3. The aforesaid Certificates of Public Convenience and Necessity are issued on the following
conditions:
a. The Certificates are not transferable without the prior consent of the Town

or revoked by the Town Council.

approved by the Town in advance so that there will be no conflict between the colors
used by different companies.
i. All personal property taxes, business license taxes, and monies of any kind due
and owing to the Town of Pulaski, Virginia must be paid in full when due. Any such
taxes or monies which are currently past due must be paid in full prior to the issuance
of these certificates, unless otherwise agreed by the Town.
j. Federal, state and local laws must be complied with at all times while the
certificates are in effect.
k. Any certificate will be void if the operator ceases or refuses to furnish service
to the public during the year.
4. Failure of a certificate holder to abide by the above conditions will be ground for suspension or

Convenience and Necessity for any good cause shown. The Council will be the sole determiner of
what constitutes good cause.
