Bronwyn's Council Preview

The City Council meeting starts at 6:00 p.m. this Tuesday at city hall. The agenda includes (but is not limited to):
 

• 3. Massage Establishments/Human Trafficking Workshop.

  • The purpose of this workshop is to revisit a topic first brought before Council in 2017 regarding massage therapy establishments and oversight to reduce human trafficking. The state currently does require licenses for massage businesses, though several Iowa cities have ordinances in place which attempt to go beyond the state's requirement. For example, an ordinance in Des Moines allows law enforcement to place notice on the door of the business if they are operating without a license present. Other cities have instituted their own licensing programs, in addition to the state license. 

Non-Agenda Packet: The following items are requests and communications to the council that are not on the agenda.  This includes staff reports and communications/request from constituents/developers. By tradition the council can ask city staff for more information (a report), put the item on a future agenda for discussion or just accept the communication (taking no further action). This usually takes place at the end of the meeting during council comments.
