Committee backs public hearing on vaping rule to ban e‑devices indoors

Jun 8, 2026

Committee supported setting a public hearing to amend the city's vaping ordinance to add electronic delivery devices and vaping to the indoor smoking ban, with violations cited as a class‑4 forfeiture and nonemergency police reporting for enforcement; formal action will be at the July 6 council meeting.

The full story

Administrator Windy (record references Administrator Rinne as the lead on the follow‑up) summarized follow‑up work on the city vaping ordinance and said the recommendation is to add a definition so electronic delivery devices and vaping are treated like smoking indoors. "This would then go into place, that the electronic delivery devices and vaping would not be allowed, similar to the smoking within structures," Administrator Windy said, and noted Attorney Bardoff drafted language and that the penalty would be cited as a class‑4 forfeiture.
