§ 116.029 AVAILABILITY OF PERMIT.
   The City Manager, or his or her designee, shall maintain a list of persons desiring to obtain operating permits, including the number of permits desired by that person. In the event that operating permits become available through revocation, retirement or other means, as long as the total number of operating permits issued does not exceed the limit, if any, placed by the City Council on the total number of operating permits, then the City Manager shall inform the City Council that operating permits are available. Provided that, an approved application for an operating permit is on file, the City Manager or his or her designee, upon approval by the City Council, shall offer one operating permit to the first person on the list, and that person shall have seven days to present the prospective taxicab for approval, in accordance with § 116.025(A)(1). If, at the end of the seven-day period, approval is not received, then the City Manager, or his or her designee, shall offer the available operating permit to the second person on the list, and this person shall fulfill the same conditions of issuance. If not, the City Manager shall continue down the list in the same manner. If more than one permit is available, the City Manager shall continue to make offers moving down the list until all permits are issued. In the event that the end of the list is reached and additional operating permits are available, then offers shall be made starting at the beginning of the list, and so forth until all available operating permits are issued, or until no further persons desiring operating permits and who have approved applications are available.
