Summary
Lakeville council approved an ordinance updating code language on licensing investigations, fingerprinting, consent and applicant cooperation for adult‑oriented businesses and massage establishments to align with Minnesota state statutes.
Lakeville council voted to adopt an ordinance amending several sections of city code to clarify the city’s authority for licensing background investigations, fingerprinting, consent requirements and applicant cooperation standards for adult‑oriented businesses and massage-therapy establishments.
Miss Orlovsky presented the ordinance, saying the updates are intended to ensure compliance with Minnesota state statutes. Councilmember (speaker 16) moved adoption, a councilmember seconded, and the council approved the ordinance by roll-call vote with all present voting in favor.
