Public Hearinq -H.P.
Deerfield Limousine Service
Application for License
byV the President. The applicant,
Highland Park, was not present.
The public hearing on the issuance of a
Certificate of Public Convenience and
Necessity to the Highland Park - Deerfield
Limousine Service was called to order
Mr. Anthony G. Harris, 3553 Buena Road,
MIR
Mr. Don Replogle, 1834 Lehigh, Glenview, owner of Amms Airport Service,
expressed stvong opposition to the licensing of all livery services picking uh
persons who have ordered their service. He stated that if Deerfield required
a license fee of $10 per vehicle from every operator of a livery service, other
municipalities would follow suit, and they would be forced out of business.
if only Deerfield charged a license fee, the cost to Deerfield residents would
be increased or service discontinued. He added that taxicabs can not take the
place of limousine services since they will not accept appointment pickups.
Mr. and Mrs. Egan, owners of Midway Limousine Service, LakeForest, stated
they were licensed and inspected in Lake Forest, where they maintain their
place of business. They do not obtain licenses in any other municipality,
although they pick up people in 12 to 14 cities and villages. Mr. Sylvester,
another owner, also objected to the Deerfield ordinance, and the legality of
the ordinance was questioned.
A lengthy discussion ensued. The manager was requested to inquire whether
nearby municipalities license all livery services providing service to residents
or only those who maintain offices in the municipality. The owners stated
they were licensed only in the municipality where they operate their business,
are registered with the State, and carry insurance in excess of that required
by law.
Copies of the livery service ordinance will be sent to the operators.
The manager was directed to call Mr. Harris, the applicant, to discover if
he planned to open his business office in Deerfield or only to pick up persons
who request his service.
President Finney and Board members assured the operators it was not
their intentl:6n.i to deprive Deerfield residents of a useful service, but only
to protect residents. The matter will be taken up at the regular meeting on
May 2, 1966.
There being no further business, on motion by Trustee Raff, seconded
by Trustee Craig, the meeting was adjourned at 9 :45 p.m.
