MEMORANDUM
DATE: October 19, 1990
TO: Lloyd Y. Harrell, City Manager
FROM: Max Blackburn, Risk Manager#pS
SUBJECT: TAXI RATE INCREASE ORDINANCE
The ordinance was discussed with Legal and it was decided to
eliminate an ending date for the temporary rate based on the
uncertainty of time involved in passing a permanent ordinance
(eg., City Council agenda, public hearings, etc.) I anticipate
having the permanent ordinance available for the the November 6t
1990 Council meeting. The $1.3u per mile ($0.13 per 1/10 mile]
rate will be viable under either ordinance unless there is a
dramatic increase or decrease in gasoline prices within the next
few weeks.

CITY COUNCIL REPORT FORMAT
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Lloyd V. Harrell, City Manager
SUBJECT: TAXI SERVICE RATE INCREASE REQUEST }
' r
Background:
In 19890 the Denton Taxi Service requested an increase in their rates
based on inflation, decrease in profits, and the lack of an increase since
1980. The City Council, after public hearings, approved a rate increase to:
Pickup: $1.30
Time: $0,25/90 seconds
Mileage: $1.10
At the time of the 1989 rate increase, gasoline was available at
approximately $0.97 per gallon resulting in taxi cab companies using about
twenty-two 1221) percent of their net income for gasoline. Taxi cab companies
now pay $1.27 per gallon after discount.
f Evaluation:
All cities in the metroplex who regulate taxi rates are confronting the
problem. For example, Dallas taxi cab companie: have requested a temporary
per mile). Dallas is in the process of
1 rate increase ($1.00 to ,11.50
convening a public hearing on the subject.
Since the 1989 rate increase, gasoline prices have increased by thirty
1301) percent resulting in taxi cab companies using about one-third of their
'after driver' income for gasoline.
i
Denton Taxi Service is requesting a temporary rate increase of $0.20 per
mile to a $1.30 rate based on current and projected gasoline prices.
As we well know, gasoline prices will endure extreme volatility for the
foreseeable future depending upon world events and it is possible that
gasoline prices could decrease as rapidly as they have increased. It would
appear that a sliding scale would be appropriate.
Recommendation:
1. Recommend approval of a rate increase to the requested $1.30 per mile
for a period of thirty (30) daps.

The Risk Manager will be respovalble for verifying gasoline prices paid by 4
' the taxi companies.

DATE: July 120 1989
TO: Lloyd V. Harrell, City Manager
FROM: Haclan L. Jefferson, Risk Manager
SU&IECT: DENTON TAXI SERVICE RATE INCREASE REQUEST
RECOMMENDATION A
After evaluating the Denton Taxi Service's request for an increase in their
rates (Attachment 1), we recommend increasing their present pick-up cats, time
rate, and mileage rate.
1
EVALUATION r
There are basically four factors that contribute to the need of a rate
increase by the Denton Taxi Service. These factors are as follows: j
o The level of inflation since the last taxi service rate,
increase 1
3 1
o A decrease in the company's net profit while their gross
income increased substantially
14
o A survey of taxicab rates among metropolitan titles
o The frequent change in owners of the Denton Taxi Service
during the 1980's
The present taxi rates were enacted in 1980. Since that time, the Consumer
Price Index foe the Dallas/tort worth area (which is a measure of inflation)
increased 48.21. Although they probably did not experience an increase in all
of their expenses that corresponded with the Consumer Price Index, increases r i
certainly occurred in wages, rent, utilities, advertisement, licenses,
maintenance, materials, supplies, etc.
Secondly, a review of Denton Taxi Service's financial records indicate that I
i their gross income increased by 261, while their net profit decreased by 21%,

