The City Manager summarized staff recommendations for approving taxi fare increaseSl 30~ additional for the first milet with no change in the fare for additional mileage increments; waiting time at the rate lO~ per minute in lieu of lO~ for each 1 1/2 minutes; standing and cruising rates $2.00 per hour additional. Mr. George Kersey, ABC Taxit requested favorable action on the pro~osed inc~ease6, explaining that the current rates had been unchanged for the past 6 yearst that operating expenses had increased considerably and that the rate changes approximated' those authorized for Tampa and st. Petersburg. Mr. John Rankin, 1868 Greenhill Drivct objected to the proposed increases stating that cost data had not been presented to support the recommended rate changes. He suggested various alternative increases and recommended partial increases on an interim basis pending complete presentation of cost data in support of definitive rate of adjustments. , Mr. Roland Levenst Checker Cab of Clearwater, Inc't stated that he was willing to show the company's financial statements and reported that the company had sustained' considerable operating losses since beginning operations in April, 1973. Discussion followed on costs of operation and reasonable charges for handling personal packages. Again Mr. Rankin expressed his concern for the establishment of rates based on actual costs. The Police Chief commented on the number of additional operating permits granted during the past year and stated that taxi meters were subject both to city and state inspections. He stated that his department conducts inspection of the quality of taxi service and that the department. to his knowledge. has received no complaints on se~vice from the public. He stated his opinion that the 30~ increase for the first mile was an equitable price adjustment. Commissioner Williams left the meeting at this time. In response to Commissioner Hall's question on operating costs. the Police Chief stated that the Police Department made~lno,'financHal peviaw:of .co1p.panY~Qpetla;tillg expenses. Commissioner Hall stated that he was not satisfied with failure of several of the taxi companies to provide the cost data requested by the City Manager. Hr. Don Gonce, Clearwater Yellow Cab Co., Inc., stated the need for an increase in fares on short tri~6 and commented on general cost category increases over the past 5 years: (Gasol~ne - ~5', oil ~ 20\, labor - 100\, tires and acccss- ol'ies - 40 to 50%). He stated that the company did not itemize its costs on a mileage basis but had petitioned for an increase in fares based on expenses tabulated over previous years' operation. He stated his opinion that a 30~ increase for the first mile was not sufficient to provide a reasonable profit. Commissioner Hall agreed with comments made on the trend in rising costs but stated his interest in obtaining detailed cost breakdowns. <". . ;, ~ ' .. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~. ri.:.:7C~7"""':.

Commissioner Wachtler moved that Ordinance #1494 be read and considered by title only on the first reading. Hotion was seconded by Commissioner Hall. Commissioner Jall expressed his concern that the public be assured of competency among'those businesses "grandfathered" under the proposed Ordinance. The Building Director expressed his belief that existing companies should not be legislated out of business' to protect the public the Ordinance would create a board of examiners (SectIon 112) designated to review charges of. Code viOlations. Commissioner Hall stated his interest in seeing that all companies licensed under the Ordinance are in fact fully qualified under the Code standards within a two-year period. Following the City Attorney's observation that the board of examiners can revoke a certificate of competency for cause, motion for first reading carried unanimously, The Ordinance was read by title only.

Lots 34 and 35, Bayside Subdivision 02 - V. Kostreba. The City Manager presented his recommendation to confirm the previous (December 17th) Commission denial of the Kostreba request for back-out parking. Request had been scheduled for today's meeting because applicant's attorney had stated that he had not been notified of the previous meeting and, therefore. had not had the opportuni ty to present the Kostreba position. lir. Donald McFarland, attorney and applicant's representative, reaffirmed his earlier statement that he had not been notified of the previous meeting and asked for Commission approval of the Kostreba request on the basis of similar parking arrangements on other properties along Bright'o1ater Drive. Mr. l1cfarland displayed sited plans for the project and explained that acoident statistics pertaining to baok-out parking did not apply he~e beoause Brightwater Drive is a oul-de-sao with no through t~affic. Under a revocable permit the City could cancel the authorization at any time should the need arise. He pointed out the existing pa~king arrangements at the site and explained that 3 additional spaces were required in extension of this area for required parking in support of the building project. Commissioner 1211 moved for approval of the 3 additional parking spaces requested. to become effeotive when the building permit is actually issued. :1otion was seconded by Commissioner Wachtler. The Traffic Engineer described alternative plans which would revise the parking layout and eliminate back-out parking. The~' Mayor noted that there was adequate room for off-street parking on this property. Mr. McFarland agreed with this statement but orotested that a rearrangement of parking would require elimination of the swimming pool. Motion for approval was then voted and carried unanimously. The City Manager expressed his concern that this approval would set a precedent and questioned Commission policy for review of similar cases. In tho discussion that followed, it was agreed by consent ~hat instances of this kind (where street is not a thoroughfare, where some back-out parking already exists. and where other applicants have not been refused) should be referred for Commission review. Commissioner Hall reaffirmed his support for Commission policy in oPPoBiti~n to back-out parking exoept under mitisating circumstances. , , A~ this time the meeting was recessed by the Mayor for 15 minutes.
