OR COUNCIL ACTION STAFF REPORT Under Municipal Code Section 5.76.200 the current taxicab rate is one dollar ninety cents for the first one-tenth mile, or flagdrop; twenty cents for each additional one-seventh mile or fraction thereof. The maximum waiting time rate and traffic delay charge are fifteen dollars per hour respectively. At the Bureau of Franchises meeting held on September 8, 1992, Mr. John Lightburn, representing Mr. Ted Parlas, Manager of Yellow Cab Company, made a presentation and requested a taxicab rate increase from twenty eight cents for each additional one-fifth mile or fraction thereof, to thirty cents for each additional one-sixth mile and an increase from fifteen to eighteen dollars per hour for waiting time and traffic delay charges. Mr. Lightburn cited an increase of 300% in workers compensation insurance premiums as the primary reason for asking for the increase in taxicab rates. After hearing the presentation by Mr. Lightburn and testimony from Mr. Ted Parlas, the members of the Bureau of Franchises reviewed the attached documents submitted by Mr. Lightburn including the workers compensation rate adjustment notice and survey of taxicab rates for the surrounding area. A motion by Mr. Pensiero and seconded by Ms. Foster that a taxicab rate increase be recommended to the Mayor and Common Council to include a flag drop rate of one dollar ninety cents for the first one-tenth mile, or flagdrop; thirty cents for each additional one- sixth mile or fraction thereof and a maximum rate of eighteen dollars per hour traffic delay and eighteen dollars per hour waiting time charge, carried unanimously. Staff conducted a survey of the cities indicated in Mr. Parlas's survey and verified the rates.
