Mr. Leszczynski advised that the Board is in receipt of an
Application for Certificate of Public Convenience as submitted by
Mr. Huey Schoby, 1240 VanBuren, South Bend, Indiana, to operate
C.B.S.M. Bus Service, Inc., 102 North Olive Street, P.O. Box 3594,
South Bend, Indiana.
It was noted that pursuant to ordinance requirements, a Public
Hearing on this application must be conducted and all current
holders of Certificates of Public Convenience must be notified of
the Public Hearing.
Mr. Leszczynski opened the Public Hearing and Mr. Schoby advised
that he desires to operate a medical van service. Mr. Schoby also
submitted to the Board an amended application for Certificate of
Public Convenience.
In response to questions from Board member Mr. Caldwell, Mr.
Schoby advised that he intends to operate an unlimited amount of
vehicles out of 102 North Olive Street. When asked if he intends
to provide twenty-four (24) hour dispatch, Mr. Schoby advised that
that was not his intention.
Board Member Mrs. Manier inquired of Mr. Schoby if he intends to
operate a vehicle himself. Mr. Schoby responded that he will
3
REGULAR MEETING
AUGUST 22, 1994
drive a vehicle and will provide service to the elderly and
disabled.
Board Attorney Mrs. Anne Bruneel informed Mr. Schoby that pursuant
to the licensing ordinance, the business must be available twenty-
four (24) hours a day to receive calls. Mr. Schoby stated that
that would not be a problem. Mr. Leszczynski inquired of Mr.
Schoby how he would provide this service when he previously stated
that he would not. Mr. Schoby replied that he was not aware that
that was an ordinance requirement but can comply with this
requirement.
Mr. Roger Woods, Roseland Cab Company, P.O. Box 643, Notre Dame,
Indiana, stated that he is confused as to Mr. Schoby's intentions.
Is he going to service the public or pick out the ones he wants to
service. Mr. Woods stated that pursuant to the ordinance, service
must be provided twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a
week.
Mr. Woods informed the Board that if Mr. Schoby intends to service
only the elderly and Medicaid recipients, there are lots of vans
in service operating without a taxi license because they are
regulated by the State. If the state requirements are met a City
license is not required. Mr. Woods stated that if Mr. Schoby
intends to operate as a taxi he must work like a taxi.
Mrs. Bruneel read part of the licensing ordinance to Mr. Schoby
that indicates that all persons engaged in the taxicab business in
the City, operating under the provision of the ordinance, shall
render an overall service to the public desiring to use taxicabs.
Mrs. Bruneel further stated that Mr. Schoby must be available to
handle calls twenty-four (24) hours a day.
Mr. Schoby informed the Board that he has no problem with the
requirements as outlined to him today. Mr. Caldwell further
informed Mr. Schoby that he will have to install meters in his
vans.
Mr. Caldwell made a motion that the Board table the application of
Mr. Schoby and continue the Public Hearing until September 6, 1994
at 9:30 a.m. in order to give Mr. Schoby time to meet with Board
Attorney Anne Bruneel to go over the taxicab licensing ordinance.
Mr. Leszczynski seconded the motion which carried.
PUBLIC HEARING AND CONTINUATION - CERTIFICATE OF PUBLIC
CONVENIENCE AND NECESSITY - WALTER AND PATRICIA JONES
Mr. Leszczynski indicated that submitted to the Board for
consideration was an Application for Certificate of Public
Convenience as submitted by Walter and Patricia Jones, 5019
Bloomfield Place, South Bend, Indiana.
It is noted that pursuant to ordinance requirements, a Public
Hearing on this application must be conducted and all current
holders of Certificates of Public Convenience must be notified of
the Public Hearing.
Mr. Walter Jones was present and informed the Board that he
previously held a Certificate of Public Convenience to operate the
Allied Cab Company. For various reasons, Mr. Jones stated that he
left Indiana and moved to Florida. He has now returned to the
area and would like to begin operating a taxicab business again.
Mr. Jones stated that because of his prior involvement in the
business, he is aware of the licensing requirements.
Mr. Jones informed the Board that he intends to begin operating
with two (2) taxicabs and will provide twenty-four (24) hour
service. Mr. Jones further informed the Board that he intends to
44
REGULAR MEETING AUGUST 22, 1994
operate this business out of his residence at 5019 Bloomfield
Place and was previously told by the Department of Code
Enforcement that that would be acceptable. He noted that
previously it was acceptable to operate the business anywhere as
long as drivers were dispatched twenty-four (24) hours a day.
Mr. Jones advised that he intends to call his new business the ABC
Cab and Courier Service. He noted that he did not put the number
of vehicles he intends to operate on the license application. He
stated that he recalls that the Board has not set a limit on the
number of taxicabs a business can operate as the market will
dictate that amount.
Mr. Jones asked that the Board let him operate and fail or be
successful. It is his opinion that the City will support more
taxicabs. Mr. Jones stated that the trouble is getting drivers
and he intends to recruit and train more drivers.
Mr. Pat O'Connell, Attorney at Law, 131 South Taylor Street, South
Bend, Indiana, representing Yellow Cab Company, 710 North Niles
Avenue, South Bend, Indiana, was present and noted that the
application submitted by Mr. and Mrs. Jones does not contain
answers to the question regarding the net worth of the business.
