She said many of her drivers had complained about the fee increase and December was the busiest ' time of year. She requested the licensing procedure be changed to another time of year. City Attorney Zimmerman said the posting of licenses in the taxicabs was a safety precaution for passengers. City Clerk/Treasurer Oestreich said the fee increase from five dollars to twenty-five dollars placed more responsibility on the taxicab drivers and barely covered the expenses incurred in the licensing process. Ms. Oestreich said if the ordinance was not passed another extension of the current taxicab licenses would be necessary.
