The City shall examine, inspect and seal, at least every six months, all taximeters used in the City. If a complaint is made to the City Clerk that any taximeter registers improperly or inaccurately, then it shall be the duty of the City Clerk to immediately cause the taximeter to be inspected, and if it does not properly and accurately measure the distance traveled and register the amount of fare to be determined and charged therefor, then and in that event, it shall be unlawful for the owner or person in charge of such taxicab to permit its use until such taxicab is equipped with a taximeter approved by the City. For each inspection made by the City as provided in this section, there shall be paid to the City Clerk a fee of $10.00 by the owner or operator of such taxicab. In the event a taximeter fails to pass inspection, the fee for each reinspection shall be an additional $10.00. In case inspection is made upon complaint as provided in this section and such taximeter is found to be correct, such inspection fee shall be paid by the person making the complaint and not by the owner or operator of such taxicab. (Ord. 11792 § 1, 2-12-02. Code 1981 § 46-49. Code 1995 § 154-128.)
