RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY
GRANTING TAXICAB PERMITS TO THE
TAXICAB OPERATORS CURRENTLY PERMITTED BY
THE METROPOLITAN TRANSIT DEVELOPMENT BOARD
WHEREAS, in July, 1991, the City and Metropolitan Transit Development
Board (MTDB) first entered into an agreement authorizing MTDB to regulate taxicabs
and other for -hire vehicles within the City. The term of the agreement has been
extended numerous times, and is now set to expire on December 31, 2004. Because
the City Council has determined that the City will assume the regulatory functions now
performed by MTDB, the term of the agreement with MTDB will not be extended beyond
December 31; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the agreement, MTDB has issued taxicab permits
to three operators — Yellow Cab, Red Cab, and USA Cab — which together operate a
total of 65 taxicabs in National City. Under the permitting system established by MTDB
acting on behalf of the City, those three operators would be entitled to maintain their
permits indefinitely, provided that annual fees were paid and there was no cause for
revocation of the permits. It has been recommended that the City Council grant permits
to these operators currently permitted by MTDB, on the conditions that a permit
application be completed, and the annual fee be paid to the City.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
National City that taxicab operating permits to operate taxicabs within the City of
National City shall be granted to Yellow Cab, Red Cab, and USA Cab on the conditions
that permit applications be completed, and the annual fee be paid to the City.
PASSED and ADOPTED this 21s` day of December, 204.
