Notwithstanding the city's right to regulate taxicabs and other for-hire vehicles within its jurisdiction, the city council, by resolution currently in effect or as may be adopted from time to time, has authorized a contract with San Diego Metropolitan Transit System ("MTS") for the administration and enforcement by MTS of regulations, policies and ordinances for taxicabs and other for-hire vehicles operated within the city, including collection and administration of all applicable regulatory fees, fines and forfeitures. While that contract is in effect, the applicable regulations, policies and ordinances of MTS, including MTS Codified Ordinance No. 11, as now in effect or as may be amended from time to time, shall govern the operation of taxicabs and other for-hire vehicles within the city. Licensing of a taxicab and other for-hire vehicle or the operator or owner by MTS does not exempt the licensee from city business tax license requirements and payment of fees pursuant to Chapter 6.04. A copy of MTS Codified Ordinance No. 11 is on file in the office of the city clerk.
