Board agrees to continue taxi‑medallion denial appeal to July 20 for full‑board consideration
Summary
An appellant challenging a Municipal Transportation Agency denial of a taxi medallion asked, and the Board granted, a continuance to July 20 so the full five‑member board can hear the case; simultaneous three‑page briefs were allowed.
The Board of Appeals continued an appeal (10‑026) challenging the Municipal Transportation Agency’s denial of a taxi medallion to July 20 so the matter can be heard and voted on by the full board. Appellant counsel requested the continuance, explaining the appellant preferred a full‑board hearing given close vote outcomes in similar matters; the city offered no objection and parties agreed that July 20 was the most practical full‑board date available.
The board discussed alternatives — hearing the case that night, having the absent commissioner review a video, or continuing. Because of heavy calendars in May and to ensure full participation, the board accepted a motion to continue to July 20. The board imposed a short briefing schedule: simultaneous three‑page briefs and unlimited exhibits due the Thursday prior to the hearing. The continuance was approved by roll call of present commissioners.
Next steps: Appeal 10‑026 will be set for the July 20 board meeting; parties may submit up to three pages of simultaneous briefing (both sides) and exhibits in advance per the board's directions.
