A. Any person desiring a permit to operate vehicles covered by this chapter shall file a petition with the city manager. Such petition shall be verified by oath of the applicant, if a natural person; or by oath of an officer or partner of the applicant, if the applicant is a corporation, partnership, association or unincorporated company, and which petition shall set forth the name, age and address of the petitioner, if a natural person; or if a corporation, its name, date and place of incorporation, address of its principal place of business and the names of all its officers together with their respective addresses; or if a partnership association or unincorporated company, then the names of the partners comprising the partnership, association or company, together with their respective ages and addresses. The petition shall also state the trade name or style, if any, under which the applicant proposes to operate, full information pertaining to the extent, character and quality of the proposed operations and the manner in which such proposed operations are to be conducted, the type, model, capacity and condition of the vehicles proposed to be operated, a full statement of the petitioner’s assets and liabilities, and such other additional information as the city manager may require.

B. The city manager shall, upon receipt of such petition, make full and complete inquiry into the facts set forth therein and shall either grant or deny the permit. Such permit shall be for a specified number of vehicles which shall only be increased by authority of the city manager. Such permit may, at the pleasure of the city manager, be for a prescribed period or for an indefinite period; provided, that in either event, the permit shall contain a clause authorizing its revocation, or suspension, in accordance with the ordinances of the city whether in effect at the date of granting the permit or thereafter adopted. When issued, such permit shall constitute evidence of compliance with the terms of this chapter and shall authorize the permittee to operate vehicles under the conditions therein specified subject, however, to the requirements, obligation and limitations imposed by other applicable law, ordinances and orders of the city manager, and shall become effective only upon payment of the fees required by the provisions of the license ordinance of the city. (Ord. 473 §1, 2002).
