CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION <br />Topic Report: Tobacco Free Parks <br />By: Leonard Linton, Civil Engineer <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Information on Tobacco-Free parks was forwarded to staff after several members of the <br />Council attended a seminar where there was a presentation on the subject. The <br />information was presented to the Park and Recreation Commission at their April meeting. <br />The Park and Recreation Commission approved a proposal and recommended forwarding <br />same to the City Council. <br /> <br />Observations: <br /> <br />Background information on the advantages of a tobacco free parks policy is attached. <br />The Tobacco-Free Youth recreation association will provide free signs to the city once a <br />policy is adopted. The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the attached Tobacco- <br />Free Parks Policy. The policy does not provide for police enforcement, an ordinance <br />would need to be adopted to allow for police enforcement. The ordinance is available <br />and can be brought forward to a regular City Council meeting if directed by the Council. <br /> <br />Action Statement: <br /> <br />Based upon Council discussion. <br /> <br />Reviewed By: <br /> <br />Civil Engineer <br />Director of Public Works <br />Assistant Director of Public Works <br />City Attorney <br /> <br />CCWS: 05/18/04 <br /> <br /> <br />
