The Board of Review shall investigate and hold a hearing as to each applicant for a permit for a taxicab or motor vehicle for hire/limousine. Such hearings shall be held at least quarterly each year. All applications to be considered at each hearing must be on file at the City of Toledo Central Permit Center at least five (5) full business days before the hearing. If the Board of Review finds from its investigation and hearing that the applicant has not made false statements on the application, is not addicted to the use of alcohol or drugs, has obtained satisfactory criminal record checks as required by Chapter 775 of this Public Vehicle Code and has provided satisfactory confirmation of State and federal registration or exemption as required by Section 773.02, and/or finds that the public convenience and necessity justify the operation of the vehicle for which the permit is desired, the Board shall notify forthwith the applicant of its finding. Within sixty (60) days thereafter, the applicant shall furnish the Officer with all additional information required and, if the Director then finds that such vehicle is a safe and fit conveyance and that it complies with all the requirements of this Public Vehicle Code, he shall notify the Division of Taxation & Treasury, which shall issue a permit to the applicant upon payment of the proper permit fee and the furnishing of the required bond or insurance.
