B. 
Conditional for municipal consent.
(1) 
Any taxicab owner who is the holder of a valid taxicab license issued by the City of Wildwood will be deemed to have obtained the consent of City Council to operate a taxicab within the City of North Wildwood so long as that licensee supplies the City Clerk with:
(a) 
A written request for municipal consent on such forms as may be prescribed by the City Clerk;
(b) 
A copy of a valid City of Wildwood taxicab license; and
(c) 
Proof of the insurance required by N.J.S.A. 48:16-3 or N.J.S.A. 48:16-4, as the case may be.
(2) 
Such consent further shall be conditioned upon the licensee executing the power of attorney required by N.J.S.A. 48:16-5. Any municipal consent granted pursuant to this section automatically shall expire at the same time that the City of Wildwood taxicab license, upon which that municipal consent was based, expires.
C. 
City of North Wildwood municipal consent shall be deemed suspended if the licensee's City of Wildwood taxicab license is suspended by the City of Wildwood, and such consent shall remain suspended so long as the licensee's City of Wildwood taxicab license is suspended. City of North Wildwood municipal consent shall be deemed revoked if the licensee's City of Wildwood taxicab license is revoked and, under such circumstances, may only be reinstated by compliance with the provisions of Subsections A and B above.
Other than by reason of the number of taxicab licenses issued by the City of Wildwood, the number of City of Wildwood taxicab licensees who may obtain municipal consent to operate a taxicab within the City of North Wildwood pursuant to the provisions of this chapter shall not be subject to any numerical limitations.
The issuance of a valid taxicab license by the City of Wildwood shall serve as evidence that all applicable fees have been paid pursuant to ordinances currently in effect in the Five Mile Beach Municipalities.
The holder of any valid City of Wildwood taxicab license who applies for, and is granted, municipal consent pursuant to this chapter shall comply with the provisions of this chapter, the laws of this state and the traffic rules and regulations of the City and the Police Department now existing or hereafter adopted, and a violation thereof may be cause for suspension or revocation of that municipal consent by the City Council upon due notice and hearing by such City Council therefor, in addition to any fines or penalties which may be imposed in the Municipal Court of the City.
Any person, firm, corporation or entity violating any of the provisions of this chapter, upon conviction thereof, shall be fined not more than $1,250 and may be imprisoned in the county jail for a period not exceeding 90 days, or both. A copy of any judgment of conviction entered pursuant to this section shall be transmitted by the Municipal Court Administrator to City Council for consideration by City Council of the institution of proceedings to suspend or revoke, as the case may be, any municipal consent previously granted by City Council pursuant to this chapter.