Mr. O'Connell further stated that it is his understanding that the
present ordinance is, and has been, in the process of being
reviewed. Mr. O'Connell stated that he would suggest that until
the ordinance is worked out it would not be appropriate to
undertake licensing any other companies.
Ms. Darlene Horvath, Office Manager, Yellow Cab Company, addressed
the Board and stated that she believes there is not a need for
another cab company to operate in the area. Yellow Cab keeps
track of the calls coming in and the business is growing. But,
who will protect the future. Ms. Horvath also disputed the claim
made by Mr. Jones that drivers are not available to drive taxicabs
and she noted that they do come in to Yellow Cab to drive.
Ms. Horvath noted that Yellow Cab Company is the largest in the
area and they are taking care of their customers. She further
noted that there is a slow season in this business.
In regards to the provision of services to the disabled,
handicapped or elderly, Ms. Horvath stated that it is her
understanding that TRANSPO Access is handling that business
adequately. Ms. Horvath also stated that Yellow Cab and other cab
companies do handle Medicaid runs but it is a lot of work and they
must be careful.
Ms. Horvath informed the Board that it has also come to her
attention that there are "gypsy" cabs operating in South Bend
without the appropriate license. She noted that Mr. Jones has
been operating without a license. She also noted that these
"gypsy" cab companies slap on a magnetic sign and handle the
business from the Century Center, Notre Dame and the hotels and
motels. She stated that all companies operating should be made to
follow the rules of the City.
Mr. Roger Woods, Roseland Cab Company, P.O. Box 643, Notre
Dame,
Indiana, addressed the Board and stated that he and Mr. Jones have
been friends for twelve (12) years. Mr. Woods stated that in the
past he recalls the Board saying that they would not approve any
more cab companies. However, that has not been the case. Mr.
Woods stated that ninety per cent (90%) of his business is in
Roseland. Mr. Woods further informed the Board that there are
companies licensed by the City that are not operating. He stated
that United Limo has never operated a true cab company. He
reminded the Board that the ordinance indicates that the Board can
revoke licenses when necessary. Mr. Woods noted that he has at
REGULAR MEETING
AUGUST 22, 1994
least one (1) car on the street at all times. Mr. Woods further
stated that the City does not have any ordinances governing limo
services and if Mr. Schoby intends to operate this type of service
he does not need a license from the City.
Mr. Jones addressed the Board and advised that in response to Mr.
O'Connell's question regarding assets of the company, the total
assets at this time are $5,200.00 and the net worth is $300.00
with more money being pumped -in to the business in the future.
Mr. Jones informed the Board that he has been operating in the
Roseland area from Notre Dame to the airport. In response to the
number of cabs he intends to operate, Mr. Jones stated that as
long as the Board has determined that there is no certain number
of cabs allowed, he would like the market to govern.
There being no further comments by individuals present, upon a
motion made by Mr. Leszczynski, seconded by Mrs. Manier and
carried, the Public Hearing on this matter was closed.
Mrs. Manier inquired of Mr. Jones if he would like to amend his
license application by adding the information he outlined
regarding his net worth and company name. Mr. Jones indicated
that he would like to amend his license. Therefore, Mr. Caldwell
made a motion that the license be amended as outlined. Mr.
Leszczynski seconded the motion which carried.
Board member Mrs. Manier asked Mr. Jones if he has been operating
a taxicab company. Mr. Jones stated that he has been operating
out of the County and also provides a courier service. He noted
that he is the private courier for the law firm of Barnes and
Thornburg in downtown South Bend.
Mrs. Manier also inquired of Mr. Jones if he was in any way
associated with the Allied Cab Company. Mr. Jones stated that he
gave up the Allied Cab Company in a judgement. The agreement was
that he would always be able to drive a cab with the company as
long as he signed over the Certificate. Since his return to South
Bend he has decided to secure a license of his own and not operate
a cab with the Allied Cab Company.
Mr. Jones stated that he did previously operate the Allied Cab
Company. That business was handed over to a Mr. Johnson and Mr.
Roger Woods handled the selling of the business to Mr. Johnson.
Mr. Woods informed the Board that Mr. Ed Johnson is a felon.
Mr. Caldwell made a motion that the Board deny renewal of the
license as there is already a Certificate with Mr. Jones' name on
it. The matter of this Certificate needs to be squared away
before the Board can look at issuing another Certificate. Until
that is taken care of, the Board cannot look at approving a new
business.
Mrs. Manier noted that there is nothing in the ordinance
precluding Mr. Jones from operating two (2) companies. However,
there is no record of Mr. Jones' action to transfer the
Certificate.
The motion to deny made by Mr. Caldwell died for lack of a second.
Board Attorney Mrs. Anne Bruneel inquired of Mr. Jones if he lost
the Certificate as part of a judgement. Mr. Jones stated that he
did. Mr. Jones further stated that as part of the agreement to
keep the case out of court, he had to sign over the Certificate
and then file the agreement with the judge. Mr. Jones and Mr.
Woods stated that the matter was finished and someone in the City
was notified.

of this matter. Mrs. Manier seconded the motion which carried.
