B
You,
madam
chair,
and
this
is
a
basically
a
study
to
look
on
to
look
at
the
proposal
for
a
cooperative
public
market
at
2,600
mini
high
in
war
2,
and
we're
very
excited
about
this.
The
community
has
been
the
exaction
communities
from
other
normal
community
have
been
asking
for
ownership
of
a
market.
B
As
you
are
aware,
the
structures
in
place
right
now
have
caused
a
great
deal
of
hardship,
foot
of
the
community
as
well
as
as
it
the
neighbors
in
Phillips
and
NVIDIA,
and
the
aim
of
this
is
to
give
success
to
startup
immigrant
owned
businesses
in
our
city
in
order
to
eliminate
disparities
and
to
ensure
that
community
assets
are
preserved
and
strengthened,
as
well
as
to
increase
the
tax
base.
So
I'm
very
excited
about
this
and
I.
Thank
you
for
the
work
that
you've
done
on
this
and
all
your
support.
Thank
You
councillor.
C
You
madam
chair
I'd,
like
to
thank
both
staff
as
well
as
council,
member
of
the
or
Sami
for
leadership
on
this
project.
This
is
no
small
endeavor
when
you're
talking
about
issuing
off
a
a
city
parcel
creating
ownership
within
the
Somali
community
for
the
long
haul,
and
also
you
know,
I-
guess
helping
entrepreneurs
really
run
with
some
tremendous
ideas.
I
think
this
is
a
project
that
is
right.
It's
a
project
that
I'm
very
excited
about
on
behalf
of
the
Somali
community.

The
last
item
on
our
agenda
today
is
a
quasi-judicial
public
hearing
chaired
by
the
vice
chair
of
the
committee
councilmember
fry.
We.
C
M
You
mr.
chair
I
can
represent
the
city
with
regard
to
this
matter.
Initially,
I
do
know
that
a
translator
was
brought
in
at
the
evidentiary
hearing
in
this
matter,
although
I
don't
believe
she
was
utilized
and
a
translator
is
available
today
for
the
licensee
and
I'd
like
to
inquire
counsel
for
the
licensee.
If
they
want
to
utilize
the
services
of
translator.
M
Thank
You
mr.
chair
and
committee
members,
this
matter
involves
the
business
license
held
by
orchid,
massage
spa
and
its
owner
Julia
Wang
for
a
massage
parlor
located
at
49
33
34th
Avenue
South
in
Ward
12,
specifically,
it
concerns
the
recommendation
of
business
licensing
staff
to
deny
renewal
of
the
massage
and
bodywork
license
held
by
the
business.
An
evidentiary
hearing
was
held
in
this
matter
on
May
30th
in
front
of
Minneapolis
hearing
officer
Michael
sent
and
on
June
29th.
M
He
issued
his
detailed
findings
of
fact,
conclusions
of
law
and
licensing
recommendation,
which
is
now
in
front
of
this
committee.
I
should
also
note,
as
I
believe,
you're
aware
that
counsel
for
the
licensee
submitted
objections
and
some
other
documents
regarding
his
clients
position
recently,
and
they
were
also
distributed
and
provided
to
the
committee
members.
In
the
hearing
officers
recommendation.
He
found
that
good
cause
exists
to
deny
the
renewal
of
the
business
license.
M
The
hearing
officers
license
denial
recommendation
was
predicated
on
several
ordinance
violations
and
other
findings
of
inadequate
and
substandard
business
management
practices,
leading
him
to
agree
with
staff
that
renewal
of
the
license
would
not
serve
the
public
interest.
The
hearing
officer
found
violations
and
deficiencies
in
five
general
areas
of
the
business
operation.
M
Additionally,
false
representations
made
by
the
licensee
regarding
the
completion
of
the
work
violate
violate
multiple
business
life
management
responsibilities
found
in
the
ordinance
second,
the
licensee
violated
applicable
ordinance
requirements
by
not
having
required
staff
employment
records
immediately
available
to
licensed
inspectors
during
the
course
of
their
site,
inspection
or
even
present.
On-Site
counsel
for
the
licensee
in
his
submissions
has
argued
that
this
requirement
is
legally
invalid.
However,
as
a
closely
regulated
industry,
the
requirement
is
legally
supportable
and
valid,
and
an
important
regulatory
tool
dysreflexia.
M
That
the
massage
parlor
or
massage
and
bodywork
license
establishment
must
keep
on
premises
records
of
all
of
their
employees
in
order
to
prove
that
affair
of
age
and
qualified
to
work.
