IN RE: FINDINGS OF FACT
AND DECISION
Appeal by Tierra Kirstin Jackson-Campbell
of Denial of Massage Therapist Certificate
______________________________________________________________________________
On April 12 and April 26, 2016, the Plymouth City Council met at its regularly scheduled
meetings to consider Tierra Kirstin Jackson-Campbell’s appeal of the denial of her massage
therapist certificate. Tierra Kirstin Jackson-Campbell was present and the City Council heard
testimony from all interested persons wishing to speak.
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. On February 8, 2016, Tierra Kirstin Jackson-Campbell submitted an application
for a Massage Therapist Certificate to the City.
2. The application was referred to the Plymouth Police Department for the
Department’s review and recommendation. The Police Department was unable to complete the
background investigation due to inaccuracy with her Minnesota identification card as the middle
name on the card was spelled “Kristin.” The address on the Minnesota identification card also
did not match the address provided on her application. Therefore, she was requested to update
her Minnesota identification card and resubmit the application. On February 18, 2016, she
resubmitted her application and attached a copy of the Minnesota identification card application
that corrected the spelling of her middle name (Kristin) and the address so it matched the address
given on the massage therapy application. The Police Department conducted a background
investigation and recommended that the Certificate be denied.
3. On March 1, 2016, the City Manager denied Tierra Kirstin Jackson-Campbell’s
application for a Massage Therapist Certificate because she did not disclose her addresses for the
past five years and because she falsified her application by not disclosing information regarding
her criminal convictions:
1
Disorderly conduct charge on March 18, 2012 in Kansas. Pled guilty on
March 20, 2012.
Two counts of burglary (entered dwellings to commit felony, theft, or sexual
battery) for incident on July 13, 2012 in Kansas. Sentenced on November 5, 2012.
She received probation and violated terms of probation. Warrant issued – only
applies to surrounding states.
Providing false name for incident on September 27, 2013 in Minnesota. Pled
guilty on May 21, 2014.
4. Tierra Kirstin Jackson-Campbell appealed the City Manager’s denial of her
application for a Massage Therapist Certificate to the City Council.
5. Plymouth City Code § 1135.13 provides: Conditions Governing Issuance.
A Certificates may be issued only to persons of good repute.
B. Certificates may be issued only to persons who have answered fully all of the
information requested in the application.
6. Tierra Kirstin Jackson-Campbell did not answer fully the information requested in
the application. She did not provide the addresses of her residences within the past five years
and she did not disclose her prior criminal convictions.
7. Tierra Kirstin Jackson-Campbell is not a person of good repute. She falsified her
application for a Massage Therapist Certificate and has three criminal convictions.
DECISION
The City Manager’s decision denying a 2016 Massage Therapist Certificate to Tierra
Kirstin Jackson-Campbell is affirmed.
Approved by the City Council this 26th day of April, 2016.
