opinion of the certificate holder, the existing maximum rates are at an appropriate level, or
whether such rates should be increased or decreased. If the petition indicates that the said rates
should be increased, the person submitting such petition shall supplement the petition with
documentation in support of such increase, such as evidence of increase of operating costs,
insurance costs, costs of living, and other relevant information. Each person filing said statement
shall at the time of filing, pay a filing fee to the City business license supervisor of one hundred
dollars ($100.00) to cover the City's costs of processing the statement and of conducting the
subsequent hearing thereon.

supervisor shall schedule a public hearing before a hearing officer appointed by the Mayor to
consider the question of whether or not the existing taxicab rates should be increased, decreased
or should remain unchanged. Notice of said hearing shall be posted in the office of the City
Recorder and shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the City.

preside at and conduct such hearing on the petitions so filed, and power to examine witnesses
and receive evidence, compel the attendance of witnesses, and compel the production of
documents.

act as a recommendation to the City Council. In the event said decision recommends an increase
or decrease in taxicab rates, the City business license supervisor shall, as soon as practicable,
