RE: Taxicab V ehicle License held by Mohammed Abdulah Hassan, d/b/a Five Star Ta�ci
located at 6971 Washington Avenue South #B in Edina. MN (License ID No.
#20040000110)
Dear Mr. Hassan:
The Office of License, Inspections and Environmental Protection (LIEP) has
recommended adverse action against the taxicab vehicle license held by Mohamed Abdulahi
Hassan for the City of Saint. The basis for the recommendation is as follows:
On September 17, 2004 you were sent a letter from the Office LIEP requesting
license renewal and current insurance information with no lapse in coverage on Five
Star cab #303. As of today's date the license has not been renewed for Five Star cab
#303 and the insurance information requested has not been received.
The recommendation is for revocation of your license until such time as the insurance
information is received and license for cab #303 has been renewed.
At this time you have three options on how to proceed:
1. If you do not dispute the above facts but wish to proceed with your license
application, you may submit the necessary information to the Office of License,
Inspections and Environmental Protection at 350 Saint Peter Street, Suite 300,
Saint Paul, Minnesota, 55102 no later than Thursday, October 7, 2004.
Information should be directed to the attention of Christine Rozek.

2. 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 hearing before the St. Paul
City Council to determine what penalty, if any, to impose. You will have an
opportunity to appeaz and speak on your own behalf, or to have someone appeaz
there for you. The recommendation from the licensing office is for the immediate
suspension of your license until a certificate of insurance has been submitted and
approved by the licensing office.
3. 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 are contesting the
facts. You will then be sent a"Notice of Hearing," so you wiil know when and
where to appeaz, and what the basis for the hearing will be.
In either case, please let me know in writing no later than Thursday, October 7,
2004 how you would like to proceed. If I have not heard from you by that date, I will
assume that you are not contesting the facts of the violation. The matter will then be
scheduled for the St. Paul City Council and placed on the Consent Agenda during which no
discussion is allowed and the recommended penalty will be imposed.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at (651) 266-�710.
Sincerely,