Thirdly,
during
the
on-site
inspection
of
the
business,
the
licensee
incredulously
claims
to
have
left
in
charge
of
the
facility
a
woman.
She
had
only
met
that
day
so
that
she
could
go
shopping
and
dine
at
a
restaurant.
The
licensee
testified
that
she
did
not
have
any
identification
for.
The
woman
could
not
recall.
M
Her
name
had
only
met
her
that
morning
to
interview
her
for
a
masseuse
position
and
had
not
completed
any
background
check
on
her.
Despite
all
of
this,
the
licensees
own
testimony
adhering
indicated
that
she
nonetheless
decided
to
grant
this
unidentified
person
complete
dominion
over
the
business.
While
she
was
away,
the
licensee
was
unable
to
say
whether
the
woman
was
an
employee
or
not.
M
At
the
time,
the
unidentified
individual
who
was
left
in
charge
told
the
inspectors
that
she
was
the
only
one
present
at
the
business,
a
claim
that
proved
to
be
false
when
a
masseuse
and
a
customer
were
confirmed
to
be
on
site
before
retreating
into
a
back
massage
room.
Therefore,
neither
the
licensee
nor
a
proper
manager
was
president
the
facility
during
this
time,
leading
to
a
conclusion
that
the
business
was
not
being
run
in
a
responsible,
a
reasonable
manner,
or
that
the
licensee
was
being
intentionally.
M
The
hearing
officer
also
found
that
the
totality
of
the
operational
observations
derived
from
the
investigation
into
the
establishment
constitutes
good
cause
for
licensed
denial.
This
was
based
on
the
extensive
expertise
and
professional
knowledge
of
commercial
sex
and
trafficking
related
enforcement
by
the
business
licensing
staff
that
were
assigned
to
this
matter.
M
Conversely,
the
hearing
officer
specifically
found
that
the
test
business
license
staff
was
credible
in
fact
based
and
that
the
licensees
own
testimony
largely
supported
the
conclusions
that
were
ultimately
drawn
there
for
the
business
licensing
division,
requests
that
this
committee
adopt
the
report
and
recommendation
of
the
hearing
ups
or
in
its
entirety,
and
deny
the
license
renewal
application
before
you.
Thank
you.
Thank.
C
C
C
Okay,
seeing
none
I
will
open
the
hearing
here
and
read
an
introductory
statement.
This
is
a
quasi-judicial
business
license
hearing,
for
which
this
committee
is
limited
by
law,
to
hearing
argument
from
the
licensee
or
the
licensees
representative,
but
is
prohibited
from
considering
any
further
evidence
or
taking
any
further
testimony.
C
C
J
K
L
L
The
testimony
before
the
hearing
officer
was
that
in
the
November
inspection
they
found
a
boarded-up
winner.
The
licensee
testified
that
she
went
to
the
landlord
got
the
existing
board
replaced
by
by
a
sheetmetal
painted
the
same
color
as
the
building
that
food
on
it
unacceptable
of
the
city.
She
turned
it
in
to
the
insurance
carrier,
left
it
to
the
insurance
carrier.
The
insurance
carrier
repair
the
window
by
March
when
the
license
window
the
license
application
was
made.
So
by
the
time
the
license
application
was
made,
the
window
had
been
fully
repaired.
L
The
ordinances
in
question
say
you
cannot
make
a
false
representation
in
the
course
of
an
application
for
a
license.
Why?
Even
assuming
what
my
client
told
the
city
back
in
November,
it
wasn't,
it
was
false.
It
wasn't
in
connection
with
the
application
for
a
license.
No
city,
no
city
ordinance
was
violated
and
by
the
time
a
new
license,
application
was
submitted.
The
window
had
been
fully
repaired
with
respect
to
the
parking
lot
early,
Parton
that
customers
parked
the
block
away.
L
L
She
was
in
the
middle
of
an
interview
for
a
prospective
masseuse
she'll.
She
testified
that
she
had
to
go,
go
to
Ikea
to
get
some
materials
and
was
going
to
go
to
lunch
and
invited
this.
This
new
prospective
employee
to
go
she's
the
new
prospective
employee
says
you
just
don't
go,
I
can
stay
here
and
watch
things
and
it
may
not
have
been
live
up
in
the
wisest
business
decision
to
make,
but
it
doesn't
violate
the
ordinance
you're.
L
She
wasn't
an
employee,
didn't
have
thank
you
and
maintenance
of
Records
on
her
or
not
were
not
required
under
the
terms
of
the
ordinance.
