This Public Hearing, called pursuant to proper legal notice having been published in the Mount Prospect Herald, is for the purpose of considering the application of Elk Grove Taxi, Inc. to operate a taxicab service in the Village. Mr. Cross, owner of Elk Grove Taxi, Inc. stated that his company presently operates in Bensenville and Elk Grove. It was also noted by Mr. Cross that he is familar with the Village's regulations, as well as PACE, governing taxi cab service and stated that he would comply with them including the senior citizen program. The request is to authorize the issuance of 10 taxi cab vehicle licenses. Randy Moss and Ron Hess representing American Taxi stated that PACE has instituted new regulations governing drug tests for taxi cab drivers that are very difficult to comply with. Mr. Moss stated, and Mr. Cross confirmed, that Elk Grove Taxi, Inc. does not comply with PACE regulations pertaining to drugs but is still receiving funding from PACE. It was also noted that PACE funds the senior citizen taxi program in the amount of approximately $13,000 per year. It was the consensus of opinion of the Village Board that the regulations should be applied equally to all taxi cab companies, and if necessary the Village could fund this program instead of the federal funding distributed through PACE. Mr. Dixon noted that if senior citizens needing a taxi cab call Elk Grove Taxi, Inc. the Village would be reimbursed for the established amount, however if the senior citizen calls American Taxi the Village would receive reimbursement.
