<br /> <br />City of Centerville <br /> Council Meeting Minutes <br /> December 13, 2006 <br />Mayor Capra asked Staff, after the candidates accept, to contact the Chairs of both <br />Committees and to send the newly appointed individuals a letter welcoming them and <br />providing them with a copy of the Bylaws and the Code of Ethics. <br /> <br />Mayor Capra indicated that Council had some guidelines for consideration for adoption <br />but will need to look at them in 2007. <br /> <br /> 8. Appointment to Fill Vacancy on Parks & Recreation Committee <br /> <br /> This item was handled as part of the previous Agenda item. <br /> <br /> 9. Draft Massage Ordinance/Amendment <br /> <br />City Attorney Glaser explained the changes to Section 115 noting the changes bring an <br />update to the Ordinance to bar sex trade types of activities but recognize that therapeutic <br />massage is a legitimate business. <br /> <br />Mayor Capra asked whether the language proposed means that no minors could get a <br />massage as it limits it to adults. <br /> <br />City Attorney Glaser indicated that is in the purpose statement area of the ordinance and <br />is really talking about keeping the “Johns” out of Centerville. <br /> <br />Mayor Capra asked whether licensees could go somewhere else to do this massage. <br /> <br />City Attorney Glaser explained that this draft ordinance requires that massage happens on <br />the premises of the establishment to allow the City the ability to check up on them. <br /> <br />Council Member Lee asked if leaving this ambiguous would leave room for Council <br />discretion at a later time. <br /> <br />Council Member Paar said he would think it would be better to be clear. He then said <br />that he is concerned about allowing massage out of a home. <br /> <br />City Attorney Glaser explained that if there is a residence involved there must be an <br />external entry and exit. <br /> <br />City Attorney Glaser said that it is his opinion, from a public safety standpoint, not to put <br />this in homes. <br /> <br />Council Member Lee indicated he would like to limit them to commercial zoned areas of <br />the City. <br /> <br />City Attorney Glaser suggested allowing them in mixed use provided the building is <br />commercial. <br /> <br />Page 13 of 19 <br />
