Sec. 8-17. - Amendment of chapter.

During the term of any license granted under the provisions of this chapter, the county may amend any section or part of this chapter so as to require additional or greater standards of construction, operation, maintenance or otherwise, on the part of the licensee, including the payment of a larger or greater percentage of the

gross annual receipts of any licensee for the remaining term of such license. If this chapter is amended to require additional or greater standards, the licensee within ninety days after the effective date of such amendment shall comply with the new standards.

Prior to adoption of such amendments, the board of supervisors shall conduct a public hearing thereon. Notice thereof shall be given to all licensees hereunder by registered United States mail directed to each licensee at the address specified on the license application and by publication in a newspaper of general circulation once, no less than ten days prior to such hearing; provided, however, that unintentional failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of any amendments adopted by the board of supervisors. Such hearing may be continued from time to time, and the board of supervisors may direct the department of public works to investigate and conduct collateral hearings on technical aspects of the proposed amendments, as it deems appropriate.
