(A) Upon approval of an application for a taxicab driver's license, the Police Department shall issue a license to the applicant which shall bear the name, address, color, age, sex, signature and photograph of the applicant. Copies of the applicant's photograph and fingerprint record shall also be maintained at the Police Department.
(B) Such license shall be in effect for the remainder of the calendar year. A license for every calendar year thereafter will become available on January 1, must be secured no later than February 15 and shall be issued only upon a re-examination of the driver's traffic records for the previous calendar year and the payment of the sum prescribed unless the license for the preceding year has been revoked. If the driver's traffic record discloses several traffic violations, the Chief of Police may either deny or temporarily renew a driver's license for a specified period of time not to exceed however 120 days in duration. Failure to contact the Police Department in order to meet this February 15 deadline will result in an automatic 30-day suspension of the holder's certificate of public convenience and necessity.
