Item No: 10 B <br />Meeting Date: August 28, 2000 <br />Type of Business: PH & CB <br /> <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor & City Council <br />From: James Ericson, Planner <br />Item Title/Subject: Public Hearing and Second Reading (Adoption) of <br />Ordinance 663, an Ordinance Creating Licensing <br />and Siting Requirements to Administer and <br />Regulate Tattoo and Body Piercing Establishments. <br />Date of Report: August 21, 2000 <br /> <br />Discussion: <br /> <br />The City Council approved the first reading of Ordinance 663 at its meeting on August 14, <br />2000. <br /> <br />After making numerous inquiries, staff learned that neither the County nor State licenses <br />or certifies these types of businesses. In addition, Staff has researched this issue and <br />found that there are no standardized training programs available to tattoo artists or <br />piercing specialists; experience is gained only through apprenticeships in and with <br />established, reputable businesses and professionals. To reflect this, the ordinance has <br />been revised to require a minimum four years of actual experience or two years of <br />apprenticeship and two years of actual experience. <br /> <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Continue the public hearing and consider the second reading and adoption of Ordinance <br />663. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />______________________ <br />James Ericson, Planner <br /> <br />Attachment: <br />1.
