§ 14-43. Notice of violation and revocation.

(a)

Notice of violation. The city clerk is hereby authorized and empowered to revoke any current license issued if the licensee fails to pay or has 1) any tax of any kind outstanding due to the State of Missouri or 2) any obligation due to the city. No revocation shall become effective until the city clerk has notified the licensee, or any person that is in charge of any definite place of business maintained by the licensee in the city, in writing by certified mail of the grounds for revocation of the license and has provided the licensee up to twenty-one (21) days from time of date of mailing to correct the cause(s) for revocation. If the cause(s) has not been corrected within that time period, then the license shall be revoked and subject to actions as provided for in this article.

(b)

Outstanding State of Missouri taxes. A statement of no tax due issued by the Missouri Department of Revenue will be required prior to issuance or continuance of a license. The effective date on the statement of no tax due shall be dated no more than ninety (90) days prior to its submission to the city clerk for license reissuance.

(c)

Disconnection from water or sewer system. The service address of any business that is operating without a license in violation of this section and which is directly connected to the city water and/or sewer utility system, shall be disconnected from the city water and/or sewer utilities if such violation is not corrected within twenty-one (21) days after mailing of notice of violation.

(d)

A revocation, once effective, shall place the licensee in such position as if a license had never been obtained.

(e)

Revocation of a license will subject the licensee to concurrent revocation of any current liquor license(s) for that business.
