ITEM TITLE: continued Public Hearing - Consideration of Increases of
Taxicab Rates in the City of Chula Vista
Resolution/C07f- Amending Resolution No. 9733 Fixing Taxicab
Rates in the City of Ch~l ~i ta
SUBMITTED BY: ~"(4/5th V
Director of Public :safet{)J s ate: Yes No xx)
On August 22, 1979 the City Council pass d Resolution No. 9733 establishing
the current taxicab rates. We currently have requests from both Yellow and
Diamond Cab Companies to increase these rates.
RECO!&1ENDATION: That Council:
1. Approve this Resolution
BOARD/CO!&1ISSION RECO~1ENDATION: Not ADvlicable.
DISCUSSION:
Yellow and Diamond Cab Companies have both requested that a rate increase
of approximately 11% for the first mile and 25% for each succeeding mile
be approved. Currently the Chula Vista rate is $1.20 for the first one-
fourth (1/4) mile and .20 for each additional one-fourth (1/4) mile. This
amounts to a rate of $1.80 for the first mile and .80 for each succeeding
mile.
The requested increase calls for a rate of $1.20 for the first one-fifth
(1/5) mile and .20 for each additional (1/5) mile. This amounts to a
rate of $2.00 for the first mile and $1.00 for each succeeding mile.
On August 1, 1979, the City of San Diego established a maximum taxi rate
of $1.50 for the flag drop, $1.50 per driven mile and waiting time at
$10.00 per hour. On February 27, 1980 Yellow Cab raised their rates in
San Diego to the level that they are now requesting in Chula vista.
The City of San Diego did not analyze this increase in rates. They have
discontinued the practice of 'analyzing rates because they were coming
up too frequently and they were very costly in terms of staff time. Each
cab company is required to notify the city in writing when they change
rates and nO further action is necessary. Each cab company operating in
San Diego is required to provide an annual operations report to the City.
That is the report that Mr. Hilton referred to at our April 29th Council
meeting and a copy of it is attached.
I was further advised by the City of San Diego that a Council Transit
Committee will be recommending, in the near future, to the full Council
that all governmental controls on taxi rates be lifted. This would be
the final step in a progression from a tightly controlled system of
both the number of cabs and rates to an open system in which the public
and the cab companies would determine the rate based on demand and
competitive rates.
, l't l'S my recommendation that in the future
Based on this informatlon .

and that we simply accept the current maximum rate of $1.50 as it now
exists in San Diego. We must recognize that it is not practical for a
cab company to charge one rate in San Diego and another rate in
Chula Vista. Cabs are not assigned to certain cities but instead they
operate in a number of cities. The cab meters are set at one rate and
therefore they cannot function with multiple rates.

No. 9733 Fixing Taxicab
(4/5ths Vote: Yes
No~)
On August 22, 1979 the City Council passed Resolution 110. 9733 establishing
the current taxicab rates. We currently have requests from both Yellow and
Diamond Cab Co~panies to increase these rates.
REC01~1ENDATION: That Council:
1. Approve this Resolution
BOARD/COMMISSION REC01~lENDATION: Not Applicable.
DISCUSSION:
'ielloH and j)ia~ond Cab Companies have both requested that a rate increase
of a?proximately 11% for the first mile and 25% for each succeeding mile
be ap?roved. Currently the Chula Vista rate is $1.20 for the first one-
fourth (1/4) mile and .20 for each additional one-fourth (1/4) mile. This
amounts to a rate of $1.80 for the first mile and .80 for each succeeding
mile.
The requested increase calls for a rate of $1.20 for the first one-fifth
(1/5) mile and .20 for each additional (1/5) mile. This amounts to a
rate of $2.00 for the first mile and $1.00 for each succeeding mile.
The primary justification for this rate increase is based on the fact
that gasoline prices have increased approximately 25% since August of
1979. These requested rates are currently in effect in the cities of
San Diego, National City, Imperial Beach and within the County of
San Diego. The very nature of the taxi operation in this portion of
the County requires the establishment of the same rate for the City of
San Diego and all the South Bay juriSdictions.
