Item No. 19 <br />Memorandum <br />TO: Mayor & City Council <br />Grayson Path, City Manager <br />FROM: Stephanie H. Harris, City Attorney <br />SUBJECT: VEHICLES FOR HIRE ORDINANCE <br />BACKGROUND: Council has been granting licenses to taxicab and shuttle services for years via <br />individual ordinance in conformance with Charter Section 124; however, the Council has never <br />adopted an ordinance which provides for a penalty for failure to obtain such a license. <br />STATUS OF ISSUE: This ordinance provides a definition for vehicles for hire and provides for a <br />penalty for operating a vehicle for hire service without a license. In addition it sets for the <br />application requirements. This will not affect our practice of granting these licenses, the provisions <br />in such licenses, or the requirements for obtaining a license. It will make it easier for businesses <br />to find the requirements, and it is similar to our ordinance for granting solid waste permits, which <br />permits are also authorized by Charter Section 124 and are granted by ordinance. <br />IL� �WA <br />RECOMMENDATION: Approve the Ordinance Adopting Chapter 33, "Vehicles for Hire." <br />
