(PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE CITY CODE REGARDING TAXICABS) The Mayor requested Councilwoman Mallea address this item on the Agenda. Councilwoman Mallea explained that there might be some intent on the part of the City to consider an ongoing approval for the personnel involved in the taxicab business. No action was needed at this time, but perhaps the Council could state their intention in pursuing this possible ordinance change. Councilman Raymond stated that he appreciated having this particular issue brought before the Council. If the City has any regulation as to who should or should not be in the taxicab business, it would probably be because of the safety of the citizens for public transporation. from a recent experience, it was found that the City really has little control over who might work for a cab company. Perhaps a motion to proceed to develop guidelines for an ordinance would be appropriate at this time. MOVED by Raymond, SECONDED by Mallea that the City proceed to develop guidelines for an ordinance to amend the present City Code regarding taxicabs to allow the City more control.
