ITEM TITLE: Ordinance /%// - Amending Section 5 .54 .100 of the Municipal Code
relating to fare rates for taxicabs within the
City of Chula Vista SECOND READING AND ADOPTION
SUBMITTED BY: City Attorney (4/5ths Vote: Yes No x )
BACKGROUND:
At its Council meeting of May 6, 1980, the City Council determined that
they would no longer conduct a public hearing to consider the adjustment
of rates of fare for taxicabs in the City of Chula Vista .
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt ordinance amending Section 5 .54 .100 to eliminate
public hearing requirements .
BOARD/COMMISSION -RECOMMENDATION: N/A
DISCUSSION:
The Council has, for several months, proceeded with a program of deregu-
lation of the taxicab industry in the City of Chula Vista. It has become
apparent that the procedure for conducting a public hearing really amounted
to little more than an acceptance of the rate of fare established in the
City, of San Diego . Further, industry practice would indicate that diver-
gent rates of fare for the same cab company operating 'in two or more
jurisdictions is not really feasible . In addition, it seems that compe-
tition will effectively limit exhorbitant fares, and should that not be
the case as a result of experience, it will be possible to reinstate a
program of regulation.
