He that discussion and comments be received on asked the adoption of the proposed ordinance. Chair wil lhoit suggested a pub 1 is hearing be held on t ord inane e. Before the he proposed public hear4ing g the ordinance will be circulated to those interested for their comments Rick Rosen, Bodywor4l s Clinic in Chapel Dill g stated he working with the City of Chapel Hill in the had been writing of a Massage Ordinance and realizes it is an enforcement problem as well as a regulation professional practice of the health care E problem for the medallion that a good many people find of great value* He outlined the ways in which the clinic � . People of the community and how the work is b �s servicing the being used. A model l ordinance has been drafted which addresses and regulates the activities that go On in "Massage Parlors", but also regulates the professional activity of ma s sage therapy consistent with other health therapists in the t ate. He asked that the Board consider the ordinance that is on hold in Chapel Hill and consider a new approach that would: (1) eliminate "massage parlors", ( ) provide Positive regulation, and ( ) prevent future emergence p e a activities under the wile o f prevent cf other criminal. E massage. He indicated his willingness to work out an acceptable solution. Dr. Gary Pe Nliebenstein, chiropractor, spore in support massage therapists and stated that most therapists p o f the erapists are qualified health profes- sionals who have a place in the health care services in Chapel Hill* Chair Willhoit noted that if the County adopted the Ordinance it would not apply to any of the municipalities, Allen Stuttal massage therapist in Chapel Hill indicated crime to regulate � ed it is a E people who are professionals by requiring fingerprints and g shots* He asked that the County meet with the p on an o�"�.irYa�.ce which will e'� ����� therapists �� work both the needs of the County and the needs of the massage therapists, He favors something that would h ' their effort. alp the Community in Ellen Mitchell, practitioner of massage there in her h be- lieves in the value of a card touch and in therapy home, d indicated that if the Ord,inanc a is i adopted as is, it will set back the practice of massage there in this area. It would be humiliating to comply with the Or therapy � � Ordinance.e. She asked that the Board consider the Ordinance written by the North Carolina Usociation of Sod . Therapy* Y Wynn Barnhart, staff member at the Wholistic Health Centers told about the massage training program in Chapel Hill which is the largest and of two in the State. Massage sa',ge is a therapeutic tic he o ��� p health care medallion. Scott H Ansley q student Of massage, would like Ora r a County and Chapel Hill to adopt the Ordinance in tandem for ma imum enforcement* He noted it important to distinguish between legal and illegal massage therapists and encouraged the Board to reOnsider the Ordinance and not put everyone in with the prostitutes. It is degrading and does not serve any purpose in the community* He asked that the Board develop professional standards for massage .therapy. Teresa Jeanne Lecnarz noted that everything the "massage parlors" are doing is already illegal and there are legal means for these people to be brought before the law and stopped. She emphasized there are creative ways to get rid of the massage parlors without an ordinance that would require finger prints, mug shots, etc. The problem has been exaggerated g and does not really involve that many peoples It is not the governments place to decide who is qualified to give a good massage; it is the customer who will decide that. She stated she feels a massage ordinance is not necessary. Chair Don Willhoit referred the proposed Massage Ordinance to the staff for further 0onsideration and a forthcoming recommendation* Commissioner Carey asked Dick Baser about the train i.r and educa- tional requirements of the American Massage Therapist and Rosen indicated he would provide that information to him.
