SUMMARY STATEMENT:
At the January 23, 2014, City Council meeting, the Council directed City staff to conduct a survey to help determine whether or not the McCall community would support a smoking ordinance
which would further restrict smoking in certain public areas, indoors and outdoors, beyond current State laws. The survey included the questions requested by the Council and an opportunity
to submit individual comments. The survey was available online from February 21 to March 21, 2014. Access to the survey was posted prominently on the City’s website, information on
taking the survey was printed in the Star News on February 27, 2014, and it was circulated to City employees and advisory committees via email. Hard copies of the survey were available
at City Hall and also by email during this time period. There were 350 survey respondents. The survey results and the press release are attached.
