TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Greg Tabor, Chief of Police DATE: February 19, 2015 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO SUBJECT: Request for Public Hearing on a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity . RECOMMENDATION: The City Council should schedule a public hearing to determine if a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity should be issued to Destiny Limousines, LLC, DBA Ambassador Transportation Services for Taxi Service. BACKGROUND: City Ordinance 117 article IV governs the application process for taxis and limousines and requires a public hearing to determine if there exists the further need for taxicab and limousine service. DISCUSSION: Mr. Zimmerman is actually making reapplication from Council's denial on a very similar application the police department submitted on September 30, 2013. One distinction in the new application is the applicant does not intend to be permitted for limousines. BUDGETISTAFF IMPACT: The budget impact is minimal. The staff impact will result in the police department taking on additional background investigations and permitting additional taxi drivers, and the City Shop will take on additional taxi inspections.
