�here Pride and P�OSPerity Meet
To� Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Neil Belscamper, Administrative Assistant
Date: May 8, 2014
Subject: Whole Health Massage Business License Application
Background
Whole Health Massage LLC, which is solely owned and operated by Tamara McGinn, has
applied for a massage business license to operate at 8800 East Point Douglas Road. Ms.
McGinn has also applied for a massage therapist license. Her business will operate alongside
Whole Health Chiropractic, LLC at the same address. Ms. McGinn holds a diploma from Globe
University in Massage Therapy.
Cottage Grove City Code requires that notices be mailed to property owners and residents
within a 500-foot radius of the business property at least 15 days before the hearing. Notices
were mailed to these addresses on May 2, 2014 to satisfy the requirement.
The Public Safety Department conducted the required background investigation and no facts
were found that would constitute a basis for denial of the applications.
City Code Title 3-8-2-C allows the massage business license fee to be waived when a
massage business is owned and operated by a sole massage therapist. Ms. McGinn has paid
the initial prorated massage therapist license fee and the investigation fee. If Ms. McGinn
eventually hires an additional therapist, the massage business license fee would no longer be
waived.
Recommendation
Hold the public hearing and authorize issuance of the massage business license to Whole
Health Massage LLC, and the massage therapist license to Tamara McGinn.
