when a new Police Chief is hired? He also did not support the issue of the color scheme. He <br />believed .there needed to be color differences between the cab companies. He requested that the <br />Council apply the same rules that were here when he started his business and make changes that <br />would work together in harmony between the city and the cab companies. <br /> <br /> Lorna Boatwright, Veterans Cabs, 22990 Clawiter, agreed with the previous speaker. <br />Her only concern was the increase in the insurance amount. The $2 million will make the <br />increase per unit go up tremendously. <br /> <br /> Ms. Acosta said staff could support retaining the $1 million. <br /> <br /> Mayor Tarver said if the necessity issue was going to remain in the ordinance he would <br />like it at Council's level and not at the Chief of Police level. If Council does not want to get <br />involved, then it should strike that section of the ordinance. <br /> <br /> Ms. Ayala suggested striking the section. <br /> <br /> It was moved by Mr. Pico, and seconded by Ms. Michelotti, that Ordinance No. <br />1744 be introduced, to be read by title only and waiving further reading thereof, amending <br />Chapter 6.40, Taxicab Ordinance, but reducing the insurance requirement from $2 million <br />to $1 million and eliminating the provision concerning the findings related to public <br />necessity and convenience. <br />The roll call vote was as follows: <br />AYES: Councilmembers - Ayala, Michelotti, Pico and Mayor Tarver. <br />NOES: None <br />ABSENT: Councilmember Dennis. <br />ABSTAIN: None <br /> <br />Item 6g <br />Appointments to the Planning Commission. (SR98: 102) <br /> <br /> Mayor Tarver said one of the most difficult duties he has as Mayor is trying to make a <br />determination as to who to select out of a large number of very qualified candidates. <br /> <br /> It was moved by Mayor Tarver, and seconded by Mr. Hco, to appoint Trish Maas, <br />Mary Roberts, and Matt Sullivan to the Planning Commission. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti wanted to thank all the applicants. She said there were many qualified <br />applicants. The staff report indicated that Robert Wright was not eligible for a four year term, <br />but he was eligible for a two year term. She felt the City was losing a valuable commissioner <br />in Robert Wright and thought he would serve as a bridge to the future. She supported the new <br />appointments and had spoken to all the appointees to congratulate them. <br /> <br /> Mayor Tarver said it was his decision not to appoint someone for less than four years. <br /> <br />Pleasanton City Council 19 4/21/98 <br />Minutes <br /> <br /> <br />
