Kingdom City Notice and Hearing Procedure ordinance (§ 605.290)

A. In any instance in this Article wherein a hearing is required, the Governing Body shall, after no less than ten (10) days' written notice to the applicant or licensee, hold such hearing to ascertain all facts in the matter.

B. Notice of such hearing shall be in writing and shall set forth the reason for the hearing or the complaint against the licensee and shall be served upon the licensee in person or by registered or certified mail to the licensee's last known address. In the event that the Governing Body is unable to serve the adult entertainment business licensee in person, and any notice sent by mail is returned by the postal service, the Governing Body shall cause such notice to be posted at the principal entrance of the adult entertainment business and such posting shall be a valid means of service.

C. At such hearing, an applicant or licensee shall have full right to be represented by counsel, to produce witnesses and other evidence, and to cross-examine all witnesses who appear against him/her. Oral evidence shall be taken only upon oath or affirmation. All proceedings in such hearing shall be recorded and transcribed as required by law. The Governing Body may receive evidence relevant to the issues from the applicant or licensee. Witnesses may be subpoenaed, and upon request of any party, the Governing Body shall issue subpoenas, and in a proper case, subpoenas duces tecum, which shall be served and returned as in civil actions in Circuit Court.

D. The Governing Body shall issue findings of fact and conclusions of law, and an order wherein it dismisses the complaint, or suspends or revokes the license previously issued. The Governing Body's order shall be served upon the applicant or licensee in person or by registered or certified mail to the applicant's or licensee's last-known address. In the event that the Governing Body is not able to serve such order upon the licensee or applicant for renewal license in the manner stated above, such order may be served by posting such order at the principal entrance of the adult entertainment business and such posting shall be a valid means of service.
