It shall be unlawful for the owner or operator of a taxicab or limousine to use or permit the use of such taxicab or limousine for the transportation of a passenger for hire over or upon the public streets, where such hired transportation was solicited within the Village, unless such owner shall have first obtained, and shall have then in force, a license therefor from the Mayor of the Village as hereinafter provided.
Every owner's license issued hereunder shall be issued as of the first day of September and shall expire on the 31st day of August next succeeding the date of issuance, unless sooner revoked by the Mayor.

The annual license fee for each taxicab or limousine shall be in the amount set forth from time to time by resolution of the Board of Trustees. The license year shall commence on first day of September and shall expire on the 31st day of August next following the date of issuance. The fee shall be paid to the Village Clerk in cash or certified check at the time the application is made.
Upon satisfactory fulfillment of the foregoing requirements, the Mayor shall, if he deems the applicant capable of providing safe and necessary transportation to the residents of the Village and if he deems the sought-for license or licenses will tend to serve the public transportation need within the Village, issue to said applicant a license to operate the taxicab or taxicabs, limousine or limousines set forth in the application or such number thereof as he shall determine will best serve the public transportation needs of the Village.
There shall also be affixed to the left side of the front and rear bumpers of each taxicab and limousine the license (medallion) issued by the Mayor as hereinabove provided. A valid license card must be present in the taxicab and limousine and available to inspection at all times.
Keep trip records, and records of such other information as the Board of Trustees may from time to time by regulation provide, such records to be at all times open to inspection by the Mayor and police.
Keep the license for the vehicle and the driver's license issued by the Mayor to the owner and driver of the vehicle and a card setting forth the maximum rates to be charged, in accordance with the schedule on file with the Village, displayed in card frames affixed to the back of the front seat of each taxicab and/or limousine, facing the rear seat.
It shall be unlawful for a person to ride or operate a taxicab for the transportation of a passenger or passengers for hire over or upon the public streets, where such hired transportation was solicited within the Village, unless such person shall possess a valid driver's license issued by the Mayor in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
It shall be unlawful for the owner of the taxicab or limousine used in the transportation of a passenger or passengers for hire over or upon the public streets to suffer or permit such taxicab or limousine to be operated by a person who does not hold a valid license issued by the Mayor in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
Produce a testimonial, on a form provided for that purpose, from his last employer, unless, in the opinion of the Mayor, sufficient reason is given for its omission.
Applications for a driver's license must be filed with the Mayor and must be accompanied by a fee in the amount set forth from time to time by resolution of the Board of Trustees, plus the amount of the charge made by the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services for its search and report as provided in Subsection D of this section. Said fee shall be paid in cash or by certified check payable to the Village of Saugerties.
Upon receipt of an application and fingerprints, the Mayor shall refer same to the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services for such search and report as he shall deem necessary and desirable.
At the time of the issuance of such license, the Village Clerk shall furnish to the applicant a numbered badge containing a photograph of the applicant, which badge must be conspicuously displayed on the outer clothing in the hollow of the left shoulder of each licensed driver at all times when he is operating a taxicab, limousine or private livery van in the Village of Saugerties.
The owner of more than one taxicab, limousine or private livery van licensed by the Village of Saugerties shall have a terminal within the unincorporated area of the Village of Saugerties for the off-street parking of such vehicles when not actively in operation.
