3. Teresa Burton-McMerty of KTN Taxi RE: Proposed Taxi and Limousine By -Law D
Ms. Teresa Burton-McMerty appeared before'Council with concerns with respect to the following:
• age restriction as stated in by-law, being 9 years and newer;
• age of a driver.
Ms. Burton-McMerty noted that she had a petition in her possession that indicates that current customers
and area residents are satisfied with the condition of the vehicles that are currently in use. The petition,
however, was not available or presented to Council.
In response to Ms. Burton-McMerty's concerns, staff replied that the Town wants to ensure that good
looking and safe/mechanically fit vehicles are in operation for this service; and that employees cannot be
discriminated by age, provided the driver holds a valid drivers license.
Staff noted that the proposed By -Law was prepared using the City of London's current By -Law.
Mr. Al Evaniski also appeared before Council and stated that newer vehicles could be purchased, however
if this is the case, metres should be installed, as in the City of London.
The Director of Corporate Services presented comments that had been received from the public, as well
as staff responses.
Following discussion, and hearing Council's comments, Mayor Horton suggested that By -Law 2995 be
amended as discussed, by:
• removing reference to a 9 year age restriction of vehicles, but adding a proviso that would guarantee
that taxi cabs are in safe and good condition; and
• reference to a fare of $4.50 be removed, and allowing the market place to take care of this.
By -Law 2995, as amended, to be brought before Council at its next meeting, scheduled for March 25th,
2002.
