. . g. Revocation, Suspension, or Fine. Upon a finding that the licensee of any license granted pursuant to this Section has failed to comply with any applicable statute, regulation, or ordinance relating to intoxicating liquor, the Council shall either suspend the license for a period not to exceed sixty (60) days, revoke the license or impose a civil fine on the licensee not to exceed $2,000.00 for each violation. No suspension, fine, or revocation shall take effect until the licensee or permit holder has been afforded an opportunity for a hearing before the Council, a committee of the Council, or a hearing examiner, as may be determined by the Council in action calling the hearing. Such hearing shall be called by the Council upon written notice to the licensee served in person or by certified mail not less than ten (10) nor more than thirty (30) days prior to the hearing date, stating the time, place, and purpose thereof. The Council shall revoke the license upon conviction of any licensee or agent or employee of a licensee for violating any law relating to the sale or possession of beer, wine, or liquor upon the premises of the licensee or if such revocation is mandatory by statute. If it shall be made to appear at the hearing thereon that such violation was not willful, the Council may order suspension or a fine not to exceed $2,000.00, provided that revocation shall be ordered upon the third such violation or offense. As additional restrictions or regulations on licensees under this Chapter and in addition to grounds for revocation or suspension stated in the City Code or statute, the following shall also be grounds for such action: (1) that the licensee suffered or permitted illegal acts upon the licensed premises unrelated to the sale of beer, wine, or liquor; (2) that the licensee had knowledge of such illegal acts upon the licensed premises, but failed to report the same to police; (3) that the licensee failed or refused to cooperate fully with police in investigating such alleged illegal acts upon licensed premises; or, (4) that the licensee failed to maintain financial responsibility required by this Chapter. The Council may, in its discretion, contract with the State of Minnesota for a hearing examiner to hold such hearing. 5. Duplicate Licenses. Duplicates of all original licenses under this Chapter may be issued by the City Clerk-Treasurer without action by the Council upon licensee's affidavit that the original has been lost and upon paYment of a fee of $2.00 for issuance of the duplicate. All duplicate licenses shall be clearly marked DUPLICATE. .
