Subject:
title
Adopt Resolution No. 2019-13 adopting revised Orange County Taxi Administration Program (OCTAP) regulations and approving for introduction Ordinance No. 4178 amending Huntington Beach Municipal Code Chapter 5.48 relating to Taxi Cabs
body
Statement of Issue:
With the implementation of Assembly Bill 1069 (Low), the regulation of taxi cabs in the State of California has changed dramatically and required all cities which previously had adopted similar ordinances for inclusion in the Orange County Taxi Administration Program (OCTAP) to amend those ordinances based on the new law. This Council Action seeks to amend the City's Municipal Code Chapter 5.48 relating to Taxi Cabs. The amendment retains the OCTAP partnership and adopts the OCTAP regulations as approved by the OCTAP Steering Committee.
Financial Impact:
None with this action. On December 17, 2018, City Council authorized the City Manager to execute Cooperative Agreement No. C-8-2015. This agreement specifies that the City's funding share of OCTAP is 6.04% or $5,943.21 in FY 18/19, $14,306.84 in FY 19/20 and $10,634.91 in FY 20/21. Funding is included in the City Manager's annual budget 10030101. The share is based on population and the costs are estimates and could be adjusted slightly each year.
Recommended Action:
recommendation
A) Adopt Resolution No. 2019-13, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach Adopting Revised Orange County Taxi Administration Program Regulations;" and,
