Council to consider townwide nicotine policy banning smoking and vaping on town property
Summary
The Public Health Department offered to help craft a nicotine policy that would ban smoking and vaping on town-owned or operated facilities, including parks and cemeteries. Council scheduled further discussion for the May meeting.
Mayor Kristi Westwood told the council the Piute County Public Health Department offered assistance to draft a nicotine policy. According to the description provided at the meeting, the proposed policy would prohibit "smoking or vaping on any City-owned or operated facilities, including parks and cemeteries." The council agreed to continue discussion at the May meeting.
No formal motion to adopt the policy was made at the April 8 meeting; the Public Health Department’s involvement and the council’s decision to delay action to May were the immediate developments. Specific details of enforcement, signage, or exemptions were not recorded in the minutes and will need to be addressed as the draft is developed.
