(THE CALEXICO CITY COUNCIL IS MEETING THIS WEEK, BUT NOT TONIGHT)...THE COUNCIL NORMALLY MEETS ON TUESDAYS, TWICE A MONTH. BECAUSE IT IS ELECTION DAY, THE COUNCIL MOVED THEIR MEETING DATE TO WEDNESDAY. THE COUNCIL WILL HOLD TWO PUBLIC HEARINGS THAT ARE BOTH EXPECTED TO BE RATHER LIVELY, AT THE VERY LEAST. BOTH HEARINGS WILL DEAL WITH TAXI CABS. ONE COMPANY WANTS PERMISSION TO INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF CABS THEY OPERATE IN THE CITY. THE OTHER HEARING WILL BE ON THE REQUEST OF THE BLUE CAB COMPANY. THEY WANT PERMISSION TO OPERATE IN THE BORDER CITY. THE OTHER CAB COMPANIES DO NOT WANT THE COMPETITION. THE COUNCIL IS ALSO SCHEDULED TO DISCUSS AND POSSIBLY APPROVE A JOINT ENTERPRISE ZONE APPLICATION WITH THE COUNTY. IF APPROVED, THE ZONE IS EXPECTED TO GREATLY ENHANCE DEVELOPMENT IN THE BORDER REGION. THE COUNCIL MEETING WEDNESDAY BEGINS AT 6:30 PM, IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS ON HEBER AVENUE.
