Ste') O
Mayor Boggs asked the applicant to come forward and present any further
testimony, advising that this is not a new hearing, but a continuation of the
hearing of February 9, 1988.
Mr. Steve Neimand, attorney for AM/PM Taxi, 16133 Ventura Blvd., Suite 700,
Encino, explained driver qualifications, stating a driver applying for a job
must bring a recent DMV printout and, if the DMV printout is okay, the applicant
is sent to the City where they will be driving and must apply to that Police
Department for a permit; stated a current DMV printout is required every ninety
days; discussed that it is common practice for taxicab companies to work on a
lease basis; mentioned that company dispatches, supervises, and disciplines
drivers; said company has insurance and provides insurance for the vehicles and
the drivers, and the company is liable for any injuries or damages pertaining to
the vehicles and the drivers; thought his client may have misunderstood the
Chief of Police in operating taxis in the City without a permit; discussed the
need for another cab company in the City; mentioned that AM/PM Taxi was licensed
last week by the City of Norwalk; and stated they also have a shuttle bus
service in Downey that has been operating for approximately one month. Mr.
Neimand submitted to the City Clerk several signed informal petitions containing
approximately seventy signatures in favor of AM/PM Taxi operating in the City.
Mayor Boggs requested those in the audience who wished to speak for or
against this application.
OPPONENTS:
Mr. Duke Perrin, President, Day and Night Cab Company, 13124 Lakewood
Blvd., commented that most insurance companies have DMV printout machines in
their offices; no knowledge of Yellow Cab ever having a license in the City;
said he contacted the City of Montebello and there is no application filed for
AM/PM Taxi; said he contacted the City of Pico Rivera and they have an
application for AM/PM Taxi, but has not been approved; discussed informal
petitions that AM/PM Taxi turned in at the meeting last meeting, which was
obtained from the Senior Citizen's Center; checked on many of the people who
signed the petition and found many of them did not know what they were signing;
mentioned AM/PM Taxi has been denied permits in the Cities of Huntington Park
and South Gate. Mr. Perrin submitted to Council a copy of the Yellow Pages and
said if you look under taxicab, you will see Yellow Cab of Downey and his
telephone number, but if you call information and ask for Yellow Cab of Downey,
you will get AM/PM Taxi.
Mr. Joseph Di Loreto, 9266 Otto St., said he believes in competition and
free enterprise, but questioned if AM/PM Taxi is needed in the City.
Mr. Larry Slago, President, Yellow Cab of Northern Orange County, 1619 E.
Lincoln, Anaheim, discussed low volume of calls received and the need for only
one cab company in the City.
Mr. Steve Kirby, attorney, 1060 Aviation Blvd., Hermosa Beach, discussed on
several occasions where AM/PM Taxi took over other cabs territories and used
their names; submitted to Council copies of Request to Discontinue Orders issued
by two judges against AM/PM Taxi; that Passenger Stage Corporation authority was
received from the Public Utilities Commission and entitles AM/PM Taxi to operate
the shuttle vans on a charter basis in the City; discussed Preliminary
Injunction (submitted to City Clerk for Council) issued against Passenger Stage
Corporation which is the same management
the management of AM/PM Taxi competes by
term people and mimicking their operation
PROPONENTS:
as the applicant AM/PM Taxi; and said
coming into area operataa in by long-
s and taking their business.
Mr. John Vallone, President, AM/PM Taxi, 1520 Court St., Los Angeles, said
he recently turned down a Day and Night Cab Company employee because of his DMV
printout record; and discussed they have grown from three taxicabs in 1986 to
over forty taxicabs today so they must be doing something right.
Mr. John Gonzalez, 12350 Orizaba Ave., feels the more competitive the
taxicab business is in Downey, the better the service for the citizens.
Council Minutes 2/23/88 -2-
�)4-to
Mr. David Williams, 6002 Arburtis, Huntington Park, said the issue is not
whether one company services Downey, but whether the people have a choice of
which company they want to take; and several cab companies service Downey
everyday. He handed the City Clerk more informal petitions in favor of AM/PM
Taxi. Mr. Williams said if you look in the Yellow Page section of any phone
book you will see only one advertisement for a cab company, and that says "AM/PM
Yellow Cab". He further related Day and Night Cab Company is listed in the
phone book under the black pages and people use the Yellow Pages to find a cab
company.
Mayor Boggs called for a rebuttal from the applicant.
Mr. Steve Niemand, attorney for AM/PM Taxi, 16133 Ventura Blvd., Encino,
referenced Mr. Slago's statements commenting on: litigation regarding Yellow Cab
of South Bay saying South Bay Yellow Cab has not had any yellow cabs for eight
years; referenced one recently painted vehicle; making a call for service to
South Bay Yellow Cab, and a cab was dispatched from Long Beach; cab companies
are very competitive and they all have problems; the Preliminary Injunction,
indicating that this order had been granted without hearing any testimony, and
the Judge advised him this morning that the name Yellow Cab of South Bay or
another name similar could not be used; the fact that Day and Night Cab Company
lists other names in the phone book; and finally commenting on other litigation
regarding the super shuttle. Mr. Kirby claimed their vans looked too much like
his gompany's vans even though they are a different color. Mr. Niemand said
this was only a temporary restraining order until March 1st, and noted the judge
had crossed out the portion where they not operate their vans as they look to
much like Mr. Kirby's vans. Mr. Niemand stated the only problems they have had
has been civil litigation with Mr. Kirby's clients. He closed by
saying that AM/PM Taxi has indicated they will serve the citizens of Downey at a
lower rate than they are paying now.
It was moved by Council Member Cormack, seconded by Council Member Paul,
and unanimously carried that the Public Hearing be closed.

