Introduction
Randy Busch, owner and operator of Southwest Metro Taxi, 823 Cortland Circle,
Shakopee, MN 55379, has applied for a Taxicab License in order to provide taxi
service for the residents of Prior Lake. Southwest Metro Taxi has one vehicle it
will use in Prior Lake and the possibility of two different drivers working in the
City. At this time there are no other taxicab companies licensed in Prior Lake.
Southwest Metro Taxi has completed the application and provided the City with
proof of insurance and a copy of the vehicle inspection report. They have also
paid the $100.00 license fee. The Prior Lake Police Department has completed
its investigation of Randy Busch and Southwest Metro Taxi and has found no
reason to deny the application.
The City Council has the following alternatives:
1. Adopt a motion as part of the consent agenda approving the taxicab
license request for Southwest Metro Taxi.
2. Deny the taxicab license request.
