It was the consensus of Council that the City Attorney should research the matter and establish criteria regarding taxi cab operations and limousine service operations. Such information should be made available to the appli- cant and to Redding Yellow Cab, and be brought before Council in the form of an ordinance, inasmuch as our present Code is silent re limousine service.

She noted that it is entirely different from cab service. Mrs. Webb stated that she has a limousine and has been asked to provide such service. She mentioned Merle Haggard and others. She feels that Redding is not quite big enough to support such an endeavor, and also referred to the limousine at the airport which furnishes transportation.

They requested that the bid and the accompanying bond be withdrawn. The bid documents and supporting information pertinent to the bid and error have been reviewed carefully by the City's consulting engineers and the Project Coordinator, and it is the joint conclusion of the afore- said persons, as well as the City Attorney, that an honest error was made in the process of filling out the bid, and absolutely no evidence has been turned up that would support any contrary conclusion. It is therefore the joint recommendation of City Attorney Murphy, Harlan Moyer, CH2M Hill, and Project Coordinator Mathis that Council relieve C.

I) 3 276 BUSINESS FROM THE FLOOR Vi Klaseen appeared before Council and asked what was being projected in the way of bicycle paths. Mrs. Klaseen acknowledged that the City of Redding cannot do much in the way of bus transportation but said she hopes that better pedestrian or bike paths are being planned. She mentioned that provisions for pedestrian and bike paths have been made in newly developed \�Q areas but feels more progress should be made in areas already developed. Councilman Demsher noted that one of the problems is that the area to which people would ride bikes is downtown, and to designate bike paths in that area would require elimination of some on -street parking. The effect of such parking elimination is something that would have to be considered carefully. Public Works Director Arness said that bicycle paths will be considered in the preparation of the 1978-79 budget.
