requested to schedule a public hearing for the May meeting to consider the enclosed revisions to the Smoking Control Ordinance to assist in controlling

smoking in and around county buildings. More specifically, there

are continuing problems with mulch fires and smoke blowing into the brick courthouse and library as a result of smoking around the entrance areas. I

propose restricting smoking within 25 feet of the entrance of the two courthouses and the

library and moving the mailboxes out to the gazebo located near the parking lot and

designating the gazebo as a smoking area for both the library and the courthouses. Board members have been provided

state enabling legislation describing the

responsibility of building managers in keeping smoke from entering no-

smoking areas.

2. FY 12 Budget – Authorization to schedule a public hearing for the May 23rd Board meeting is requested.
