HE HAS BEEN READY TO GO FROM THE BEGINNING OF COMING IN FOR OUR PIZZA DINNER. ALWAYS ENJOY THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO OUR MAYOR FOR THE DAY. I ACTUALLY GOT TO COME AND VISIT HIM AT SCHOOL BEFORE THE YEAR ENDED UP, AND GOT THAT OPPORTUNITY TO COME TO HIS CLASS. IT'S ALWAYS AMAZING. SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THAT I GET ASKED, EVERYONE WOULD THINK IT'S SIMPLE QUESTIONS OF WHAT COLOR DO YOU LIKE? OR WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE FOOD? AND WHILE THERE'S ALWAYS SOME OF THAT, I CAN TELL YOU THAT I OFTEN GET QUESTIONS THAT WOULD SURPRISE SOME OF YOU HERE. YEP, INCLUDING THINGS ABOUT INFLATION. JOBS, ROADS. I HAVE A FEELING SOME OF THESE MIGHT COME FROM THEIR PARENTS AT HOME.
HAVING THEM GIVE QUESTIONS. BUT WE ALWAYS ENJOY IT. AND IT'S ALSO A GOOD LESSON FOR EVERYONE IN THE FACT THAT YOU'RE NEVER QUITE AWARE OF HOW MUCH YOUR CHILDREN, OR THOSE WHO MAY BE AROUND YOU, ARE ACTUALLY LISTENING TO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. SO I REMIND PEOPLE TO ALWAYS REMEMBER TO BE COGNIZANT OF WHAT YOU SAY IN FRONT OF LITTLE ONES, BECAUSE THEY ARE IMPRESSIONABLE AND THEY ARE LISTENING.

HOW ARE YOU DOING? WELL. SO WYLIE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT TOUCHES A HUGE NUMBER OF CITIZENS THROUGH THE PROGRAMING THAT THEY OFFER AND THE SPACES THAT THEY MAINTAIN, THEY DO AN AMAZING JOB OF SERVING OUR COMMUNITY. IF YOU ENJOY THE REC CENTER, THAT'S OUR PARKS AND RECREATION STAFF. IF YOU ENJOY OUR BIKE AND HIKING AND WALKING TRAILS THROUGHOUT THE CITY, THAT'S OUR PARKS AND RECREATION STAFF. IF YOU ENJOY HAVING YOUR KIDS GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN TEAM SPORTS IN WYLIE, THOSE FIELDS ARE MAINTAINED THROUGH OUR PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT. AND THAT'S NOT ALL. WE HAVE SEVERAL NEW OFFERINGS WITHIN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, INCLUDING THE DOG PARK HERE AT CITY HALL, AND TWO SPLASH PADS THAT HAVE OPENED JUST RECENTLY AND ARE PROVIDING AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THOSE WHO WISH TO RUN AROUND IN A LITTLE BIT OF WATER AND GET OUTSIDE DURING OUR VERY WARM TEXAS SUMMERS BECAUSE IT'S SUMMER NOW AND STILL BE ABLE TO GET OUT AND ENJOY. SO I'VE SEEN A LOT OF KIDS THERE. OUR DOG PARK HAS BEEN HIGHLY UTILIZED, BUT OUR PARKS TEAM, I'M SURE YOU CAN PROBABLY TELL US THE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS THAT YOU ENCOUNTER. I KNOW IT WAS IN THE PRESENTATION RECENTLY THAT YOU[00:10:02]
GAVE TO COUNCIL, BUT IT'S JUST AMAZING. AND IT IS TYPICALLY TWO AND THREE TIMES THE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE INTERACTING WITH OUR PARKS AS THE TYPICAL CITY. AND THAT IS AN AMAZING THING TO SEE. AND IT'S JUST A TESTAMENT TO THE WORK THAT THEY DO. SO I WANT TO GIVE THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK AS WELL. HI, I'M CARMEN PALIN, I'M THE DIRECTOR FOR PARKS AND RECREATION. AS THE MAYOR MENTIONED, WE DO HAVE A VERY LARGE REACH WITH OUR DEPARTMENT.MORE THAN 2.5 MILLION VISITORS VISIT A PARKS AND RECREATION FACILITY HERE IN WYLIE. EVERY YEAR. YOU ARE WITHIN HALF A MILE OF A PARKS AND RECREATION AMENITY AT ALL TIMES. WHEN YOU ARE IN THE CITY OF WYLIE. AND LAST YEAR, DURING PARKS AND RECREATION MONTH, WE HAD ABOUT 40,000 PARTICIPANTS IN OUR ACTIVITIES. JUST FOR THOSE JULY ONLY ACTIVITIES, WHICH WAS A 33% INCREASE OVER THE PREVIOUS YEAR. SO THERE IS A GREAT NEED HERE IN WYLIE, AND WE DO HAVE A LOT OF SUPPORT AND PARTICIPATION IN PARKS AND RECREATION. I'M GOING TO HAND IT OFF TO SOME OF MY COLLEAGUES. LET THEM INTRODUCE THEMSELVES. MY NAME IS BRANT STOWERS. I'M THE ASSISTANT PARKS AND RECREATION DIRECTOR. HI. JULIE PINNELL, PARKS AND RECREATION SUPERVISOR. CLAUDIA SUAREZ, OUTGOING PARKS AND REC BOARD. HI, EVERYONE.

