The Office of License, Inspections and Environmental Protection has recommended
denial of your application for a provisional taxicab driver's license. The basis for the
recommendation is as follows:
Your criminal history check shows a Gross Misdemeanor conviction
for Malicious Punishment of a Child from July 27, 2004. Saint Paul
Legislative Code §376.16 (e)(4) prohibits the issuance of a license to
and individual who has a Gross Misdemeanor conviction within the
three years involving the use or threat of use of force.
At this time you have two options on how to proceed:
Tf you do not wish to dispute the above mentioned facts and do not wish to challen�e the
denial, you can withdraw your application for a taxicab license. If this is your choice, you
should send the letter directly to the Office of License, Inspections and Environmental
Protection, Room 300 Lowry Professional Building, 350 Saint Peter Street, Saint Paul,
Minnesota 55102. The letter should be direct to Reid Soley and received no later than

2. If you wish to dispute the above facts, or wish to present evidence that the conviction is
not related to your license as a cabdriver, or that you have been rehabilitated pursuant to
Minn. Stat. §364.01 et seq, a hearin� will be scheduled before an Administrative Law
3udge. At that hearing both you and the City will be able to appear and present �vitnesses,
evident and cross-examine the other's witnesses. The St. Paul City Council �vill
ultimately decide the case. If this is your choice, please advise me by letter and my Lega1
A.ssistant, Julie Kraus, will take the necessary steps to schedule the administrative
hearin�. We will then notify you of the time, date and place of the hearing.
