Coming forward to address the Council on this item were:
Michael Calin - Bell Cab Company, said the March 11 staff report had recommended one franchise or two maximum, and 140 as a sufficient number of cabs, but when more than two franchises were awarded, the City seemed to believe that more cabs may be necessary; said Bell Cab would be satisfied with 35 taxi licenses and suggested that 140 licenses be issued, 35 to each of the four companies, and that if more cabs were needed, additional licenses could be issued; said one-day or two-day permits could be issued for New Year's Eve and other events with a certificate of insurance and make/model of the cars; and
