(b) Application for Medallion License. The highest bidder must file an application for a Taxicab License with the Commission within three weeks from the auction date, unless the Chairperson extends the deadline for good cause.
(c) Denial of Application.
(1) If the highest bidder's application for a license is denied for any reason, the second-highest bidder will be awarded the sale on condition that the second-highest bidder's application for a Taxicab License is approved by the Chairperson.
(2) If neither the highest bidder's nor the second-highest bidder's application for a license is approved, the auction will be nullified.
