6.1.A. - Page 47 Council was supportive of following the State Law and only allowed state - certified massage workers and businesses. One Council Member suggested sending a letter from the Council to the County encouraging them to pass a similar ordinance. Vice Mayor Aguirre supported this idea adding that it would be favorable to have the County of San Mateo be a partner in this effort. Council also asked staff to continue discussion with Ms. May on the issue of certification to make sure there were no unintended circumstances. Mayor Ira appreciated the way staff was addressing this issue and he was sad that Redwood City is getting a bad reputation when only legitimate establishments exist in our boundaries.

According to him, most of the water was not generated in Redwood City but from Menlo Park, Woodside and Santa Clara County. He added that there wasn't one solution that would provide 100% protection because of all the variables. He offered his commitment to listen and continue the dialogue to better assess solutions and options with other jurisdictions. His goal tonight was to apprise the Council of where staff was on this matter and confirm JOINT CITY COUNCIL/REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOARD October 24, 2011 MEETING MINUTES PAGE 7
