Before any license is issued to operate a taxicab, the applicant shall pay to the City Clerk a license fee as specified in the schedule provided for in Section 802.24 for each taxicab to be operated under such license by authority of the City Commission. No licensee shall operate, nor shall the City Clerk issue a license for, more taxicabs than the City Commission, by resolution, authorizes for such licensee. The City Clerk shall record the motor number, license number and complete identification for each taxicab and shall deliver and assign for each a license sticker to be affixed in the lower left corner of the front windshield of the taxicab to which it is assigned. Each sticker shall bear a taxicab license number and the design or color of the sticker shall be changed annually. If the sticker is lost or destroyed, then the Clerk may, upon payment of a fee as set forth in the schedule provided for in Section 802.24, issue another for such vehicle for the remainder of the license year. If a licensed vehicle is sold or disposed of by the operator, then upon payment of a fee, and upon surrender of the license sticker, the City Clerk may issue another license sticker for the remainder of the license year for the vehicle, replacing the one sold or disposed of.