In
fact,
she
has
chased
her
down
and
provided
a
declaration.
We
know
exactly
who
she
is.
We
know
she's,
not
underage
she's,
licensed
to
fry
nail
services
in
the
state
of
New
York.
And
what
happened
is
these
officers
simply
scared
her
away?
She,
it
wasn't
able
to
identify
our
because
she
blocked
phone
calls
and
scared
from
participating,
given
the
fact
that
she
was
subjected
to
interrogation
in
a
language
she
didn't
understand.
C
C
L
C
The
law
requires
that
you
have
records
of
all
employees
on
the
premises,
so
either
one
the
law
was
broken
very
clearly
or
two.
It
appears
that
it
I
mean
this.
Just
this
story
doesn't
make
sense.
I
hope
you
can
kind
of
work
with
me
on
this.
It
doesn't
make
sense
that
you
would
let
someone
who
you
just
met
on
that
day
run
your
entire
business.
While
you
go
to
lunch,
that.
L
L
With
with
respect
to
advertising
on
back
pages,
first
of
all,
the
finding
that
that
was
her
exclusive
method
of
advertising
is
absolutely
unsupported
by
the
record
she
advertised
on
city
pages
yet
advertised
on
Google
she
advertised
on
Facebook
and
Twitter,
all
of
which
was
testified
to
and
the
city
employee
said.
I
have
no
I
didn't
check
out
any
advertising
except
back
pages.
Secondly,
back
pages
is
clearly
not
clearly
not
be.
L
This
clearly
doesn't
relate
exclusively
to
illegal
activity.
In
fact,
the
United
States
Court
of
Appeals
for
the
Seventh
Circuit
enjoying
the
Cook
County
Sheriff
from
attempting
to
intimidate
credit
card
companies
from
using
from
supporting
back
pages,
specifically
finding
that
back
pages
is
not
exclusively
a
site
dedicated
to
illegal
activity.
I.
L
Think
what
is
absolutely
the
most
absurd
finding
it
finding
it
all
by
the
hearing
office
conclusion
number
nine
relating
to
the
independent
contractor
agreement
signed
by
everyone
who
works
there,
and
what
that
agreement
essentially
says
is
first
you're
prohibited
from
engaging
in
illegal
activity.
Secondly,
if
you
do
it
you're
on
your
own,
it
means
we
will
figure.
We
will
bail
you
out
of
jail.
We
will
provide
you
an
attorney.
We
will
pay
your
fines.
You
are
on
your
own
to
suggest
that
this
somehow
continent,
countenances
illegal
activity,
is
utter
nonsense.
L
What
if
the
agreement
said
exactly
the
opposite?
What
if
the
agreement
said,
if
you
get
arrested
for
illegal
activity,
will
bail
you
out
of
jail,
will
hire
you
a
lawyer
and
will
pay
your
fines.
Mr.
Fosse
would
be
screaming
bloody
murder
that
we
were
subsidizing
prostitution.
The
agreement
she
had
is
exactly
is
exactly
what
you.
What.
L
Someone
who
doesn't
countenance
prostitution
on
the
premises
would
do,
and
yes,
she
cast
off'
ID
prostitution
might
happen.
That's
a
statement
that
every
single
licensee
of
a
massage
establishment
could
make.
It
is
physically
impossible
to
guarantee
the
prostitution
won't
take
place
on
any
premises,
massage
or
not,
and
I
would
suggest
to
you
that
there's
not
a
member
of
this
committee
who
couldn't
guarantee
that
prostitution
won't
be
solicited
someday
in
Minneapolis
City
off
for
her
to
say
that
prostitution,
she
can't
that
prostitution
might
occur.
L
Diva
motion
prohibits
it
even
if,
even
though
she
says
you're
going
to
be
fired
right
away,
if
you
do
it,
even
if
she
said
we'll
give
you
no
support,
if
you
get,
if
you
get
arrested
for
it,
there
is
nothing
any
business
owner
could
say
that
would
go
beyond,
and
this
doesn't
in
the
slightest
way
suggest
that
prostitution
that
prostitution
won't
be
considered.
Now
there
was
a
reference
made
to
a
website
that
reviews
houses
of
prostitution
introduced
into
evidence,
was
an
ad
from
that
website.
L
Reviewing
massage
parlors
and
this
massage
parlor
was
specifically
labeled
as
non
erotic,
and
if
you
look
at
the
reviews,
the
reviews
that
are
cited
there,
they
clearly
say
you
don't
get
any
sexual
services
at
this
site.
