DELEGATIONS
(II)
¡ ,
1.
Moved by Councillor Searle, seconded by Councillor
Kitchen that Mr. O'Leary be heard.
2.
Mr. 0' Leary appeared before Council as a taxi cab owner
in support of the granting of a second taxi brokerage
within the Municipality. He was of the opinion that
the presence Of a second brokerage would break the
existing monopoly and create legitimate competition
within the business that would lead to better service
to the Community. He mentioned a notice in the paper.
wherein the drivers going to the new brokerage had
offered a 10% reduction to the Senior Citizens. He
later learned that this was in violation of the Municipal
By-law and suggested that it be amended to permit this
reduction. Mr. O'Leary also read a letter from Mr.
Norman Hughes, a driver with the Moon Dispatch System,
wherein he listed a number of complaints.
Moved by Councillor Kitchen, seconded by councillor
Searle th~~ Mr. Marshall be heard.
Mr. Marshall spoke in favour of the second brokerage
from the position of a taxi driver. He outlined several
deficiencies that existed within the present brokerage
ranging from inferior equipment to dispatching favouring
certain drivers.
3.
Mr. Paul Tasse, another taxi cab driver, urged Council
to issue the second brokerage licence. He related how
he and other drivers had been denied their livelihood
by the action of the existing brokerage wherein their
cabs had been taken off the air.
Council noted that perhaps Mr. Ralph Mahood, who was
also listed on the Agenda as a Delegation, was not aware
of the fact that the meeting started early, and for
this reason proceeded to the other matters of business
on the Agenda.
