(2)

(b)

If the city manager determines that a denial of a permit renewal or material change in the conditions of the permit is required by public convenience and necessity, or if a holder requests a material change in the conditions of the permit, the city manager shall submit to the city council a written report containing his recommendations for denial or his recommendations on the proposed or requested change, together with supporting findings of fact. Upon action being taken by the city council, the city manager shall issue a denial of permit renewal or renew the permit as directed by the city council. In the case of renewal, he shall incorporate such changes as authorized by the city council.

(c)

If the permit expires at no fault of the holder before a ruling on the approval or denial of the renewal, the holder may continue to operate the commercial vehicles for hire service pending a final decision. The holder shall cease operation of the commercial vehicles for hire service immediately upon denial of the request for renewal by the city council.