Now
a
remark
was
made
about
about
there
being
no
evidence
that
this
decision
by
the
city
was
racially
motivated.
I
would
suggest
that
you
that
the
evidence
the
city
introduced
says
exactly
the
opposite.
L
L
L
C
I
K
M
C
N
What
make
me
brief
is
like
I,
said:
I
feel
I
have
to
stand
up
to
face
the
public
to
speak
out,
because
I
want
you
to
give
me
a
fire
judgment,
not
only
because
I'm
Asia
I'm
Chinese,
because
I
have
left
no
any
evidence
that
I'm
engaged
with
human
trafficking
or
prostitution
in
my
business
I
do
have
a
Messier
bathroom
and
the
it's
not
on
is
not
a
bad.
It's
a
two
broken
massage
table.
It's
old
used
in
massage
table
I
put
it
there
because
massage
is
a
heavy-duty
work.
N
Sometimes
that
will
get
really
tired,
lay
on
the
massage
table
to
relax
it's
going
to
give
other
back
relief
at
the
one
thing
I
want
to
mention:
it's
not
bad.
It's
too
old,
massage
table.
Second
I
want
to
talking
about
our
eating
habit:
a
Chinese
okay,
we
like
to
eat
warm
food,
we're
never
enjoying
kodaline
to
necessarily
agendas
coca-cola
or
something
we
like
to
eat
own
food.
We
like
either
water
rice
with
some
vegetable,
so
I
provide
a
rice
cooker
in
my
massage
parlour
bathroom.
That's
for
my
in
heat
any
the
contracts.
N
Sometimes
they
want
cooking
us
just
the
right.
Some
swim
right,
that's
what
I
provide
for
them,
but
is
that
not
necessarily
means
I
have
people
today
overnight?
In
my
massage
parlor
assertable
I
went
talking
about
the
English,
I
mean
talking
habit,
I
come
to
the
United,
States
2003
and
now
I'm
a
citizen.
N
She
already
tells
the
inspectors
that
my
English
is
back.
I
have
I,
don't
understand
why
they
cannot
put
interpreter
on
line
to
talk
to
them,
so
everything
will
be
much
clearer,
so
they
are
not
thinking.
This
person
is
letter
under
age,
where
it's
like
a
cousin.
She
totally
to
understand
she
already
that
my
english
is
bad.
You
know
how
could
you
tell
any
resort
that?
Because
someone
cannot
have
to
be
good,
English
I
didn't
believe
that
is
to
like
100%,
uncontrolled
by
her
it's
because
it's
not
our
business
is
not
too
busy.
N
Yeah
I
invited
her
to
join
me
for
London.
She
said
she's
got
on
her.
She
said
you
go
yes,
customer
coming
I
would
tell
them
to
it.
For
you
and
the
that's
the
fact
that
customer
coming,
she
said,
look
the
muscles
not
here.
Will
you
be
able
to
wait
in
the
room
and
the
customers
that
okay
and
she'll
lead
him
to
the
rooms
and
the
letters
he'll
justice
waiting
inside
of
the
room?
I?
Don't
I
believe
that
they?
N
She
is
the
only
one
there
where
I'm
out
I,
don't
know,
there's
an
another
another
female,
whatever
it
matter
be
in
another
couple,
massage
I
mean
a
couple:
it
might
have
been
another
cop
or
customer
who
coming
to
searching
for
massage
services,
because
the
that
day,
I
should
have
one
more
staff
working.
Who
is
my
true
a
letter
currently
working
with
who
workings
at
that
time
and
the
she
is
still
working
for
me
even
here
today,
so
she
working
for
me
for
more
than
a
year
now
she
just
to
take
a
day
off
cause.
N
G
C
N
N
She
was
the
time
that
a
girl
was
the
faith
and
the
day
when
inspector
inspector
coming
she
was
asleep.
She
is
supposed
to
work
she's
she
and
me
supposed
to
work
together.
She
is
a
sick
other
than
I
was
leaking,
no
one
to
the
work
in
seven
days.
So
I
was
thinking,
hire
a
second
person,
so
we
could
take
turn
to
get
some
days
off.
That's
why
I'm
start
of
interview
persons
other
than
this
girl.
Her
husband
dropped
her
in
around
10
a.m.
N
N
So
those
two
person
was
my
employee,
but
this
young
girl
she's,
not
young
she's
35
years
old,
she's
younger
than
me,
though
yeah
this
lady
shipping
out
my
employee
at
that
that
time
and
she
got
really
scared,
because
a
police
officer
coming
and
the
two
lady
from
the
Latin
Center
coming,
she
don't
know,
what's
goin
on
she's,
really
scared.
