8a. Smoking Regulations
A
B
Mr.
mayor,
thank
you.
As
you
know
this
evening,
there
are
four
ordinances
that
are
going
to
be
presented
and
three
of
those
will
be
handled
by
the
City
Attorney's
Office
I'll
be
presenting
the
first
ordinance
and
then
the
other
two
ordinances
went
on
a
tax
procedure
and
one
on
an
appeals
in
an
animal
case
will
be
presented
by
two
other
attorneys
who
are
donating
their
time
to
the
city
and
when
I
say
donating
their
time.
I
do
mean
free
of
charge.
Pro
bono
costing
us
nothing.
B
It
has
the
benefit
to
them
of
enhancing
their
work
experience
and
making
them
than
making
them
more
desirable
in
this
very
tight
market.
So
currently,
I
have
two
lawyers
working
with
me
that
I'd
like
to
introduce
to
you
and
I've,
asked
them
this
evening
to
each
present
and
ordinance
and
to
to
write
a
staff
report
that
was
included
in
your
agenda
packets
this
evening
as
part
of
their
professional
development.

them

donated
two
to
three
days
a
week
to
the
city
since
februari,
working
on
a
variety
of
projects,
and
so
I
would
like
to
express
to
both
of
them
prior
to
their
making
their
presentations.
The
appreciation
that
I
have
with
our
contribution
to
the
city
of
San
Bruno
so
with.
C
A
B
You,
mr.
mayor,
as
you
recall,
the
City
Council
gave
direction
to
staff
to
draft
an
ordinance
prohibiting
smoking
and
tobacco
retailers
shops
in
san
bruno,
and
this
was
following
a
report
during
which
the
City
Council
considered
the
proliferation
of
smokers
lounges
in
neighboring
communities.
As
previously
reported
to
you,
the
state
of
California
does
prohibit
smoking
in
enclosed
places
of
employment
pursuant
to
the
Labor
Code,
and
the
idea
behind
that
legislation
was
to
create
a
uniform
standard
across
the
state
to
reduce
exposure
to
employees
to
tobacco
smoke.
B
However,
there
are
a
number
of
exemptions
where
smoking
is
actually
allowed,
and
one
of
those
exemptions
is
for
tobacco
retailers
shops.
So,
under
the
state
law,
people
can
smoke
in
tobacco
shops
unless
the
city
prohibits
it,
and
that
is
a
it
is
allowed
in
tobacco.
Retailers
shops
where
the
primary
purpose
of
that
shop
is
to
sell
tobacco
and
tobacco
related
products.
Now
the
proposed
ordinance
pursuant
to
your
direction,
prohibits
smoking
in
tobacco
retailers
shops
in
San,
Bruno
I
would
amend
the
definition
that
are
provided
in
the
ordinance
slightly
to
include
wholesale
shops
as
well.
B
So
would
ask
to
make
that
amendment
prior
to
the
introduction
of
the
now.
The
ordinance
is
written
broadly
so
that
there
is
no
smoking
in
any
shop
that
sells
tobacco
or
tobacco
related
products,
and
it's
written
this
way
to
assure
maximum
coverage.
So
the
results
of
San
Bruno
would
be
that
for
any
shop
of
any
kind
that
sells
tobacco.
There
is
no
smoking
and
therefore
no
smokers
lounges
that
would
be
allowed.
B
Contrary
to
what
this,
the
staff
report
says,
other
products
could
be
sold
in
those
tobacco
retail
shops.
If
you
adopt
this
ordinance,
so
the
result
is
that
you
would
have
a
tobacco
shop
that
could
sell
other
products,
but
no
smoking
would
be
allowed,
and
the
reason
for
that
is
that
the
state
exemption
that
allows
smoking
and
tobacco
shops
really
only
applies
to
and
is
relevant
to
where
smoking
is
permitted
and
therefore
the
primary
purpose
of
that
shop
has
to
be.
You
know,
selling
tobacco
products.
