If, in the judgment of the city clerk, sheriff's department or chief of the fire department of the city, it is necessary for the protection of the public safety, health, morals or general welfare to suspend the license of any business pending the hearing for revocation thereof, such official shall file with the city clerk a written statement that such suspension of the license is necessary and the reasons therefor. Upon receipt of such statement, the city clerk shall suspend the license of the business by endorsing upon the face of the duplicate license a notation of the suspension and the date thereof. The sheriffs department shall enforce the suspension. Such suspension may be terminated at any time by the official who caused it to be made by filing with the city clerk a written request to such effect. If no such termination is made, the suspension shall continue until the decision of the city council is given upon the matter of the revocation of the license.
