The Edmond City Council adopted Ordinance 4064 to amend Chapter 8.08 of the Edmond Municipal Code, expanding prohibitions on tobacco and vapor products on municipal property and revising code language to comply with state law.

Christy Batterson, director of housing and community resources, told the council the change will help the city qualify for Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust (TSET) grant funds and aligns with the city’s wellness-community policy. Batterson thanked staff and multiple departments, as well as outside partners, for work on the ordinance and said the revised language removes previous obstacles to applying for TSET grants.

Councilmembers voted to approve Ordinance 4064 5-0; no public comment was recorded on this item during the hearing.

Staff said the ordinance clarifies prohibitions for youth access to tobacco, nicotine and vapor products and extends the prohibition against use on all municipal property, both indoor and outdoor.
