The Ridgecrest City Council on May 5 will consider awarding a non-exclusive taxi franchise to Ridgecrest Taxi.
Under the agreement Ridgecrest Taxi would charge a $4.00 minimum fare; $3.00 per mile; $0.25 for each additional 1/12 of a mile or fraction thereof, and $0.75 for each additional moment of waiting time, according to the staff report.
