G1. CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING REGULATIONS AND PERMIT
REOUIRF. M~.NTS FOR TAXICAB SF. RVICE Staff report presented by Duane Baker, Assistant to the City
Manager. (1206-06 TRANSPORT)
Councilmember Buquet stated he felt $1,000,000.00 was a little low for the liability amount and felt it should
remain as is.
Mayor Stout opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing the City Council were:
Robert Brady, Classic Cab Company, felt the proposed exemptions would not be a good idea for the City.
He felt each driver should have their own permit to drive in Rancho Cucamonga.
Duane Baker, Assistant to the City Manager, added that in the fee Resolution the City Council just approved it
would cost each driver $124.00 to get theit own permit to drive a cab in Rancho Cucamonga. He stated it was less
expensive to renew because you would not have to do the background checks, fingerprints and photographs a second
time.
Councilmember Wright asked if other cities' regulations where cab companies are licensed are as restrictive as
Rancho Cucamonga's as it relates to individual drivers.
Duane Baker, Assistant to the City Manager, stated as far as he knew other cities had the background checks and
police checks on the drivers, but did not know if they did exactly as Rancho Cucamonga does.
Gene Stalings, President of Yellow Cab Company and a resident of the City, stated he did not agree with
Mr. Brady's comments. He also mentioned that he had distributed additional information for Duane Baker
to review which had not been shared with the City Council. He felt the liability insta'ance was very high
and .would probably cost him about $8,000.00 per year, per driver and asked that the Council lower the
amount to $1,000, 000.00 as Duane Baker had suggested.
There being no further response, the public hearing was closed.
James Markman, City Attorney, stated he disagreed with Mr. Stalings' comments on the anti-trust exposure
information given to Duane Baker. He continued to comment on this matter. He stated what this Ordinance is
trying to do is protect the public, so that the cab drivers are checked out before they can drive in Rancho Cucamonga.

Councilmember Wright stated she felt if the goal of the City is to protect the residents by adopting this Ordinance,
she stated she felt uncomfortable adopting something where in part Rancho Cucamonga would be relying on what
other cities have done to check the driven. She wanted to know that they are checked out in the same ways in other
cities that Rancho Cucamonga would be doing this. She asked if there was a way to assure this.
James Markman, City Attorney, felt the City Council should go ahead with this and for Dueme Baker to do some
more checking with other cities and possibly modify this Ordinance ff needed at a latex date. He stated he felt this
Ordinance would be very similar to other cities.
Council member Wright asked that the information come back at the second reading of this Ordinance.
Councilmember Buquet felt the higher insurance rate was still necessary in order to protect the City.
Councilmember Alexander stated he was not comfortable going forward with the Ordinance might because of all the
questions raised.
Councilmember Willlares stated she is also concerned with the exemption section of the Ordinance.
The Council concurred that they wanted to make sure other cities are as thorough and restrictive as Rancho
Cucamonga is regarding the drivers.
