In the event the holder does not license the total number of vehicles authorized by said certifi- cate before February 15, of any year, he shall forfeit the right to any vehicle not so licensed, that authority shall automatically revert to the city and the certificate of convenience and necessity shall be modified to reflect the total number of vehicles actually licensed before February 15 of any year. Such forfeited right to operate any vehicle may be reissued to any person; provided, however, it shall not be reissued except upon application required by section 43-2-5 of these revised ordinances and by a showing of public convenience and necessity as required by section 43-2-1 of these revised ordinances. Nothing contained herein shall prohibit a holder from having vehicles in excess of the number authorized under his certificate for the purpose of replacement or substitution of an authorized vehicle under repair, maintenance or breakdown; provided, however, any such vehicle shall not be used as a taxicab other than as a replacement or substitution as herein provided.

Suspension and revocation of certificates. A certificate issued under the provisions of this title may be revoked or suspended by the Board of Commissioners if the holder thereof has (1) violated any of the provisions of this title; (2) abandoned operation of a Class A taxicab service for more than sixty days; (3) violated any ordinances of Salt Lake City or the laws of the United States or the State of Utah, the viola- tions of which reflect unfavorably on the fitness of the holder to offer public transportation. Prior to suspension or revocation, the holder shall be given notice of the proposed action to be taken and shall have an oppor- tunity to be heard. Sec. 43-2-20. Minimum use of taxicabs required. No certificate of public convenience and necessity issued in accordance with section 43-2-1 of these revised ordinances shall be construed to be either a franchise or irrevocable. It is the intent of the Board of Commissioners that all Class A taxicabs authorized be actually used for the transportation of passengers for hire. In order to implement that intent, the Board of Commissioners hereby impose the following requirements: (a) Each taxicab authorized under a Class A certificate of convenience and necessity must be in service a minimum of 75 cab days during any calendar six months. (b) Within thirty days after the end of each calendar six months a holder of a Class A certificate must file a report with the city license assessor's office. Such report shall be in writing, signed by the holder or by some person authorized to sign the same on behalf of the holder and must be properly verified. Said report shall contain the following information: (1) A list of all vehicles licensed under a Class A certificate during the preceding calendar six months showing the serial or engine number, the state license plate number and the city business license sticker number for each vehicle. Such list shall include any vehicle which has been salvaged or otherwise removed from the fleet as well as the replacement thereof. (2) The number of cab days each such vehicle was in ser- vice during the preceding calendar six months. (3) The holder may also file with such report a written statement of the circumstances that caused any Class A taxicab to be in service for less than 75 cab days. (4) A statement that the information contained in the report was obtained from the company records and that all statements contained in said report are true and accurate. (c) In the event any Class A taxicab licensed under the pro- visions of this title is not actually in service for the minimum required 75 cab days during any calendar six months, the right to operate that taxicab may upon at least 10 days notice to the holder, and upon the hearing had therefor, be revoked by the Board of Commissioners. The holder may appear in person or be represented by counsel at such hearing to show cause, if any he has, why the right to operate said taxicab should not be revoked. If, at the conclusion of the hearing, the board shall find that the holder has shown extenuating circumstances, the board may grant continuance of authority. Upon revocation by the Board of Commissioners of such authority, the Class A certificate of convenience and necessity shall be modified to reflect the number a�1. -9- of Class A taxicabs actually in service for 75 cab days during such calendar six months and the unused portion of the license fee will be refunded. Unused portion, for the purposes hereof, shall mean any remaining calendar quarter in the calendar year in which the revocation takes place. Said refund shall be one-fourth of the fee paid for each such calendar quarter. Such forfeited right to operate any vehicle may be reissued only upon application required by section 43-2-5 of these revisedr,ordin ances, and by a showing of public convenience and necessity as required by section 43-2-1 of these revised ordinances.
