December 4, 2012 Regular Meeting Minutes Page 2 of 4 Resolution No. 2012-098: Relating to Business Regulations; declaring as a public record filed with the Town Clerk the amendments adopted by Ordinance No. 2012.13 to Marana Town Cade Title 9`Business Regulations,"Chapter 9-4 entitled "Massage Establishments" Prese�ted by Jane Fairall. She noted that almost two years ago, Cauncil adapted Chapter 9-4 adding to the Town Code the regulation of massage establishment businesses coming into the town. Several amendments were ma.de in 2411, so it's been a little over a year that staff has been able to monitor licensing, investigations, inspections, and code violations. As a result, Police, Legal and Finance staff reviewed the activity of those establishments in relation to the code, and are bringing forward some additional amendments to the cade to help them enhance the professionalism of the industry and to be able to deal with the businesses that appear to be operating outside that professionalism. She highlighted a few significant changes. One is the application requirements. Staff is also recommending that there be a provision to a11ow the license insgector to delay a decision when a business wants ta go into a location of a previous establishment that had documented violatians. Grounds fQr denial or revocation or suspension of license were added to close any loopholes and the addition of unlawful activities were added to the code. Anather key aspect is the designation of an owner/inanager/designated agent on the premises at a11 times who is not a general employee.
