C. 
Violations; how calculated. In determining the accumulated demerit points against a license or permit within 12 months, the Town shall use the date each violation was committed as the basis for the determination.
D. 
Suspension, revocation or nonrenewal of license or permit.
(1) 
The Town Board shall call before it for purposes of a revocation, suspension or nonrenewal hearing all licensees or permittees who have accumulated 100 or more points in a twelve-month period, 150 or more points in a twenty-four-month period, or 200 or more points in a thirty-six-month period, based upon court-imposed convictions or adjudications. Demerit points may be assessed, and any suspension, revocation or nonrenewal may be imposed against one license or permit without affecting the continued use of any other license or permit held by the licensee or permittee. The Town Board may also initiate a revocation or suspension hearing on the licensee or permittee who is the subject of a pending criminal charge, or who has been convicted of any felony, misdemeanor or other offense, the circumstances of which substantially relate to the licensed activity, regardless of whether such charge or conviction is included in the demerit point schedule.
(2) 
If the demerit point accumulation calculated from the date of violation meets or exceeds 100 points in a twelve-month period, 150 points in a twenty-four-month period or 200 points in a thirty-six-month period, the license or permit of the licensee or permittee shall be suspended, revoked or nonrenewed. If the license or permit is suspended, the period of suspension shall be for not less than 10 days, nor more than 90 days. If the license or permit is revoked or not renewed, no other license or permit shall be granted to such licensee or permittee or for such premises for a period 12 months from the date of revocation or nonrenewal. Nonrenewal of licenses or permits shall be effective upon expiration of the existing license or permit. Revocation or suspension of the license permit shall be effective seven business days following the Town Board determination concerning suspension or revocation.
(3) 
If the licensee or permittee, as a regular part of its business, offers prepared food for consumption on premises, that part of the business of the licensee or permittee may continue. Provided, however, that no alcohol beverages may be served or consumed on premises until such time as the licensee or permittee holds a valid alcohol beverage license or permit. The business premises of any such licensee or permittee shall be subject to periodic inspections by the Town to insure compliance with the requirement that no alcohol beverages will be served or consumed on premises. If, as a result of said inspections or otherwise, it is established that violations of the provision prohibiting service or consumption of alcohol beverages occurs, further points may be assessed under this section and/or the Town Board may institute appropriate action or proceed to enjoin a violation of this section or cause said business to be closed.
