Committee approves Best Cab driver application; item to appear on council consent agenda
Summary
The Ordinance and Licensing Committee approved a taxi driver and cab company application for Best Cab owner John Betler Wu; the committee forwarded the item to next week's city council consent agenda and discussed permit timing.
The Waukesha City Ordinance and Licensing Committee on Feb. 24 approved a taxi driver and taxicab application for Best Cab owner John Betler Wu and directed the item to the city council consent agenda for next week.
The committee moved to approve the application with a motion recorded as made by Alderson Manion and seconded by Alderson Wiggersen. The chair told the applicant the committee's action would be placed on the council agenda the following week on the consent portion.
Applicant John Betler Wu spoke briefly to the committee, saying he previously had worked as a taxi driver and that he owns Best Cab, which he described as based in Milwaukee with about "50 cars." "But I own the company and I got a company in, Milwaukee. Got about 50 cars," Wu said during his appearance.
Committee members asked whether there were issues in the application record; staff reported there were none. The clerk's office explained that, following council approval, the applicant could expect a permit to be issued the next business day, with the committee noting the council action would be on the consent agenda.
The approval will be placed on next week's council consent agenda; no additional conditions or restrictions were recorded in the transcript excerpt.
