for a massage therapist license due to the applicant not meeting Elk River City Code requirements; and WHEREAS, on February 1, 2016, a hearing was held by the Elk River City Council to consider ChunXing Lin's request for a Massage Therapist License; and WHEREAS, at this hearing the applicant and all others wishing to speak had opportunity to present evidence and testimony for his case. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Elk River, Minnesota, that the Massage Therapist License request by ChunXing Lin, who is seeking employment at Joy Massage, located at 19242 Evans Street, NW, in the City of Elk River is denied based on the following findings: 1. City Code §38-224(c)(1) Denial, suspension, or revocation, provides for license denial when — "The license application contains any false, fraudulent, or deceptive statements and such statements are grounds for revocation or suspension of the license." The denial is based on the untruthful answers provided by ChunXing Lin who declared the information in his application to be truthful and understood that falsification of answers may result in denial of the license. 2. City Code §38-243 (a) Educational Requirements, provides for license denial when — "Each applicant for a massage therapist license shall furnish with the application proof of the following: (1) a diploma or certificate of graduation from a school approved by the American Massage Therapist Association or other similar reputable massage association; (2) a diploma or certificate of graduation from a school which is either accredited by a recognized educational accrediting association or agency, or is recognized by the state higher education coordinating board or other state agency having jurisdiction over the school." The denial is based on ChunXing Lin not meeting the educational requirements of Elk River City Code. 3. The findings in the recitals set forth above, which are based upon the city's investigation into the application submitted by ChunXing Lin, are incorporated into this decision along with the entire record on this matter. Passed and adopted this 15` day of February 2016. John J. Dietz, Mayor ATTEST: Tina Allard, City Clerk AUR
