Prior to the issuance of a license for the operation of a taxicab or a taxicab service, each vehicle which is sought to be registered for use as a taxicab shall be thoroughly examined and inspected by the Police Department to determine if a vehicle is in safe operating condition. The town may promulgate reasonable rules and regulations governing the cleanliness, condition and maintenance of such vehicles and the periodic inspection thereof. When the Police Department finds that a vehicle has met the standards established by the town the Department shall issue a certificate to that effect which shall also state the authorized seating capacity of the vehicle.
('80 Code, § 5.24.020 E.) (Ord. 7-1978, passed - -78)
A license shall not be issued or renewed unless the applicant has, in full force and effect, liability insurance coverage for each vehicle authorized and comprehensive general liability insurance in the amount of $100,000 for bodily injury to any one person and $300,000 for injuries to more than one person which are sustained in the same accident; and $50,000 for property damage resulting in any one accident. The amounts for liability insurance are available for public inspection at the town offices during normal business hours. The insurance shall issue to the benefit of any person injured or who shall sustain damage to property proximately caused by the negligence of the applicant, his servants or agents. The liability insurance shall be written by a responsible insurance company authorized to do business in the state, and a current certificate of insurance shall be filed with the initial application and with each renewal thereof.
