Approval of Minutes Board Member Turner made a motion seconded by Board Member Encisco and unanimously carried that the minutes ofthe Bureau of Franchises meeting of June II, 2002 be approved as submitted in their type written form. Old Business Chairman Cole read into the record the issue that is now before the Board: Review action taken by the Mayor and Common Council at their meeting of August 5, 2002 and September 9, 2002 regarding the appeal of AAA Inland Empire Cab Co. Determination pursuant to San Bernardino Municipal Code Section 5.76.060(A), as to whether Bell Cab/Y ellow Cab should receive an increase of 25 taxicabs or whether AAA Inland Empire Cab Company should be granted a permit for the 25 taxicabs it has requested. Chairman Cole opened discussion by stating that there were representatives present from each company who would be making a presentation. Chairman Cole indicated it was the Boards task to act upon the City Council's referral back to the Bureau. Mr. Empeno distributed copies of Resolution No. 2002-295 which the Mayor and Council had approved unanimously, without any changes, at their meeting of September 9,2002. In addition, Mr. Empeno distributed copies ofletters received from Mark Edwards, Attorney for AAA Inland Empire Cab Co. and Craig Wilson, associate of Wilfred Lemann, Attorney for Bell Cab/Y ellow Cab. Mr. Empeno indicated that these letters stated that both law firms had reviewed the draft copy of Resolution No. 2002-295 provided by Mr. Empeno's office and they had no changes or objections to the Resolution as drafted. Mr. Empeno also distributed copies ofSBMC Section 5.76.060 dealing with taxicab permits. Chairman Cole asked AAA Inland Empire Cab to make their presentation. Peter Withers, Vice-President of AAA Inland Empire Cab stated that AAA Inland Empire Cab had recently gone through a similar process in the cities of Riverside and Redlands and that they had been awarded the right to operate a minimum of 25 vehicles in Riverside and 10 vehicles in Redlands. Mr. Withers stated that the San Bernardino City Council, as evidenced by Resolution 2002-295, ".. .has recognized that there is indeed a proven need and a strong demand for a competitive choice of taxicab provider. This recognition similarly was echoed and supported in the editorial columns of both daily newspapers." Mr. Withers gave examples of"...the way in which the San Bernardino community is already reaching out to us and seeking our active participation in the City." Mr. Withers requested that the Bureau grant the 25 vehicles they have requested. Mr. Edwards, Attorney for AAA Inland Empire Cab, continued AAA's presentation. Mr. Edwards reviewed past action by the Mayor and Common Council at their meeting of August 5, 2002. Mr. Edwards stated that it was made clear in the Resolution and the evidence that was presented that the City found that the current provider of taxicab service, Bell Cab/Y ellow Cab, was failing in the promises it made to the City. Mr. Edwards listed these failures as not having the legal ability to put the number of cabs on the street for which it was already franchised, no service available for those with children, no service available for the handicapped, and business people staying at hotels could not get adequate taxi service. Mr. Edwards cited two letters brought forth at the Mayor and Common Council meeting of August 5, 2002 from representatives of the Hilton Hotel and LaQuinta Hotel testifying that their guests frequently were left without taxicab service or service that was delayed. Mr. Edwards indicated that they had reviewed the September 8, 1998 hearing of the Bureau of Franchises when Bell Cab was awarded its franchise. Mr. Edwards indicated that at this hearing Bell Cab had made several promises and that these promises had been broken. Mr. Edwards then reviewed the promises that he states have not been kept by Bell Cab/Y ellow Cab; they are summarized as follows: . 10-15 minute response times . 6 handicap accessible taxi vans . All drivers in uniform . Establish new "taxi stands" in the City of San Bernardino . All taxis have a child safety seat on board . More taxicabs available 2 Mr. Edwards went on to state that these promises were not kept by Bell Cab as they bought out Yellow Cab, leaving a sole operator and the same lack of competition which has allowed them to break these promises. Mr. Edwards then referred to the Resolution 2002-295 and stated, "the City of San Bernardino Council, in granting our appeal, found that the current taxi service is inadequate." Mr. Edwards requested that the Bureau grant the available taxicabs to AAA Inland Empire Cab. Chairman Cole called for questions regarding AAA's presentation. Board Member Carson questioned why the businesses had never complained to the City before. Mr. Edwards responded that there is no indication in BelIN ellow taxis as to how to complain to the City, there is only reference to BellNellow Cab's phone number. Mr. Carson responded that customers generally will complain to the business owner and then they in turn should be the one complaining to the City. Board Member Martindale brought to member Carson's attention the two letters presented in the back-up provided by AAA Inland Empire Cab from the Hilton Hotel dated August 2, 2002 and from LaQuinta Inn dated September 4, 2002 stating their complaints. Board Member Martindale read a prepared statement indicating that she" had