2. It is unlawful for any licensee, or for any sex worker or employee of such licensee, to compel, entice, encourage, permit or suffer any person under the age of twenty one (21) years, to enter a house of prostitution or be a patron of any brothel.
B. Advertising: It is unlawful for anyone who is not properly licensed by the City to own or operate a brothel, to advertise prostitution within the City by use of print, television or radio media, computers, flyers, CB radio, telephone books or any other form of advertising.
C. Work Without Permit: It is unlawful for any brothel, licensee or employee of any licensee to allow any sex worker, bartender or manager, or any employee who resides on the premises of a house of prostitution, to work for or on behalf of a brothel without that person first obtaining a valid work card from the police. Notwithstanding the foregoing, persons performing part time maintenance or repair work or delivering supplies to a brothel or house of prostitution are not required to obtain a work permit for the performance of such duties unless they reside on the premises of the brothel or within the house of prostitution.
D. Translators: In the event a sex worker does not speak fluent English, a translator shall be supplied whenever communication between the sex worker and City staff is requested by either the sex worker or the City or otherwise required. The foregoing includes, without limitation, the requirement that there is a translator whenever a police officer seeks to communicate directly with a sex worker. The translator must be a natural person who is properly trained and competent to translate between English and the native language of the sex worker. The translator may be present by telephone or other electronic means, so long as the means of communication is reliable and audible. (Ord. 837, 1-8-2019)
