SUMMARY STATEMENT:
In accordance with Chapter 5.16 of the Valdez Municipal Code, Valdez Trolley Tours has applied for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (for hire vehicle license) with the City Clerk’s Office. This is a new business and a first-time applicant.
Since Chapter 5.16 was in the process of being amended, the applicant worked with the Chief of Police and City Clerk to make sure that all appropriate licensing requirements would be met and that all materials submitted were correct. Attached is the completed application packet received by the City Clerk’s office on 4/25/2023.
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.
