DISCUSSION
The Long Beach Municipal Code (LBMC) requires a hearing be held before the City Council whenever a revocation of a business license is appealed.
On July 10, 2012, the City Council referred the appeal of the business license revocation for Dorothy Shubin to a hearing officer and the revocation hearing was held on August 9, 2012. When the City Council appoints a hearing officer to conduct the appeal proceedings, the LBMC also requires the City Council to review and consider the hearing officer’s written report. The City Council may adopt, reject or modify the recommended decision. In its discretion, the City Council may take additional evidence at the hearing or refer the case back to the hearing officer with instructions to consider additional evidence.
