2.

The certificate holder has committed acts or carried on a course of conduct which the city council finds after hearing establishes a lack of good moral character;

3.

The certificate holder abandons its operation of the ambulance business for a period of thirty days. Acts of God, labor disputes and other acts beyond the control of the certificate holder which cause abandonment or limitation of service shall not be considered an abandonment within the meaning of this section.
