(a) Each license shall be valid for a period of one year unless sooner revoked pursuant to Carmel City Code § 4-13. Licenses shall be renewable at the option of the Board of Public Works and Safety. Applications for renewal shall be submitted to the Controller not less than 30 days prior to expiration. The renewal application shall then be submitted to the Board of Public Works and Safety for review and consideration. Renewal licenses shall be granted upon the same terms and conditions as the original license. It shall be the sole responsibility of the vendor and driver to reapply for a renewal in a timely manner. The Controller is not required to notify the vendor or driver prior to expiration of his license before revocation or refusal to issue a renewal license takes place.
(b) Any vendor making application for renewal may do so by mail; however, it shall not be the responsibility of the City to ensure that the application for renewal was received and processed. Sole responsibility for that process will reside with the vendor and/or licensee.
(c) The City may revoke the license of any taxicab or limousine operator found not in compliance with this division or City ordinances. License revocations may be appealed to the Board of Public Works upon written request within seven days of the revocation.
