The ownership wanted to ensure that both the brothel's personnel and clients were protected at all times and that the brothel achieved a reputation for honesty, integrity and having the best working ladies in the business. In addition, Rivenburgh reported, the goal was to provide a neat, clean, orderly and comfortable operating environment In computing, an operating environment is the environment in which users run programs, whether in a command line interface, such as in MS-DOS or the Unix shell, or in a graphical user interface, such as in the Macintosh operating system. where everyone could enjoy themselves. Strict guidelines were set up as to the conduct of the working ladies - with an emphasis on being respectful and courteous - as well as the clientele, including specific restrictions on drugs and alcohol for both personnel and clients, she said. Taking note that the current ownership is celebrating its 20th year in managing the brothel, Rivenburgh hastened to add: "I believe this award is a good indication that these goals have been achieved and that our brothel has reached that desired level of excellence."
