(b) The licensee may appear in person at the hearing and may be represented by an attorney or any other person. All hearings will be open to the public. The city and the licensee are entitled to present evidence and arguments at the hearing. The board may, through its chair or secretary, administer oaths and compel the attendance of witnesses by subpoena issued by the chair. If the licensee does not appear, the board may proceed to hear and determine whether to revoke the licensee's license. (c) If the licensee admits the truth of the charges, or if the board, by vote of three or more members, finds them to be true, the board will revoke the license of the licensee. The decision of the board in each revocation hearing will be entered into the minutes of the board. (d) Notice of the revocation will be given by the board either in person at the hearing, by first class mail to the licensee's last address on the building official's records, or by hand delivery to the licensee. Notice by mail is deemed to be received three days after posting. (e) A licensee whose license is revoked under this section may not apply for another license until one year after the effective date of revocation. Sec. 14.381.
