RE: Taxicab Vehicle License held by Abdiilahi Hersi Abdi, d/b/a Airport & Airline
Taxicab Corporation
License ID #20040404503
Dear Mr. Abdi:
The Office of License Inspections and Environmental Protection (I,TEP) has
recommended adverse action against the Tasicab Vehicle License held by Abdillahi Hersi Abdi
d/b/a Airport & Airline Taxicab Corporation for the City of Saint Paul. The basis for the
recommendation is as foliows:
On January 20, 2005 the Office of License, Inspection and
Environmental Protection received a notice from Airport
Taxi & Town Taxi stating that you are no longer employed
by their company and they withdraw their permission for
you to affiliate with their company. Also, your car has been
purchased by Airport Taxi & Town Taxi to be re-licensed as
a Town Taxi.
Saint Paul Legislative Code Section 376.10 (a) (i) states that
before a license can be issued the applicant must shotiv
"affiliation with a capable service company that Qrosides
24-hour radio dispatching, advertising, record keeping and other
common services to a group of taxicab owner and operators
using a distinctive color scheme and company name"
