Nothing is finalized, he said, explaining he didn t want to burden the industry but was asking for input on if the ordinance was needed and would perhaps fill a gap as the state board doesn t regularly do any inspections.
Massage therapist and business owner Stephanie Ramsey said the state board had never inspected her operation in her 23 years in business.
Questions raised at the hearing were on a wide variety of issues, including possible fees, the ordinance s language, effects on in-home operations, therapists working at multiple locations and sanitation of facilities.
The elephant in the room, though, was the question of whether the city and police were trying to get at prostitution or illegal sexual activity, known for decades to be an issue in some operations nationwide.

Morningside School of Music has around 700 pupils across the east of Scotland.
Linda Boyd, director of the school, said: “We’re almost at the point now where pubs can fully reopen assuming the progress that’s been made with infection levels continues.

“It brings more customers in, adds atmosphere and keeps people in for longer.

The student believes OIE was untimely and did not follow protocol in its investigation.
“The message I took from this whole process was this: They know he’s guilty, but they’re letting him off the hook because they don’t want to ruin his life. What about the fact that he almost ruined mine?”
These are the words of a master’s student describing the investigation the Office of Institutional Equity (OIE) conducted after she reported her sexual assault.
The News-Letter granted her anonymity to protect her privacy; she requested the pseudonym Zhang.
Zhang filed her complaint in the fall of 2020. Although OIE’s investigation eventually found the perpetrator guilty of sexual assault, the resolution panel decided not the punish the perpetrator. External review panels are composed of two trained University faculty or administrators and one additional retired judge or legal professional chosen by the Title IX coordinator.
