Dominic LaRusso, 21+1+ West 37th Avenue, chairman of the Oregon State Board of Health, Division of Massage, strongly urged adoption of the ordinance. - He said it is not only proper, but de- manded, from the standpoint of danger to the community in that activities which would be pro- hibited by this ordinance go beyond the point of personal gratification. He said :there is no doubt organized crime is involved. ,John Cassell" ,357 East 15th Avenue" also urged passage of the ordinance. David James, owner of the Adult Book Store at 1325 Willamette Street, said Federal and State governments decided they were not competent to legislate morality through enactment of laws re- stricting sexual 'conduct between consenting adults. Mr. LaRusso said adoption of this ordinance would be proper since it attacks a particuiaractivity at the moment 'rather than through busi- ness licensing. Mrs. Beal 'and Mrs. Campbell both favored passage of the ordinance, commenting on 'undesirability ~. of activities which it is attempting to curb. Councilman Bradshaw remarked that it is more a ! matter of legislating a business activity rather than morals, and said it would aid in prevent- ing a drain on law enforcement personnel and funds because of related activities. Councilman Mohr referred to recommendations of the Attorney General and,Federal Circuit Court in Portland that there may be other avenues to attack the problem which may not call for the ar- rest of individuals - licensing massage parlors, for instance, which if violated would call for closure of an entire establishment rather than arrest of one person. He questioned what addi- tional police enforcement activities would be involved which 'cannot be 'handled by existing ordinances, and suggested establishment of a: review committee after passage of this ordinance to explore problems which may be encountered in its enforcement. Mr. Teague expressed the opinion that problems encountered in enforcement of City ordinances are usually brought out in normal routine. He said he feels there is need for adoption of this ordinance at the present time. Mr. Mohr moved seconded by Mrs. Bealthat the bill be read the second time by council bill number only, with unanimous consent of the Council, and that enactment be con- sidered at this time. Motion carried unanimously and the bill was read the second time py council bill numb~r only. . tiF'''~Mohr moved seconded by Mrs; BecU that the bill be approved and given final passage; Rollcalr-Vote. ' All councilmen present voting aye, the bill was declared passed and numbered 16626. -Z 90 9/25(72 - 12
