[Ord. No. 6210 §1, 6-12-2012]
A. A taxicab
stand permit is a license issued by the Director of Finance of the
City of Clayton which authorizes the licensee to park one (1) taxicab
at a time in any designated taxicab stand in the City of Clayton.
Permits may be issued to an individual or taxicab company having a
valid on-call taxicab permit issued by the Metropolitan Taxicab Commission.
If issued to a taxicab company, the permit authorizes any one (1)
taxicab liveried as or bearing the name of that company to park at
each taxi stand within the City of Clayton. Qualified applicants may
seek and be issued more than one (1) taxicab stand permit (to a maximum
of two (2)) in order to park more than one (1) taxicab simultaneously
at the same taxicab stand. Multiple permits are not required to park
simultaneously at separate taxicab stands.
B. Applications
for a taxicab stand permit shall be submitted in writing on forms
provided for that purpose by the Director of Finance. Applicants shall
state the number of permits being applied for and shall submit proof
of a valid on-call taxicab permit at the time of application. Each
application shall be accompanied by an application fee of fifty dollars
($50.00).
C. Each
taxicab stand permit shall be valid for a period of one (1) year,
beginning on July first (1st) and ending on June thirtieth (30th),
unless sooner surrendered or terminated as hereinafter provided. The
fee for the first (1st) permit for any applicant shall be four hundred
dollars ($400.00). The fee for a second (2nd) permit for a company
shall be eight hundred dollars ($800.00). No company or combination
of related or affiliated drivers or companies may hold more than two
(2) permits. The fee shall not be prorated for partial license years
or in the event of surrender or termination. Taxicab stand permits
are not transferable.
D. Permit
holders are not entitled to reserved use of any specific taxicab stand
space, nor will the Loading Zones—Bus Stops—Taxicab Stands
number of permits issued be limited by the number of taxicab stands
or taxicab stand parking spaces provided by the City. Taxicabs authorized
by a valid taxicab stand permit may occupy any taxicab stand space
on a first come first served basis.
E. Taxicab
stand permits are subject to suspension or revocation upon a finding
by the Director of Finance, after affording the permittee an opportunity
to be heard thereon, that the permittee:
1. Does
not have a valid on-call taxicab permit issued by the Metropolitan
Taxicab Commission; or
2. That
any representation on the permittee's application was false or fraudulent;
or
3. That
the permittee has or has attempted to park more taxicabs than authorized
by the number of permits issued to that permittee; or
4. That
the permittee has in any other material way violated the requirements
for issuance of such permit or operation of taxicab stands.

Any applicant or licensee aggrieved by a decision of the Director
of Finance in refusing or disciplining a permit may appeal the decision
to the City Manager by filing with the City Manager a written request
therefor stating wherein and why the Director's decision is in error
and specifying the facts in support of the appellant's position within
five (5) days of the Director's decision. Judicial review of the City
Manager's decision may be had by filing a petition therefor pursuant
to Chapter 536, RSMo., in the Circuit Court for St. Louis County,
Missouri, within ten (10) days of the Manager's decision.
