Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday,January 23, 2017 <br /> Page 5 <br /> Councilmember Willmus stated his intent in removing this item from the consent <br /> agenda was to separate massage therapist licenses from other licenses for consid- <br /> eration. Councilmember Willmus stated that he had an issue with the nature of <br /> therapist applications when they were so heavily redacted, making it difficult for <br /> individual council members to know who the applicants were or having any abil- <br /> ity to track information on applicants. While understanding the need for redacting <br /> information from the online docket, Councilmember Willmus expressed his pref- <br /> erence that that information be more readily available at the city council level for <br /> tracking. <br /> Roe moved, Etten seconded, approval of four massage therapist licenses as de- <br /> tailed in the RCA of today's date. <br /> Councilmember Laliberte agreed that in the past, she too had felt the information <br /> provided on background checks for massage therapist licensees was insufficient to <br /> make her comfortable; and suggested that staff research other communities to ob- <br /> tain best practices in reviewing applicants. <br /> Mayor Roe referenced a recent memorandum from City Manager Trudgeon relat- <br /> ed to consequences of a recent arrest related to a prior applicant, and staff's prac- <br /> tice to no longer proceed in issuing a license in Roseville if there were any issues <br /> from previous licensure in another city by a Roseville massage therapist applicant. <br /> Mayor Roe advised that with that recent change in staff's review of applicants, the <br /> practice was in line with current city ordinance. <br /> Roll Call <br /> Ayes: Laliberte, Etten, McGehee and Roe. <br /> Nays: Willmus. <br /> Motion carried. <br /> Willmus moved, Laliberte seconded, approval of massage therapy establishment, <br /> cigarette/tobacco products, and temporary on-sale liquor licenses for terms as not- <br /> ed and as detailed in the RCA of today's date, pending successful background <br /> checks for licenses if and as applicable. <br /> Roll Call <br /> Ayes: Willmus, Laliberte, Etten, McGehee and Roe. <br /> Nays: None. <br /> 10.
