424 REGULAR MEETING NOVEMBER 13 , '19-84 Mr. Hill stated that the background check conducted by the South Bend Police Department revealed a public intoxication charge on April 13, 1984,but indicated no disposition. He asked Mr. Brown if he recalled the circumstances surrounding this charge. Mr. Brown advised that he did not recall any such charge in April of 1984. He did state that there was a family dispute around that time and it is possible that a member of his family could have filed those charges against him. Mr. Hill advised that "no disposition" indicates that the court has not taken action on the charge and since they have not done so to date, they probably would not. NOTE: After the meeting of the Board, the Clerk of the Board of Public Works was advised by the South Bend Police Department that the 4-13-84 Public Intoxication charge indicating no disposition, should have read 4-13-82 Public Intoxication - No disposition. Mr. Hill stated that the concern of the Board is that the Board has the publics' trust to screen applicants and to not put potential passengers in any position of danger. He further stated that the Board was concerned about Mr. Brown's past driving record and it does appear that since 1982 Mr. Brown has not had any problems. He further stated that the Board would be willing to give Mr. Brown a chance. He cautioned Mr. Brown that should he have any problems in the area of public intoxication or any moving violation the Board would be in a position to take the taxicab driver's license away. Mr. Hill stated that the Board would be obligated to do that in the interest of public safety. Mr. Hill further stated that Mr. Brown indicated that he has straightened out his past problems and advised him that there is no room for arrest or moving violations. Mr. Hill advised that it is his recommendation that should there be any future problems the license be suspended and taken away. Therefore, upon a motion made by Mr. Hill, seconded by Mr. Leszczynski and carried, the prior denial of the Taxicab Driver's License for Mr. Brown was rescinded and the application approved. Mr. Vance abstained from voting on this matter.
