(A) Whoever shall violate any provision of this chapter for which no specific penalty is provided shall be punished as set forth in § 10.99.
(B) The City Council may, at any time after the issuance of the certificate provided for in § 113.02, suspend or revoke the same for a violation of §§ 113.01 et seq., any other applicable ordinance of the city or laws of the state by the certificate holder or an operator of any taxicab operating under the certificate. In addition to taking the action on account of a complaint forwarded to it by the City Manager as provided, the City Council may initiate the proceedings based upon any other evidence of violation. In the event of the complaint or violation, the City Council shall give the certificate holder notice in writing of the time and place of a public hearing to be conducted to determine whether or not any action should be taken to suspend or revoke an existing certificate or to disqualify a person from receiving a permit to operate a taxicab. A person may be denied a permit to operate a taxicab or may have an existing permit suspended or revoked because of his/her conviction of a felony or a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude if the crime directly relates to the duties and responsibilities of a taxicab driver. Any proceeding to suspend or revoke a certificate or permit shall be concluded and a decision rendered within 30 days after receipt of the complaint from the City Manager or initiation of the action by the City Council.
