Pubic Meeting: Massage Establishment Proposed Ordinance

PURPOSE OF THE MEETING

The City is considering an ordinance establishing registration and operating requirements for certain

massage establishments. The proposal is intended to promote public safety, business transparency,

and accountability while helping prevent illegal activity and protecting legitimate professional

services.

IMPORTANT EXEMPTION

Qualifying state-licensed massage therapists and establishments operating exclusively with

state-licensed massage therapists are exempt from the proposed municipal registration and

background-check requirements. The City seeks to avoid unnecessary burdens on lawful, licensed

professionals.

MEET WITH CITY STAFF

The Chief of Police and other City staff will be available to explain the proposed ordinance, discuss

exemptions and operating requirements, answer questions, and welcome comments and

recommendations from local massage establishments and licensed professionals.
