In promulgating the taxicab code, the commission shall seek, to the extent reasonably practical, to preserve within the code provisions similar to those contained in chapter 8.98 of the city's municipal ordinance and chapter 806 of the county ordinances, both relating to taxicab issues such as licensing, regulation, inspection, and enforcement while avoiding unnecessary overlaps or inconsistencies between the ordinances. The commission shall present a draft of its districtwide taxicab code at public hearings, one of which will be held in the city and another in the county, following prior public notice of same. Notice of the public hearing shall be given by publication at least twice, the first publication to be not more than thirty days and the second publication to be not more than ten days prior to each hearing in a newspaper of general circulation in the city and county. The commission shall adopt its taxicab code no later than one hundred eighty days after the appointment of the initial commission members. The commission shall have the power to amend the taxicab code from time to time following the initial adoption without the requirement of public notice or hearings.
