Due to continued violations of parking and route deviation Council took no action to renew the license, therefore it expired at 11:59 PM on September 5. The City has received a new application from the Thirsty Bird Saloon, owner Todd Schaefgen, located at 119 S. Main Street for a Passenger Transportation Vehicle License to take over the Vino Quadricycle operation. The license will expire on June 30, 2024, however per our code, the Police Chief can revoke the license at any time. The Plan of Operation and Route Map are attached and the new licensee has made no changes to the route from the previously approved license. The Plan of Operation also remains the same for days/hours of operation, stops along the route, and licensed drivers with the addition of Todd Schaefgen as a driver. The loading and unloading of the quadricycle will take place at Wingers as well as the vehicle will continue to be parked at Wingers as it has been for the last few months. ADDITIONAL ANALYSIS The pedal tavern is very popular and provides revenue to downtown businesses. It was reported to the City on Sept. 7 that 93 rides have been scheduled through Nov 15th which would generate $37,200 in pedal tavern sales and $27,900 projected sales to local businesses. On average the pedal tavern stops at three other businesses along the route during the 2-hour ride. The vehicle used for this new license is the same quadricycle Vino has used in 2023 and it already passed the Police Dept. inspection earlier this year, therefore a new inspection is not necessary. If this license is approved, the new licensee will provide the City with a Certificate of Insurance before the license is issued by the Clerk. FINANCIAL IMPACT N/A 1 2 RECOMMENDATION Protection and Welfare: Motion to recommend approval of the Passenger Transportation Vehicle License for the Commercial Quadricycle for Thirsty Bird Saloon expiring June 30, 2024 and a Taxi Driver License for Todd Schaefgen. SUGGESTED MOTION Motion to approve the Passenger Transportation Vehicle License for the Commercial Quadricycle for Thirsty Bird Saloon expiring June 30, 2024 and a Taxi Driver License for Todd Schaefgen. 2 3 4 5
