Pleasant Hill Municipal Code Art. IV Enforcement By City

The license tax and penalty is a debt to the city. The city may bring an action to collect the debt.

(1991 code § 6-5.1; Ord. 754 § 1, 2000)

Each person subject to this chapter shall keep complete records of business transactions as provided in PHMC § 5.05.080.

The collector, and each person designated by the collector to do so, may inspect the books and records of a licensee or applicant to determine the amount of license fee due and to verify the information supplied by the licensee or applicant. Every person, by signing an application, consents and agrees to permit the city to examine his or her books and records for these purposes. A statement or information furnished by the business person under this chapter is not conclusive and does not bind the city.

If a person fails to submit the information required, or the collector is not satisfied with the statements or records filed, the collector may determine the amount of the business license tax by means of other information.

(1991 code § 6-5.2; Ord. 754 § 1, 2000)

A. Grounds. The collector may revoke or suspend a license granted under this chapter for any of the following reasons: (1) a false statement in the application, or (2) conducting business in an illegal, improper, or disorderly manner, or in a manner which endangers the public welfare.

B. Procedure. The collector shall give the licensee written notice of the grounds for revocation or suspension. The notice shall specify a time and place of hearing, and shall be given at least five days before the time of the hearing. The licensee shall show cause why his or her license should not be revoked or suspended.

(1991 code § 6-5.3; Ord. 754 § 1, 2000)