Okay,.
I
O
The
good
afternoon,
my
name
is
Ryan
in
case
downtown,
st.
Paul
Minnesota
I
was
the
trial
counsel
for
Miss,
Wang
and
I
will
be
handling
any
further
Appeals
for
Miss
Wang,
which
there
will
be
because
I
want
to
be
very
blunt.
With
this
committee
I
practice
law
for
15
years.
I
know
you
are
shutting
down
a
business
because
of
a
broken
window.
That's
it.
There
was
never
any
sexual
services
in
this
place.
You
have
no
evidence
of
it.
None
zero
zilch!
O
You
want
to
shut
down
a
Chinese
owned
business
because
of
a
broken
window.
I
live
in
st.
Paul
and
I'm,
watching
this
mayor's
race,
with
a
lot
of
curiosity,
because
every
one
of
you
talks
about
diversity
and
how
you
want
that
for
this
city,
but
as
soon
as
a
couple
neighbors
complain
about
a
Chinese,
massage
parlor,
you
forget
what
actual
diversity
means.
Let
me
be
very
clear:
there
was
never
a
sexual
trafficking
in
this
business.
O
What
you
heard
and
I
hope
you
got
the
transcript
of
the
hearing,
because
it's
clear,
if
you
read
the
transcript,
this
city
did
not
prove
anything.
You
want
to
shut
down
a
business
for
a
broken
window
and
I
believe
you
want
to
shut
down
our
business
for
a
broken
window,
because
it's
owned
by
a
Chinese
woman.
Thank
you.
C
M
Well,
mr.
chair
and
committee
members,
as
referenced
in
the
record
and
in
the
findings,
the
license
inspectors
that
were
assigned
to
this
in,
in
particular
like
inspector
Beth,
Roberts
who's
now
employed
with
the
state
human
trafficking
task
force,
has
extensive
expertise
in
commercial
sex
in
the
commercial
sex
enforcement
and
regulation
area
and
based
on
her
expertise
and
experience.
A
lot
of
the
factors
that
she
saw
here
and
specifically
the
admission
the
testimonial
admission
of
the
licensee
that
passed,
the
legal
sex
acts
had
taken
place.
Where
was
the
testimonial
admission?
A
M
Well,
we
have
extensive
and
broad,
or
you
have
extensive
and
broad
authority
and
the
issuance
in
considerations
of
license
applications
and
license
matters,
and
specifically
that
includes
an
examination
of
good
cause
which
is
included
within
our
ordinance
and
which
has
been
recognized
by
Minnesota
courts,
and
it
includes
an
examination
of
the
public
interest
and
I
think
that
the
record
in
this
matter
cites
to
numerous
ordinances
which
were
violated.
I
certainly
concede
that
this
is
not
a
case
in
which
we
have
an
undercover
prostitution,
sting
or
something
along
those
lines.
M
But
I
would
also
submit
that
weird
we
would
you
were,
that
is
not
a
prerequisite
for
a
license
denial
or
a
license.
Non-Renewal
and
coupled
with
the
strong
evidence
of
the
testimonial
admissions
and
the
other
ordinance
violations
that
have
occurred
here.
It's
the
business
license
departments
recommendation
that
continued
operation
of
this
business
would
not
be
in
the
public
interest,
and
the
hearing
officer
agreed
with
that
recommendation,
and
that
is
what
is
before
you.
Mr.
A
M
Mr.
chair
and
committee
members,
it
certainly
has
been
a
theme
of
their
of
their
defense
in
this
matter,
I'm
unaware
of
any
evidence
in
examining
this
matter
and
in
dealing
with
my
clients
in
the
business
licensing
division.
That
would
lead
me
to
conclude
that
that's
justified
and
in
fact
the
hearing
officer
went
out
of
his
way
to
make
a
specific
finding
that
it
was
not
Thank.
C
M
Mr.
chair
and
committee
members-
and
yes,
that's
that's
how
I
would
view
that
and
I
think
how
the
hearing
officer
viewed
it
is
that
there
is
a
requirement
under
the
minneapolis
ordinance
that
licensees
of
these
establishments
are
both
directly
and
vicariously
liable
for
the
actions
of
their
employees
and
independent
contractors,
any
staff,
members
and
so
by
operation
of
that
ordinance.
I
think
it
is
implicated
and
I
think
that
that
provides
an
additional
component
of
good
cause
to
deny
in
this
life
and.
