Re: Conduct Public Hearing for Amendment Relating to Massage Establishments
Council Action Requested
Council is requested to conduct a public hearing and a second reading to consider an amendment to
the current ordinance relating to the term of a massage establishment license.
Background Information:
The Administrative Committee of the Council met before the regular Council meeting on May 5,
2008 and discussed the current regulation of massage establishments. Following discussion, the
Administrative Committee (Blueness, Hazlet, Hollenbeck) recommended to amend the length of
the license term for massage establishments from its current one year to three years in length. The
license fee will remain the same at $100, but. will be applied for the entire three year license period.
The committee also recommended making this change effective January 1, 2008 for the currently
licensed establishments. The term of current licenses issued to massage establishments will be in
effect for the years 2008, 2009 and through December 31, 2010.
A public hearing has been advertised, and no comments regarding this proposed change have been
received to date.
Please let me know if you have any questions about this proposed change.
