AGENDA

 

Deanna M. Fraschilla, Deanna's Healing Hands

Revoke massage business/therapist licenses

 

A few minutes before the meeting was to begin, Jane Evans received a phone call from a law firm representing Ms. Fraschilla. They asked that the meeting be postponed. Jane explained this was an emergency meeting and it would not be postponed. Jane will copy necessary correspondence to the attorney.

 

Jane presented her written account of the situation (attached) to the board. She also pointed out the local health regulations that were being violated: Part IV, Article 1, section 6, subsections L, N, O and Q.

 

Before discussion began in earnest, Dan Brown informed the board that his partner holds a massage therapist/home business license. All agreed that, under the circumstances, it would be best for him to step down. Dan left the room and Vice-Chair Duane Gregory took over the meeting.

 

The health agent, health inspector and the remaining board members had a great deal of discussion regarding the seriousness of the violations and the threat to the public health. Based on the discussion, Duane Gregory offered to make a motion.

 

Motion: Duane Gregory made a motion pursuant to Part IV, Article 1, Section 8 of the Provincetown Board of Health Regulations to:

 

1.     Revoke the massage therapist license issued to Deanna M. Fraschilla d.b.a. Deanna's Healing Hands

2.     Revoke the massage business license issued for 206 Commercial Street, Unit 1C.

3.     Issue a fine of $100.00. Each day in violation of this order will constitute a separate offense and will be fined accordingly.

4.     Require Ms. Fraschilla to surrender the massage therapist and the massage business licenses issued by the Town of Provincetown to the Health Agent or Health Inspector immediately upon receipt of this order.

 

Ken Jansen seconded the motion and it passed 3-0-0.

 

Motion: Duane Gregory made a motion to adjourn. Ken Janson seconded the motion and it passed 3-0-0.

 

The meeting adjourned at 3:35pm.

 

Respectfully submitted,

 

Duane Gregory, Vice-Chair
