b. Following the conclusion of the appeal, the Board of License Commissioners is
empowered to take any of the following actions:
1. Sustain the suspension, revocation, or denial of Permit.
2. Overturn the suspension, revocation, or denial of Permit upon a finding that
proper procedure was not followed or that the available evidence does not support
suspension, revocation, or denial of Permit.

Bylaw.

inspection; to cooperate with the Principal Code Official to facilitate any complaint
investigation; to pay any permitting, inspection, or re-inspection fees; or to pay any
fines issued pursuant to this Bylaw.
