TAXIMETER CLARIFICATION - ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 5, ENTITLED "BUSINESS AND LICENSE REGULATIONS," CHAPTER 2, ENTITLED "TAXICABS," TO CLARIFY THAT TAXICABS MUST USE A TAXIMETER TO MEASURE DISTANCE. (FIRST CONSIDERATION) Comment: The City Code was amended in 2011 to provide that that a taxicab must have a calibrated taximeter in order to pass inspection and that rates must be based on time and /or distance. This change was made to make sure that the fee charged was based on the actual distance traveled and time elapsed, and not on the odometer and the driver's watch. Although the intent was that the taximeter must be used to measure distance as well as time, the Code provision is not clear. Recently a driver was charged with not using a meter, and he argued that it was unclear that he had to use a meter when measuring distance. This amendment clarifies that taximeters must be used to measure distance. Action:; lsh C alp T49 t"° ITEM 18. COUNCIL APPOINTMENTS.
