761.27 SUSPENSION OR REVOCATION OF TAXICAB LICENSE.

   Any license to operate a taxicab may be suspended or revoked at any time by the City Manager or his designate, regardless of any criminal proceedings, if:

   (a)   The owner's application for license contained a material false statement; or

   (b)   The owner fails to operate the licensed taxicab in accordance with the provisions of this chapter and other ordinances of the City and the laws of Ohio; or

   (c)   The owner ceases to operate such taxicab for a period of thirty consecutive days without first obtaining the consent of the City Manager or his designate; or

   (d)   The owner fails to keep in force or on deposit with the City policy or insurance certificate hereinabove described; or

   (e)   The taxicab has been operated in violation of this chapter.

   A revocation shall take effect only after a hearing. Notice of such hearing shall be sent to the licensee personally or by leaving a copy at a place of business designated in the license. A hearing upon the revocation shall occur within seven days.

   Any taxicab license issued by the City may be suspended by the City Manager or his designee for a period not to exceed sixty days. Any such suspension shall be put into effect by serving a notice thereof upon the certificate holder by leaving a copy at his place of business as designated in the license. Such notice shall specify the reason for the suspension and the period of time, in no case exceeding thirty days, within which the condition causing the suspension must be corrected and may state that unless such correction is made within such time, the license will be revoked.
