(A) The Council, on complaint filed by any person against an owner of a taxicab or limousine charging violation of any of the terms of this chapter or any ordinance of the city or laws of the state regulating motor vehicles, may after giving five days' notice of the ground of such complaint to the permit holder against whom complaint is made, hear evidence of such complaint, and after such hearing the Council may revoke or suspend the permit of the owner if City Council finds that a preponderance of evidence that good cause has been shown, regardless of whether the permit holder has been charged or convicted in a court on such charge.
(B) Whenever any person holding one or more permits for taxicabs or limousines shall for a period of 60 days consecutively fail to make a reasonable and consistent effort to operate such taxicabs or limousines, for any reason other than an emergency, over which the permit holder or owner has no control, the Council, upon hearing and after five days' notice to the owner or permit holder, shall revoke all permits covering such taxicabs or limousines not in use. The City Secretary shall keep a complete record of each taxicab or limousine permit issued and all renewals and revocations thereof.
