Bill
Summary R: Defer The Love substitute was moved. Cherry Shaw, Office of General Counsel, reviewed the
changes in the TEU Substitute (erroneously labeled Rules Sub). Jack Shad answered questions about how the
new regulations would apply (to all vehicles- for- hire) and how the proposed
database of vehicles for hire drivers would work. Grady Braddock, Jr., representing the local
vehicles-for-hire industry, said that they have not been privy to the
continuing changes to the bill and want to be consulted before major changes
are made to the industry. There were questions about potential City legal liability. A Joost amendment would require the
creation of a driver database by Decemmber 31, 2013. Mr. Crescimbeni’s proposal would make the
whole ordinance effective when the database is created and ready. The Council
President will discharge the item from Rules for the next Council meeting
(Tuesday, October 22nd). SUB-APPROVE 6-1
