f <br />I <br />ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />Action Agenda <br />Item No. V-1) <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: March 20, 1991 <br />SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO THE MASSAGE ORDINANCE <br />---------------------- <br />DEPARTMENT: COUNTY COMMISSIONERS PUBLIC HEARING YES: NO: X <br />ATTACHMENT(S): YES - ORDINANCE INFORMATION CONTACT: BEVERLY BLYTHE <br />TELEPHONE NUMBER- <br />Hillsborough - 732 -8181 <br />Chapel Hill - 968 -4501 <br />Mebane - 227 -2031 <br />Durham - 688 -7331 <br />--- mmmm <br />PURPOSE: To amend the Massage Ordinance to provide a time period after <br />approval of application in which to pay the license fee and receive a <br />license. <br />BACKGROUND: As part of my responsibility I receive applications for those <br />who want to start a business or profession of massage and also for those <br />who want to practice massage. On three occasions, after the application <br />has been received, the person let from six months to one year and in one <br />case two years lapse before actually paying for and receiving a license. <br />We do not have in the ordinance a timeframe specified before a person <br />would need to reapply. on every applicant the Sheriff is required to do <br />an investigative report. I recommend that the Ordinance be amended to <br />indicate that "failure to pay the fees within sixty days will cause the <br />permit approval to lapse and will require reapplication before a permit <br />can be issued." This statement would need to be added to Section 1 -3(E) <br />and Section 1-4(F). <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): Approve the proposed amendment to Section 1 -3(E) and <br />Section 1 -4(F) of the Massage Ordinance. <br />
