FROM: City Manager
SUBJECT: TAXICAB ORDINANCE
DATE: November 19, 1970
I am having delivered to you herewith a copy of a proposed Taxicab
Ordinance for consideration of passage on first reading, if the
Council so wishes, at next Monday night's Council meeting as men-
tioned at the last workshop meeting.
Please read my draft copy of the ordinance closely and critically,
especially the City Attorney. If improvements can be thought of
or omissions can be caught, then by all means we should make-those
changes before the ordinance is adopted. If you like, please
contact me after you have read the proposed ordinance if you
think changes should be made in it. I am also making copies
available to the taxicab companies for their suggestions and/or
comments.
~he propos~ retains essentially the basic provisions contained
in the City's present ordinance and provides, in addition, for a:
1. More exacting taxicab inspection procedure;
2. Maximum taxicab age of 4 years unless approved by Council;
3. Taxicab driver's permit based on qualifications and other
requirements;
4. Daily records of calls made by each taxicab driver (to be
made available to the City upon request); ~'
5. Tightening up of service requirements, with a provision
for cancellation of certificate by Council.
