National. Limousine Service, Inc. 2420 Prast Boulevard South Bend, Indiana The Clerk tendered proofs of publication of Notice in the South Bend Tribune and the Tri-County News which.were found to be sufficient. Mr. Walter Jones, 1608 North Sheridan, South Bend, Indiana on behalf of Roseland Cab addressed the Board. Mr. Jones stated that the limo companies are actually doing a taxi. cab service but to issue taxi cab licenses is not the answer to the problem. He stated that it is his company's opinion that the limo companies should provide limo services and cab companies should provide taxi cab services. He asked if there really was a need for more taxi cab service in South Bend. Mr. Loyd V. (Bud) Weldy, 5110 Breezewood, Mishawaka, Indiana, President of United Limo, Inc., 10844 McKinley, Osceola,. Indiana, addressed the Board and stated that he was originally under the opinion that his company had intra- state authority but will do what it takes to comply with the City ordinance if required to do so. Mr. Roger Woods, 1410 Viking, addressed the Board and indicated that with a limo service the use of a meter is of little or no value when transporting seven or more passengers or five or more passengers to five different locations. He stated that the City should possibly look at changing the ordinance concerning pick-up and delivery. He further stated that limos are not adequate transportation to the grocery store or the laundromat and therefore are not a taxi cab service. Mr. Loyd S. (Steve) Weldy, 2301 Union Avenue, South Bend, Indiana, Vice -President or United Limo, Inc., 10844 McKinley, Osceola, Indiana, asked on what basis the Boord will either grant or deny Certificates of Public Convenience and Necessity. 'Mr. Mark Campbell, Vice -President of National Limousine Service, Inc., 2420 Prast Blvd., South Bend, Indiana, indicated that 90% of his business is charter business for weddings and funerals. He indicated that the Citv should have a separate ordinance regulating limo services. REGULAR MEETING OCTOBER 17, 1983 Mr. Arwell Montgomery, 3801 Riverside Drive, South Bend, Indiana, sole proprietor of Airport Limousine Service, indicated that the limo service is a vital asset to the community and that 90% of his business is to hotels and motels and that his business is not suited for the taxi license. City.Attorney Richard L. Hill, advised that the Board appreciates the concerns voiced concerning changing the existing ordinance. He additionally stated that the City needs to determine what entities fall under the existing ordinance and what type of operations fall within the provisions of the ordinance and to additionally assure that everyone complies. He stated that the limo service has not recently been added to the ordinance as that ordinance has existed for some time, but in the interpreta- tion of the ordinance limos have been included because the service provided falls within the limits of the ordinance. A determination must be made as to what entities should be licensed and to assure that they comply with the provisions of the ordinance. Perhaps some time in the future, the ordinance may be modified but for the present time, the City must operate under the current ordinance. Board Attorney Carolyn V. Pfotenhauer, stated the technical aspects of compliance and indicated that the ordinance applies to businesses that do not operate on a fixed route. Additionally, the business must have a central business office which must be established to receive calls on a 24-hour a day basis, the vehicles must be metered, inspected, identification placed on the vehicle indicating the company and proof of adequate insurance coverage must be provided. Mr. Bud Weldy asked that if all the requirements are met and if the business does fall under the taxi cab ordinance is the application routinely granted or can they be opposed and on what basis can it be opposed? Board Attorney Carolyn V. Pfotenhauer stated that it is the position of the Board that if the company is in compliance the recommendation would be favorable and it would allow the market to determine the need for the additional service. Mr. Bud Weldy stated that currently the limo services are going everywhere and there is no difference between them and the cab companies as they are doing the same thing. Mr. Walter Jones, indicated that he doubts if any of the limo services are prepared to go into the taxi business and he feels that the limo services should not be required to have a taxi cab 1i.cense and to have to install meters. City Attorney Richard L. Hill advised that if in fact the limo companies determined they will operate on a fixed route they would not be under the provisions of the ordinance. If they are going to pick-up people at their homes they are operating as a taxi cab under the provisions of the ordinance. If they vary from the fixed route they need to be licensed as taxi cabs under the ordinance. Mr. Walter Jones indicated that he picks up people at the airport and drops the people off in South Bend. He does not use a fixed route. Board Attorney Carolyn V. Pfotenhauer advised that the definition of a fixed route is from Point X to Point Y on a regular basis. A regular predictable route and predictable schedule with pick- up points at various locations. If limo services are picking people up at their homes, they are operating as a taxi cab service. REGULAR MEETING OCTOBER 17. 