Since taxi <br />services were first provided at the SARTC, the City has contracted with a single company to <br />provide taxi services as a convenience for the patrons. The agreement provides revenues to the <br />City to support operations of the Center. <br />The current agreement with the taxi services provider was approved in December, 2005 and will <br />expire on December 18, 2010. To continue providing this important service, staff is recommending <br />that we send out a Request for Proposals to obtain competitive pricing. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br />There is no environmental impact associated with this action. <br />19F-1
