Copies of the present and proposed rate schedules are attached and hereby made a part of these official minutes. Proposed changes on the schedule are as follows:

1. Increase in base rate of $.25 per zone

2. Add Zone 6C

3. When travelling from Zone 2, across Zone 1, to another point in Zone 2, an additional $.25 will be charged.

4. Third and each additional individual will be charged $.35 additional, instead of $.25.

5. When four or more parcels are transported, $.15 per parcel will be charged, instead of $.10, for the fourth and each additional parcel.

6. The charge for stops between the point of origin and point of destination will increase from $.25 to $.50 each.

7. Waiting time charges will increase from $.10 to $.15 per minute for each minute beyond five minutes.

8. The charge for each mile or fraction thereof travelled beyond the City limits will increase from $.70 to $.80.

9. Receipts will be issued on request of passengers.

To questions raised by Aldermen Bartgis and DeLauter, Mr. S. Gordon replied that drivers use good judgment to avoid overcharging senior citizens who may require a little extra time to walk to cabs which are waiting for them. The charge for waiting time is designed to recompense drivers of passengers who stop and visit or ask the drivers to wait for them while the passengers transact business which requires considerable waiting time for the drivers. As the public has not had the opportunity to examine the proposed changes, the matter was continued until the next meeting.

Mayor Young congratulated those present on the tone of the meeting and said he believed an attempt had been made to present all viewpoints well. The airport, according to the Mayor, has not always been an asset; once the City had thought to close it because it was such a liability. To his mind, the proposed increase was stiff. He said though the owners of Frederick Aviation can be difficult, Mr. Patrick and Mr. Caudell have done much for the airport. The Mayor said he did not believe rates would be raised again for one to five years, until development creates some competition on the airport. According to the Mayor, 1 and on the east side of the airport will be available for development by private investors. The motion to approve the increases was passed, with Aldermen Lee, Kreissig, Phillips, and Floyd voting for it, and Alderman Murphy voting against.
