QUANN, ESQ. ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY To: Michael C. Van Milligen City Manager DATE: June 9, 2016 RE: Amendments to City of Dubuque Code of Ordinances Section 4-713-8, Taxicab Business License and Taxicab Driver's Permit INTRODUCTION This memorandum presents for City Council consideration amendments to Title 4, Business and License Regulations, Chapter 7, Vehicles for Hire and Public Transportation, Article B, Motorized Vehicles for Hire, Section 4-713-8. The proposed amendments add ineligibility criteria for a taxicab driver's permit and additional reasons for denial, suspension, or revocation of a taxicab driver's permit. The proposed amendments mirror Iowa Code provisions from the newly passed House File 2414 and make the city ordinance consistent with state law. BACKGROUND With transportation network companies present in some Iowa cities and pending in others, the Iowa General Assembly adopted House File 2414 (HF 2414) which regulates transportation network companies, e.g., Uber, Lyft, Ola Cabs, Wingz, and taxicabs. Governor Branstad signed HF 2414 on May 9, 2016, and the new legislation takes effect January 1, 2017. Section 23 of HF 2414 states: "On January 1, 2017, all local ordinances, regulations, and rules not consistent with this Act are void. However, this Act shall not affect the validity of any proceeding brought or punishment imposed prior to January 1, 2017, for a violation of such a local ordinance, regulation, or rule." In other words, after January 1, 2017, transportation network companies will be regulated by the Iowa Code. To the extent that any local ordinances are inconsistent with the Iowa Code on this matter, local ordinances will be void. DISCUSSION The City Attorney's Office, Police Department, and City Clerk's Office monitored HF 2414 for the past several months while drafting a transportation network ordinance for the City. Once Section 23 of HF 2414 clarified that Iowa Code will regulate transportation networks, City staff shifted focus to ensure that the City's existing regulations for taxicabs were consistent with HF 2414. Based on the broad coverage of HF 2414 for transportation network companies, and in light of the preemption language, there does not appear to be any basis or need for city regulation of transportation network companies. City staff identified ineligibility criteria for a taxicab driver's permit and additional reasons for denial, suspension and revocation of a taxicab driver's permit in the State Code that were not present in the City Code. The proposed amendments to 4-713-8 incorporate these criteria into the City Code, consequently making the City Code consistent with state law. RECOMMENDATION Attached are the proposed amendments to City Code of Ordinances Section 4-713-8. 1 recommend that the City Council adopt the proposed amendments.
