M/S/C Reed and Prola. Ayes: 7; Noes: 0 C. An Ordinance Repealing Chapter 4-12 of the San Leandro Municipal Code, and Adopting a New Chapter 4-12 Prohibiting the Use of Tobacco Products in or Around Workplaces, Public Places, Recreational Areas and Facilities (strengthens the regulations regarding smoking in public places, places of employment, recreational area and athletic facilities in the City). Community Relations Representative Kathy Ornelas reported that the proposed ordinance would strengthen the local laws related to smoking and secondhand smoke. Most of the City's current smoking laws have not been revised since the 1980s. In preparing the draft ordinance, staff reviewed model ordinances, as well as regulations adopted in other cities. The ordinance would restrict smoking in all public places open to the general public, and would impose "reasonable distance" requirements and restrictions on places of employment. The draft ordinance was reviewed by the City Council Rules and Communications Committee, and there was interest by the Committee in adopting smoking regulations for residential units in multi-family housing complexes. Ms. Ornelas indicated that this item requires further community outreach and input, and would be brought back to the Council in 2010. Ms. Ornelas responded to questions from the Council.
