As presented by Councillor Vagnini:

WHEREAS by-law 2016-145, being the by-law of the City of Greater Sudbury for the Licensing, Regulating and Governing of Vehicles for Hire, requires that Private Transportation Company (PTC) owners provide evidence that a Vehicle for Hire is a model year not more than ten (10) years prior to the year of application or renewal;

AND WHEREAS some Vehicles for Hire are so well maintained that their condition does not reflect their model years, and could continue to be safely operated and transport passengers;

AND WHEREAS the PTC which maintains its vehicles in such excellent condition should have the opportunity to license a vehicle beyond ten (10) model years prior to the year of application or renewal, which could diminish the financial burden of having to replace vehicles unnecessarily;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Greater Sudbury directs staff to review the need for PTC Vehicles for Hire to be a model year not more than ten (10) years prior to the year of application or renewal, and provide recommendations for a specific category of License that allows a Vehicle for Hire which is a model year more than ten (10) years prior to the year of application or renewal to operate, and bring that report back to City Council for its consideration by March of 2020.

AND WHEREAS Phase One of the project is nearing completion;

AND WHEREAS the project has been reported as being on time and on budget;
