EXPLANATION:
On March 16, 2010, the City Council enacted interim Ordinance No. 2010-2332 as an urgency
ordinance, to take effect immediately, imposing a 45-day moratorium prohibiting the issuance of
massage technician permits and prohibiting new massage establishments from locating within the City.
On April 20, 2010, the City Council enacted Ordinance No. 2010-2334, extending the moratorium for 10
months and 15 days. The moratorium will expire on March 5, 2011, unless extended.
Section 65858(d) of the Government Code provides that 10 days prior to the expiration of an
interim ordinance, the City Council shall issue a written report describing the measures taken to
alleviate the condition that led to adoption of the ordinance. This action by the City Council will enable
the Council to consider a one-year extension of the moratorium prior to its expiration.
A report is attached which complies with the requirements of Section 65858(d). Briefly stated, the
report discusses the current state of massage establishments in the City, and the need to revise the
City's regulations pertaining to such establishments, a process complicated by the unsettled status of
applicable state law.
The proposed resolution would approve and authorize issuance of this report.
