(a) Upon a complaint being filed by any person with the City Secretary of a violation of any of the terms or provisions of this chaptElr or the violation of any of the laws of the state, federal government or city, or upon motion of any member of the committee, the committee may, after ten (10) days' written notice to the permit holder stating the grounds of said complaint, conduct a hearing to hear evidence with reference to such complaint or motion. Should such hearing reveal a violation of any of the terms of this chapter or the laws of this state or federal government or other ordinances of the city, the committee may suspend, cancel or revoke the permit or permits of such permit holder, as the offense may direct. (b) After the committee has held its hearing and investigation upon the complaint or motion for the suspension, cancellation or revocation of a permit of any owner of a towing vehicle or an auto wrecker shall have the right to appeal to the City Council within ten (10) days from the receipt of the written decision of the committee only in the event of a revocation of the permit of the owner by the committee. Such appeal shall be in the form of a letter addressed and delivered to the City Secretary, stating that an appeal is desired from the revocation of the committee. The City Secretary shall notify the City Council of such appeal, and the council, as soon as practicable thereafter, shall notify the appellant as to whether or not such an appeal will be heard. If the City Council grants such an appeal, it shall either sustain or reverse the revocation of the committee. If no appeal is taken from the committee's action within ten (10) days, as set out above, the decision of the committee shall be final. Sec. 6-14. Transfer of Auto Wrecker Permits. Whenever an owner wishes to discontinue the use of an auto wrecker during the period covered by his permit and replace it with another, he shall file an affidavit stating that he has discontinued using the auto wrecker covered by his permit, and desires to use another auto wrecker in its place. He shall also attach a certificate from his insurer that such insurer has been notified thereof and agrees thereto. The City Secretary shall, upon the payment of a TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS ($25.00) transfer fee, issue the owner a new permit covering the new auto wrecker, as provided in Section 6-12 hereof, and cause the old auto wrecker permit to be canceled and voided.
