RE: Americab Taxicab #53
License ID #: 19990000662
Dear Sir/Madam:
The Office of License, Inspections and Environmental Protection has recommended
adverse action against the taxicab vehicle license held by American Taxicab Service Corporation,
d/b/a Americab. The basis for the recommendation is as follows:
On August 30, 2001 you were sent a letter advising you that
vehicle #53 should be brought in for inspection on September
28, 2001, but the vehicle was not presented for inspection.
Additionaliy, the Office of LIEP received notice that the
insurance coverage on this vehicle expired at 12:01 a.m. on
October 7, 2001 and no information has been received about
replacement coverage for this vehicle. And finally, license fees
for this vehicle are delinquent as of October 7, 2001.
If you do not dispute the above facts please send me a letter with a statement to that
effect. The matter will then be scheduled for a hearin� before the St. Paul City Council to
determine what penalty, if any, to impose. You will have an opportunity to appear and speak on
your own behalf, or to have someone appear there for you. The recommendation from the
licensing office is for the immediate suspension of this taxicab vehicle license until 1) the vehicle
has passed inspection, 2) proof of current insurance coverage is provided, and 3) all license fees
and late fees have been paid in full.

On the other hand, if you wish to dispute the above facts, I will schedule an evidentiary
hearing before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ). If you wish to have such a hearing, please
send me a letter stating that you aze contesting the facts. You will then be sent a"Notice of
Hearing," so you will know when and where to appear, and what the basis for the hearin� will be.
In either case, please let me lrnow in writing no later than Thursday, October 25, 2001,
how you wish to proceed. If you have not contacted me by Thursday, October 25, 2001, I
will assume that you are not contesting the above facts. I will then schedule this matter for
the St. Paul City Councii and have it placed on the Consent Agenda during which no public
discussion is allowed and the recommended penalty will be imposed.
If you have questions about these options, please feel free to contact me at 266-8710 to
discuss them.

RE: Americab Taxicab #53
License ID #: 19990000662
Dear Sir/Madam:
The Office of License, Inspections and Environmental Protection has recommended
adverse action against the taxicab vehicle license held by American Taxicab Service Corporation,
d/b/a Americab. The basis for the recommendation is as follows:
On August 30, 2001 you were sent a letter advising you that
vehicle #53 should be brought in for inspection on September
28, 2001, but the vehicle was not presented for inspection.
Additionaliy, the Office of LIEP received notice that the
insurance coverage on this vehicle expired at 12:01 a.m. on
October 7, 2001 and no information has been received about
replacement coverage for this vehicle. And finally, license fees
for this vehicle are delinquent as of October 7, 2001.
If you do not dispute the above facts please send me a letter with a statement to that
effect. The matter will then be scheduled for a hearin� before the St. Paul City Council to
determine what penalty, if any, to impose. You will have an opportunity to appear and speak on
your own behalf, or to have someone appear there for you. The recommendation from the
licensing office is for the immediate suspension of this taxicab vehicle license until 1) the vehicle
has passed inspection, 2) proof of current insurance coverage is provided, and 3) all license fees
and late fees have been paid in full.

On the other hand, if you wish to dispute the above facts, I will schedule an evidentiary
hearing before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ). If you wish to have such a hearing, please
send me a letter stating that you aze contesting the facts. You will then be sent a"Notice of
Hearing," so you will know when and where to appear, and what the basis for the hearin� will be.
In either case, please let me lrnow in writing no later than Thursday, October 25, 2001,
how you wish to proceed. If you have not contacted me by Thursday, October 25, 2001, I
will assume that you are not contesting the above facts. I will then schedule this matter for
the St. Paul City Councii and have it placed on the Consent Agenda during which no public
discussion is allowed and the recommended penalty will be imposed.
If you have questions about these options, please feel free to contact me at 266-8710 to
discuss them.
Sincerely,
