5.28.290 Driver’s permit--Revocation or suspension--Appeal--Hearing.
A.
1. The chief law enforcement officer may summarily revoke or suspend any driver’s permit issued under the provisions of this chapter; provided, that he has knowledge that the holder thereof, either before or after issuance of his driver’s permit, has been convicted of violating any of the provisions of the chapter, or has been convicted of a felony of the violation of any of the provisions of the State Alcoholic Beverage Control Act, the State Narcotic Law, or of assault, battery, pandering, driving vehicle while under the influence of intoxicants or narcotics, reckless driving, or any other charge or act sufficiently irregular to justify revocation or suspension of such permit.
2. It is unlawful for any person to drive, operate or be in charge of any vehicle governed or affected by this chapter during the time that his driver’s permit has been suspended or after the same has been revoked.
B. Any driver who may be aggrieved by the action of the chief law enforcement officer in suspending or revoking his driver’s permit or temporary driver’s permit, or any applicant who may be aggrieved by the denial by the chief law enforcement officer of his application, may within ten days from such denial, suspension or revocation, make written objection to the Wasco city council setting up the grounds for grievance, whereupon the city council shall fix a date for hearing such objections, giving written notice thereof to such applicant, and upon such hearing may sustain, suspend or overrule the decision of the chief law enforcement officer, which such decision shall be final and conclusive. Such order of suspension or revocation by the chief law enforcement officer, shall remain in full force and effect unless and until acted upon and reversed or modified by the city council. (Ord. 473 §1, 2002).
