Council adopted Ordinance 4064 to broaden prohibitions against tobacco, nicotine and vapor products on municipal property, aligning local code with state law and enabling eligibility for Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust (TSET) grant funding.

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.
