City Council Regular Meeting Minutes October 24, 2017 Page 3 Police Captain Spiess reviewed a resolution to revoke a massage license for Solace and Wellness located at 2500 Hwy. 88. A letter was sent to the massage license holder (Ms. Chrisler) citing pending revocation issues and was provided for Council review. He reviewed the results of the investigation reports made by the investigating officers some of which was included in the letter sent to Ms. Chrisler. 7 Captain Spiess mentioned he spoke with the President of the Association representing North 8 Gate Office Park who stated there are several women working out of several of the suites in the 9 North Gate Office Park. He stated Ms. Chrisler is the main one and she usually stays close to 10 Suite 219. He has never seen a female client at the "business ". 11 12 Ms. Chrisler stated she is very upset with these accusations. She referred to items in the letter 13 sent to her by City Manager Casey. Ms. Chrisler stated she knows Lianna Winters and they 14 shared an account with each other but she never worked with her. She stated she does not know 15 anything about her working in the Office Park. Lashawna Thao was Ms. Chrisler's intern who is 16 taking online classes for massage therapy. Ms. Chrisler gave Ms. Thao clients so she could earn 17 commission and get hours for her training requirements. She has full control in giving her the 18 clients. That is the reason Ms. Chrisler added another room because of Ms. Thao's work with the 19 clients. Ms. Chrisler feels the reviews are very biased. People can go on websites and say 20 anything they want. The reviews are false and she has nothing to hide. She is very embarrassed 21 by this situation and does not want to lose her business or her livelihood because of these false 22 reviews. She said the building management knows that she does massage and she would not do 23 anything to harm herself or her kids. Ms. Chrisler asked why is the City coming after her — 24 because she's Asian — because she's licensed. Why not go after the other massage salons. She 25 stated she follows the rules and resolutions. She is not what you think. She asked why "you" 26 didn't come in and make an appointment and find out what is going on. 27 28 Mayor Faust asked if Ms. Chrisler has any female clients and Ms. Chrisler said she does. Mayor 29 Faust stated the license was for one person. Ms. Chrisler stated she has an intern. Mayor Faust 30 stated that is a violation of the license permit. Mayor Faust stated when Ms. Chrisler was before 31 the Council April 11, she stated she would be the only person working there. Mayor Faust stated 32 he also asked Ms. Chrisler to stop advertising on Backpage and Ms. Chrisler agreed. Mayor 33 Faust stated there is another person working with Ms. Chrisler and she continues to advertise on 34 Backpage. Ms. Chrisler stated she does not do "full service" and she is very careful at how she 35 advertises. She gets calls from people asking for many things — she tries to weed out those types 36 of people. 37 38 Motion by Mayor Faust, seconded by Councilmember Stille, to approve Resolution 17 -072; a 39 Resolution Revoking the Massage License for Solace and Wellness located at 2500 Highway 88. 40 41 Motion carried 3 -0. 42 43 B.