I'M SUPERVISOR OVER COMMUNITY PARKS CENTER AND THE WELCOME CENTER AT BROWN HOUSE. AND I'VE BEEN HERE FOR 14 YEARS. HI, I'M ANGELA DANIEL. I'M AT COMMUNITY PARKS CENTER, AND I'VE WORKED FOR THE CITY FOR 14 YEARS. HI. I'M I'M ERIN CLAMPETT. I WORK IN THE PARKS DEPARTMENT, IN THE ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT, AND I'VE BEEN HERE 19 YEARS. AND I WOULD BE REMISS IF I DIDN'T MENTION AS WELL WHAT THEY DID. AND THAT IS, IF YOU LOVE SEEING THE BROWN HOUSE DOWNTOWN, THEY TAKE CARE OF THAT FOR US. AND WHILE IT'S NOW CALLED COMMUNITY PARK CENTER, IT WAS FORMERLY KNOWN AS OUR SENIOR CENTER AND IS STILL HOME TO OUR SENIOR PROGRAMING, WHICH IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR THOSE WHO HAVE REACHED THAT POINT IN LIFE WHERE THEY'RE LOOKING FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO GATHER. NOT ONLY DO THEY HAVE WORKOUT SPACE OVER THERE NOW THROUGH THE NEW RENOVATIONS, THEY DO A LOT OF ACTIVITIES. THEN THEY EVEN TAKE SOME TRIPS THAT MAKE ME WISH I QUALIFIED TO BE A SENIOR. WHEN THEY'RE THEY TAKE SOME NICE FOOD, FOOD TRIPS, SOME VACATION SCHEDULES, DIFFERENT THINGS THAT THEY PUT TOGETHER SO THAT THOSE INDIVIDUALS IN OUR COMMUNITY STILL HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY TO FEEL LIKE THEY ARE PART OF A COMMUNITY AND TO INTERACT WITH OTHERS. AND SO THEY REALLY DO TOUCH EVERYONE, FROM THE YOUNGEST AMONG US WHO GET OUTSIDE TO THE OLDEST. AND SO AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU ALL DO WITH THAT, I DO HAVE A PROCLAMATION. WHEREAS PARKS AND RECREATION PROMOTES HEALTH AND WELLNESS, IMPROVING THE PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH OF PEOPLE WHO LIVE NEAR PARKS BY PROVIDING SPACE FOR SPORTS, HIKING TRAILS, DOG WALKING AND MANY OTHER ACTIVITIES. AND WHEREAS, PARKS AND RECREATION PROGRAMING AND EDUCATION ACTIVITIES SUCH AS CAMPS, YOUTH SPORTS, THE ARTS AND ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION ARE CRITICAL TO CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT. AND WHEREAS PARKS AND RECREATION INCREASES THE COMMUNITY'S ECONOMIC PROSPERITY THROUGH INCREASED PROPERTY VALUES, EXPANSION OF THE LOCAL TAX BASE, INCREASED TOURISM, AND THE ATTRACTION AND RETENTION OF BUSINESSES WHILE REDUCING CRIME. WHEREAS THE PARKS, WILEY PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING THE CITIZENS OF WILEY AND OUR NEIGHBORS BEAUTY WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY AND A PLACE FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS TO CONNECT WITH NATURE AND RECREATE OUTDOORS.

