COUNCIL MEMORANDUM <br /> #95-07 <br /> February 21, 1995 <br /> TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members <br /> '�:� <br /> FROM: James C. Baco� 7r., City Manager <br /> `� <br /> RE: Taxi Application Public Hearing <br /> A hearing to consider a application for taxi license was conducted February 8, 1995. A <br /> copy of the hearing transcript is attached. I have reviewed the application and information <br /> presented in the hearing. Based on a review of that information, I recommend that the Decatur <br /> City Council approve a t�i license for Pride Midwest Services, Inc. to operate as Decatur Yellow <br /> Checker Cab. <br /> My review of the information includes the determination that Decatur Pride is currently <br /> the only licensed cab company operating in Decatur, that it has increased the number of units <br /> operating in the city and continues to have difficulty meeting demand. I find further that Decatur <br /> Yellow Checker Cab has been approved by the Illinois Secretary of State and that the applicant <br /> considers that additional service will result from approving the application because of the <br /> importance of name recognition in the taxi cab industry. No one spoke in opposition to the <br /> request and no one filed written comments objecting to it. Finally, the applicant agreed to have all <br /> vehicles operating under this application in compliance with the provisions of Chapter 60. <br /> Therefore, I find that the applicant has met the requirements as outlined in Chapter 60 of the <br /> Decatur City Code and recommend that the license be granted. <br /> Attachment <br />
