Every taximeter used in the operation of taxicabs shall be subject to inspection at
anytime by the Public Works Director or his/her representative. Upon discovery of
any inaccuracy of such taximeter, the operator thereof shall remove, or cause to be
removed from service any vehicle equipped with such taximeter until such taximeter
has been repaired and accurately adjusted. Every taximeter shall be inspected, tested
and affixed with a label for accuracy for the current year by "Stanislaus County Weights
and Measures" at the carrier's expense. No such label shall be removed except at the
time a subsequent inspection is made. Every operator shall provide a copy of the taximeter
inspection report to be placed in the operator's file and a copy will be retained
in the vehicle for inspection at any time. The date on which such inspection was made
shall be stamped in a prominent place. Taximeters placed upon taxicabs to replace
broken or faulty meters, shall not be placed into service until they have been approved
by the Public Works Director and the Stanislaus County Sealer of Weights and Measures.
