Item No. 17 <br />memorandum <br />TO: Mayor & City Council <br />FROM: John Godwin, City Manager <br />SUBJECT: SMOKING ORDINANCE REVISION <br />DATE: December 20, 2016 <br />BACKGROUND: In 2014 the city passed a new ordinance restricting smoking in many public <br />and work locations, especially restaurants. Since that time, we have issued a number of warnings <br />but no citations. Compliance has been almost all voluntary and quite good. No revisions have <br />been made to the ordinance to date. <br />STATUS OF ISSUE: Recently, we have evaluated the need to make some clarification to our <br />ordinance definition of an "enclosed space." The definition now requires a structure to have only <br />two walls to be considered enclosed, and we want to change that to three, exclusive of open roll - <br />up doors as are sometimes found in manufacturing workplaces. <br />BUDGET: NA. <br />RECOMMENDATION: Approve attached ordinance amendment. <br />
