(Staff recommends 29 additional permits.) After several people spoke the following motion was made. Transcript of motion and discussion follows. MOTION. Shipman: Well, to get this thing moving, I'll make a motion, because I'm concerned about these special transit service individuals and the fact that they're not getting to their place of employment on time. I think that that merits an increase in the permits... but I would suggest that it be twelve which with the three vans would bring it up to fifteen and that also that any subsequent request for permits or anything related to the taxicab industry go to the urban transportation commission prior to being placed on the City Council Agenda...and that's the motion. Mayor: Is there a second to that motion? Urdy: Mayor: Mr. Mayor I will second it if you will except a friendly amemdment. Maybe this is part of the discussion You go ahead Urdy: We....a few months ago we had a moratorium..we set a moratorium to eliminate a condition that apparently is right back with us again...that is we have 420 permits and 229 vehicles on the streets... and I think we need to do something with that.. there is a whole question that I think we're going to have to address about what we're going to do with the demand for service files which was brought up before us today. And I think we are going to have to do it with that context of somehow ...of this thing the way we were dealing with it before....on redistribution. The amendment that I want to offer is that is that if we come back.. I know that one of the complaints of the companies is that they didn't have an opportunity to .......how do I want to put that... with reference to the service demand question...with reference to the existing distribution of permits...and I don't know exactly what I want to propose that way when we come back..but I think again we may want to take a look at a moratorium beyond that point. If we can find a way to deal with that problem over distribution of permits based on some kind of demand of service question...I want to ask staff to try to look at that within the next week..and come back with that..because I think there still is ....I know there are some companies out there that are using all of their permits and asking for more...there are the companies that are not using all of their permits but its not just a...yeah we had that problem when we did the transfer with Yellow's franchise just a week ago cause they had about twice as many permits as there are vehicles out there.....but that was not the question as far as franchises are concerned.... I would like to look at that again and ask staff Council Memo 9 5/22/86. Mayor: Urdy: FRIENDLY AMENDMENT to give us whatever information they have relative to all of the companies and I know again there's a concern of a part of all of the companies about not having time to address this question... I would ask them also to address the question in terms of what they see......let me put it this way..back up just a little bit because one time I sorta proposed this one time and I never did follow up on it...and that is that doing that...I think the mistake we made during that last moratorium is that we did not allow any of the companies an opportunity to change the things-------and I think there is always the qestion of changing the number of permits that there is merit for. I think we will always have to address that, and we sorta left off in a bind so that even if they have the potential to grow they could not because we sorta of locked them in where they were and didn't allow them to grow during that period, and sorta left them free to grow and I don't think we could do that if we go to the moratorium....but I also think we need to look at that in the context of the---rate increasewhat that would do to the situation as it exists---I don't know whether the potential there is to decrease the number ofor to increase the revenue....I'm not sure what's going to happen there---but hopefully we will look at that whole issue and try to arrive at some kind of a rational distribution of the permits with ----with some mechanism for confidense to grow if they in fact need to grow. What are you trying to add....what do you want to add to the motion? I guess what I want to add to the motion, is that we consider. not only a rate increase but that we consider how to deal with the question of service demand. Shipman: That is a good amendment..in fact that is the whole crux of the matter...couldn't agree more. Mayor: ........ So you want the staff to look into that and bring back a report back to us about how to look at it. The whole issue is service demand and rate Urdy: And we look to trying to address that issue and perhaps beyond that impose a moratorium. That's it I think. Mayor: Mr. Carl-Mitchell.... Shipman: Dr., would you like to put a time on that so we could be certain when we'll have this information. Urdy: I was asking for a couple of weeks....I don't know if all of this can be addressed in that short a time frame but I think most of is probably..... Council Memo 10 5/22/86 Brecher: If you're thinking of and speaking of rate increase .. us coming up with a rate for you...two weeks would not be enough time ....I would think it would take four to six weeks for us to get a rate increase ....we're going to have to get our financial people..internal audit and everybody else. The work we're doing right now in the middle of budget and everything ..trying to do all that on top of it is going to be rather difficult thing to accomplish in two weeks, so I would see it taking a while. Rose: I wouldn't think we would want you to design the rate, I think we would want you to do a comparision study to find out how our rates shape up with some of the other similar metropolitan areas because I think that may give the Council an opportunity to say that it appears that we should look at rates..I mean conceptually I agree with what the Mayor said earlier..I have a difficult time seeing how the industry couldn't be hurting if it hasn't had any rate increase in eight years, but I also agree with what you said though and that the franchise companies should bring rate package forward based on their cost and go through the process so I would think it would be more of a rate comparison study and a