[COMMENTS ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS]
[00:25:32]
OKAY, SO WITH THAT, WE WILL MOVE TO OUR NEXT ITEMS ON THE AGENDA THIS EVENING. WE DO COME TO OUR COMMENTS ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS. IF ANY MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC IS PRESENT, WISHES TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL ON ITEM NOT LISTED ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA, WE DO ASK THAT YOU COMPLETE A FORM PRIOR TO THE MEETING IN ORDER TO SPEAK. COUNCIL REQUESTS COMMENTS BE LIMITED TO THREE MINUTES FOR AN INDIVIDUAL OR SIX FOR A GROUP. WE DO REMIND EVERYONE THAT COUNCIL IS NOT ALLOWED TO CONVERSE, DELIBERATE OR TAKE ACTION ON ANY MATTER PRESENTED DURING CITIZEN PARTICIPATION.MISS STORM, DO WE HAVE ANY FORMS TURNED IN? NO, MAYOR. OKAY, I DID HAVE SOMEONE THAT INDICATED.
I APOLOGIZE. I CAN'T HEAR YOU, SIR. THAT'S CORRECT. OKAY, SO YOU WERE LOOKING TO COMMENT ON A NON AGENDA ITEM, CORRECT? OKAY, I WILL WE CAN DO THAT IF YOU WOULD. IF YOU WILL STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD WHEN YOU COME UP AGAIN, WE CAN'T CONVERSE ABOUT THE TOPIC SINCE IT'S NOT ON THE AGENDA. BUT BEFORE YOU LEAVE, IF YOU WILL COMPLETE A FORM, MISS STORM HAS IT. YOU CAN GET IT AFTER YOU SPEAK AND HAND IT BACK TO HER WHEN YOU'RE DONE FILLING IT OUT JUST THAT WAY. WE HAVE THAT ON THE RECORD. OKAY? SO IF YOU'LL COME FORWARD AT THIS TIME.
YES. SO IF YOU WILL HIT, THERE'S A LITTLE SPEAKING VOICE BUTTON THERE. SO THERE WE GO. SO IF YOU'LL STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. AND THEN YOU CAN ADDRESS THE COUNCIL FOR UP TO THREE MINUTES. OKAY. MY NAME IS CHRISTOPHER SMITH I LIVE AT 1926 THREE FOUNTAINS ROAD, WYLIE. OF COURSE. I'M HERE TONIGHT REPRESENTING THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR THE WYLIE FOOTBALL LEAGUE. AND MY CONCERN, IRONICALLY, THE PARKS AND REC PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY LEFT IS THE CONDITION OF FOUNDERS PARK AND THE FOUR PRACTICE FIELDS THAT WE ROUTINELY PRACTICE ON. IT IS IN A VERY POOR STATE OF DISREPAIR, ALTHOUGH THEY ARE WORKING ON REBUILDING OF THE FIELDS AND RESURFACING. WE START PRACTICING TWO WEEKS AND THERE IS NO WAY THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO PRACTICE ON THESE FIELDS. SO I KNOW THAT WE CAN'T DISCUSS OR DELIBERATE THAT TONIGHT, BUT IF WE COULD POTENTIALLY HAVE IT ON THE AGENDA AND POTENTIALLY A REPORT FROM WYLIE NER FOR THE NEXT MEETING SO WE CAN HAVE AN UPDATE ON WHERE WE ARE GOING TO PRACTICE AT. IF NOT, WE HAVE TO SHARE THE SOCCER FIELDS AND SOCCER SEASON STARTS VERY SOON AS WELL. CURRENTLY, WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PRACTICE ON WYLIE ISD FIELDS OR SCHAEFER STADIUM WITHOUT HAVING TO PAY AND RENT A POLICE OFFICER AND PAY FOR THE LIGHTS. SO WE'RE A BIT OF A QUANDARY BECAUSE WE HAVE SECOND THROUGH SIXTH GRADE FOOTBALL THAT AGAIN STARTS IN TWO WEEKS AND NOWHERE TO PRACTICE. THAT'S PRETTY MUCH ALL I HAVE. OKAY, SO IF YOU'LL BRANT STOWERS IS RIGHT BACK THERE. IF YOU'LL MEET WITH HIM, HE'LL BE ABLE TO GET YOU LINED OUT. OKAY. GREAT. THANK YOU. WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO FILL OUT THE FORM? YES. IF YOU WOULD STILL DO THAT. AND THEN MR. STOWERS WILL WAIT. YES. PERFECT.
