HEARING ON DENIAL OF TAXICAB LICENSE - NORMA JEAN MARSHALL Norma Jean Marshall requested a public hearing before the Board on the denial of her application for a taxicab license. Miss Marshall was present as was Attorney Edward Lark. Mr. Lark asked the Board the reason for the denial. Peter H. Mullen, City Controller, noted that the Police Department reviewed the application and recommended denial based on the fact that the applicant was out on bond on a prostitution charge as the result of an arrest on 12/16 -78 and it was felt, until the case was disposed of, the application should be denied. Mr. Mullen said he concurred with the Police Department recommendation and so advised the Board of Public Works. The Board denied the license. Mr. Lark stated that the case was disposed of and there was a finding of guilty. He asked the Board what action could now be taken. The Board advised Mr. Lark that the application could be refiled and the Board would consider all the facts. The fact that there was a finding of guilty means that the matter will be given very serious consideration by the Board. Mr. Lark stated that the offense was a misdemeanor and not a felony. Mr. Brunner noted that the Board was aware of that. Mr. Lark asked what procedure would be followed if the application is resubmitted. Mr. Brunner said the application would be reviewed and handled in the same manner as the first application. Mr. Lark asked if a statement from him attached to the new application would be helpful.
