RE: Tasicab Vehicie &cense heid by American Taxicab Service Corporation d/b/a Americab
premises located at 137 Mount Airy Street for the City of Saint Paul
License ID #: 19990007121
Dear SirlNladam:
The Office of License Inspections and Environxnental Protection (LIEP) has
recommended adverse action against the Taxicab Vehicie license held by American Taacicab
Service Corporation, dlb/a Americab for the City of Saint Paul. The basis for the
recommendation is as foilows:
The license and insurance policy have both expired on Cab #143. The
Of�ce of LIEP was informed by your insurance agent on September 2,
2004, that the insurance coverage for this cab was deleted on May 11, 2004
and there is no requirement that the city has to be noti�ed of the deletion.
Your license expired on September 2, 2004.
The recommendation will be for revocation of your taxicab vehicle license.
At this time you have three options on how to proceed:
1. If you do not dispute the above £acts please send me a letter with a statement to
that effect. The matter will then be scheduled for a hearing 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 appeaz
there for you. The recommendation from the licensin� office is for the immediate
suspension of your license until a certificate of insurance has been submitted and
approved by the licensing office.

evidentiary hearing before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ). If you wish to

facts. You wili then be sent a"Notice of Hearing," so you will know �vhen and
where to appeaz, and what the basis for the hearing will be.
3. If you no longer wish to operate Cab #143, you may send a written statement to

RE: Cab #143, License ID#: 1999�007121
Dear Mr. Soley,
This is in respond to yo,ur letter dated October 18, 2004, in regard to Cab #143, License
ID #: 19990007121.
On about mid 2004, Cab #143 was vandalized and thus, the cab was totally out of
service. Duriug this time, there was no any purpose, to have insurance in effect and pay
$50.00 per day. I did not violet any ciry ordinance. As you laiow very well, it is not only
a common business gractice, but also it is very weil known tt�at all other taxicab
companies aiso do cancel the insurance, if the cab will be out of service for extended
period of time.
I am in a process of replacing the vehicle, and issuing the license and insurance and thus,
I am asiang for your patience on this matter.
Thaak you in advance for all your cooperarion.
