A. In addition to the grounds set forth in Section 5.36.030, governing the issuance of licenses, upon which an application for an owner's license may be denied, the city council shall deny the same if it shall appear to its satisfaction that such vehicle proposed to be operated is inadequate or unsafe; that the applicant has been convicted of a felony, or violation of any narcotic law, or of any penal law involving moral turpitude.
B. Further, the city council may deny the granting of any permit to operate any public motor vehicle in the city for the reason that there is insufficient public need or demand for the operation of the vehicle or vehicles for which a permit has been applied, or for any reasonable cause which, within its sound discretion renders the proposed operations undesirable to the city, or inadequate.
(Ord. 108 § 4, 1953).
