Moved by Councilor Roberts-Burns that proposed ordinance be passed. Motion seconded by Councilor Ammons. Councilor Ginnings expressed concern about the need for the applicant to address the public necessity requirement. He asked that the applicant address Council in a convincing manner on the necessity. City Attorney mentioned that there needs to be proof of public convenience and necessity and it is the applicant's burden to meet that requirement. The applicant has met the financial requirement. In order for Council to authorize a franchise you need to determine if there is a public convenience and necessity. Jody Wade, 7712 Highway 79, owner of Presidential Transportation, spoke against the proposed ordinance referring to the character and responsibility of the applicant. He said that this is a family squabble between father and son. You have a son who wants to compete against his father. He mentioned several instances and displayed pictures of what he alleged were vehicles owned by the applicant that were being operated illegally. He mentioned over-charging, no official office, and other items. He stated that the applicant does not abide by the Vehicle Ordinance. He has not proved the public convenience and necessity. These ordinances were written for the safety of the public and they have been in place for a long time. Claudio Ramirez, Jr., 2401 McNeil, applicant, mentioned that the necessity is that our City is growing. For instance there is a 3`d Wal-Mart that is coming in and people need transportation there and to the doctor or hospitals and they should not have to wait two hours for transportation. I use my van but I also abide by the one hour reservation time frame, and we charge the required $15 flat rate. He stated that Mr. Wade has a handicap van that he uses on Saturdays and loads it up and charges whatever he wants. He prefers to service the Base, but I support the working people and anyone who needs transportation. On Friday and Saturday nights we do not have enough cabs to support the need. I do not take pictures and I do not like to complain. Mr. Ramirez clarified that he was asking for ten permits. Alex Ramirez, 2013 Elizabeth, spoke against the proposed ordinance, stating that he agreed with Mr. Wade's allegations. He stated that Claudio Ramirez, Sr. is his father, and they are going to fill every permit authorized to them. There is not enough business to occupy four cab companies. Jose Ramirez, 912 N. Broadway, stated that both are doing their on thing and are violating the Code. He opposed the issuance of a new franchise. He stated that the applicant does not abide by the City Ordinance. He has not addressed the complaint to the Better Business Bureau. I asked him to discipline his drivers and he has not. Claudio Ramirez, Jr. said that he did respond to the complaint and he charged accordingly, $10 to move a person. Kevin Callahan, 1760 Victory, stated that they are considering investing in a cab company in Wichita Falls and today Council can see why. I suggest that this Ordinance be reviewed and strengthened in areas so that anyone who wants to play in the game can. On the public necessity and convenience, I believe we can prove public convenience and necessity. I request that Council put this Ordinance under review before anything is done. 867 Item 8d continued Councilor Ginnings called for the question. Councilor Elmore seconded and motion carried by the following vote.

There was no objection from the Council Motion carried with the removal of the East Lynwood Neighborhood allocation item. Ayes: Mayor Lyne, Councilors Ginnings, Ammons, Roberts-Burns, Hatcher, and Gonzalez Nays: None Councilor Ginnings clarified that this approval was subject to removal of the East Lynwood Neighborhood item. City Manager asked for direction on that item, because as the vote occurred there is no funding for East Lynwood Neighborhood Program. Councilor Roberts-Burns requested that a separate agenda item be assembled for the next council meeting on this specific item. Item 10a There were no Staff reports. Item 10b Councilor Roberts-Burns asked that staff look into having a retirees' banquet or reception honoring them for their work and asked that, if possible, that this be completed before the end of this year. City Manager informed that Staff is working on that. Councilor Ginnings referred to the Vehicle for Hire Ordinance and proposed that the following item be included: Allow unused permits to the extent of 10% of those filled or used permits rounded to the nearest whole number with not less than one unused permit for each franchise, to be determined annually. The effect would be to revoke all unused permits subject to the above provision. City Attorney stated that staff will work on drafting that and it would be an amendment to that ordinance. Councilor Ginnings stated that the formula would provide that a business could have unused permits, but I would envision that there would be a state of flux during the year and each year it would need to be looked at. We would then limit the number of unused permits in that manner. City Manager commented that since the Council Ordinance Subcommittee is going to be looking at the Vehicle for Hire Ordinance, this would be something they could look at. Mayor agreed. 870 Item 10b continued Councilor Hatcher informed that the Race for the Cure was held this last week end and Councilor Ginnings finished in First Place in his category and his wife also finished first in the women's category. He congratulated him. Councilor Gonzalez stated that the past weekend there were so many different events that he, Mayor Lyne, and Councilor Ginnings kept running into each other. There are a lot of things happening and things are alive and kicking in Wichita Falls. He attended a charity event at the Farmers Market and he felt that the Farmers Market is a great asset to the City and we should use it more. Councilor Ammons agreed with Councilor Ginnings regarding his proposed formula. She asked that the Transferability of Franchise section in the Vehicle for Hire Ordinance be reviewed. She did not think franchise permits should be transferred but should revert back to the City once a franchise no longer exists. Councilor Ammons asked for an update on the house that burned on 8th Street. Mr. Bobby Teague presented an update. Mayor Lyne commented that City Staff continues to do well. Chief Bachman has been under stress and he appreciates the way he has handled things. Mayor Lyne stated that we have an illusion or maybe a naivety that we don't have gangs in certain parts of town or shootings in certain parts of town, but I think it is a citywide problem and it requires citywide help from our citizens. We can hire a thousand officers but we still could not do what some people want us to do which is to have personal guards. It takes a lot of folks to make a city work and quite often we get that done through our neighbors. I know we are under-staffed at the Police Department and we are working on that. If you know somebody that is interested give them an application. We need good men and women. Let's encourage our young people. Mayor Lyne expressed appreciation to the Staff in how they respond to things. Item 11 City Council went into Executive Session at 12.05 p.m. as authorized by Section 551.071 of the Texas Local Government Code.
