Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Jim LaValle <br />Steve Morelan <br />Bob Pedersen <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />RE: Request for Ordinance Amendment Relating to Licensing of <br />Massage Parlors <br />Enclosed is a copy of our current ordinance regarding the <br />regulation of massage parlors and saunas. Recently, some people <br />have inquired about this license and have expressed concern with <br />our $10,000 license fee. A request was made to Kathy to approach <br />the Council on this matter at our Council meeting on December 20, <br />1995. To -date, no formal written material has been received from <br />this person. However, we thought we should include some <br />information in the event someone is present at Wednesday's <br />meeting. <br />From staff's perspective, we have informed the people inquiring <br />that should someone want to open a sauna or massage parlor as <br />defined by the ordinance, they would be subjected to the $10,000 <br />license fee. We have also informed them that should another <br />business want to employ a masseuse or masseurs as an accessory <br />use, the license fee would likely not apply. It should be kept <br />in mind that we would consider accessory use to be in conjunction <br />with a chiropractor, physician, physical therapist, or health <br />club. <br />Council Member Morelan has also received some inquiries on this <br />matter and he may wish to discuss this with the Council as well. <br />Should any changes be desired in this ordinance, staff would need <br />the appropriate direction. <br />JRH:kpv <br />Enclosure <br />Page 51 <br />
