(Ord. 1744 § 1, 1998) 6.40.200 Operating Requirements: A. Taximeter Required: It is unlaw- ful for any owner or driver to operate any taxicab in the City unless such vehicle is equipped with a taximeter of such type, style and design as may be approved by the Chief of Police. It shall be the responsibility of every owner operating a taxicab to keep such taximeter in perfect condition so that said taximeter will, at all times, correct- ly and accurately indicate the correct charge for the distance traveled and waiting time. The taximeter shall be certified by having a certification stick- er affixed by the State Bureau of Weights and Measures, which has the sole authority to certify such meters. B. Registration Of Fares: Every taxi- meter shall register the charge to the nearest ten cents ($0.10) and be equipped with a flag or other mechani- cal device with the words "For Hire" printed or stamped thereon, and the flag shall be so attached and connected to the mechanism of the taximeter as to cause the mechanism to operate when the flag is in a position other than upright and indicate that the taxicab is not for hire, and which said flag shall, when moved forward or downward, start the operation of the taximeter so that the same will operate in the man- ner defined in this Section. C. Unlawful Display Of Flag: Except on regular long-term contractual ar- rangements or acceptable flat rate charges as described in subsection E of this Section, it is unlawful for any driver of a taxicab while carrying pas- sengers to display the flag or device attached to such taximeter in such a position as to denote that such vehicle is for hire, or is not employed, or to have such flag or other attached device in such a position as to prevent the taximeter from operating. It is unlawful for any driver to throw such flag or other device of a taximeter into a posi- tion which causes the taximeter to record when such vehicle is not actual- ly employed, or fail to throw the flag or other device on such taximeter into a nonrecording position at the termination of each and every service. 183 (Pleasanton 5-99)
