§ 20-132.01. County contracts and vouchers.

(a)

Where a taxicab association or company has obtained a County contract through which it is expected to provide service to the public, the business holding the contract shall pay ninety (90%) percent of the driver's fare, if a driver timely submits reimbursement and chooses to receive payment within thirty (30) days of the fare. The remaining ten (10%) percent shall be remitted to the driver within 90 days of submission absent a finding, by the business holding the contract, of error or fraud. If a driver timely submits reimbursement and chooses to receive payment after thirty (30) days of the fare, the business holding the contract shall pay one hundred (100%) percent of the driver's fare.

(b)

Where the rate to be charged for the provision of services to a passenger traveling by voucher is disputed by the business holding the County contract, the holder of the contract may request that the contract administering agency make an independent determination as to the correct rate. Where the contract administering agency determines that the taxicab driver has overcharged on the County contract or voucher, the holder of the contract shall be entitled to reimbursement of the overcharge provided the holder of the contract previously paid the driver the full amount of the original charge.
