(a) Initiating Action. The Sheriff may recommend that any card room permit issued under this chapter shall be suspended or revoked. Such recommendation shall be filed with the District Attorney, setting forth therein the reasons therefor, together with all supporting facts. The District Attorney shall thereupon submit the same to the Board of Supervisors with his recommendations.

(b) Supervisors’ Hearing and Action on Recommendation. Upon presentation of a recommendation for the revocation of a card room permit, the Board of Supervisors may order such permit suspended or revoked, if the Board of Supervisors determines that the holder of such permit has been guilty of violating any of the provisions of this chapter or that because of the manner in which such business has been operated its continued operation will be injurious to the public health, safety, welfare or morals of the people of the County. Any of the grounds upon which the Board of Supervisors shall refuse to issue a permit shall also constitute grounds for such revocation or suspension. Before ordering such revocation or suspension, the Board of Supervisors shall cause written notice to be served upon the holder of the permit that such suspension or revocation has been recommended to the Board of Supervisors, and that a hearing on such recommendation will be held in the Supervisors’ Chambers in the Humboldt County Courthouse, at a time mentioned in such notice not less than ten (10) days after the date of such notice. At such hearing the holder of such permit shall have an opportunity to be heard and present such evidence in opposition to such recommendation as he desires. (Ord. 396, § 7, 3/1/1961)
