Title

REVIEW OF THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE ORDINANCE

 

Background

At the June 15 workshop staff reviewed proposed amendments that we believe will both continue recognizing and supporting industry standards of massage therapy and the valued business enterprises in our City while continuing to ensure public safety.  At that workshop Council made some suggestions and directed staff to forward the proposed amendments to the current enterprise license holders for input.  Suggestions made by license holders and staff have been incorporated and highlighted in blue in the attached ordinance.

 

Recommendation

Staff is requesting that Council review the proposed amendments and provide staff final feedback prior to bringing forward at a future Council meeting, at which time all license holders will be notified and provided the opportunity for input.
