to whom issued and the identification contained thereon.
36-20. Suspension or revocation.
The city clerk, upon order of the chief of police, shall suspend any taxicab

to comply with its provisions, such suspension to last for a period of not
more than ten (10) days. The city council may revoke any driver's license for
failure to comply with the provisions of this chapter. However, a license
may not be revoked unless the driver has received three (3) days written notice
from the city clerk of the proposed action to be taken and has had an opportunity
to appear before the city council and be heard.
36-21. Compliance with chapter provisions.
(a) Every driver licensed under this chapter shall comply with all city,
state and federal laws. Failure to do so will justify suspension or revocation
of his license.

chapter said vehicle shall be made to comply with all applicable requirements
of the State Motor Vehicle Code or other state and city laws.
36-22. Vehicles kept in clean and sanitary condition.

shall be licensed whose color scheme, identifying design, monogram, or insignia
to be used thereon shall conflict with or imitate any color scheme, identifying
design, monogram or insignia used on a vehicle or vehicles already operating
under this chapter, in such a manner as to be misleading or tend to deceive or
defraud the public. In case of such conflict or imitation the license and
certificate covering the taxicab or taxicabs shall be suspended or revoked as
provided in this chapter.
(b) Each taxicab shall bear on the inside of the passenger compartment clearly

with taximeters fastened in front of the passengers, visible to them at all
times day and night; and, after sundown, the face of the taximeter shall be
illuminated. They shall be operated mechanically by a mechanism of standard
design and construction, driven either from the transmission or from one of the
front wheels by a flexible and permanently attached driving mechanism. They
shall be sealed at all points and connections which, if manipulated, would affect
their correct reading and recording. Each taximeter shall have thereon a flag to
denote when the vehicle is employed and when it is not employed. The driver
shall throw the taximeter flag into a recording position at the beginning of each
BooK 235 PAGE 254
Page 6
trip and into a non-recording position at its termination. Taximeters shall
be subject to inspection from time to time by the police department. Any
inspector or other department officer is hereby authorized either upon com-
plaint of any person or without such complaint, to inspect any meter, and
upon discovery of an inaccuracy therein of over five percent to the prejudice
of any passenger, to notify the person operating said taxicab to cease operation.
The taxicab shall then be kept off the highways until the taximeter is repaired,
or replaced with another, the meter to be in the required working condition.

a taxicab within the limits of the city shall charge to exceed the following

For each succeeding 1/5 mile or fraction thereof .20
For each additional person for the whole journey .20
For each minute of waiting or fraction thereof .15
For each delivery .30
For employment per hour
10.00
(b) A $.50 gasoline surcharge shall be collected for each trip. Monies
collected shall be deposited daily in a separate account identified as "Gasoline
Surcharge Account" and dedicated solely towards the purchase of motor fuels.
(c) Waiting time shall include the time when the taxicab is not in motion,
beginning with the arrival at the place to which it has been called, and the
time consumed while standing at the direction of the passenger, or in the
observance of traffic controls, or due to delays in traffic when the taxicab
is traveling at a speed which is slow enough for the time rate to exceed the
mileage rate.
(d) No charge shall be made for the time lost because of the inefficiency of
the taxicab or its operator or time consumed by premature response to a call.
In no event shall the taximeter accumulate charges for time and distance
concurrently, nor shall there be a time charge when the taxicab is moving at a
velocity in excess of the rate per hour divided by the rate per mile.
(e) In the event the owners and operators of taxicabs propose to adjust such
rates to amounts greater than those immediately hereinabove set forth, they
may do so only after taking the following action:
(1) Owners and operators proposing to increase rates to any amount
above those rates immediately hereinabove set forth shall submit
to the city council a statement of such intention and of the
proposed schedule of rates of fare.
(2) Thereupon, such proposed increases shall be suspended until, the
city council votes affirmatively to approve such schedule, and the
schedule of rates of fare in effect for each proponent at the time
of filing such proposal shall remain in effect until such approval
is granted.
(f) Any collection of fares in excess of the maximum approved by the city
council in the manner hereinabove prescribed shall constitute a misdemeanor.
36-26. Receipt for payment of rates.
If requested by the passenger, the driver in charge of a taxicab shall deliver
to the person hiring the same at the time of payment, a receipt therefor in
legible type or writing containing the name of the owner, the taxicab license
number or the driver's signature and the total amount paid and the date of
payment.

amount of fare determined and charged for its use shall be plainly visible
to all passengers or occupants. There shall be posted in a conspicuous place
on the inside of the taxicab in the passenger's compartment a card, the size
of which shall be approved by the city clerk, on which shall be printed in
plain legible type, the rates of fares charged by the taxicabs.
36-28. Prepayment.
Every driver of a taxicab shall have the right to demand payment of the
estimated legal fare in advance and may refuse employment unless so prepaid.

the place where the dispute arose.

of the person engaging the taxicab regarding the loading or unloading of any
baggage, goods, wares or merchandise.

receive or discharge passengers, except upon one-way streets, where passengers
may be discharged at either the right or left-hand sidewalk or side of the
roadway in the absence of a sidewalk.
36-34. Cruising.
No driver shall cruise in search of passengers except in such areas and at such
times as shall be designated by the traffic director. These areas and times
shall be designated only when the traffic director finds that taxicabs cruising
would not congest traffic or be dangerous to pedestrians and other vehicles.
36-35. Solicitation of other common carrier passengers.
No owner or operator shall solicit passengers within the terminal of any other
common carrier, nor at any intermediate points along any established route of
any other common carrier. This rule is not intended to prohibit or interfere
with response to any call for taxicabs, made by telephone, or by signal from
a pedestrian or from soliciting patronage of a debarking passenger of any
common carrier.
36-36. Additional passengers.
No driver shall permit any other person to occupy or ride in his taxicab, unless,
the person or persons first employing the taxicab shall consent to the
acceptance of an additional passenger or passengers.
Ride sharing is not prohibited but shall be encouraged to promote energy savings.

any person who is incapable of entering the taxicab unassisted.
