PUBLIC HEARING-RATE INCREASE BY FTVF. CTTTF.S TA.XI CYlMPANV-A.nOp'T' 'RF.~()T.TTTTnM
Administrator Butch reviewed with Council a proposed resolution allowing
a rate increase for the Five Cities Taxi Company and also reviewed a summary
df the taxi cab fare study to give Council an overview of the rates charged
in San Luis Obispo, Paso Robles and Santa Maria.
The hearing having been'properly published and noticed"Mayor Millis
declared it open for public comment. ELIZABETH JACK~ON, 208 Fairview, asked why
the charge of .75~ per extra passenger? LOUISE REYNOLDS, owner of Five Cities
Taxi Company, stated that in case of accident or injury, the more people in the
taxi, the higher the possible liability and therefore the insurance was greater
when more passengers were in the taxi. Mrs. Reynolds also stated that she felt
her rates were still fair to regular local passengers and the bulk of the
increases were for late night driving or out of area trips. MR. HADDOX, 587
Valley Road, asked if someone could use a taxi, rather than an ambulance if they
so desired? Mrs. Reynolds replied that there was no specific policy against
this so long as medical attention was not required because the drivers could
not do that.

REZONING CASE NO. 80-136, Oak Park Acres Tract #604-City Attorney
Shipsey explained to Council' that while this item was originally thought to be
ready for setting of a Public Hearing by the Council, he had reviewed the item
and felt it should be referred back to the Planning Commission to be re-noticed
there. The reason for this is because of the interpretation of which property
owners needed to be notified of. the;first Public Hearing by the Planning Com-
mission. Shipsey felt that even those property owners in the' County or a
surrounding City should' be notified. Council expressed concern that this
process be done correctly and' after discussion the Mayor directed' the item
be referred back to the Planning Commission to be re-noticed.

REPORT ON RECENT.'SLO COUNTY AREA COUNCIL OF GOV'T. MEETING HELD ON MARCH 6. 19SQ
Councilman Gallagher reported on a few points of the recent COG meeting
including, that concern was expressed over the Capital Improvement Board of lJ
Cal-Trans. The problem that came up was that Cal-Trans brought other projects
on stream that were really not part of the recommendation by the COG. There
was discussion of the propriety of such action. There was also discussion
regarding the funding for bicycle paths and most of the area cities felt they
were getting nothing more than road width changes and that funding was only U
used for that purpose and not specifically for bicycle paths and walkways. So
Cal-Trans agreed that the cities could request for the total money and Cal-
Trans would allocate accordingly.

seconded by Councilman Gallagher and unanimously carried directing staff to
write the League of California Cities and appropriate legislators stating the
C~ty of Arroyo Grande's support of item-pricing in supermarkets.and to canvass other
CJ.tJ.€S.
