NOTICE OF INTENT TO DENY LICENSE APPLICATION
Robert L. Coppock
562 Pelham Boulevard
Saint Paul, MN 55104
RE: Application for a Saint Paul Taxicab Driver's License
Deaz Mr. Coppock:
The Office of License, Inspection and Environmental Protection has recommended denial
of the taxicab driver's license application you submitted. The basis for the recommendation is as
follows:
Your Minnesota Driver's license is currentiy suspended for
failure to pay fines. Additionally, your driving record shows
that you have three moving violations in the past year. Saint
Paul Legislative Code § 376. 16 (e)(5)c. requires that to be
eligible for a license an applicant shali have no more than rivo
(2) moving violations in the last year.
If you do not dispute the above facts, you may withdraw your application at this time.
You may then reapply after Apri129, 2003, provided you have no new moving violations and if
your Minnesota Driver's license has been reinstated. Altematively, if you do not dispute the
above facts, but wish to have a hearing in front of the Saint Paul City Council to dispute the
recommended denial of your license application, you will need to send me a letter admittin� the
violations and requesting a public hearing. The matter will then be scheduled for a public
hearing before the City Council to determine the disposition of your license application. You
will have an opportunity to appear and speak on your o�vn behalf, or to have someone appear
there for you.
On the other hand, if you wish to dispute the above facts, I�vill 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 are 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 hearing will be.

If you have not contacted me by Monday, Apri17, 2003, 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 no public discussion is allowed and the
recommended denial of your application will be imposed.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at 266-8710.
