ment as a massage technician.

Councilman Duke questioned the appeal provisions in the proposed ordinance and the
Deputy City Attorney stated that Superior Court would be the only recourse avail-
able to parties whose appeals have been denied by the Police Permit Appeals Board.
Discussion was held by the Council and staff regarding the educational requirements
for massage technicians contained in the proposed ordinance,
Councilman Matney suggested that study be given to amending Section 25.186 to require
less stringent educational requirements for a massage technician aide, and requested
Captain Ekstrom to provide a report concerning the Police Department's reasons for
recommending that a 1000 hour course of study be required to obtain a massage tech-
nician permit.
Mayor Coen spoke regarding the areas of his concern in the proposed ordinance, stating
that he would propose that Section 25.184 (e) be amended to require only a 200 hour
study course rather than 1000 hours, that the section covering the closing time for
massage establishments be amended and that the discretion afforded the Chief of
Police in various portions of the code be narrowed, with these portions perhaps being
tied in to an educational requirement rather than by police regulation.

requested that further documentation be provided regarding California State Law
concerning educational requirements for massage technicians and technician aides.