Memo to Lloyd V. Harrell
July 12, 1989 1
page 2 of 3. 1
This was primarily caused by more than a 1001 increase in auto insurance, from
approximately $50400 to $10,865e Additionally# their auto maintenance cost
increased by more than 8001, from approximately $1,338 to $11#531. When one
considers the 261 increase in their growth margin, you have to conclude that
they are being utilized by more citizens and making less money while doing so.
Thirdly# we conducted a survey of taxicab rates in the metroplex to determine
how compatible the proposed rate increase is to other rates in the area. The
following are the results of the aurveyi
TABLE I
RATE CATEGORIES
_ CITY Pick-Up Time Mileage
Addison $1.30 $0.25/90 Sec. $1.00
Arlington $1.30 $0.25/90 Sec. $1.00
Dallas $1.30 $0.25/90 Sec. $1.00
Denton (Current) $1.20 $0.20/90 Sec. $1.00
Denton (Proposed) $1.30 $0.20/45 Sec. $1.10
Irving $1.30 - $1.00
.80
$
Lewisville $2,50 $0.30/90 sec. $1.00
Plano '
Of the proposed rate change, the pick-up rate is consistent with other citiesi
however, the time rate is higher than that of other cities and the mileage
rate is slightly higher than that of other cities. These rates must be
i compared with two points in mind. First, other cities are also considering
I adjustments in their taxicab rates. Secondly, each city has to design its
rates according to the characteristics of its community. In Denton, i
passengers often stop at several locations during one trip and ask the driver
to wait. Under the present rate structure, the taxi brings in considerably
f less revenue while waiting for passengers, as opposed to transporting them. q
The impact of the time rate increase is exhibited in the table below, which 4
1 compares the average cost of a five-mile trip between the present rates and
proposed totes,

Fi,ally, It is possible that the frequent change in ownership of the Denton
Taxi Service may be related to the profitability of the company. (During the
last nine years, the company has changed owners thcea times.) Without taking
steps to improve their profit margin, they will continue to experience
difficulties. Apart from a rate increase, the owners should also consider
methods of reducing their expenses. Although they have limited control over
their insurance premiums, an expense reductiaa can be accomplished by
implementing a vehicle replacement program for older taxicabs with high
maintenance costs.
It is recommended that the City Attorney's office be asked to prepare an
ordinance implementing the request as made by the Denton Taxi Service. We
have provided you with a copy of the present ordinance (Attachment II),
j
council may want to schedule a public hearing at the same time the ordinance
is formally considered.

If you have any questions or cociments, please do not hesitate to contact me.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
{
TOt MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL "
FROM Lloyd V. Herre11, City Manager
RE: CONSIDER "WEEKEND USE" ELECTRIC RATE a
SUMMARY
Subsequent to a City Attorney's office opinion that the
Religious Worship (RW) electrical rate is probably unlawful,
the Utility Board, at the request of the Council, reviewed
(Exhibit
develop board twmeetin. o alternativest
this . issue The Board their directed b staff , to 1990
11). The Board directed staff to develop two altgernativest
1. Conduct further investigations into and, if possible,
develop a "weekend use" rate that would be applicable
to any adversely caffect rexisting rate structures and revenuesf
and,
2. Develop an administrative procedure for determining
qualifications for placing customers on the existing
Religious Worship rate, which would be renamed "Weekend
cost that of those service taseis now would the came continue with
Use Rate" pay their full such
the RW customrirs.

"WEEKEND USE" RATE; ALTERNATIVE
The first alternative can be met by some modification of
Denton's existing "Time of Use" rate for General Service,
(TGS) i.e., commercial customers. This TGS rate would be as
follows and is compared to the GS (Commercial) rate and the
RW rate:

Fuel Ad)ustment Charge 1.90/KWH 1.90/KWH 1.90/XWh
(1) Charged to maximum We occurring during "on peak" hours which
are defined as those hours between 1 PM and 8 PM weekdays, +

during the summer months of June, July, August, September.
(2) Charged to the maximum KW's occurring on any hour of the month 11
other than "on peak" hours defined above.
(3) Charged to the maximum KW's occurring on any hour of the month.
No charge for the first 20 KW.
(4) Charged to the maximum KW's occurring on any hour of the month.
No charge for the first 5 KW.
I Exhibit III includes usage graphs of several existing RW
E customers and a graph and associated tabulation of bills with
the above-listed rate schedules. The TOS rate 16 very ~

requirements on the weekend and do not exceed 201 of that peak
during Denton's system peak usage time.

ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE ALTERNATIVE
A possible administrative approach would be to conduct an
on-site investigation of each customer who requests the "Weekend
Use" rate and test or estimate their proposed summer peak usage
as compared to their non-peak usage, and if their summer peak
usage was less that 501 of the non-peak
rateage, they would be
allowed on the "Weekend Use" rate, would be the s
as the existing Religious worship rate but would have a 131
$ increase to the Demand cost,
On all such customers, the Utility would install a time of use
meter which would require a $10 per month increase in the
Facility Charge. If, during the months of June, July, August }
and September, the customers "on peak" demand exceeded the off
peak demand by 501, the customer would be automatically
transferred to the GS rate unti- the following June billing when
E they would be automatically transferred to the "Weekend Use
I rate provided they did not exceed the 501 rule. ±
The Utility could, for a fee, also install a sensor device on
the meter so that if peak hour usage approached the 501 rule, it
could either provide an alarm at a designated location or
automatically shut down selected large loads to prevent
exceedlny the 501 rule.
The Utilit devices. The pcustomer mustidinstall e their oownsalarmhortload
control system that operates from signals produced by the device
on the meter.
AGENCIES AFFECTED
Citizens of Denton, Church Organizations, City Council, Public
Utilities Board, Legal Department.
FISCAL SUMMARY
Transferring all RW customers to the GS rate would increase
revenues by $75,465. Customers with less than 25-30 KW will
experience a reduction in electric bills; larger customers will
experience increases from 20-301.
Providing a "Time of Use" rate will provide approximately the
same revenue for "weekend
use" tifetheiruuseoisdsimilar
in rates of 2 200-3030%1 more than presently
to Denton's commercial customers.
i
f
t
o.,
r~
i
4
Utilizing an "Administrative" solution would have no change in
Denton's revenues or to the customers provided they qualified
under the 50% rule.
Both latter alternatives would require installation of a $700
electric meter but this cost would be recovered via the
$10/month higher facility charge,

CITY OF' DENTON
MEMORANDUM
DATE: October 19, 1990
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM. Lloyd V. Harrell, City Manager
SUBJECT: RESULTS OF ISM EXECUTIVE PLANNING SEMINAR
As you may recall, the City's Executive Staff, along with the
Personnel and Information Services Director, participated in an
Executive Planning Seminar provided by IBM on July 24th, 25th and
26th. ISM provided the complementary training to give our staff
strategic planning skills that will strengthen the council-
management team and help us jointly implement initiatives that will
guarantee future organizational success. While it would have been
ideal to have had Council along to participate and provide
immediate feedback, it would almost impossible for everyone to
devote the required time to the task. Therefore, it is hoped that
our strong sense of teamwork allowed the staff to reflect Council
sentiments. This was our intention.
The session had several objectives. The first was to develop a
foundation and common terms for planning so that we could
incorporate strategic planning into our everyday organizational
life. The second was to develop visions of a successful city
organization at the planning horizon 1995 based on the common
sense of direction that Council and staff have worked together to
accomplish. Third was to develop or refine a mission statement
I that will enable us to be successful. Fourth was to identify
strategic opportunities to achieving success by evaluating our
governmental competitors, service markets and service menu. The a
3 fifth and final objective was to introduce high impact planning to
activate these changes.
9
} These objectives were met by undertaking three days of intensive
work (averaging 10 hours per day) involving an assessment of the
current organization, identifying strengths and weaknesses, seeking
opportunities to do new and better work and formulating strategies
to pursue those future opportunitie3.
i The session provided numerous benefits for the management staff.
We were able to build consensus on where the organization currently
is, consensus and direction on where the organization wants to be,
and agreement on the strategic opportunities that we feel will lead
to future success. The next step is to make sure that we as
managers are on target, with City Council's direction,

regarding the outcomes of the session.
Attached is the outcome of the session. Attachment I includes a
mission Statement that we believe best articulates where City
Council and staff would like to be in five years. This is followed
by a list of five success elements that we feel are necessary to
make the mission statement a reality. These success elements then
outline strategies which will allow us to take advantage of
opportunities and accomplish our goals.
Attachment II is a package of other materials that provide detail
to the mission statement, success elements and strategies. It is
i a paper trail of the process that we undertook to establish our
goals.
The Executive Staff has met with the Department Directors to
discuss the results of the session. They concur with our
assessments and are prepared to begin work on action plans.
However your review and approval is needed in order to ensure that
we are properly articulating the desires of the Council. We are
prepared to visit any of these subjects and make any revisions that s
you deem necessary.
