APRIL 19, 1989
RESOLUTION ADOPTED
REGARCING "NO SMOKING"
IN CARNEGIE FORUM
RES. NO. 89-45
The City Council was advised that the existinn City Council
Chambers have for several years been designated as a "No
CC -6
Smoking" area. In fact, cigarette smoking in City Hall is,
CC -14(a}
almost without exception, done orgy in the second floor
CC -28(b)
lobby area and a portion of the employee lounge in the
CC 300
basement. If the City Council is in agreement that this
rew facility (the Carnegie Forum) should be so designated,
staff would appreciate that decision now so that ample time
may be allotted to the ordering, delivery and pincement of
the appropriate signs. At this time, it is estimated the
building will be ready for occupancy in late June. VIS have
had requests from employees working in City Hall to
implement a policy which addresses smoking in the City Hall
building. At this time ve do not have a response to those
requests, but it is being discussed at the department head
level. ft will ultimately be bringing to the City Council
either a resolution cr an ordinance which will address the
issue of smoking in all City -owned facilities. I t is not
.
the intent to include park buildings and the public areas
at Hutchins Street Square since these facilities have been
designed and built primarily for public use. Rather, the
intent is to achieve a relatively smoke-free work place for
City employees and to not apply this policy to the public
at large except when they are in such work places.
Following discussion on motion of Mayor Pro Tempore
Hinchnian, Reid second, the City Council by the Following
vote adopted Resolution No. 89-45 entitled "A Resolution of
the Lodi City Council Declaring the Carnegie Forum Building
to be a Smoke-free Facility".