justification study perhaps than a rate desire. Brecher: Okay, we can make Mayor: Is that what you had in mind Mr. Urdy? Urdy: What I was trying to get in ...maybe you need to address as well, that you could look at what a rate increase might have to do with all of this business about the service, addressing the service level question. You see what I'm trying to get at? I'm not sure I'm getting it all together right. Brecher: No sir, but I'd be willing to meet with you later. Urdy: To finally get a fix on the whole business of what the service demand is what a rate increase might do to that ...would it include or leave it about where it is so that in trying to address an overall sérvice demand question we can try to give some marginal:-----in the event that we change the rates in the next six to eight weeks or whatever timeBrecher: Okay, we'll do that and then we'll also talk in regards to reallocation of permits, various methods that we---most of this has already been researched and we'll certainly bring it all back and I think within two weeks we can have that. : Council Memo 11 Mayor: All right I think the City Attorney has a question 5/22/86 Jonathan Davis: To understand the motion, the item on the Agenda is to grant additional permits, as I understand your motion it also includes a proposal to amend the Taxicab ordinance... To send requests for additional permits to the Urban Transportation Commission in the future. Shipman: That's correct. All they have to do is suggest that it be the Taxicab ordinance instead of the Urban Transporation Commission's ordinance. They're charged. So they would be charged with the review of the taxicab permits. Jonathan Davis:... So until that charge is amended, the applications will not go through the Commission, but will go through... Shipman: That's correct..I'm concerned that the special transit service client's, that need something in the near future and that will take a much more longer process... ... Mayor: Okay, Mr. Carl-Mitchell, I think you wanted to: Carl-Mitchell: Just one addition, as an amendment is that the...I think it's in the staff back-up that all permits be designated for STS service...That was a contention upon maintaining the contractthe increase is granted on the basis of their need for the STS service. Mayor: Jerry Harris: Mayor: Jerry Harris: Mayor: Okay..right Mayor, as the applicant, may I ask a question? Yes Really two question. I want to make sure I understand the motion. It's for a total of twelve permits which are conditioned upon maintaining the Capital Metro contract and we're not being awarded any permits under the ordinance for increased demand in service. That's the first question I have. And secondly, that usually we go through the procedure of having an applicant present their case opposition and applicants get a chance to summarize...I just have a question..is that not the procedure that we're going to follow today. All right well you can certainly summarize. Council Memo Jerry Harris: Mayor: 12 5/22/86 I would just like to say two very short things, Mayor, not to expend anymore of your valuable time. Number one is as far as the STS contract, I would like to point out that the van...we have two vans, one is a back-up van so our two vans do not serve the same purpose and cannot handle the same number of passangers per day as the taxicab; and I'd just like to point that out in case there is any chance that we could in concert with the staff recommendation have our fifteen cabs conditioned on maintaining the Capital Metro contract toservice that particular population. We do have 120 drivers who are...130 drivers who are taking our sensitivity in first aid course to help us along with that contract so I would request that in light of the fact that vans do not do same thing as taxicabs perhaps that be the main fifteen. And on the second point very briefly is that every time we come up for a permit we get a different stand. The City Council just went through and adopted the last ordinance that's been talked to about the staff; we went back and prepared an application; I think we've met the standards regarding service demand and our capacity to serve our public and I would just ask the Council to give some consideration to finally decide what a taxicab operator has to do and what kind of application they have to file in order to get permits based on service demand; we followed diligently the Council's ordinance that wasn't adopted several months ago and after debate over Yellow Cab and debate over our permit and there is an element that I would like to say is unfair about that and we go back and every time we go back and you know there is going to be a new standard down the line; we would like to cooperate with a rate increase, a light meter or anything else that's a common interest in the taxicab industry. It's taking longer to get any of those things accomplished and if there is any way, the staff has recommended fourteen for service demand; we think we can justify 23; if there is anyway that we could get something...seven...we followed the ordinance; we met the demands, the standards; the staff recommending fourteen; I don't think it would hurt us to have some number of cabs to help us with our demand of service since we met the standards set forth in the ordinance; and I think we'd be glad to answer any questions that you might have. All right..are there any questions? Okay, thank you Mr. Harris. Is there further discussion? We've already heard from everbody. Unless somebody has a question. No not a question from the audience..a question from the Council...is there further discussion of the motion? Okay is there opposition to the motion? All in favor say "aye" Councilmembers: "Aye" Opposed: None Motion Clarified: 12 permits approved; further requests are to go to Urban Transportation Commission prior to hearing by Council; come back with reference to service demand question in two weeks. i Council Memo RECESS: 13 Council recessed its meeting from 5:50 to 6:25 p.m. ARCHERY RANGES & FACILITIES 5/22/86 The Council, on Councilmember Rose's motion, Councilmember Carl-Mitchell's second, waived the requirement for three readings and finally passed an ordinance amending Ordinance 851121-I regulating archery ranges and facilities where firearms are discharged.
