AMEND CHAPTER 31 REGARDING MASSAGE THERAPY LICENSING, Continued) <br /> <br />In St. Paul they require a test to ensure that the massage therapist is qualified, which is not the issue <br />tonight. Mattick noted this ordinance deals strictly with background checks of individual massage <br />therapists. <br /> <br />Franchot asked whether there is any issue with the independent contractor status. <br /> <br />Mattick stated whether they are an employee or an independent contractor, if they are performing <br />massages, they would need to be licensed or have a background check performed. <br /> <br />McMillan asked if this would affect the property owner also. <br /> <br />Mattick indicated it would be the person who managed or controlled the space. <br /> <br />Vader asked whether the City still wants the independent contractor to get a background check. <br /> <br />Mattick indicated that would be correct regardless if they are an independent contractor or an employee. <br />Mattick noted the ordinance would require the business owner to ensure that the independent contractors <br />and/or employees undergo a background check. <br /> <br />Franchot asked whether the police chief is in agreement with the ordinance. <br /> <br />Police Chief Farniok indicated he is in agreement with the ordinance. <br /> <br />McMillan closed the public hearing at 8:32 p.m. <br /> <br />Bremer moved, Franchot seconded, to adopt ORDINANCE NO. 87, Third Series, an Ordinance <br />Amending Chapter 31 of the Orono City Code to Require Background Checks for Massage <br />Therapists.
