Dr. Fred Ferlic, Chairperson, Health &Public Safety Committee called the hearing to
order calling upon the Council Attorney to explain the content of Bill No. 65-12
regulating massage parlors in the city.
Kathy Cekanski-Farrand described the bill as a housekeeping measure meant to keep
South Bend's ordinance in compliance with changes in state law. City Attorney Aladean
DeRose offered support for the changes saying the changes were well drafted.
Karen White asked if the County Council was making similar updates. The answer given
from both attorneys was that they were adding that the County Health Department would
continue inspections for health& safety requirements.
Karen motioned the bill be sent to full Council favorably. Tim Scott supported with a
second and all affirmed.
Under miscellaneous Council President Derek Dieter said a notification protocol for all
Councilmember's whenever a major crime, accident or environmental threat occurs was
still being worked on. This reflects the stated wishes of the Council to be "kept in the
loop."