heard both sides and I have reviewed documentation that has led me to conclude that the City of San Bernardino needs to have a choice regarding their transportation.. .hearing the need, I am asking the fellow members to reconsider and allow AAA Inland Empire Cab Co. to provide choice and fill the gap of our citizens need for the extra 25." Chairman Cole requested BelIN ellow Cab make their presentation. Rusty Deaton, Marketing Director for BellNellow Cab, to give overview of BeliN ell ow Cab's service plans, opened the presentation. Ms. Deaton indicates that BellNellow Cab now does a drunk driving campaign with the Anheisur-Bush company where they provide free taxi service and subsidized taxi service during all major holidays. Ms. Deaton also indicated that they participate in MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving). Ms. Deaton stated that she had addressed the service issues brought forth by AAA and that she had spoken to the hotels. Ms. Deaton indicated she had proposed a shuttle service to both hotels. Ms. Deaton also covered the legalities regarding the number of individuals a sedan vehicle can carry. Ms. Deaton covered the issue regarding child seats and the laws that have changed regarding the weight of the child for the seat and the capacity the seat can support. Ms. Deaton stated that "typically parents are given guidelines that they provide their own car seats. We do have a few that are available." Ms. Deaton further explained that in regards to the handicapped vehicles, BelIN ellow does have 5 vehicles and they ask for reservations. Ms. Deaton indicated the reasons for the reservations are that the vehicles are always busy, but that more vehicles could be added. Ms. Deaton stated that the drivers for the handicapped vehicles go through a 6-12 hour training program and she questioned whether AAA's drivers have the same training. Ms. Deaton then referred to copies of photos submitted to the Board showing AAA's taxi yard located at 359 E. Front Street, Covina. Ms. Deaton pointed out that the photos showed a yard overgrown with weeds and inoperable vehicles. Mr. Edwards, 3 Attorney for AAA Inland Empire Cab, inteljected that this was not AAA Inland Empire's yard, that their yard was located in Riverside. Chairman Cole asked for clarification from both parties. Ms. Deaton stated that the commonality between the yard in Covina and the Riverside yard was that one of AAA Inland Empire Cab's owners was the owner of the Covina operation. Mr. Edwards then indicated that AAA Inland Empire Cab's yard was located on Date Street in Riverside. It was concluded that the owner of the Covina yard owns a 25% interest in AAA Inland Empire Cab Co. Ms. Deaton continued with the issue of response time by AAA Inland Empire Cab. Ms. Deaton stated that they called for a driver from the Metrolink in Rialto and the response time was 34 minutes. Ms. Deaton also provided as evidence, letters from individuals indicating their long wait times after calling AAA for pick up from locations within the City of San Bernardino. Ms. Deaton further stated that "No one in this world can guarantee on time service every single time.. .because each operation has difficulties, and pluses and minuses." Scott Schaffer, representing BellN ellow Cab, continued the presentation. Mr. Schaffer indicated BellN ellow Cab is requesting the 25 additional taxi cabs. Mr. Schaffer indicated that BellN ellow Cab is proposing to add "clean fuel" cabs such as those they are providing in their other operations in the Los Angeles basin. In addition, they will be adding two London type cabs that should be available in December. Mr. Schaffer proceeded to address issues brought forth by the Board and Mr. Edwards, Attorney for AAA Inland Empire Cab. Mr. Schaffer stated that when Bell Cab was awarded their permit in 1998 that "...those were clearly much different economic times and the situation was clearly much different because of the Onmitrans Dial-A-Cab program.. .". Mr. Schaffer referred to the issue of response times, stating the issues ".. .are not reflective of the service in an overall picture. They are a snapshot in time of problems that we've had.. . and what we've done is respond to those issues." Mr. Schaffer indicated that they are willing to provide more cabs to see if this helps improve service. However, Mr. Schaffer indicated his concerns on flooding the market and the driver's ability to make a reasonable amount of money. In reference to the handicap issue, Mr. Schaffer indicated that". . . we try to encourage reservations to make sure that the service is there. We have not had as much demand as was indicated at the public hearing both at the Franchise Board and the Council for wheelchair taxicab service." Mr. Schaffer went on to indicate that there are many other services available to the handicap such as Omnitrans and Health Link. In reference to the uniform issue, Mr. Schaffer stated that both companies have independent contractors and that the drivers can not be forced to wear uniforms unless they are employees. Mr. Schaffer referred to the Councils direction for the Legislative Review Committee to review the current Ordinance. Mr. Schaffer stated ".. . maybe there should be set and specific standards about the service levels..." Mr. Schaffer stated that the Board has the ability at any time to look at their records to review the service provided by BellNellow Cab. With regards