4. Public Comment
Steve Lanett a driver for Whittlesea Blue. He commented that the top floors of all the hotels are being
closed; there is no room on cabstands for cabs to stage; the handicap vans that the companies have
currently are servicing those that are in need of a handicap van no matter what is said; taking 10 cabs
off the road for the next few days, he thought, was a good idea and thanked the companies for doing
that; the next few days will be running rampart with rides due to the holidays and drivers will be able to
make more money. He also commented that a driver was injured at In ‘n Out Burger and the PDA gave
him $500 to help him out.
Public Comment ended.
