As a condition to granting a taxi license, the applicant shall file with the City evidence of liability insurance coverage, via a certificate of insurance executed by a company authorized to do insurance business in this State, and that is acceptable to the City and provides the minimum limits set by Council resolution. Each certificate of insurance shall require written notice to the City ten calendar days prior to any nonrenewal, suspension, cancellation, or termination of coverage. Failure to maintain such coverage in full force and effect shall constitute immediate revocation of the license.
The City shall promptly review each application and shall issue a license when the City Administrator determines that there is no information which would indicate that the issuance of such license would be detrimental to the safety, health, or welfare of residents of the City. An application for a license may be denied based on an adverse driving record, conviction of other crimes or prior experience of the applicant that demonstrates a disregard for the safety of others and/or a lack of responsibility.
All taxi licenses issued pursuant to this chapter shall be valid for one year. The license fee provided for under this chapter shall be nonrefundable and not prorated for revocation or suspension. However, the license fee shall be prorated for operation of a taxi service for only a portion of a license period. The license period shall commence on July 1, or on the date the operations are started, and shall terminate the last day in June. Renewals shall follow the same procedure as set for initial issuance.
