The Ci ty Manager read Eugene Code Secti on 3.050 setti ng forth the basis upon which such licenses are granted. He reviewed the records of the police department involving the applicant as contained in a memorandum distributed to the City Council and reaffirmed the staff's recommendation to deny the application. Public hearinq was opened. Richard Glade Shimanek, Rt. 4 Box 251, Dillard Road, Eugene, felt the basis for the application denial was his mental illness. He stated he was on leave from the State mental hospital. He did not intend to drive taxi cab full time but to do maintenance and dispatch work and to oenerally supervise the drivers of the cab company which e he and his wife own. He felt the denial of his application had the effect of treating him as a criminal. He stated doctors at the State mental hospital were receiving more complaints about the police departments in this area than in any other area of the state. loOfo Minutes 12/20/76 - 1
