RESOLUTION NO. 2022-
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ANAHEIM DECLARING ITS INTENTION TO AMEND THE
NON-EXCLUSIVE TAXICAB FRANCHISES OF AMERICAN
GROUND TRANSPORTATION, LLC DBA 24/7 TAXI CAB,
AND CABCO INC. DBA CALIFORNIA YELLOW CAB, TO
EXTEND THE TERMS THEREOF UNTIL FEBRUARY 28,
2023, AND ESTABLISHING THE DATE, HOUR AND PLACE
WHEN AND WHERE ANY PERSONS HAVING ANY
INTEREST THEREIN OR ANY OBJECTION THERETO MAY
APPEAR AND BE HEARD THEREON
WHEREAS, the City’s current Taxi Franchises expire on June 28, 2022, and in order to approve any new franchises, a Request For Proposals (RFP) would have been required to have been distributed and returned by early 2022. In light of changes to the rules and regulations governing taxi cabs, and the dismantling of the Orange County Taxi Advisory Committee (the duties of which must be assumed by the City), staff needs additional time to review, finalize and distribute the RFP, and to analyze demand for taxi services and opportunities to implement green measures; and adequate time is necessary to allow the businesses ample time to submit proposals and to have the proposals reviewed and scored.
WHEREAS the City Council of the City of Anaheim desires to extend the terms of the existing franchises of American Ground Transportation LLC dba 24/7 Taxi Cab and Cabco Inc. dba California Yellow Cab to February 28, 2023, so that the above can be accomplished and that future franchises for all taxicabs operating in Anaheim will be awarded at the same time.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Anaheim as follows:
SECTION 1.

SECTION 2.
That the terms and conditions upon which it is proposed to amend said franchises are each of those certain terms, conditions, limitations and representations as expressly set forth in the ordinances granting said franchises, except as amended in the manner described herein.
SECTION 3.
Notice is hereby given that on May 17, 2022, at 5:30 p.m., or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard, in the City Council Chamber of the Anaheim City Hall, 200 South Anaheim Boulevard, Anaheim, California, any persons having any interests in the proposed amendments to said franchises, or any objection to the granting thereof, may appear before the City Council and be heard thereon.
SECTION 4.
The City Clerk is hereby directed to publish this resolution at least once, within fifteen days of the passage thereof, in the official newspaper.
