1 MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: CITY COUNCIL STEVEN N. ANNIBALI, CHIEF OF POLICE SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF APPLICATION FOR CERTIFICATE OF PUBLIC CONVENIENCE AND NECESSITY DATE: JULY 8, 2014 RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended, after conducting a public hearing and making any necessary modifications, the City Council adopt the Resolution granting a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity to Central Coast Taxi for the operation of a taxicab service within the City limits, contingent upon full and total compliance with all conditions and requirements in Chapter 5.72 "Taxicabs" of the Arroyo Grande Municipal Code. IMPACT TO FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES: The recommended action will have no financial impact on the City and minimal impact on staffing related to vehicle inspection(s) and processing taxi driver permits. BACKGROUND: Currently, there is one taxicab company conducting business within the City with a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity. The company name is "234-TAXI", L.L.C. (three taxicabs). The City has received a proposal from Sammy Orr, owner of Central Coast Taxi, requesting a new Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity to operate a taxicab company within the City limits of Arroyo Grande. City of Arroyo Grande Municipal Code, Title 5, Chapter 5.72 states: D. Determination--Criteria. In determining whether the public convenience and necessity require the taxicab service for which the application is made, the council shall investigate and consider: 1. The demand of the public for additional taxicab service; 2. The adequacy of the existing taxicab service; 3. The financial responsibility and experience of the applicant; Item 9.a. - Page 1

The number, make and type of the equipment and the color scheme to be used; and 5. The effect which additional taxicab service may have on traffic congestion and parking and whether such service will result in a greater hazard to the public. ANALYSIS OF ISSUES: At the present time, Sammy Orr has set aside $10, in cash to ensure his taxicab service will not only be financially stable at start-up, but will be able to deal with any unforeseen contingencies. Sammy Orr has provisionally located his business and dispatch point at 226 Blume Street #D, Nipomo, CA and he is proposing to commence operations with one taxicab serving the South County. As business increases, the owner intends to purchase additional vehicles and expand his service in San Luis Obispo County. The vehicle will be a 2006 Scion XB, 4-door, with a seating capacity of five and a luggage capacity of 21.2 cubic feet and operates at an estimated MPG. The vehicle will be light green in color with black lettering. The company's name and telephone number (Central Coast Taxi, ) will appear on both front doors. In addition, the words Central Coast Taxi will appear on a lighted, roof mounted sign. The company's rate schedule, which is comparable to the existing taxi company operating in the City, will be as follows: Fare for Pick-Up: Fare per Mile: Wait Time per/hour Surcharge (2:30 am - 6:00 am) Credit Card Use: Minimum Charge: $3.00 $3.50 $25.00 None None None Should the Council approve Sammy Orr's application, he will be required to comply with the following conditions: 1. Submit vehicles for inspection by the Police Department. 2. Supply evidence of the required insurance. 3. Obtain a City business license. Item 9.a. - Page 2

3 CITY COUNCIL CONSIDERATION OF APPLICATION FOR CERTIFICATE OF PUBLIC CONVENIENCE AND NECESSITY JULY 8, 2014 PAGE 3 4. Obtain taxi driver permits from the Police Department for all drivers prior to the Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity being issued to commence operations. ALTERNATIVES: The following alternatives are provided for the Council's consideration: Recommended Alternative: It is recommended that the City Council determine there is a public need for an additional taxicab service in Arroyo Grande and adopt the Resolution; - Do not approve staff's recommendation and find that there is no public need for an additional taxicab service in Arroyo Grande and do not adopt the Resolution; or - Provide direction to staff. ADVANTAGES: There is only one taxicab service operating three taxicabs in Arroyo Grande and the proposed addition of a second service would provide additional convenience to the residents and visitors of Arroyo Grande. Additionally, the lower fuel costs incured by utilizing a fuel efficient taxi cab(s) may translate into lower fare rates for customers. DISADVANTAGES: None identified. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: This project is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3). PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND COMMENTS: The public impacted by the proposal is the Arroyo Grande Police Department's service population. The public has been made aware of the proposal before Council by the publication of a public hearing notice in the Tribune on Friday, June 27, 2014 and by a posting of the Agenda in the front of City Hall and on the City's website on Thursday, July 3, No public input has been received to date.

D Nipomo, CA (805) May22, 2014 Kelly Wetmore, I recently purchased Central Coast Taxi in April The original owner of Central Coast Taxi was only permitted in the City of Pismo Beach. I would like to expand my business and I would like to be able to pick-up customers in the City of Arroyo Grande. I've been a taxi driver on the Central Coast for 10 years. I have a good reputation and a clean record without any incidents. Currently, my taxi company includes one taxi cab. My goal is to ~ow my business and add additional taxi cabs in the future. I have enclosed a photo of my cab so you can see the color and insignia that I am using, also all the pertinent vehicle information. My taxi cab seats five people. My rates are as follows: $3.00 pick-up fee, $3.50 per mile and $25.00 wait time. Once the City of Arroyo Grande grants a certificate of public convenience and necessity to Central Coast Taxi, I will go through the process of obtaining my personal taxi permit for Arroyo Grande. Any other drivers working for me will also apply for taxi driver permits in Arroyo Grande. Could you please put Central Coast Taxi on the Arroyo Grande City Council meeting agenda so I may apply to offer taxi service the City of Arroyo Grande. I look forward to the opportunity to work in the City of Arroyo Grande. Michael Lady, former mayor of Arroyo Grande, can offer a personal and professional recommendation for me.
