MINUTES CITY COUNCIL DECEMBER 17, 2025 Malone agreed and stated that they want to have these regulations not just for now but for the future as well. Gutierrez asked if there is an urgency to vote on this tonight. Mayor Fischer stated that he did not believe there was urgency, but also did not believe there was anything that would change his views, as he and Gutierrez will disagree on a few points she has brought up. Gutierrez stated that she would be more comfortable having the opportunity for additional discussion with the City Attorney before voting on this item. She stated that there are emails that have been received from residents related to the inspection laws. The City Attorney stated that the ordinance would require a business to cooperate during business hours if an inspection is requested. She noted that this is not unique to this ordinance or type of business. She stated that from a legal perspective, she always provides the direction that the City has the right to an inspection and the individual has the right to say they must leave the property. She stated that if that were to happen, the city would gain an administrative warrant to complete the inspection. Gutierrez stated that she does not understand how a bed is more problematic than any other surface and asked the Council to reconsider that, as that is the most appropriate surface for many types of services and creates a better safety situation for practitioners and clients. Mayor Fischer stated that he is very concerned about activities that are not part of the plan and rules can be broken. He stated that the bad actor could be a customer, and specifically for the business tonight, the proprietor works hard and will be successful with the rules that are being put in place, recognizing that it might require adaptation.
