ACTION REQUESTED:
Title
Communication from the City Manager and Corporation Counsel with a Request to DEFER UNTIL MAY 12, 2015, the ADOPTION of an ORDINANCE Permitting TRANSPORTATION NETWORK CARRIERS to Operate Within the City of Peoria.
Body
BACKGROUND: On March 24, 2015, the First Reading of an Ordinance permitting Transportation Network Carriers, hereinafter "TNC's", was before the City Council. At the City Council meeting, staff was directed to continue to research "best practices" in this developing business model and how other municipalities regulated this industry. In addition, City Council Members also expressed their view that traditional "taxi" companies be given a level playing field. This deferral will allow staff to interface with representatives of other municipalities and exchange ideas with other jurisdiction relative to regulations of TNC's and taxis.
Staff will be attending a legal conference on this topic and respectfully requests this item to be deferred to the regular City Council meeting on Tuesday, May 12, 2015.
