VEHICLES FOR HIRE § 78-96 Sec. 78-71. Temporary vehicle permits. Whenever a taxicab shall become inoperative, the owner may apply to the city secretary or his duly designated representative for a temporary permit to operate another vehicle during the time that the authorized taxicab shall remain inoperative. The city secretary or his duly designated representative, upon the presentation of the application and a certificate evidenc- ing an inspection of the vehicle, as well as the vehicle's compliance with all applicable provisions of this article, shall issue a temporary permit for any period not to exceed 30 days. All other provisions of this article relate to the operation of taxis operating under temporary permits, as well as annual permits. (Ord. No. 96-2135, § 1(2.6), 9-23-96) Sec. 78-72. Assignment. No permit issued under the provisions of this article shall be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or let without the written approval of the city secretary or his duly designated representative, and then only upon a showing that the transferee, assignee, or buyer is in full compliance with the provisions of this article. In no event shall a permit be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or let except upon full compliance by the purchaser with the terms of this article. (Ord. No. 96-2135, § 1(2.7), 9-23-96) Sec. 78-73. Expiration and revocation. It is the duty of the holder of any permit issued under this article to keep the permit current, and likewise to keep the application required in section 78-68 current. Failure of the owner of a taxicab for which a permit has been issued to use the vehicle for a period in excess of 60 days shall automatically render the permit null and void. The owner's permit authorized under the provisions of this division is a privilege and not a right and may be revoked by the city council for the violation of any applicable provision of this Code, state law or city article, rule or regulation, or whenever, in its discretion, deems the revocation best for the welfare, safety and protection of the lives, property and happiness of the citizens of the city. Any permit issued under the provisions of this article shall be nonassumable. No vested, irrevocable right is conferred upon issuance thereof by virtue of such issuance only. (Ord. No. 96-2135, § 1(2.8), 9-23-96) Secs. 78-74-78-95. Reserved. DIVISION 3. DRIVER'S LICENSE Sec. 78-96. Required. It shall be unlawful for any person to drive a taxicab within the corporate limits of the city without first obtaining a license therefor from the city secretary. (Ord. No. 96-2135, § 1(3.1), 9-23-96) CD78:11