SORRY. OKAY. AND SINCE THERE WERE NO OTHER FORMS THAT HAVE BEEN COMPLETED THAT WILL COMPLETE OUR CITIZEN COMMENTS ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS. SO FROM THERE, WE'LL MOVE FORWARD TO OUR
[CONSENT AGENDA]
CONSENT AGENDA. COUNCIL AND STAFF, ARE THERE ANY ITEMS ON THE CONSENT AGENDA THAT NEED TO BE PULLED FOR INDIVIDUAL DISCUSSION OR CONSIDERATION? IF NONE, I WOULD BE OPEN TO A MOTION ON THE CONSENT AGENDA. COUNCILMAN DUKE. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. I MOTION TO APPROVE ALL THE ITEMS ON THE CONSENT. WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ITEMS ON THE CONSENT AGENDA. DO WE HAVE A SECOND COUNCILMAN HOOVER? SO WE HAVE A MOTION WITH A SECOND TO APPROVE THE ITEMS AS PRESENTED. COUNCIL, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. THE MOTION CARRIES FIVE ZERO. WITH THAT, WE WILL[1. Consider, and act upon, Ordinance No. 2025-26 releasing a portion of the City of Wylie’s Extraterritorial Jurisdiction, consisting of four tracts of land totaling 56.5 acres generally located on the east side of FM 544 at Alanis Drive.]
MOVE TO OUR REGULAR AGENDA FOR THE EVENING. ITEM NUMBER ONE IS TO CONSIDER AND ACT UPON ORDINANCE NUMBER 20 2526, RELEASING A PORTION OF THE CITY OF WILEY'S EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION CONSISTING OF FOUR TRACTS OF LAND. I KNOW, IT SAYS, TOTALING 56.5 ACRES, GENERALLY[00:30:02]
LOCATED ON THE EAST SIDE OF FM 40. FM 544 AT ALLEN EAST DRIVE. MR. HASKINS, I BELIEVE THAT THAT WAS CORRECTED TO 48.5 ACRES. IS THAT CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT. OKAY. AND WITH THAT BEING STATED THAT I DID WANT TO ASK BEFORE YOU GET STARTED, THAT DOES NOT AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO ACCEPT THE PETITION, CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT. OKAY. JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THE PETITION WAS CORRECT. JUST THE STATEMENT. MY MATH WAS OFF BASED ON. YEAH. SO THE APPLICANT IS ASKING FOR 48.5 ACRES, HAS PETITIONED THE CITY TO RELEASE THIS PROPERTIES. THESE PROPERTIES FROM THE EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION OF THE CITY OF WYLIE. THE PROPERTY WILL STILL BE SERVICED BY FOR EMS AND FIRE THROUGH OUR CONTRACT WITH THE COUNTY, AND GENERAL POLICE SERVICES WOULD BE PROVIDED BY THE COLLIN COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE. OF COURSE, IF THERE'S AN EMERGENCY TYPE SITUATION, WYLIE PD WILL ASSIST WITH THE RELEASE OF THIS PETITION. WE WOULD HAVE NO ZONING OR PLANNING AUTHORITY. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT OBVIOUSLY WILL WORK WITH THE COUNTY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE TO ENSURE THAT, YOU KNOW, WITHIN THE LIMITS THAT WE'RE ALLOWED TO THAT FIRE SAFETY IS MAXIMIZED TO ITS FULLEST POTENTIAL. AND WITH CHAPTER AS STATED IN THE REPORT, CHAPTER 42, SUBCHAPTER D BASICALLY SAYS THAT IF THE APPLICANT HAS PROVIDED ALL THE INFORMATION IN A CORRECT FORMAT TO THE CITY SECRETARY'S