PUBLIC HEARINGS
Taxicab Application Appeal, Martha Monroy
Mayor Lonergan declared the hearing open at 7:38 p.m. for the purpose of hearing public input on the
Taxicab Application Appeal, Martha Monroy. Mayor Lonergan asked if there were any declarations
from the Council. There were none. Finance Director Turley and Deputy Police Chief Shadrin presented
a staff report,explaining that although the taxi license application had previously been approved in 2023,
a subsequent review during renewal of her application identified a driver's license suspension within the
10-year look-back period required by the current taxi ordinance. As a result, staff determined the renewal
application had to be denied. Staff noted that the ordinance contains an inconsistency, as other serious
driving offenses have a five-year look-back period and recommended amending the ordinance to make
it consistent.

City Attorney Granum advised that the current denial was consistent with the existing ordinance and
recommended that the license not be reinstated until the ordinance could be amended to address the
inconsistency and reduce potential liability to the City.
Ms. Monroy was given the opportunity to address Council and chose to rely on her written appeal,which
was entered into the official record. Mayor Lonergan asked if any member of the public wished to speak
in support or in opposition. Michelle Underwood, Salem, spoke in support of Ms. Monroy, requesting
consideration of a temporary or provisional license due to the financial hardship caused by the denial.
Mayor Lonergan closed the hearing at 7:56 p.m.
Councilors discussed the appeal, the current ordinance requirements, potential ordinance amendments,
and options for addressing the matter moving forward.
City Attorney Granum noted that an emergency provision could be added to the ordinance to allow the
changes to take effect immediately and that, as long as the application submitted met the remaining
requirements of the ordinance,the license could be issued the day after Council approved the ordinance.
Councilors expressed support for this approach.
Motion: Schaub/Wilk... affirm the denial of the taxi license renewal application for Martha Monroy
and direct staff to prepare a final decision with findings to be signed by the Mayor.
The Motion passed with the following vote: Councilors Cantu,Schaub,Cornwell,and Wilk voting"aye."
