon its own motion or upon complaint under oath made by any person, revoke or suspend any permit issued hereunder for the following reasons:

(a)

If the board, in its discretion, finds that the continuance of the auction sale would result in detriment to the public welfare;

(b)

If the permittee is not a fit or proper person to exercise the privileges of the permit;

(c)

If the permittee has made any misstatement of a material matter in his application for a permit;

(d)

If the permittee has violated or failed to comply with any provision of this chapter, or in the conduct of such sale has committed or permitted the commission of any act or practice of fraud, misrepresentation, deceit or deception in connection with the conduct of such sale;

(e)

If the permittee has committed or permitted the commission of any act or practice in connection with such sale or any other auction sale constituting a violation of any law or ordinance;

(f)

If the permittee has violated or failed to comply with any rule or regulation adopted by the board;

(g)

If the permittee has conducted such sale in such a manner as to constitute a breach of the peace or to constitute a menace to the health, safety or general welfare of the public;

(h)

Whenever the board believes that in the public interest and necessity sufficient cause exists therefor.

When a permit is thus revoked or suspended, the board shall so notify the permittee by mail or in person, and give the reasons for such revocation or suspension.
