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).
