§ 36-44. Holder's records and reports.

(a)

Every holder of a certificate of public convenience and necessity shall retain and preserve all drivers' manifests in a safe and orderly fashion for at least one (1) year following the year for which the manifests were completed, and upon request such daily manifests shall be available to the city. At the conclusion of each month, a monthly report shall be completed by each holder of a certification upon a form provided by the director of public works. This form shall request data such as the average number of taxicabs actually in operation during the month, the number of trips made during the month, miles driven, gasoline consumed, the number of in-city versus out-city calls, the number of accidents both chargeable and nonchargeable, the nature of any major problems encountered during the month and such other information as may be deemed desirable by the city.

(b)

Every holder shall keep accurate records of receipts from operations, operating and other expenses, capital expenditures and such other operating information as may be required by the city. Every holder shall maintain the records containing such information and other data required by this chapter at a place readily accessible for examination by the city.
