and spoke at the public forum. Two community members spoke against a Smoke Free Ordinance stating that the government should not determine whether or not smoking should be allowed in
their place of business. The other members of the community spoke in favor of a smoke free ordinance.
Council requested staff to bring forward examples of Smoke Free Ordinances for their review. Attached are lists of Ordinance Points for Consideration, and Ordinances from the City of
