Other Business
Assistant City Attorney Pete Ruggiero informed the Authority that
City Council is considering a proposal for the creation of a
massage parlor licensing ordinance. He explained that the State
Statutes provide that massage parlor licenses can be granted by
the State or by a local licensing authority. If the City Council
decides to create an ordinance which licenses massage parlors,
they can either consider the matters themselves, refer them to
an existing board, or create a new board. Pete added that there
• -5- . October 15, 1980
are similarities between the procedures for massage parlor
licensing and liquor licensing, i.e., petitions, needs of the
neighborhood, boundaries, etc. Pete also added that he does
not foresee any more than two or three licenses per year.
Pete stated that Council requested that staff bring this
matter up for discussion before the Authority.
Authority member Renz stated that she has very negative feelings
toward massage parlors due to conflicts arising from her job.
She also stated she feels it would be a good idea for Council
to handle the licenses in the beginning and then turn them over
to another board.
Authority member Long stated he had no objections.
Authority member Bujack stated he had no objections.
The concensus of the board was 2-1.

for Albertson's. Mr. Lerew explained that Albertson's does a
economic feasibility study to determine if their proposed sites
have enough traffic to substantiate a business in the area.
He noted that the results of the study show 8,500 people a
week would patronize their store at the Mason site.
Mr. Lerew explained that a manager has not been assigned to this
store yet because it is Albertson's policy not to assign a
manager until 30 days prior to opening date, which will be
January 15. Mr. Lerew stated he is aware that the newly
assigned manager will have to be fingerprinted and investigated.
Mr. Jaunarajs introduced Mr. Charles Cump, 1526 South Pennsylvania,
Denver, Co, who was sworn and stated that he conducts surveys
and circulates petitions for liquor license applicants. Mr.

outside the area.

had been circulated on behalf of the application and noted that
