2. Tattooing, Body Piercing & Massage Parlors
Commissioner DeVine indicated he liked the New Brighton Ordinance.
Chair Hanson asked that Staff put the New Brighton Ordinance into Centerville format.
Commissioner DeVine questioned whether the Anoka County Health Department
regulates tattooing and body piercing because that would keep the City from having to
regulate these businesses and save taxpayer dollars.
Chair Hanson indicated that Anoka County does not regulate body piercing.
Commissioner McLean indicated that the Ordinance refers to an enforcement body. He
then indicated that the Commission would need to recommend to Council who that
enforcement body would be either the Police or by complaint at the Council level.
Chair Hanson indicated he felt Council should decide who should enforce the Ordinance.
Commissioner Wilharber indicated he would like to recommend that the Police
Department do the enforcing and have Staff draft an ordinance based on the New
Brighton format. He also indicated that the County Health Authority needs to be listed in
the Ordinance.
Commissioner DeVine asked whether the City Manager could utilize the County Health
Authority.
Commissioner DeVine indicated the enforcement officer would be the County Health
Officer and asked that Staff add a paragraph on enforcement by the Police Department.
Chair Hanson asked if the disposal of biohazard materials needed to be addressed.
Commissioner McLean noted the handling of biohazard materials was covered in the
New Brighton ordinance.
Commissioner DeVine commented that the City could pull the license per the Ordinance
and asked what type of enforcement beyond pulling the license the Commission was
looking for.
Commissioner Wilharber commented that these types of businesses cannot be conducted
as a home occupation and then said he feels home occupations take away from the
commercial tax base.
Motion by Commissioner DeVine, seconded by Commissioner Wilharber to ask
Staff to draft an ordinance for review based on the New Brighton form adding a
paragraph concerning enforcement, and to ask Staff to schedule the public hearing
on this Ordinance at the July meeting. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously.
