A. The police department shall conduct an investigation of each prospective applicant for each taxicab driver’s license, and shall review all of the information filed by the applicant as required by this chapter. The chief of police may request that the applicant provide letters of recommendation. Upon completion of the investigation, the chief of police shall recommend approval or disapproval of the proposed application for the mayor (or designee) on the police recommendation form.

B. It shall be the duty of the chief of police to report in writing to the mayor any misrepresentation or falsification by the prospective applicant on the police recommendation form which may be uncovered by the police investigation, and any such misrepresentation or falsification will constitute just cause for the mayor (or designee) to refuse to issue a taxicab driver’s license, or to suspend or revoke the same if it has been issued.
