ORDINANCE No. 1740
ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BURLINGAME
AMENDING CHAPTER 6.36 TO PROVIDE A PUBLIC HEARING AND
RESOLUTION PROCESS TO INCREASE MAXIMUM TAXICAB FARES
The CITY COUNCIL of the CITY OF BURLINGAME does hereby ordain as follows:
Section L Taxicab fares for any taxicab picking up passengers in the City are currently
regulated by ordinance. However, regulation by ordinance makes any changes difficult and time-
consuming and the fare levels have not been increased for over a decade. This ordinance will
change the regulation to provide for fare increases by resolution, so that the process may be
simplified.
Section 2. Section 6.36.110(d) is amended to read as follows:
(d) Rates. Itis unlawful for the owner or driver of any taxicab in the city to fix, charge, or
collect for a service a rate more than the rate approved by resolution of the city council.
Applications for any adjustment in rates shall first be filed in writing with the city clerk, setting
forth justification for such adjustment and requesting a hearing thereon. The application shall
include a comparison to rates being charged in other cities in San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties.
The city council shall set the matter for hearing and any interested person may be heard concerning
the requested adjustment.
Section 3. This ordinance shall be published as
required by law.
