Of the 46 applications received, we are recommending City Council approval of nineteen(19) applications. These 19 licenses include the seven(7) licenses declared available by the City Council this past summer, eight(8) licenses voluntarily relinquished by other license holders, and a request for four(4) additional or"new"licenses. We aze asking the City Council to approve the additional licenses because it would be difficult to eliminate 4 of the 19 recommended applications based on the criteria contained in Legislative Code Chapter 376, paragraphs 08 through 10. All 19 are excellent applications and vehicles. If our recommendation is approved by the City Council,the new total license cap would be one- hundred twenty-four(124) licenses. All of these should be active, and LIEP will continue to monitor trip sheets to verify activity. Selecting the best applications is a difficult, and time consuming process. LIEP staff carefully evaluated each submittal against the criteria specified in Chapter 376. We have attached a chart showing how each applicant was evaluated and where eliminations were made. We have not discussed our evaluation process, nor the details of the applications received, with the Business Review Council or any other group. The salient criteria is the condition and age of the vehicles proposed to be licensed as determined by inspection by the City's Equipment Services Garage. We stand ready to answer your questions about the process and our recommendations. Recommendations for taxicab license approvals are as follows: ■ Michael Breckman, Yellow Cab-(1 license) ■ Gary Tounier, Green& White-(7licenses) ■ Gholam Shahrokhi, Minnesota Ta�ci-(2 licenses) ■ Robert Stone, RS Transportation-(7 licenses) ■ Pat Burket-Jones, City Wide Taxi-(2licenses) �` � ��- �.�o�- As a final note, we expect that at least four more licenses will become available in the near future. We will therefore, once again, announce a deadline for accepting applications for those four licenses and any others that become available in the interim through our regular enforcement efforts. T'he four licenses in question are currently in litigation and we have no way of knowing for sure when they will become available. Our best estimate is sometime before the end of November, 1996. Again, Please let us know of any questions or concerns. I am asking that this matter be placed on the City Council agenda for September 25, 1996, but you should check the City Council agenda to make sure that the date is confirmed. The agenda for the 25`''will be published on September 18`h. c: Mayor Norm Coleman City Councilmembers Ginger Palmer,Assistant City Attorney Business Review Council Members LIEP Staff �G-i�op' Z 0 � z I j � � o � � w H � ' o ; � o � � ' I, ° o a � I � � ° a � � � � � � � � � � �� a = � o0 � w i o u; E� Ei I �n � � a � � � � O _ w a � � � � � � � � � � � � � ° � � � � � � � � � � � � � � WWWW wwWWw WW; � Z [..� �.a ..a a a a ,..a a a a ..a�.�; w o w� � o_ o Z A c. �a �¢ �¢ �¢ �¢ �¢ �¢ �¢ �¢ a I¢I Q A w W c� � c� c� c� � � � � t� c.� W � � � �.. �., � � �.., ,-, � �... � � W W ..a a ..a �...a ,..a a ...� ..a ,..a ...� ,..a J i-- �" i-- E-� � � aaaa aaaaa, aa o � Q z ¢� d �¢ �'a ¢ `�¢ �'¢ �'¢ �'¢ �¢ �I � zZz w �'' V HHF- H HHFHH FH W � � � 0000 00000 00 � w w � o a zzzz zzzzz zlz wz � z a � A i Q � � � z a aW '� � ZZZ ° w ° oM � �; ZZZZ � � a W I ' J J J J a � �� i UV V V � � °.�° Q � � � � � � � � � � �'' ww � w » > � `�" � UUVU � � �d z I � �. � �.

OFFICE OF LICENSE,INSPECTIONS AND �� ^ � � " � ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECT[ON Robert Kessler,Direc�or CITY OF SAINT PAUL LOWRYPROFESS/ONAL BU/LDING Telephone:6l2-266-9090 Norm Coleman,Mayor Suite 300 Facsimile: 6/2-266-9099 350 S�.Peter Street 612-266-9124 Saint Paul,Minnesota 55102-IS10 � September 11, 1996 To: Taxicab License Applicants and License Holders Fr: Robert Kessler, LIEP Director �� Troy Gilbertson, License Enforcement Auditor(part time Taxicab Inspector) Re: Recommendations For New Licenses The Office of LIEP received forty six (46)taxicab license applications in response to our July 31, 1996, solicitation. Of the 46 applications received, we are recommending City Council approval of nineteen(19) applications. These 191icenses include the seven(7) licenses declared available by the City Council this past summer, eight(8) licenses voluntarily relinquished by other license holders, and a request for four(4) additional or"new"licenses. We aze asking the City Council to approve the additional licenses because it would be difficult to eliminate 4 of the 19 recommended applications based on the criteria contained in Legislative Code Chapter 376, paragraphs 08 through 10. All 19 are excellent applications and vehicles. If our recommendation is approved by the City Council,the new total license cap would be one- hundred twenty-four(124) licenses. All of these should be active, and LIEP will continue to monitor trip sheets to verify activity. Selecting the best applications is a difficult, and time consuming process. LIEP staff cazefully evaluated each submittal against the criteria specified in Chapter 376. We have attached a chart showing how each applicant was evaluated and where eliminations were made. We have not discussed our evaluation process, nor the details of the applications received,with the Business Review Council or any other group. The salient criteria is the condition and age of the vehicles proposed to be licensed as determined by inspection by the City's Equipment Services Gazage. We stand ready to answer your questions about the process and our recommendations. Recommendations for taxicab license approvals are as follows: ■ Michael Breckman, Yellow Cab-(1 license) ■ Gary Tounier, Green& White-(7licenses) ■ Gholam Shahrokhi, Minnesota Taxi-(2licenses) ■ Robert Stone, RS Transportation-(7 licenses) ■ Pat Burket-Jones, City Wide Taxi-(2licenses) � � � �'� - �� As a final note,we expect that at least four more licenses wi116ecome available in the near future. We will therefore, once again, announce a deadline for accepting applications for those four licenses and any others that become available in the interim through our regular enforcement efforts. The four licenses in question are currently in litigation and we have no way of knowing for sure when they will become available. Our best estimate is sometime before the end of November, 1996. Again, Please let us know of any questions or concerns. I am asking that this matter be placed on the City Council agenda for September 25, 1996,but you should check the City Council agenda to make sure that the date is confirmed. The agenda for the 25`''will be published on September 18`h. . c: Mayor Norm Coleman City Councilmembers Ginger Palmer,Assistant City Attorney Business Review Council Members LIEP Staff _ 3c� - �� Z . � o �-. o � ' � ' � � � i ► �� o _ � ' ' ' � aa � � j ; ; o � � V ; I � I � H � O W v� v�i�n v� v� v� v�;v��v� v�I v�' Q O � a � �� i� � � w = z '; � o °z � A � � u..
