NOTARY � A'j 1/21/2014 3876-A Rochester Circle Springdale, AR 72764 Dear Council Members: My name is Cole Stocking. I'm in the process of pursuing my dream as a small business owner. The great thing about this area of the state and country is that it is filled with entrepreneurial minds just like mine. People who love local small business and have a passion for developing a city of creative ideas. My new adventure is called Piggy Back. It is an electric, quick trip, free taxi service created to meet the needs of local patrons, looking for a quick reliable form of transportation to restaurants, theatres, bars, work, or sporting events. My cars will have doors and heat to provide service during inclement weather. My vision for the company is too not only become the Green go -to choice of short transportation but to become a top player in generating revenues for local business owners. The main portion of revenues will come through advertising. I will run ads on scrolling tablets inside the vehicle, offering deals, specials, and Piggy Back membership cards for local businesses. I'm currently an EMBA student at the University of Arkansas, pursuing my Masters in Business from the Walton College. I graduate in May 2014. I have no bad debt and low -risk credit. My company will have nearly $60,000 in assets; 4 six -person electrical carts and computer hardware. The insurance quotes are attached. I didn't provide current active insurance. I'm not going to make the investment in the business before I have approval from the City of Fayetteville. I ask for your approval of this creative idea. My plan is to not only become one of Fayetteville's best young entrepreneurs and boost the revenues of other local companies, but to create innovation in the City of Fayetteville. I want people to know that this is where you can go to pursue your inventive business dreams. Thank you for your consideration.

Mr. Stocking can register the vehicle with the Certificate of Origin with the other require documents at the revenue office. He can apply for the "For Hire" at that time. The low speed vehicle are for roads with the same speed as the vehicle will go. From the pictures I pulled off the internet on a GEM low speed vehicle it has all the require equipment to be on the road. Mr. Stocking told me his GEM vehicle will also have doors on them when we talked. When Mr. Stocking decide which GEM vehicle he will buy, he can e-mail me the certificate of origin and a picture of the GEM to make sure we can title it. For Hire Taxi Cabs are required to have a $50,000 bond from an insurance company licensed to do business in Arkansas. This along with all normal required documents and fees to register. I hope this answers your questions.
