               of any such application shall be immediately reported to the county manager. Any person
               denied a permit for such reason shall be entitled to appeal such denial to the board
               of county commissioners within the same time and under the procedure set forth in
               the preceding paragraph for suspensions. Upon hearing, the board may deny such a permit
               if it finds that the applicant has in the past failed to comply with an ordinance
               regulating the keeping of wild and vicious animals and that such conduct was a continuing
               matter, and that such conduct placed the safety of one or more citizens in jeopardy.
