ORDINANCE NO. 13,906
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE #13,871
AND SECTION 23- 2(III)(e) OF THE CODE OF
ORDINANCES ESTABLISHING INSURANCE RE-
QUIREMENTS; DECLARING AN EMERGENCY; AND
FOR OTHER PURPOSES.
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE CITY
OF LITTLE ROCK, AKRANSAS:
SECTION 1. That Section I of Ordinance #13,871 and
Section 23- 2(III)(e) of the Code of Ordinances is hereby
amended to read as follows:
(e) Insurance. Before any taxicab permit is issued
for the operation of such cab, the owner shall
file with the City Manager or designated agent
a copy of a policy of insurance issued by some
good and solvent incorporated insurance company
licensed to do business in the state of Arkansas,
covering separately, or on a schedule attached
to such policy, each taxicab to be operated
under the direction of such owner. Said policy
must secure payment, in accordance with the pro -
visions thereof, to any person, except employees
of the owner, for personal injuries to such
persons and for any damage to property, except
property owned by, rented to`, leased to, in
charge of, or transported by the owner, other
than baggage of passengers, caused by the opera-
tion of such taxicab. Said policy must be for
the following amounts: $10,000 for the injury
or death of any one (1) person and subject to
that limit for each person; $20,000 for each
accident, and for damage to property, $5,000
for each accident. Each insurance company and
owner is required to notify the City upon lapse
or cancellation of such policy. Upon the lapse
of such policy, the taxicab permit granted to
such owner is automatically revoked as of the
date the insurance ceases to be in effect; it
will thereafter be unlawful to operate such
taxicab upon the streets, public ways, or alleys
of the City of Little Rock.
SECTION 2. All ordinances and parts of ordinances
in conflict herewith are hereby repealed.
SECTION 3. Declaring an Emergency. Because there is
a need to provide the citizens of the City of Little Rock with
adequate taxicab service, and the previous Ordinance did not
meet the needs of the citizen and because this Ordinance will
alleviate those problems, an emergency is hereby declared to
ti
exist. This Ordinance is found to be necessary for the
peace, health and safety of the public. This Ordinance
shall be in full force and effect from and after its passage
and approval.