to the child safety seat issue, Mr. Schaffer indicates that the program has not been successful having the seats in every vehicle due to the problem with space and luggage. Mr. Schaffer stated "State law does not place the burden on the cab operator. . . but the burden is on the parents." Mr. Schaffer also indicated the difficulty with providing the correct seat for the weight of the child. Mr. Schaffer responded to the 4 < cab stand issues by stating that 95% of the business is telephonic and that cab stands have no relationship to the demand and market in San Bernardino. Mr. Schaffer concluded by stating that they are willing to do what the Council has asked and he further requested that a Franchise Board member attend the Legislative Review Committee meeting regarding changes to the current Ordinance to make recommendations. Board Member Turner questioned what the liability would be should a car seat provided by the cab company fail in an accident and if it would create substantial liability for the cab company? Mr. Schaffer responded that scenario probably would create a liability problem but that was never the reason why the car seat program did or did not work. Wilfrid Lemann, Attorney for BellNellow Cab referred to SBMC 5.76.050 which sets forth the standards that the Bureau must take its responsibility. Mr. Lemann stated that" . . . the real issue here for the Franchise Bureau and I think the real service you can give to the City of San Bernardino and its residents, is to establish standards." Mr. Lemann further stated "That the testimony that we really received up till now has been in the nature of hearsay." Mr. Lemann indicated that they hoped the Bureau would award the additional cabs to BellN ellow Cab and work closely with them to monitor the service being provided. Boardmember Carson asked why the question keeps arising regarding the number of active cabs. Mr. Zadurian, representing BelIN ellow Cab, responded stating, .. We have a total of 45 cabs in San Bernardino. A minimum of35 of them are on the road ..." Mr. Zadurian indicated that BelIN ellow Cab receives an average of 600-700 calls in 24 hours for the City of San Bernardino. Further discussion ensued regarding the number of licensed taxi drivers and the discrepancy between the number holding an active business license, those cleared by the Police Department, and those driving for BelIN ellow Cab. Deputy City Attorney Henry Empeno referred the Board to SBMC Section 5.76.280 regarding licensed drivers. Chairman Cole summarized that BellNellow Cab does not have 35 or 45 licensed drivers for the 35 or 45 cabs that are in service. Chairman Cole further stated that due to the current process, this number could fluctuate and cause a deficiency in the number of current licensed drivers. Attorney Mark Edwards and Mr. Withers of AAA Inland Empire Cab and Scott Schaffer and Attorney Bill Lemann representing BeliN ellow Cab, summarized their positions regarding the issuance of the 25 additional taxi cabs to be awarded by the Bureau of Franchises. Chairman Cole asked for comments from the public regarding the issue before the Board. John Anaya Sr., advocate for Americans with Disabilities, spoke in regards to transportation for the disabled and seniors. Mr. Anaya asked how many complaints are received by BellN ellow Cab from the disabled community. Ms. Deaton responded that, on average, a few complaints are received each month. Further discussion ensued regarding complaints from the disabled community and how they were handled by BellNellow Cab. Chairman Cole stated that at the Council meeting, AAA Inland Empire Cab proposed a reduced rate and questioned if that rate is in place should AAA be awarded the 25 vehicles. Mr. Edwards responded in the affirmative. Chairman Cole asked if AAA is making a commitment to the City that this rate will be in effect for a specific 5 time period. Mr. Withers indicated that it would be for a minimum of90 days. Chairman Cole asked AM Cab what their commitment to the City would be on the six points previously raised regarding service. Mr. Edwards, Attorney for AM Cab responded they would: . Strive for 10-15 minute response times . Child safety seats . Handicapped vans to pick up "on-call" . Drivers in uniform . 25 licensed drivers . Apply for cab-stand in the Hospitality Lane area Chairman Cole asked AAA Inland Empire Cab what mechanism they have in their taxicabs for customers who have a complaint. Mr. Withers responded there is a 4X6 card mounted on the dashboard of the vehicle indicating a number for the taxi company, Police Department and the City Council Office. In addition, Chairman Cole asked for the number of handicapped vans they would have available. Mr. Withers responded that AM Cab has six handicapped vehicles and two I a-seat buses capable of accommodating two wheelchairs. In addition, 3 vans have recently been purchased and are being re- furbished. Chairman Cole indicated that he had read in the newspaper and heard comments at the City Council meeting that there has been an offer of one company to buy another. Chairman Cole asked both parties to respond. Mr. Edwards, Attorney for AAA Inland Empire Cab, responded in the negative to Chairman Cole's question. Mr. Schaffer, BelllY ellow Cab indicated that he had been approached by "one of the principles". Mr. Lemarm, attorney for BelllY ellow Cab requested clarification from Deputy City Attorney Empeno as to