ATTACHMENTS: Ordinance
APPROVED BY:
The Council is asked to consider amending the ordinance related to saunas and massage parlors. This ordinance
was first adopted with a focus on massage and saunas as an adult use. Amendments to the ordinance have been
made as massage therapy has become more prevalent.
This proposed amendment addresses massage therapy offered as a service of a bona fide health and fitness club.
The amendment removes the requirement to license the health club, but the massage therapist would still be
required to obtain a personal license. Specific fees for the business and personal licenses have been removed
from the ordinance language. Instead, fees would be set by resolution of the Council annually. This is
consistent with the setting of other fees that are done by resolution.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: This is the first reading of the ordinance resolution. If the changes are
desired, the ordinance will be brought back at a future Council meeting for adoption.
