8 <br />REGULAR MEETING <br />JANUARY 19, 1976 <br />withheld information regarding hi§ police:'record. Secondly,,it <br />should weigh the letters of recommendation it has received in <br />response to the letters sent by the Department of Law. <br />The Board should then weigh all the information available and make its <br />decision accordingly, <br />s/. Kathleen Cekanski <br />Deputy City Attorney <br />m <br />Mr. Waumans was present. Mr. Brunner advised Mr. Waumans that the <br />Board was concerned about the fact that he did not note on his <br />application the fact that there was a charge of Reckless Driving on <br />February 4, 1972, that a charge of Driving Under the Influence was <br />dismissed but that Mr. Waumans was convicted of Reckless Driving and <br />was fined $38.00 and court costs of $28.70. Mr. Brunner asked Mr. <br />Waumans if there was some reason why he did not note this. Mr. Waumans <br />said he just did not write it down. Mr. Brunner asked Mr. Waumans if <br />there was some reason -why he did not note that he was arrested in <br />Greencastle, Indiana in 1967 on a charge relating to child support. <br />Mr. Waumans said he just did not note it. Mr. Brunner asked Mr. Waumans <br />if he recalled a charge in 1969 relating to public intoxication. Mr. <br />Waumans said he did. 11r. Brunner advised Mr. Waumans that including <br />this information on his application would not; in itself, have prevented <br />the license from being issued. He said the Board was concerned with <br />Mr. Waumans failure to recollect these charges and list them on his <br />application. Mr. Brunner said the Legal Department had asked for <br />references but had not yet received any response. He said it would be <br />his inclination to wait until these letters are received before the <br />Board makes a final judgment on the matter. Mr. Brunner then made a <br />motion that this matter be set over for final consideration one week <br />from today, Monday, January 26, 1976, at which time the Board would make <br />a determination. The motion was seconded by Mr. Mullen and was <br />carried. <br />REPORT ON REQUEST FOR REDUCED RATES IN BICENTENNIAL CABS <br />Deputy City Attorney Kathleen Cekanski reported to the Board -that she <br />had reviewed the request of the Independent Cab Company to offer <br />a reduction in rates for two Bicentennial Cabs. Miss Cekanski said <br />that since the rates governing taxicabs set by the Common Council are <br />considered maximum amounts, rates under those amounts would be <br />permissible. She recommended that the Board adopt a resolution setting <br />forth the specifics of this project and making it a matter of public• <br />record. A resolution to that effect was then submitted to the Board. <br />Mr. Thompson of the Independent Cab Company was present. Mr. Brunner <br />advised Mr. Thompson that the resolution indicated that these would be <br />metered cabs. The Board was not willing to accept the suggestion that <br />the cabs be unmetered and that the reduced fee be based on the total <br />distance covered in the trip. The resolution states that the cab will <br />be metered and that 50(,% would be deducted from the metered rate at the <br />end of the trip. Mr. Thompson said what he had in mind was to offer <br />a 50(,, reduction for each person per day if they took the cab both ways. <br />He said if the meter could be set at 50(,% instead of 750, then there <br />would be a 250 reduction for each trip. Mr. Brunner asked how potential <br />customers would be advised of the saving. Mr. Thompson said he hoped <br />newspaper stories would tell customers about it. Mr. Brunner asked <br />Mr. Thompson if there would be something posted in the cab to the effect <br />that a savings would be effected. Mr. Thompson said he could do this. <br />Mr.Mullen asked Mr. Thompson how many cabs he had. Mr. Thompson said <br />he has one and is now trying to purchase a second one and possibly a <br />third cab. Mr. Brunner said this plan would then affect Mr. Thompson's <br />entire fleet. Mr. Thompson said he hopes to have three cabs, two of <br />which would be Bicentennial cabs. Mr. Brunner said the Board would not <br />want to change the metered setting in the cabs. He said the meter should <br />be set as the ordinance directs and then the reduction made on the <br />total cost of the trip. Miss Cekanski noted that the ordinance does call <br />0 <br />1 <br />
