The market manager may issue a notice of civil offense against a city market licensee for every violation and/or for each day on which a violation continues, may suspend or revoke the use of market space, or may deny an application for use of market space, for any one or more of the following reasons:

(a)

Violation of any provision in this chapter, violation of any laws, ordinances or statutes, violation of any federal laws regulating the use of food stamps, violation of any city market rule or regulation, violation of any laws related to city markets or weights, scales and measure, or rules of the board of health.

(b)

Violation of any provision of city market licensee's lease agreement or permit.

(c)

Failure to comply with any lawful order of the city manager, the manager of facility management, the market manager, or their designees.

(d)

Misrepresenting or providing a false statement in the obtaining of an agreement for use of city market space.

(e)

Non-use for a period in excess of 30 calendar days of city market space inside the Findlay Market House by a city market licensee with a one year lease agreement for such space; or non-use for a period of 4 consecutive months of city market space outside the Findlay Market House by a city market licensee with a one year lease agreement for such space. Upon written request, the market manager may waive this forfeiture provision for a specific period of time, when in the determination of the market manager it is in the best interest of the city market to do so, where non-use was due to circumstances such as, but limited to, injury, military service, or illness.

(f)

Failure to pay a fine imposed upon a city market licensee by the market manager.
