Body
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
No fiscal implications associated with the recommended action.
DISCUSSION:
Ordinance No. 16-0015 is returning to the City Council for second reading and adoption.
After reviewing the draft ordinance at the August 2, 2016 City Council meeting, the City Council introduced Ordinance No. 16-0015 to amend the Municipal Code to change the minimum smoking age to 21 to be consistent with State Law. The attached Legislative Digest includes all of the proposed revisions to the Municipal Code.
PUBLIC OUTREACH/INTEREST:
Public outreach was not required for this amendment because the City is merely amending its Code to be consistent with state law.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The amendment to the City’s existing regulations concerning smoking is not a "Project" within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act because the amendment has no potential for resulting in a physical change in the environment, directly or indirectly.
LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney has approved as to form the draft ordinance.
