.. ',- e e e 3. First Aid Vehicles: In order to alleviate confusion with ambul ances and the type of servi ces provi ded by ambul ances, we recommend that this type of vehicle be regulated. The recommendations include the type of equipment to be carried. and spell out the type of situations in which anc ambulance is the more appropriate form of transport. Sudans are typically used as first aid vehicles in our city and Eugene Clinic provides that service. 4. Taxi and Limousine Services: Historically, there has been an expressed concern about the character of people driving taxis and limousines and proper identification of drivers and their vehicle. The UBP laws would require the drivers to carry identification and for their vehicles to be marked appropriately. In addition. no one would be allowed to drive a cab who has been convicted of a felony within the past 3 years. or convicted of an offense involving assault on another person or theft within the last 1 year. 5. Weapons Dealers: The primary issue involved in the regulation of weapons dealers is the maintenance of accurate records, and not the prohibition of the sale of dangerous weapons to minors. We propose that no dealer sell such weapons to anyone who is under 18 years and who is not accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. 6.

The public has no expressed concerns about street vending activity. 7.

The dea 1 ers then have been known to tra ffi c in sto 1 en goods. As a result, it continues to be necessary to regulate this type of business in order to both prevent the fencing of stolen goods and to recover stolen goods when possible, To regulate this activity we are recommending that records be kept on purchased goods and that goods not be purchased from people under the age of 18 unless they are accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. 9. Commercial Solicitors: There is individuals who solicit goods from keeping the current regulations. which identification, and when requested, serv;es or goods. community concern about door-to-door.
