Acting County Attorney O'Brien quipped that "seldom does one have the opportunity <br />to abolish your own job."* <br />The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the motion <br />carried unanimously. <br />(CLERK'S NOTE: *For the record, Attorney O'Brien had previously announced <br />his retirement for March 31, 2000.) <br />13.A.1. CHAIRMAN ADAMS - DESIGNATING SMOKING AREA <br />The Board reviewed a Memorandum of February 9, 2000: <br />TO: Members of the Board <br />of County Commissioners <br />DATE: February 9, 2000 <br />SUB IECT: DESIGNATED SMOKING AREA <br />FROM: Fran B. Adams_ Y `y1 <br />Chairman <br />In 1993, the Board of County Commissioners prohibited smoking in the Administration Building and other <br />County Buildings. That has been a major improvement in the appearance and housekeeping problems in <br />the buildings. <br />However, we currently have created a new problem with the smoking employees congregating at the two <br />front entries for their smoking breaks. Now the public must run the smoke gauntlet to enter our building. <br />The solution is not to send those employees further away but to create an area for their use that is <br />accessible but out of the front entry. A double solution would be to provide a patio off the east side of the <br />cafe area with access through the cafe. Not only will the smokers be out of the way but the employees will <br />have an outside area to sit and eat lunch. <br />I would hereby request that staff come back with an estimate to provide the patio and access. <br />February 15, 2000 <br />74 <br />a • <br />
