Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the resolution of deregulation, any certificate holder may establish, change, modify or amend the schedule of rates to be charged by all vehicles operated by each holder of a certificate of public convenience and necessity under the provisions of this chapter, following posting of such change, modifications or amendments to the taximeter rates in each vehicle in such a place as to be in view of all passengers thirty days prior to such taximeter rates taking effect. All changes, modifications or amendments to the schedule of rates shall be filed with the city clerk and director of public works thirty days prior to such rates taking effect.

A. A resolution of deregulation shall expressly provide such limitations and conditions as the council shall deem appropriate.

B. A resolution of deregulation may be revoked, and taxi rates reestablished by the council, upon its own motion or upon application of a certificate holder.
