MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Fletcher that <br />the Board grant a public hearing on a proposed <br />Clean Indoor Air Ordinance. <br />Commissioner Wodtke SECONDED THE MOTION for <br />purposes of discussion only. <br />Commissioner Wodtke pointed out that any ordinance <br />would be effective in the unincorporated area only. <br />The Attorney noted that the municipalities could decide <br />if they wanted to get involved in this regard. <br />Commissioner Wodtke added that if we do have a public <br />hearing, he would like to have it with the concurrence of <br />the municipalities and receive their input. <br />Commissioner Lyons commented that personally, he would <br />like to see restaurant owners set up non-smoking areas. He <br />stated he had some difficulty with an ordinance because if <br />it is passed, it should be passed with the idea that it will <br />require enforcement, and he did not think the County had the <br />time or the money to do so. Commissioner Lyons was not sure <br />it was the Board's place to enforce such an ordinance. <br />Commissioner Fletcher interjected that a public hearing <br />might enlighten a great many people, and he thought it would <br />be worthwhile. <br />Commissioner Bird suggested an alternative to the Board <br />which would be to go on record to encourage, Within the <br />County offices, to establish smoking and non-smoking areas, <br />rather than having an ordinance. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Bird,. SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Lyons, that the Board adopt an <br />Alternate Motion considering a resolution <br />endorsing the concept to adopt policies and set <br />aside special smoking areas in the County offices. <br />33 <br />BOOK` <br />� Prof <br />i <br />
