Title
PUBLICATION OF THE TITLE AND SUMMARY OF ORDINANCE 15-2312, AMENDING ARTICLE IX. LICENSING AND REGULATION OF THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE, CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF BLAINE
Background
Ordinance 15-2312, Amending Article IX, Licensing and Regulation of Therapeutic Massage, was adopted on June 18, 2015. Minnesota Statute 412.191, Subd. 4, provides for publication of the title and summary of an ordinance in the case it is lengthy, if the City Council determines that publication of the title and a summary would clearly inform the public of the intent and effect of the ordinance. As Ordinance 15-2312 is very lengthy staff is recommending adoption of the proposed summary resolution. The entire ordinance is available for inspection during regular office hours at City Hall and can be forwarded upon request.
Recommendation
Adopt the resolution providing for a summary publication of Ordinance 15-2312.
