The hearing on revocation shall not be held until at least ten (10) days' notice of the hearing has been given to the holder of the auxiliary ambulance license in question by delivery to the holder's principle place of business in the city. Such notice shall:

(1)

The holder in question shall be allowed:

To have full opportunity to disprove any charges and allegations set out against him in the notice.

Such hearing may be conducted by the city council or any agent, employee or representative designated by it. If conducted by an agent, employee or representative, then upon approval and adoption of the city council of findings of fact made by the person conducting such hearing, such findings of fact so approved and adopted shall be and become the findings of the city council. If the findings of fact made after such hearing show that the operator is not a fit and proper person to conduct such business, or is unable to pay in full reasonable claims for damages which might be asserted or for any reason the general welfare of the citizens of the city for the best interest of the city will be served best by such action, then the city council shall revoke and cancel the operating authority in question, and there shall be no appeal of any nature from such action.