whether the Bureau is authorized under the Ordinance to license non-ambulatory vehicles. Mr. Empeno responded that wheelchair vehicles are provided for in the Ordinance and they would be considered non-emergency medical transport vehicles and that a Franchise could be obtained separate from a taxicab Franchise. Discussion also ensued regarding the taxi cab rates established by Ordinance. Chairman Cole called for a motion by the Board. Board Member Martindale made a motion seconded by Board Member Fernandez, that AM Inland Empire Cab Company be granted a permit to operate 25 taxicabs in the City of San Bernardino. Vote was taken with Board Members Turner, Enciso and Carson voting against and Board Members Fernandez and Martindale voting in favor. Mr. Empeno reminded Chairman Cole that he has a vote. Chairman Cole asked Mr. Empeno for clarification in the instance of a tie vote. Mr. Empeno indicated that a tie vote would indicate the motion would not carry and further discussion would be required by the Board to see if an alternative motion could be passed. Chairman Cole then indicated he votes in favor of the motion resulting in a 3-3-tie vote. Discussion ensued and Board Member Carson made a motion to allow BelllYellow Cab to have the additional 25 taxicabs. Board Member Encisco, with a stipulation that BelllY ellow Cab have a definite time to correct all the items that were previously discussed, seconded the motion. Mr. Carson re-stated his motion to approve BelllY ellow Cab to have the additional 25 taxicabs and with that approval BelllY ellow Cab will be required to address the following service levels: 1. 10-15 minute response time 6 2. Handicap accessible vans 3. Uniformed drivers 4. Cab stands in the City of San Bernardino 5. Child safety seats 6. All drivers licensed In addition, the posting of a complaint process in each vehicle for customer complaints. The Board will review the decision in 6 months. Board Member Turner seconded the motion. Motion carried by a vote of 4 to 2. Members in favor: Fernandez, Turner, Encisco and Carson. Members opposed: Martindale and Cole. Chairman Cole requested that a draft of the complaint process be brought back to the Board at the next meeting. Mr. Schaffer indicated he would have a draft document at the next meeting.

That decision was reached at a meeting of the Franchise Bureau on September 10, 2002. At a City Council meeting on September 9, 2002 (addressing a matter for which a public hearing was held on August 5, 2002) the City Council found, among other things, that taxi service in the City of San Bernardino as provided by Bell Cab/Yellow Cab, was poor, was failing to meet the needs of business travelers and the handicapped community, and that, despite having a franchise to operate 45 cabs in the City, Bell Cab/Yellow Cab had only 12 licensed drivers in the City of San Bernardino. Based upon those findings, the Council elected to overturn the prior decision of the Franchise Bureau to deny AM Inland Empire Cab Company a franchise for 25 additional taxicabs. Pursuant to Municipal Code section 5.76,060(A) the Council then referred the matter back to the Franchise Bureau for allocation of such 25 new cabs. The Bureau first voted 3-3 on a motion to award the cabs to AM Inland Empire Cab Company, then voted 4-3 to award such cabs to Bell Cab/Yellow Cab. Pursuant to section 5.76.060 of the Municipal Code, the allocation of such 25 new taxicabs to Bell Cab/Yellow Cab is "subject to approval, reversal, or modification...by the Mayor and Common Council." AAA Inland respectfully requests that the Mayor and Council < (. .' '> September 23, 2002 Page 2 reverse the decision of the Franchise Bureau and award the permit to operate those cabs to AAA Inland Empire Cab Company. To do otherwise defies the Council's own action, and the best interests of the City of San Bernardino. To do otherwise has the effect ofrewarding Bell CabNellow Cab for the numerous failures in its service, demonstrated by ample evidence at the Council hearing, and rewarding BellNellow for its repeated violations oflaw. Conversely, as the process of AAA applying for a permit has shown, competition from a second taxicab company will assure better quality of service and provides a means of assuring compliance with the City Code and other applicable laws by franchise holders. Additional grounds for the appeal are as follows: . At the Franchise Bureau meeting, Bell CabN ellow Cab adamantly asserted it was operating 45 cabs during the day in the City of san Bernardino. In light of the City Council's specific finding that Bell/Yellow had only 12 licensed drivers (increased to 16 by the date of the Franchise Bureau meeting) this constitutes an admission, by BellNellow, that it is operating in direct contravention of the Municipal Code. . At the Franchise Bureau meeting Bell CabNellow Cab specifically admitted it was not providing on-call service to the handicapped community, thereby violating the Federal Americans With Disabilities Act ("ADA"). Both the City of San Bernardino and BellN ellow have a legal obligation to see that public transportation services are provided in compliance with the ADA. I, and AAA Inland Empire Cab Company, sincerely appreciate your attention to this matter. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call. Very truly yours, MIRAU, EDWARDS, CANNON, HARTER & LEWIN A Professional Corporation, ~/, /." " ./ /.. ! ,^ . , . By / Mark C.

