is respectfully recommended that following the required public hearing, Council approve the
application by taking the following action:
“Move to approve 2013 Massage Therapy Licenses as presented, pending
approval by the Washington County Sheriff.”
BACKGROUND & STAFF REPORT: The City of Lake Elmo instituted a city license
structure in December of 2012 in order to better regulate the practice of therapeutic massage in
Lake Elmo. This past action has already produced positive results in several instances. A public
hearing is required for the consideration of all massage therapy licenses issued by the City. In the
consideration of efficiency, staff has waited to hold the public hearing until the City had received
all license applications from all establishments known at currently to be practicing massage
therapy. Approval by the Washington County Sheriff is still pending.
The City is respectfully requested to consider granting massage therapy licenses to the following
2013 Massage applicants:
