T. O., Inc., the applicant, and was granted by the City Council on January 6, 1969 and issuance to applicant directed; thereafter the existing cab company took the matter to Court on Writ of Mandamus and the Court stated that the permit previously issued by this Council was invalid in that there was not a finding by this Council as to the fitness, willingness and ability of the applicant to perform the services sought; in addition, the Court stated there was not an express finding that public convenience and necessity required an additional cab company, but the Court had found that this was implicit in the Council's action. The Attorney explained that before the Council now is an inquiry into this one aspect on which the Council should make a finding, as to whether or not the character and qualifications of the applicant are such as to justify the issuance of the certificate. Mayor Grtset opened the public hearing on Petition For Further Consideration by U. T.O., Inc., for Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity to operate vehicles for hire upon the streets of Santa Aha. After some discussion regarding the eligibility of the two new CounciLmen to vote on the matter, the City Attorney stated that the only issue to be determined by the Council was whether or not the applicant was sufficiently qualified to warrant the issuance of a permit; that the Council is a continuing body that would be hearing a new issue pursuant to court order.
