  • Services and Obligatory Participation of Mitigated Business Establishments Located in the Identified Geographic Areas
    DATE: JANUARY 24, 2018 TO: ATN BOARD OF DIRECTORS FROM: DIANA KOTLER, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR RE: AGENDA ITEM 12 RECOMMENDATION: Authorize ATN Executive Director to submit to the City of Anaheim ATN non-exclusive franchise update for a 12-month administrative extension DISCUSSION: The Anaheim Transportation Network (ATN) provides Anaheim Resort Transportation (ART) services under the authority of two guiding documents: 1. Pertinent Specific Plans Provide regulatory oversight for transportation services and obligatory participation of mitigated business establishments located in the identified geographic areas 2. Non-exclusive Franchise Agreement Provides self-imposed operating and administrative standards for operation of transportation services by ATN and other entities The ATN received its non-exclusive franchise from the City of Anaheim in 2004 per Section 1400 of the Charter of the City of Anaheim. The Charter establishes procedures for the award of franchises by the City and states that any person, firm or corporation furnishing the City of Anaheim or it inhabitants with transportation services may be required, by ordinance, to have a franchise. The Charter further states that the City Council is empowered to grant such franchises and to establish additional procedures, terms and conditions, as appropriate. On April 27, 2004, the Anaheim City Council adopted Section 1.02.010 of the Anaheim Municipal Code requiring any person, firm or corporation furnishing the City or its inhabitants with transportation services to have a valid and existing franchise. In addition, on April 27, 2004, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 5911 granting a non-exclusive franchise to the Anaheim Transportation Network to provide public transportation service within The Anaheim Resort® and other areas within the City of Anaheim.
