The recommendation is based on the following: On April 17, 1996 you were sentenced on the felony violation of Assault, 2"" Degree. On October 29,1999 you were sentenced on the felony violation of Criminal Damage to Property. Saint Faui Legislative Code § 376.16(e)(4) states that to be eligible to operate a tasicab an applicant must have no felony convictions in the last five years and no non-traffic gross misdemeanor or misdemeanor convictions in the last three years involving the use or threat of use of force. If you do not dispute the above facts, you may withdraw your application at this time. Altematively, if you do not dispute the above facts, but wish to have an evidentiary hearing before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) in order to provide evidence of rehabilitation or to say why you believe these convictions are not related to the occupation of tasicab driver, you wili need to send me a letter admitting the violations and requesting an administrative hearing. You will then be sent a"Notice of Hearing," so you will know when and where to appeaz, and what the basis for the hearing will be. Page 2 Jeffrey C.

The recommendation is based on the following: On April 17, 1996 you were sentenced on the felony violation of Assault, 2"" Degree. On October 29,1999 you were sentenced on the felony violation of Criminal Damage to Property. Saint Faui Legislative Code § 376.16(e)(4) states that to be eligible to operate a tasicab an applicant must have no felony convictions in the last five years and no non-traffic gross misdemeanor or misdemeanor convictions in the last three years involving the use or threat of use of force. If you do not dispute the above facts, you may withdraw your application at this time. Altematively, if you do not dispute the above facts, but wish to have an evidentiary hearing before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) in order to provide evidence of rehabilitation or to say why you believe these convictions are not related to the occupation of tasicab driver, you wili need to send me a letter admitting the violations and requesting an administrative hearing. You will then be sent a"Notice of Hearing," so you will know when and where to appeaz, and what the basis for the hearing will be. Page 2 Jeffrey C.

Miessner 588 North Miiton Saint Paul, Minnesota 55104 RE: Application for Taxicab Driver's License Dear Mr. Miessner: The Office of License, Inspections and Environmentai Protection has recommended denial of your application for a taxicab driver's license. The recommendation is based on the following: On April 17, 1996 you were sentenced on the felony violation of Assault, 2"" Degree. On October 29,1999 you were sentenced on the felony violation of Criminal Damage to Property. Saint Faui Legislative Code § 376.16(e)(4) states that to be eligible to operate a tasicab an applicant must have no felony convictions in the last five years and no non-traffic gross misdemeanor or misdemeanor convictions in the last three years involving the use or threat of use of force. If you do not dispute the above facts, you may withdraw your application at this time. Altematively, if you do not dispute the above facts, but wish to have an evidentiary hearing before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) in order to provide evidence of rehabilitation or to say why you believe these convictions are not related to the occupation of tasicab driver, you wili need to send me a letter admitting the violations and requesting an administrative hearing. You will then be sent a"Notice of Hearing," so you will know when and where to appeaz, and what the basis for the hearing will be. Page 2 Jeffrey C. Miessner September 12, 2000 o a-�Rf If you have not contacted me by Friday, September 22, 2000, I will assume that you are not contesting the facts and will schedule this matter for the St. Paul City Council and have it placed on the Consent Agenda during which nn public discussion is allowed and the recommended penalty will be imposed.
