years at The Massage School in St. Paul. Also self-employed at Awaken for Wellness in St. Paul for 1.5 years. 2. Has a diploma or certificate of graduation from a recognized school. Transcripts attached. 3. Has insurance coverage with liability limits of at least $1,000,000 for professional liability in the practice of massage. Copy of insurance certificate is attached. The City of Mounds View would be added as an additional insured should her license be approved. 4. Is affiliated with, employed by or owns a therapeutic massage enterprise licensed by the city. The is where the City Council has to determine if we want to issue an individual license because Ms. Hoon is not affiliated with an actual enterprise license located in the City. The Code states that a therapist license cannot be issued to someone who does not hold, a therapeutic massage enterprise license. But again, she does hold one with the City of St. Paul. (Copy attached). The City may want to consider revising the City Code Chapter 114 to specifically address these types of extended continuing education classes and workshops. 5. In addition to the 70 hours of resident study, applicant must complete at least 400 hours of certified therapeutic massage training as part of earning a diploma or certificate from a recognized school. 6. Has at least one year of experience practicing massage therapy as established by an affidavit. I would also like to note that the City Code, Chapter 114, also states, "A licensed therapeutic massage therapist may perform on -site massage at a business, public gathering, private home or other sites not on the therapeutic massage enterprise premise." The applicant has also expressed interest in participating in the Mounds View Festival in the Park. We can request additional information from the applicant regarding this matter should Ms. Hoon decide to pursue this possibility. Ms. Hoon has paid the required permit fees and received a satisfactory report from the Mounds View Police Department regarding her criminal background check. Just a reminder that the City Council must grant or deny the application within 120 days receipt of her license application. In accordance with the City Code, this license would expire on December 31, 2024 and would be renewed annually. Recommendation: Staff recommends the consideration of Resolution 9892. Staff also recommends taking a look at therapeutic massage therapist licenses that are long-term to provide for more mobile -type activities and class instruction where the enterprise business is not located within Mounds View city limits.
