OF THE ORDINANCE CODE
OF THE CITY OF RICHFIELD
CITY OF RICHFIELD DOES ORDAIN:
Chapter V, Part II, Section 5.25 of the Ordinance Code of the City of
Richfield relating to the regulation of saunas and massage parlors is hereby
amended by amending Subdivisions 2 and 4 to read as follows:
"Subd. 2. License Required.
~) It is found and determined that the type of business activity subject
to licensure under this section is particularly subject to abuse which may
take a number of forms contrary to the morals, health, safety and general
welfare of the community. Further, it is found that control of these abuses
requires intensive efforts of the public safety department as well as other
departments of the city. These efforts exceed those required to control and
regulate other business activities licensed by the city, This concentrated
use of city services tends to detract from and reduce the level of service
available to the rest of the community and thereby diminishes the ability of
the city to promote the general health, welfare, morals and safety of the
community. The number of sauna and massage parlor licenses which may be
in force at any one time shall be five.
No person shall engage in the business of operating a sauna or massage
parlor either exclusively or in connection with. any other business enterprise
without being licensed as provided in this section."
Subd. 4. License Fees and License Year. The annual license fee is /$150.00/
600.00. The license fee shall be paid when the application is filed. In
the event that the application is denied or in the event that the license once
issued is revoked, cancelled, suspended or surrendered, no part of the annual
fee shall be returned to the applicant unless by council action. Zn addition
to the annual license fee required by this subdivision, any applicant making
an initial application shall also pay a non-refundable application and in-
vestigation fee of $700.00 at the time of making such application. A separate
license shall be obtained for each place of business. The licensee shall dis-
play the license on a prominent place in the licensed business at all times.
A license, unless revoked or surrendered, is for the calendar year or part
thereof, for which. it has been issued."
Passed by the City Council of the City of Richfield this 23rd day of
