AND THE TAXICAB BUSINESS. (FIRST CONSIDERATION)
Comment: In April the State of Iowa implemented a new procedure for issuance
and/or renewal of drivers license which provides fora 30 day temporary license. To
avoid the necessity of a driver having to return to the City twice, once with the
temporary and a second time with the final issued license, this ordinance clarifies
language that the driver and taxicab business are responsible for ensuring every driver
have a valid chauffeur's license. The City will continue to verify a valid chauffeur's
license prior to adding the driver to the City's authorization list.

a loan at 1 % interest for a maximum term of 7 years. Due to the quality of the
business plan, prior experience and education in the restaurant industry and a history
of paying loan obligations, the committee recommended funding this business
expansion even though the loan will not be fully secured. The loan will be partially
secured by a lien on the owner's personal vehicle. Said project will create six full time
equivalent positions for low-to-moderate income persons. For more information see
staff memo.
