Mr. Tarbutton moved to table the Ordinance granting the franchise to River Taxi Service and Mrs. Norris seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. City Attorney Barbara Jean Edwards stated that the owner of River Taxi Service is thinking of selling his business, and if the City grants a franchise to River Taxi Service, that is who is going to be the holder of that franchise, and she thinks it should be made clear they cannot sell the franchise with- out the person purchasing it coming back to the Council for approval. It was the City Attorney's recommendation that Mr. Duke come before the Council and tell the Council he intends to operate the business or give his plans.
