Heusterberg, Chief of Poli������s <br />SUBJECT: Approval of a Taxi Service Operator Permit for AAA Inland Empire <br />Cab Service, pursuant to the Rules and Regulations of previously <br />adopted Resolution adopting rules and regulations. <br />DATE: February 12, 2002 <br />BACKGROUND: <br />Colton Municipal Code Chapter 5.48 sets forth the requirements for obtaining a permit to <br />operate a taxi service within the City of Colton. Currently there are no operators approved <br />to pick up fares within the City limits.

This company is currently permitted to provide service in <br />numerous surrounding communities, and believes that a market exists within the City of <br />Colton. In reviewing the application, the Police Department has determined that AAA <br />Inland Empire Cab Company meets the requirements of the Colton Municipal Code <br />relating to Taxi Service Operators. Upon approval of their Operator Permit, each of the <br />company's drivers will be required to obtain a separate Driver's Permit prior to being <br />permitted to operate within the City of Colton. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: <br />None. <br />FISCAL IMPACT: <br />None <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />
