STAFF AGENDA REPORT
CONSENT AGENDA #: 4 (0)
PREPARED BY: RALPH TESCHNER, FINANCE DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO CITY FEE
SCHEDULE TO ESTABLISH BUSINESS LICENSE FEE
FOR MASSAGE THERAPY
DATE: JUNE 17, 1996
INTRODUCTION:
The purpose of this agenda item is to revise the 1996 City Fee
Schedule to include a fee for a massage therapy business
license.
BACKGROUND:
The Prior Lake City Code requires two separate licenses; a
business license and a personal services license in order to
engage in massage therapy . The Prior Lake zoning ordinance
was recently amended to permit massage therapy as an
accessory use in certain business and commercial zoning
districts. The operation of massage therapy activities within a
business district requires the issuance of a massage therapy
business license thus necessitating the establishment of a fee
for such a license.
DISCUSSION:
On July 1, 1996 the City Council will conduct a Public
Hearing to consider an application for a business license and a
personal services license to operate massage therapy services
in a business establishment in the Priordale Mallo Our current
personal service masseuse license is $100 however the current
city fee schedule does not prescribe a business license fee for
massage therapy 0
Based upon the most current Municipal License and Permit
Survey conducted by the Association of Metropolitan
Municipalities, the business license fees for massage therapy
for cities above 10,000 in population range from $25 in Blaine
to $10,000 for a sauna/massage license in Brooklyn Parko The
average fee is approximately $1500. The typical charge runs in
the neighborhood of $300 to $25000 Attached for Council
information is a copy of the AMM survey page relating to
massage license feeso

"..
The City Attorney has advised that the fee for a business
license must bear a rational relationship to the City's
administrative costs including investigation of the applicant
and premise, re-inspections as necessary and enforcement.
Based upon these considerations, Staff is recommending a fee
of $5000
ALTERNATIVES:
The Council has the following alternatives:
1. Amend the 1996 City Fee Schedule to establish a
massage therapy business license fee of $5000
20 Amend the 1996 City Fee Schedule to establish massage
therapy license in an amount specified by the City
Council.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve Alternative #1
MOTION REQUIRED: Motion and second to approve as part of the Consent Agenda
would be in ordero
