SUMMARY STATEMENT:

In accordance with Chapter 5.16 of the Valdez Municipal Code, Valdez Trolley Tours (Robe River LLC) has applied for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (for hire vehicle license) with the City Clerk’s Office. This is a renewal application. 

Attached is the completed application packet received by the City Clerk’s office. Chauffer’s licenses for drivers had not been processed at the time of application, but the Police Department has confirmed issuance.  

The company may add or remove vehicles and drivers to their Certificate throughout the year by providing proper required documentation to the City Clerk’s office, to include vehicle permits/inspections/insurance and copies of chauffeur’s licenses. There is no cost to add vehicles or drivers and a new paper certificate is issued each time a change is made. Additions do not change the expiration date of the Certificate.
