It is unlawful for any business, employee or independent contractor, providing escort services contracted for or provided in Midvale, to fail to comply with the following requirements:

A. All businesses licensed to provide escort services pursuant to this chapter shall provide to each patron a written contract in receipt of consideration for services. The contract shall clearly state the type of services to be performed, the length of time such services shall be performed, the total amount such services shall cost the patron, and any special terms or conditions relating to the services to be performed. The contract need not include the name of the patron. The business operator shall keep and maintain a copy of each written contract entered into pursuant to this section for a period of not less than one year from the date of provision of services. The contracts shall be numbered and entered into a register listing the contract number, name, names of all employees involved in the contract and pecuniary compensation paid.

B. All escort services licensed pursuant to this chapter shall maintain an open office at which at least one responsible employee conducts the affairs of the business and acts as manager and licensee’s designated agent and may be personally contacted during all hours escorts are working. The address and phone number of the business premises shall appear and be included in all patron contracts and published advertisements.

C. Escort services shall not advertise in such a manner that would lead a reasonably prudent person to conclude that specified sexual activities would be performed by the escort. The business operator shall keep and maintain copies of all published advertisements for a period not less than one year from the date of publishing.

D. All employees or independent contractors, including drivers of vehicles of escort services who provide escort services with the city, shall be licensed in accordance with this chapter, regardless of the primary location of the business. No employee or independent contractor, including drivers of vehicles, may have a felony criminal record involving violence or of a sexual nature. (Ord. 10/6/2009O-18 § 2 (part))