1983 39'7 1 1 Mr. Walter Jones stated '.that the use of a fixed route.is unrealistic as it creates a timing problem. He indicated that he cannot schedule his route until he is chartered. - Mr. Donald Heilman,- 3.918 South Michigan, owner of Courtesy Cab addressed the Board and stated that it was his opinion that the.public. hearing was being held today to determine if an additional taxi -cab service is needed and that he does not feel that there is a need for more taxi cab service City Attorney Richard L. Hill advised that the concept of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity has been a part of the ordinance for some time but it predated legal developments that determined that a city could have anti-trust liability.. He further stated that it would be. impossible for the City to deny.a certificate to an applicant on the basis of there already being too many cab companies in business. The greater concern for the City is whether in fact the businesses that are being recommended for licenses are in compliance. That is the issue that can be addressed at this time. Mr. Bud Weldy indicated that his company does not want to do a taxi service. He stated that taxi cab services do not provide the kind of service his company does. He advised that his is a personal service for his customers and that he has a contract with a travel agency to provide services. However, he will get the license and comply if required to do so. Mr. Campbell of National Limo Service indicated that his business does not apply under the existing ordinance. He stated that his is a pick-up and delivery service on a charter basis. Mr. Roger Woods indicated that the City should have a. separate ordinance or change the existing ordinance to regulate limo services and possibly find an easier alternative. He additionally inquired as to what constitutes a.central office. Board Attorney Carolyn V. Pfotenhauer responded by stating that a central office is a business location with a 24- hour phone service for the purpose of receiving calls and dispatching cabs. City Attorney Richard L. Hill indicated that since from time to time the limo services conduct business as a taxi cab service it would be difficult to separate the concepts in order to formulate a new ordinance directed only at limousine services. Mr. Roger Woods indicated that limo services are chartered. If a meter is placed in the vehicles, and it is called a taxi cab, it is going to cause problems. Board Attorney Carolyn V. Pfotenhauer stated that the intent of the ordinance is to regulate and does not include executive limos hired for a day or for several hours. Vehicles that are available for hire on the street or the airport and not operating on a fixed route are subject to the require- ments of the ordinance. City Attorney Richard L. Hill stated that if someone is offering an executive limousine service but wants to provide the other service as well, that company comes under the provisions of the ordinance. 398 REGULAR MEETING OCTOBER 17, 1983 Mr. Bud Weldy indicated that it is his intention to serve the public and that no one running a limo service runs a fixed route. Mr. Roger Woods asked for a clarification of the term central office stating that it was his understanding that the office had to be available for service. Mr. Terry Smith, 118 North Illinois, South Bend, Indiana, additionally asked for a clarification of the term "central office." Mr. Roger Woods additionally inquired about the dispatching of vehicles between the hours of 12 midnight and 6 a.m. and what happens when the company does not have a vehicle available. Board Attorney Carolyn V. Pfotenhauer read twice the applicable section in the taxi cab license ordinance which is as follows: "Holders of certificates of public convenience and necessity shall maintain a central place of business and keep the office open twenty-four (24) hours a day for the purpose of receiving calls and dispatching cabs. They shall answer all calls received by them for services inside the corporate limits of the City as soon as they can do so. If the services cannot be rendered within a reasonable time they shall then notify the prospective passengers how long it will be before the call can be answered and give the reason therefor." City Attorney Richard L. Hill advised that the City would be monitoring the operations for non-compliance with ordinance requirements. Upon a motion made by Mr.. Hill, seconded by Mr. Leszczynski and carried,.the public hearing on this matter was closed. In conclusion, Board Attorney Carolyn V. Pfotenhauer asked the following questions of Mr. Bud Weldy of United Limo, Inc. and Mr. Arwell Montgomery of Airport Limousine Service to which both gentlemen answered YES to all questions. The questions asked were (1) It is our understanding that you are not operating on a fixed route- is that correct? (2) Are your vehicles available for hire at the airport? (3) Do you understand that you must maintain a central office? (4) Do you understand that you must provide proof of liability insurance coverage? (5) Do you understand that the vehicles must have identification on them indicating the company name? (6) Do you understand that you are required to have the vehicles that are not on a fixed route metered and inspected? Mr. Bud Weldy asked if an extension of time could be granted to comply with all of the above. He was informed that a reasonable amount of time will be given. Board Attorney Carolyn V. Pfotenhauer addressed Mr. Mark Campbell of National Limo Service, Inc. and Mr. Campbell indicated that his is an executive limousine service carrying up to eight (8) passengers. He has a 2 hour minimum charge with a $40.00 deposit and one day advance notice requirement.. He indicated that he is available for weddings and funerals. He does not operate on a fixed route but he is not for hire on the street and in order to hire him his office must be called. But, he occasionally sits at the airport waiting to be hired when he has not been chartered for something else. n 1 3 99 REGULAR MEETING OCTOBER 17, 1983 City Attorney Richard L. Hill advised Mr. Campbell that if he wants to do business at.the airport he must comply with the taxi cab ordinance. If he wants to be an executive service he must be just that. Mr. Campbell must decide how he wants to handle his business. Mr. Campbell indicated that he.has a telephone call box at the airport and receives calls that way. He stated that on days when he is not chartered he would like the option of standing by at the airport. Upon a motion made by Mr. Hill, seconded by Mr. Leszczynski and carried, the Certificates of Public Convenience and Necessity were granted to United Limo, Inc. and Airport Limousine Service and the matter of the application for Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for National Limousine Service, Inc. was taken under advisement and continued until the next regular meeting of the Board of Public Works. .