He had previously called and left a voice mail message indicating that he wanted the appeal hearing to be scheduled for the 10/7 Council meeting to be continued for two reasons: a) he was going to be in D.C., and b) the Franchise Bureau has not yet approved the minutes of their last meeting. 1JIkll, when I retumed his call, he indicated that he has canceled his trip to D.C., as he wants to get this over with so he will be ready to come to the hearing on 10/7. Cindy has already prepared a draft Report for Council Action which is being reviewed by Henry Empeno and which I will see when it gets back. I have asked Cindy to insert language from the Muni Code that directs the City Clerk to schedule appeal items at the first possible Council meeting following the sixth day after the appeal has been filed. eLL {I (/('tk clark ra@t:i.san-bernardino.ca.us 09/26/2002 1.

Bamlrdlllo By Kristina Wells Staff Writer BLOOMINGTON -- Detectives in Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties are investigating similarities in Monday's killings of two Yellow Cab Co. drivers Because the killings were only about two hours apart and the victims were both Yellow Cab Co. drivers killed by a single gunshot, San Bernardino County sheriff's and Pomona police detectives met Monday to exchange information. Sheriff's deputies responding to a report of shots fired shortly after midnight in the 11100 block of Laurel Avenue found a Yellow Cab abandoned and its driver, 26-year-old Andres Dominguez of Rial to, dead from a single gunshot wound, said sheriff's Sgt. Robert Wickum, Pomona officers found themselves responding to a similar call 2102 hours later of shots fired in a residential area near Hemlock and Roderick streets. They discovered an abandoned cab and the lifeless body of its driver, 40- year-old Victor Henderson of Azusa, dead from a single gunshot wound, Pomona police Lt. Ronald McDonald said, Detectives had little information to go on and were releasing few details late Monday. "We have no suspect information and no information as far as motive," Wickum said. "We're exploring all avenues and possibilities." An employee at the Yellow Cab Co. in San Bernardino referred inquiries regarding Dominguez's death to the Sheriff's Department and declined to comment. Calls to the company in Pomona were not returned. http://www.dailybulletincom/cgi-bin/Live1Que.acgi$rec= 124521 ?anews 2/22/00 ....a.uy JJUUlvUU VlIl1U..... ~ ""0- - ........ - .

As you will recall, I work at the Inland Center Mall and thought I would give AAA a try after they came to our phone booth one day. I waited over 2 hours for one of their cabs, and was forced to call your company to come and pick me up. The Yellow Cab was there in less than 10 minutes. Your dri\'Cl' \\'as friendly, and professional. I believc the driwr's name was Todd. Should )'ou need 1111' help in the nnure, please don't hesitate to ask, ] don't want this to happen to anyone else.

Caroline St, San Bcrnardino, I noticed a white and blue van (AAA's) van looking for a passenger. I didn't think that AAA could pick up in San Bernardino, and was surprised to see Dave Evans there, I spoke with the driver of the AAA Van (Dave Evans), he said that he was looking for a passenger and couldn't find him. I drove to the back of the Club and there was the passenger. The passenger said that he had been waiting for over 3 hours for AAA Inland Empire Cab to pick him up. Each time the passenger called AAA to see where his cab was the Dispatcher (Greg) would tell him it would be a few more minutes. I called Greg (AAA's dispatcher on my cell phone) and asked him why the passenger had to wait so long, he said that it was a good trip and that Dave Evans had to finish a previous trip before he could pick up Larry, so he kept him waiting.
