A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA,
REVOKING BUSINESS LICENSE NO. 13-44677 FOR DESERT
MASSAGE FOR ILLICIT ACTIVITY ON THE PREMISES
WHEREAS, on October 10, 2013, the City Council of Palm Desert, California did hold
a hearing to consider the revocation of Business License No. 13-44677 for failure to comply with
the Palm Desert Municipal Code by operating in an illegal and disorderly manner by virtue of an
arrest for solicitation of prostitution on the premises on September 26, 2013; and
WHEREAS, at such hearing, upon hearing and considering all testimony, documentary
evidence, and argument, if any, the City Council did find the following facts and reasons to exist
to justify the revocation of the business license:
1. On September 26, 2013, Du Xia (Desert Massage Owner/Occupant) was arrested
on Desert Massage premises by a Riverside County Sherriff's Deputy for
solicitation for prostitution;
2. On September 27, 2013, Notice of Revocation of City Business License No. 13-
44677 was sent Du Xia at P.O. Box 2534, Palm Desert, California 92261, Return
Receipt Requested, and was posted on the premises.
3. The foregoing is grounds for revocation of a business license because solicitation
of prostitution is a threat to the health, safety and general welfare of the City, is
prohibited by California State law, and is not activity permitted by Business
License No. 13-44677.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Palm
Desert, California, as follows:
1. That the above recitations are true and correct and constitute the findings of the
City Council in this case.
2. That Business Permit 13-44677 is hereby revoked.
