RE: Taxicab Vehicle license held by Abdirisaq Hersi Aluned d/b/a Airport & Airline
Taxicab Corporation for the City of Saint Paul

Dear Mr. Ahmed:
The Department of Safety and Inspections (DSI) has recommended suspension of the
Taxicab Vehicle license held by Abdirisaq Hersi Ahmed d/b/a Airport and Airline Taxicab
Corporation for the City of Saint Paul. The basis for the recommendation is as follows:
According to DSI records, your Taxicab Vehicle license expired on
November 22, 2008 and is now delinquent. You currently owe $381.00 in
delinquent license and late fees. You were also required to submit a
Vehicle Inspection Sheet.
As of today's date the delinquent license and late fees have not been paid
and you have not submitted the required Vehicle Inspection Sheet.
At this time you have three opfions on how to proceed:
You can pay the delinquent license and late fees of $381.00 and submit a Vehicle
Inspection Sheet. If this is your choice, you should send the payment and information
directly to the Department of Safety and Inspections, at 375 Jackson Street, Ste. 220, St.
Paul, Minnesota 55101-1806 no later than Monday, February 9, 2009. Information
shouid be directed to the attention of Christine Rozek. A self-addressed envelope is
enclosed for your convenience. Payxnent of the delinquent license and late fees and
submission of the Vehicle Inspection Sheet will be considered to be a waiver of the
hearing to which you aze entitled.
