Fortuna City Council is set to take the first reading of an ordinance that would create a new chapter in the municipal code regulating massage establishments.
The item appears on the council’s Sept. 8 regular meeting agenda as Ordinance 2026-788, which would add Chapter 5.30 to the Fortuna Municipal Code. The agenda packet identifies the measure as a first-reading item, but does not show any vote or final action.
The agenda materials do not provide the draft ordinance’s full enforcement or permitting details, and no discussion outcome is included in the packet reviewed. The council’s consideration of the item is separate from other agenda business, including a proposal related to a NorCal SBDC neighborhood branch and a hiring freeze exception for a Finance Office Supervisor position.
