The City shall send to a Sexually Oriented Business written notice of each citation issued to an operator or employee of the business for an alleged violation of Sections 18-120, 18-121, 18-123, or any provision of Division 5 of this Chapter. The notice will be sent within three (3) business days of the issuance of the citation to the operator or employee. The notice will be sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the business address of the Sexually Oriented Business as it appears on its license application, to the attention of the licensee, as it appears on the license application. A failure of the City to provide such notice is not a violation of this Chapter. It is not a defense to a citation issued to an employee or operator for an alleged violation of Sections 120, 18-121, 18-123, or any provision of Division 5 of this Chapter, that notice of the issuance of that citation was not given to the Sexually Oriented Business in accordance with this Section.
