Sec. 28-36. - Revocation. (a) The chief of police or his/her/their designee shall have the right to revoke any certificate of convenience and necessity issued by him/her/them upon a finding, after notice, that the owner of such certificate of convenience and necessity is not rendering the public generally regular and proper service, as defined herein, or has violated any of the provisions of this article, or has so conducted himself/herself/themself or his/her/their taxicab business that a certificate of convenience and necessity would not have been issued to him/her/them pursuant to section 28-32. (b) In determining whether the owner of a certificate of convenience and necessity is rendering the public generally regular and proper service, the chief of police or his/her/their designee shall consider the following factors: information provided by the trip sheet records for the taxicab; the odometer mileage of the taxicab; the regularity of taxicab inspection over a period of six (6) consecutive months; compliance in providing the information on a quarterly basis as required by section 28-92; and any other information relevant to the quality of taxicab service being provided by the holder of such certificate. (c) In the event the owner/operator is out due to sickness or injury, the six-month period referred to above may be extended until such time as the owner/operator is able to return to work. (d) The holder of such revoked certificate of convenience and necessity shall have the right of appeal to the city council; such appeal shall be in the nature of certiorari. Such notice of appeal must be made within ten (10) days from the decision of the chief of police or his/her/their designee. (e) Vehicle resembling a taxicab. It shall be unlawful for any person to operate a vehicle, which is not a licensed taxicab, with painting or markings that would cause a reasonable person to believe that such vehicle is a taxicab. A city taxicab that ceases to be authorized as a taxicab shall have its colors and markings removed, changed, or altered so as not to resemble a taxicab before any operation in the city and may not be visible from any public way, until such removal, change, or alteration, is completed.
