Subject
Elimination of the Taxicab Commission
Chief,
Tiny Washington has worked hard for several years now trying to get all the
positions on the Taxicab Commission filled. We have constantly had troubles
having enough members in attendance to even have a meeting. Now, all but four
members have resigned from the Commission and we do not have enough members to
have a quorum. The last meeting we had was in January 2009. The idea has
surfaced to get Council to consider abolishing the Commission. This was
discussed with the City Attorney's Office and Finance - Occupational Tax . We
have in place, City Staff and appeal processes that already address most of the
issues that the Commission has considered over the years. It was suggested
that the City Manager, Issiah Hugley, be consulted and see if it would be
possible to coordinate a work-session meeting with Council to address this
issue. I have attached a brief summary of the problem with my ideas on some
possible alternatives to having a commission in place.
