Why This Vote Matters
The council unanimously approved a three-month contract with Friendly/Yellow/Greyline Cab Company to provide backup transportation for disabled and elderly residents. This service ensures that when the city's own vehicles aren't available, eligible residents can still get door-to-door rides at no cost to them through the cab company. The contract includes performance criteria that will be reviewed, allowing the city to assess how well the service is working before potentially extending it. This was a routine administrative decision that maintains an existing transportation service for vulnerable residents.
