Any material and substantial fraud, misrepresentation or default of the terms, duties and obligations imposed upon AMR by the laws of the State of Kansas, Chapter 5.25 TMC or by this franchise ordinance shall constitute grounds for forfeiture of this nonexclusive franchise ordinance. The City shall notify AMR in writing of any allegation of a material and substantial fraud, misrepresentation or default and shall hold a public hearing before the Governing Body of the City of Topeka on the merits of such allegations. Said public hearing shall be held within 30 days after the notification to AMR and shall be adjudicative in character but shall not bar the rights of any parties to pursue judicial review. Within 10 days following the conclusion of such hearing, the Governing Body of the City of Topeka shall act with respect to such forfeiture and shall submit a written statement to AMR. This franchise ordinance shall not be forfeited unless the Governing Body of the City of Topeka finds that there has been a material and substantial fraud, misrepresentation or default on the part of AMR so as to justify a forfeiture. In such case a notice of forfeiture shall be provided to AMR. In the event this franchise ordinance is forfeited, AMR shall, within 180 days of its receipt of notice of forfeiture, cease operation of an ambulance service hereunder.