property that might have been able to be converted to motel use. Council Member

participate in motel issues now. City Attorney Thorson advised Council Member
Santangelo in lieu of this new information he could vote on the issue.
Community Development Director Cutts presented the staff report as set
forth in Agenda Memo dated February 23, 1988, entitled "Review of Planning
Commission Resolution No. 1087, Recommending To The City Council That They
Consider Adopting An Ordinance Designed To Regulate Development Standards For
Motels". It is staff's recommendation that the Ordinance to regulate motel
developments in Downey be introduced at tonight's meeting. Mr. Cutts said the
Ordinance had been amended on page 3, Section (1) Security, second sentence, to
read "On -site security shall be encouraged by the development of an interior
court yard area, with a minimum width of twenty-five feet (25'), where
applicable. He added that the motel moratorium will expire May 10, 1988.
Mayor Boggs called for those in the audience who wished to speak in favor
of the proposed amendment.
Mr. Fernando Wang, 9565 E. Firestone Blvd., stated Downey proposed motel
Ordinance was the most comprehensive one as compared to others in Los Angeles
County; urged minimum lot size be upgraded from 30,000 square feet to 40,000
square feet; and further urged higher minimum standards to include recreational
vehicle parking. Mr. Wang submitted to the City Clerk, for Council review,
copies of newspaper articles regarding building of hotels in surrounding cities.
Mayor Boggs called for those in the audience who wished to speak in
opposition to the proposed amendment.
Mr. John Gonzalez, 12350 Orizaba Ave., expressed concern that 30,000 square
feet is a lot of land to put into a motel.
Mr. Lennie Whittington, 8542 Manatee St., said he was not entirely against
motel Ordinance, but said that only two motels in Downey meet the requirements,
Embassy Suites and the Travel Lodge; further he did not see any provision for
the small motels already in the City and upgrading them; and lack of
availability of lots the size needed to comply with the Ordinance.
It was moved by Council Member Santangelo, seconded by Council Member
Cormack, and unanimously carried that the Public Hearing be closed.
Council continued this item to March 8, 1988, and requested staff to look
at several concerns, some of which were: dimensions on lot depth; an increase

relates to spaces for recreational vehicles; reduction of number of units by

Public Works Director Ralph presented the staff report as set forth in
Agenda Memo dated February 23, 1988, entitled "Cash Contract No. S.S. 386,
Lakewood Boulevard - Median Landscaping Report on Project and Funding
Alternatives". He suggested consideration be given to another form of financing
as it depletes Highway Funds substantially; and related that the City receives
about $270,000-$280,000 a year in FAU Funds and approximately $300,000 in Gas
Tax that is available for capital improvements. The project at approximately
$900,000 takes a majority of the proposed capital money that might be available.
Council clarified with Mr. Ralph the color coding on the enclosed map. Mr.
Ralph added that the Federal Highway Bill ends in 1991, and the City does not
know if there will be any financing under that program after that date and that
the Interstate Program also ends in 1991. He further clarified that the City of
Bellflower is not likely to share costs as this portion of property is within
the boundary of the City of Downey.
Council discussion included: $500,000 budgeted for the past three to four
years; the possibility of using General Fund monies received from the trade of
Prop A Funds to complete the entire area; priorities, keeping in mind street
light and sidewalk projects; the cost of maintaining landscape medians; and
whether Council should address an assessment district.
The meeting recessed at 10:13 p.m. and reconvened at 10:16 p.m. with
Council Members Boggs, Cormack, Barb, Paul, and Santangelo present.
Mr. Roger Lawrence, 9627 Cheddar St., spoke against the use of Prop A Funds
for median landscaping.
Council Member Barb clarified for Mr. Lawrence that Prop A Funds were
traded to cities with immediate need for General Fund dollars when there was the
Possibility of losing Downey's Prop A Funds and that he is suggesting use of
these converted General Fund dollars.
Hearing no objections, this was continued to the Agenda of the City Council
Meeting on March 8, 1988.
