The driver of the taxicab shall upon demand by the passenger give a receipt for the amount charged. The receipt shall show the name of the carrier, vehicle identification, amount of meter reading or charges and date of transaction.

(1991 code § 6-17.66; Ord. 635 § 1, 1990)

All requests for rate change shall be submitted to city council for review and decision. No more than one request for rate changes may be made annually. Any rate change application shall be accompanied by both the carrier's compiled operating statement for the previous year and a current survey of the charges being made by other taxicab companies in Pleasant Hill, Concord and Walnut Creek. For each company listed in the survey, rate comparisons shall include the flag drop, per mile charge after drop, and the waiting time charge per hour.

The notice shall state the time, place, purpose and subject matter of the hearing. Second, mailed notice of the hearing shall be sent to all carrier permit holders at least seven days in advance of the public meeting. Third, notice of the public hearing shall be posted in the four places designated for posting by city ordinance. Action on the application shall be taken only after the council has had sufficient time to review the application and the financial information provided it.
