PUBLIC HEARING - re Taxicab Owner's Permit Application by James Edward/Willie Doris Fennell (T-l00-500) The hour of 7:00 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Kirkpatrick opened the public hearing re taxicab owner's permit application by James Edward/- Willie Doris Fennell. The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk: Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing The City Clerk advised that four letters of support have been received this evening and Council Members were given copies of the letters. City Attorney Hays advised that this hearing for public convenience and necessity deals with whether or not there is a public transporta- tion need in the community for two additional taxi cabs. He noted that rates are not a factor in this deliberation since rates have been deregulated by the City. Nancee Brezina, 4078 Oasis Road, opposed the establishment of another cab company. She said her cab company, Yellow Cab, has four cars and the traffic does not warrant those four. Ms. Brezina felt the service is adequate and another company would only cause problems for both companies. In response to an inquiry from Council Member Gard, Ms. Brezina stated that they have two cabs operating per shift and one driver on call at all times. She contended that the average wait is about l5 minutes. Bob Miller, 62l South Street, President of the Redding Area Indepen- dent Taxicab Operators, said the City of Redding public transportation has changed greatly over the last ten years. He said services such as "The Ride", services for senior citizens, etc. have eroded the passen- ger base. Mr. Miller contended the long wait is due to the large geographic area of the City, and pointed out that the cost of operat- ing is extremely high. He said, if the business were there, the present company could meet the need. Mr. Walt Richardson, 9276 Placer, said he has known the Fennell's since they moved to Redding and would like to see them go into busi- ness. He felt competition is good for the consumer. Roger Embran, San Jose, said he had to use Yellow Cab today from the Airport and had to wait one hour for them to respond. He was sure another cab service would improve the service to the public. J. E. Fennell, 9225 Placer Road, said that America was built on competi-tion, and presently this does not exist for cab service in the City of Redding. He said the permits they are applying for will bring out competition and better service. Mr. Fennell noted that the population has grown significantly since London Cab was in business in l982. Mr. Fennell submitted four letters of support from Redding business people and emphasized that the long wait continues for taxi service with the present company. He said many people may attempt to drive when they have had too much to drink rather than wait an hour or more for a taxi. Mr. Fennell pointed out that the City of Red Bluff has four cab companies with a population of l0,000 to l2,000 and felt the present company should be running all four cabs. He felt that Redding could handle two cab companies. MOTION: Made by Council Member Demsher, seconded by Council Member Fulton that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes Mayor Kirkpatrick commented that it is Council's job to see that its citizens have the transportation they need available to them. Council Member Demsher pointed out that because of the geographic size of our city, there will be some wait involved. He felt a city this size could support six cabs. MOTION: Made by Council Member Demsher, seconded by Council Member Gard that the public convenience and necessity requires that a permit be issued to James Edward/Willie Doris Fennell, dba ABC Cab Company, to operate two taxi cabs in the City of Redding subject to meeting all applicable Code requirements.
