5.09.190 - Inspection of business records.

If the city administrator believes that a regular and substantial portion of a business operating within the city has the characteristics of a massage establishment, regardless of whether the business has been issued a current massage establishment permit, then the city administrator may require that the business make available for review by the city's authorized representative, at reasonable times and places, complete records of the businesses' transactions, including its sales, receipts, purchases and other expenditures. In the event such records cannot be made available within the city of Commerce or within a distance of fifty miles therefrom, the operator of the business is required to reimburse the city for the cost of all transportation, lodging, meals, portal to portal travel, time and other incidental costs reasonably incurred by the city in performing such audit.
