(a) A scooter sharing license shall be issued for a two-year period. The fee for the two-year license term shall be calculated based on $1-per-day-per-scooter for the total number of scooters that the prospective licensee plans to deploy during the license term, assuming that all of the prospective licensee's scooters shall be deployed each day during the two-year license period. The license fee shall be paid as a precondition to issuance of the license and shall not be prorated. The Commissioner shall adjust the license fee to be paid by any licensee if the number of scooters a licensee deploys increases pursuant to this chapter.
(b) The license fees collected pursuant to this subsection (a) shall be used to cover the City's cost in the administration and enforcement of this chapter by the Commissioner and the Commissioner of Transportation.
(c) Nothing in this section shall affect the rights of the City to impose or collect any other applicable tax upon the leasing, use or operation of a scooter in addition to the license fee specified in this section.
(d) A scooter sharing license is non-transferable.
(e) A scooter sharing license is not renewable. However, before the end of a licensee's two-year term of license, or when the license cap is increased pursuant to Section 9-103-020 of this Chapter, or when issuance of a license is within the existing cap is otherwise possible because, among other reasons a license is revoked or surrendered, the Commissioner may issue a new license, complying with all the requirements and processes for issuance of a license provided in this chapter and rules promulgated hereunder.
