Board of Supervisors. The holder of a permit or certificate receiving notice of revocation as set forth in § 111-27 may appeal said revocation of license to the Township Board of Supervisors within 30 days of said notice. The filing of a timely appeal to the Board of Supervisors shall stay the revocation of license until the Board of Supervisors has reviewed the revocation and given its decision, in writing, to the holder of the permit or certificate, which shall be made after a public hearing on the question of revocation held after notice of at least seven days shall have been given to the holder of the permit.
B.
Court of competent jurisdiction. Following the decision
of the Board of Supervisors upholding or revoking the license, the holder
of a permit or certificate revoked hereunder may appeal the revocation to
a court of competent jurisdiction as in similar cases, provided the appeal
is made within 30 days after the date of issuance of the order of revocation.
In addition to the other enforcement procedures herein provided, the
Township may institute in the name of the municipality any appropriate actions
or proceedings in law or equity to enforce the provisions of this chapter
and to prevent the violation thereof.

this chapter shall, upon being found liable thereof in a criminal enforcement
proceeding, pay a fine of not more than $1,000, plus court costs and reasonable
attorneys' fees, and may be incarcerated for a period not exceeding 90 days
for each and every violation. Such fine, costs, attorneys' fees, and incarceration,
after being reduced to a final, unappealed judgment, shall be enforced by
the Township pursuant to the applicable Rules of Criminal Procedure. Each
twenty-four-hour period during which failure to comply continues shall constitute
a separate violation. The Township Code Enforcement Officer shall initiate
criminal enforcement proceedings in order to achieve compliance with this
chapter.
