ORDINANCE
Average Investigation Fee
V
The massage ordinance was updated July 5th this year with suggestions from our attorney. I did not think about
fee changes at the time, however, after reviewing surrounding cities and the LMC survey, I believe the fees
could be lowered. There is a more modern surge in business to include massage as therapy for injuries, even
depression, and often I do get calls from people graduating from massage therapy schools looking for
opportunities. So far, most have remarked how high our fees are. I believe it would be good to encourage this
new type of business as a convenience to our residents.
The fee research showed the following facts:
Average Personal Service License
$ 102
Rosemount's fee $300
Average Business License
$1,450
Rosemount's fee $2,500
Average Investigation Fee
$ 237
Rosemount's fee $500 1 5L yr., thereafter $250
Local cities fees for Personal Service License as follows:
Burnsville Personal
$ 75
Investigation fee $100
Eagan Personal
$ 50
Investigation fee $150
Farmington Personal
$ 50
Investigation fee $200
Lakeville Personal
$ 100 ?
yr, thereafter $25
The Business License fees from the LMC survey:
Aitkin, pop. 1,725
Zimmerman, pop. 1,826
Dilworth, pop. 3000
Chisholm, pop. 5,290
Bermidji, pop. 11,245
Rochester, pop. 76,060
$1,500
$3,000
$ 500
$ 5
$ 100
$3,600
It is note worthy that of the 135 cities
surveyed by the LMC, 120 cities do not
choose to license massage therapy at all.
Staff would suggest lowering fees to: Personal Massage License $150 Business Massage License $1,500 and
investigation fees for Personal as $100 the first year, S25 the following years, and for Business investigation
$250 the first year, and $100 the following years.

Dear Ms. Busho & Mr. Burt,
It has come to my attention that the ordinance regarding massage therapy contains several
outdated aspects. When comparing our ordinance to the ordinances of the surrounding
communities some differences were noted. Specifically, the fee for licensure in Rosemount
is extremely high. I have provided a list of the surrounding communities and the fees they
require below. The fees should be lowered to be in line with the f ees of the surrounding
communities.
The other point needed to be looked at and re- assessed is the requirement that male
massage therapists massage only male clients, and female massage therapists only massage
female clients (3 -2B -4: B -11). In this day and age, massage therapy has' become a respected
profession that provides a unique and needed service to the communities it serves. There
may have been a need for the strict ordinance, but times have changed. There is no
restriction like this in any of the cities surveyed.
Rosemount - $300 /yr licensure p wr al/� � � uDwr�
evjL , p, $500 initial investigation with$250 investigation fee /yr thereafter
T 5e/yr for keuur�-
Apple Valley - Exempt from licensing fees (if located in a chiropractic office)
Burnsville - One time $100 investigation fee & $75 license /year
Lakeville - $100 first time license, $25 annually thereafter
Eagan - One time $150 investigation fee, $50 license /yr
Farmington - One time $200 investigation fee, $50 license /yr
Please review the ordinance and make the applicable changes. I realize the City Council must
vote to change the ordinance, but I hope this can be done in an expedient manner.
Respectfully yours,
fC
