LOG NAME: 2000WTOWN CYCLE PUB, LLC
SUBJECT:
Adopt Ordinance Amending City Ordinance No. 20504-11-2012, to Reflect a Name Change from Cowtown
Cycle Pub, LLC, to Cowtown Cycle Party, LLC, to Operate One Group Cycle Within the City of Fort Worth
(ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached ordinance amending City Ordinance No.
20504-11-2012, to reflect a name change from Cowtown Cycle Pub, LLC, to Cowtown Cycle Party, LLC.
DISCUSSION:
On August 7, 2012, Cowtown Cycle Pub, LLC, submitted an application requesting authority to operate
one group cycle within the City of Fort Worth (City). A group cycle vehicle is a non-motorized, trolley-
shaped vehicle that carries up to 16 people. On November 12, 2012, (M&C G-17740) the City Council
adopted Ordinance No. 20504-11-2012 granting operating authority to Cowtown Cycle Pub, LLC, to
operate a group cycle service in Fort Worth.
On February 7, 2013, Staff received a request from Mrs. Vicki Peden, Managing Partner of Cowtown
Cycle Pub, LLC, to allow a name change to the operating authority ordinance. The name Cycle Pub is
trademarked so the company must change the name to avoid legal issues.
The City Council is asked to approve the name change from Cowtown Cycle Pub, LLC, to Cowtown Cycle
Party, LLC. Staff has no objections to Cowtown Cycle Pub, LLC's name change, and will ensure that all
terms and conditions follow the standards of the City's Vehicle for Hire Ordinance.
