RACKGROIIND
The City has contracted with San Diego Liquid Gas and Appliance for furnishing
our requirements of liquefied petroleum gas to June 14, 1974. The vendor has
received prior increases of $.092 per gallon.
San Diego Gas and Liquid Appliance has received notification of another increase
from their supplier of $,03 per gallon which was effective January 31, 1974. Due
to this increase they have requested that the City authorize an increase of $.03
per gallon, This increase will raise the unit price to $.312 per gallon, The
increase is within the Federal guide lines established by the Cost of Living
Council under Phase 4,
Considering the current fuel shortage and the problems involved in securing bids,
the cancellation of this contract in lieu of allowing this request is impractical.

AGENDA ITET9 N0. [ ]
CHULA VISTA CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF: February 19, 1974
ITEM TITLE: Public Hearing - Consideration of Increase of Taxicab Fares
Resolution - Amending Resolution No. 6513, fixing taxicab fares
in the City of Chula Vista
INITIATED BY: Director of Finance
BACKGROUND
On December 31, 1973, San Diego Yellow Cabs, Inc. and the Diamond Cab Company
petitioned for approval of taxicab rates granted by the City of San Diego.
We have reviewed the City of San Diego's rate study and taxicab operations and bring
the following observations to your attention:
1. The present indicated expense increases on October 1, 1973, for both companies are
sufficient to raise the operating expense ratio above 98.6 and warrant a rate
increase in taxicab rates. The cab owners' proposed increase of 10~ in the flag-
drop rate (or 4.7~ increase) is not sufficient to lower the operating ratio
below a reasonable level and thus, the proposed lOG increase appears fully
warranted from an economic standpoint.
2. The requested rate would be consistent with the surrounding communities. National
City and Imperial Beach require that rate increases need only be filed with the
City Clerk.
3. Cab meters are operated through the use of mechanical gears which are sealed in
the meter boxes and are not easily changed. If operators are required to have
different rates in Chula Vista, it would inflict an extreme hardship on taxicab
operations.
4. The Mayor should establish an Ad Hoc Taxicab Committee to draft a plan which
would adjust rates in response to expected fuel price increases. This committee
could be composed of two councilmen and one member from each cab company serving
the Chula Vista area.
5. The taxicab rates in the San Diego area will remain amongst the lowest in the
State.
