SUMMARY
AGENDA ITEM
Ground Transportation Application
ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT
City Secretary / City Attorney
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Chapter 29, City of Killeen Code of Ordinances, provides the manner by which an operating authority permit is granted. An operating authority is for ground transportation services other than taxicabs. An applicant must file an application, fee, and supporting documentation. The application has been reviewed by the City Manager and Killeen Police Department.
DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION
Ambiance Limousine has been granted a ground transportation permit in the recent past and has operated in Killeen without incident. Due to the company’s late submission of last year’s annual renewal, per the City’s ordinance, Ambiance Limousine had to re-apply for a permit. The application is complete and provides for a limousine service and airport shuttle from any established pick-up point in Killeen. As indicated on the application, the company will operate three vehicles, a 2014 Chrysler Stretch Limousine with a seating capacity of 10, and two 2011 Ford E350 Vans with a seating capacity of 14 each. Operating authority permits expire on December 31st of each year. In order to renew the authority, the holder must submit a written request for renewal.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the City budget.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council vote to permit a ground transportation authority to Ambiance Limousine and Transportation, LLC.
