If the Mayor or other city official responsible for the issuance of a city license, permit or other
approval, including, but not limited to, a liquor license and/or a video gaming license, after
hearing held by or for him, shall find that any person has willfully evaded payment or collection
and remittance of the tax imposed by this chapter, he may suspend or revoke such city license,
permit or other approval held by such tax evader. The person shall have an opportunity to be
