… This is a great accomplishment for the borough,” he said.
He said the rating agencies cited the borough’s careful  use of surplus, judicious tax policy and careful budget management as the reasons to support the AAA bond rating.
Former Mayor Al Morgan said work on the AAA began in 2002 when chief financial officer Kenneth DeRoberts said instead of just attacking conventional budget items, the borough should attack “unconventional” items, and suggested that a AAA bond rating was possible.
“We can all be very proud of what happened here,”  Morgan said.
In other business, the council approved changes to the land use ordinance that would exclude a massage parlor as a principal use within  the commercial district, and define the service of massage under the personal services section of the ordinance.

Munoz had urged the chairman to yank freeholder advertisements from a popular tri-county Spanish language newspaper, saying that the paper allowed advertising for massage parlors – one of which recently was busted for allegedly operating a house of prostitution.
The exchange came at the end of the April 24 freeholder caucus when Munoz asked the chairman to yank the ads.
“The Union City massage parlor advertised in this newspaper,” Munoz said. “I do not think this board should be associated with such advertising.”
But Rivera said he was aware that Munoz had a personal issue with the paper and that Rivera was not going to allow Munoz to use the freeholders to settle the issue.

Munoz, however, argued that his concern with the newspaper only involved the fact that it advertised items such as massage parlors, and that he had confronted the publisher over these advertisements.

The borough council introduced the ordinance April 23, with a plan to hold a public hearing  by the end of May.
The changes offer new definitions of such establishments, rules of operations and requirements for  the professionals who provide services .
Board attorney William  Robertson said that the rewrite needed to be clearer, and suggested the new definitions of spa/day spa and the service of massage be closely correlated with the language in the business district portion of the ordinance  that identifies a spa as an approved use, and the service of massage be aligned with the definitions of the service in the “personal services” section.

A low-rent massage parlor — located near a prestigious Bronx prep school and a museum that once housed Martha Washington’s wedding dress — keeps rubbing its neighbors the wrong way.
New Healing Touch has repeatedly reopened after prostitution stings at its dingy storefront business on the border of the upscale sections of Riverdale and Fieldston, much to the chagrin of residents.
“It’s an outrage,” said Manny Puello, whose 15-year-old son attends the exclusive Horace Mann School, which is just around the corner and charges nearly $40,000 a year for students in kindergarten through 12th grade.
…
In their corner are state Sen. Jeffrey Klein and Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz, who agree that the massage parlor, on Manhattan College Parkway near Manhattan College, is “the scene and source of prostitution” in the neighborhood.

Edgewater considers tighter prostitution law
BY SVETLANA SHKOLNIKOVA
Edgewater — The borough council took a tougher stand against prostitution on April 16 by introducing an ordinance holding massage parlor owners responsible for the activities taking place in their establishments.
If adopted, the ordinance would become the strictest allowed under the law.
Officials drafted the ordinance immediately after the latest string of prostitution arrests at the end of March, where seven individuals were charged with engaging in or facilitating prostitution at five massage parlors in Edgewater.
Two of the parlors busted in the March sting were involved in a similar operation the year before.
“We need to stop this problem before it occurs,” said Philip Boggia, the borough’s attorney. “This [ordinance] gives police the controls they need to regulate — to separate the legitimate establishments from the less-than-legitimate establishments.”

The council also introduced a revision to the local ordinance that governs spas, day spas and massage parlors.
Last year a planning board application for a spa/massage parlor was denied following numerous hearings. The planning board raised concerns about the operation of such businesses.
The changes offer  new definitions of such establishments, rules of operations and requirements for  the professionals who provide services .
A spa/day spa would be defined  as a business that offers “a combination of non-medical personal services that may include hair, nail, and skin treatments and other services typically  found in a beauty shop.”
…
Councilman Robert Robinson said that news reports from Bergen County showed that massage parlors had been implicated in prostitution activities, and felt it was proper for the New Providence board to be “proactive” on this matter.
