PUBLIC HEARING AND APPROVAL OF TAXICAB DRIVER'S LICENSE APPLICATION - RICHARD A. QUIMBY Mr. Richard A. Quimby, 1450 Candlewood Lane, Mishawaka, Indiana, appeared before the Board concerning the February 10, 1987, letter from Mr. Michael L. Vance, Director, Administration and Finance, advising him of the denial of his application for a Taxicab Driver's License. Mr. Quimby stated that he understands the license was denied because it was said he lied on the application regarding traffic tickets in 1977, 1978 and 1979. Mr. Leszczynski read several of the questions from the license application which Mr. Quimby answered that he has never been convicted of a misdemeanor, or has had his drivers or chauffeurs license revoked or suspended. Mr. Quimby stated that tickets were issued for a license plate that he no longer owned and he was arrested at the cab company. He further stated that that charge was dropped and he therefore didn't think it was on his record. He further advised that in 1977, 1978 and 1979 he was driving a cab. Mr. Leszczynski stated that a check of Mr. Quimby's background revealed that on April 20, 1978 his license was suspended, on November 27, 1978 the suspension was closed and on November 28, 1978 the license was suspended again. In response to Board Attorney Thomas Bodnar's question of whether the above referred to incidents occurred in St. Joseph County, Mr. Quimby answered that they did. Mr. Quimby stated that in 1980 he was issued a Texas driver's license in Houston and he was never advised that his license had been suspended in Indiana. He further advised that he had no traffic violations while he resided in Texas. As noted on the license application, Mr. Quimby did acknowledge receipt of a speeding ticket in Indiana.
