St. Paul, MN 55116
RE: Taxicab Driver license held by Hassan M. Abdi for tke`Eity of Saint Pau1
License ID #: 20040000607
Dear Hassan Mohamed Abdi:
The Office of License, Inspecrions and Environmental Protection has recommended
revocation of the Taxicab Driver license held by Hassan M. Abdi for the City of Saint Paul. The
basis for the recommendation is as follows:
During a routine check of your driving record for your license renewal, it
was discovered that your driver's license had expired on January 1, 2007 and
was canceled by the State of Minnesota effective January 8, 2007 for failure
to submit clearance. This is a violafion of Saint Paul Legislative Code 376.16
(e) (8) (]x) which states: "Any time that a licensee's Minnesota or Wisconsin
driver's license is suspended, revoked or canceled, his or her tagicab license
shall likewise be immediateIy suspended, revoked or canceled. 1Vo person
sha11 operate a ta%icab without a valid Minnesota or Wisconsin driver's
license."
At this time, you have three options on how to proceed:
If you wish to haue a public hearing before the Saint Paul City Council, you will need to
send me a letter with a statement admitting fhe facts and requesting a public hearing. We
will need to receive your letter by Tuesday, February 20, 2007. The matter wiil then be
scheduled befare the City Council for a.public hearing to determiiie whethex to xevoke
your license. You wiIl have an opportunity to appear before the Council and make a
statement on your own behalf.

2. ff you dispute the above facts, you can request a hearing before an Administrative Law
Judge. At that hearing both you and the City will be able to appeaz and present
witnesses, evidence and cross-examiue the other's witnesses. The St. Paul City Council -
will ultimately decide the case. If this is your choice, please advise me by Tuesday,
February 20, 2007, and I will take the necessary steps to schedule the admiuistrafiive
hearing.
3. If you no longer wish to do business in the City of Saint Paul, you will need to send a
written statement to that effect to the Office of License, Inspections and Environmental
Protection, 8 Fourth Sireet East, Suite 200, St. Paul, Minnesota 55101-1002 no later than
Tuesday, February 20, 2Q07. Information should be directedto the attention of
Christine Rozek.
