altered to include wheelchair van service.

But before the change becomes official-- City council will have to vote on
it.
Saul says the change is in the best interest of residents because the city
will be able to monitor the rates charged- just as they do with taxi cabs.

rather to keep a check on others who may want to start similar businesses.
