29 BY-LAW COMMITTEE MINUTES May 22, A. APPROVAL OF AGENDA BL That the Agenda for the By-Law Committee Meeting dated May 22, 1998, be approved, as printed and circulated. B. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST - nil C. HEARING C 1. Hearing MR. ZIA-UR BEHAN KHOKHAR REMOVAL FROM TAXI CAB PLATE OWNERS PRIORITY LIST (File G99). Pursuant to the provisions of Licensing By-law 15-91, as amended, a hearing was conducted by the By-law Committee, commencing on Monday, May 4, 1998 and adjourned for continuation on Friday, May 22, 1998 at 9:00 a.m., in the Council Chambers to consider the recommendation of the Licence Issuer to remove the applicant s name from the Taxi Cab Plate Owners Priority List. The hearing was conducted in accordance with the provisions of the Statutory Powers Procedure Act. Section 18(3) of Licensing By-law 15-91, as amended, provides that, contained in these minutes, there be a summary of the relevant evidence and arguments presented, setting out the finding of fact and recommendations made by the By-law Committee and setting out the reasons for those recommendations. Paul Dray, Prosecutor, presented the case on behalf of the Licence Issuer (The Corporation of the City of Brampton). Mr. Marvin Talsky, solicitor, presented the case on behalf of the applicant, Mr. Zia-Ur Behan Khokhar. The By-law Committee heard evidence that Mr. Khokhar had his Ontario Driver s License suspended from March 10, 1997 for a period of one year as a result of a criminal conviction for impaired driving. The By-law Committee heard that, during that time, Mr. Khokhar did not drive a taxicab nor was he entitled to drive a taxicab, as a result of the suspension. The By-law Committee finds that while the by-law requires that a person shall remain on the priority list so long as they meet all the criteria, the by-law does not require automatic removal for failure to meet the criteria. Such removal is to be determined by Council, following a hearing before this Committee pursuant to the provisions of the by-law. The By-law Committee finds that Mr. Khokhar failed to continuously meet all the criteria to remain on the priority list. The suspension of Mr. Khokhar s Ontario driver s license for one year automatically prevented him from being licensed as a driver and from driving a taxicab for at least that 12 month period. In the circumstances of this case, it is not necessary to make any finding with respect to whether Mr. Khokhar was actually driving a taxicab in Brampton at other times during the past several years. BL That Mr. Zia-Ur Behan Khokhar, 2770 Windwood Drive, Apt. 607 in Mississauga, be removed from the City of Brampton Taxi Cab Plate Owners Priority List.