OFFICE, THAT THE COUNCIL HAS TWO CHOICES THAT CAN EITHER APPROVE THE ORDINANCE OR YOU COULD TAKE NO ACTION. AND THEN THE APPLICATION WOULD STILL BE APPROVED BY WHAT'S CALLED OPERATION OF LAW. AND THAT WOULD TAKE PLACE AT THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING ON SEVEN EIGHT, WITHOUT ANY COUNCIL ACTION. AND WITH THAT, I'M MORE THAN HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU, MR. HASKINS. SO I KNOW WE HAVE SOME NEWER FACES IN THE AUDIENCE AS WELL AS SOME NEWER MEMBERS OF COUNCIL. THIS FALLS DUE TO STATE LAW CHANGES. THIS FALLS UNDER WHAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED A PARLIAMENTARY ACTION, WHICH JUST MEANS WHILE IT COMES TO US, WE ARE REQUIRED TO APPROVE OR IT GETS APPROVED ON ITS OWN STANDING. THAT IS CORRECT SIR. UNLESS THERE IS SOMETHING TECHNICALLY WRONG, WHICH THERE IS NOT, THERE IS NOT. YES. OKAY. AND I'LL REMIND OUR PUBLIC AS WELL THAT WE ALSO DON'T CONTROL ZONING, EVEN IF THEY ARE IN THE ETJ AS THEY ARE AS OF THIS PARTICULAR MOMENT. YES, SIR. SO WITH THAT COUNCIL, DO WE HAVE ANY ANY QUESTIONS? AND IF NOT, NOT A PUBLIC HEARING OKAY. NO PUBLIC HEARING. SO COUNCIL I'D BE OPEN TO A MOTION. COUNCILMAN STRANG THANK YOU. MAYOR. I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ITEM AS PRESENTED. MOTION. WE DO HAVE, MISS STORM. SORRY ABOUT THAT, SIR. IF YOU COULD, IF YOU'RE OKAY WITH APPROVING IT, IF YOU COULD APPROVE IT WITH THE AMENDMENT, WITH THE NEW ACREAGE, WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO AMEND YOUR MOTION? MOTION TO THE TO INCLUDE THE CORRECT THE NEW ACREAGE THAT WAS PUT FORWARD, THE 48.5? REMIND ME WITH THE NEW ACRES, YOU CAN JUST STATE THAT YOU WOULD AGREE TO AMEND YOUR MOTION. AS SUCH, I AMEND MY MOTION TO INCLUDE THE UPDATED ACREAGE. OKAY. WITH THAT, DO WE HAVE A SECOND TO THAT MOTION? COUNCILMAN DUKE? THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. I SECOND. OKAY, WE HAVE A MOTION THAT WAS AMENDED AND SECONDED. COUNCIL, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. MOTION CARRIES 5 TO 0. WE'LL MOVE TO ITEM TWO.[2. Consider, and act upon, Ordinance No. 2025-27 of the City of Wylie, Texas, amending Wylie’s Code of Ordinances, Ordinance No. 2021-17, as amended, Chapter 74 (Offenses and Miscellaneous Provisions), Article I (In General), Section 74-3 (Smoking Prohibited In Certain Public Areas) and Section 74-8(b) (Violations and Penalties), and Article XI (Smoking Regulations); establishing new regulations governing the prohibition of smoking in certain areas; compliance; defining terms; providing a penalty clause, savings/repealing clause, severability clause and an effective date; and providing for the publication of the caption hereof.]
CONSIDER AND ACT UPON ORDINANCE NUMBER 2025. DASH 27 OF THE CITY OF WYLIE, TEXAS, AMENDING WILEY'S CODE OF ORDINANCES ORDINANCE NUMBER 2021, DASH 17, AS AMENDED. CHAPTER 74 OFFENSES AND MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. ARTICLE ONE. IN GENERAL, SECTION 70 4-3 SMOKING PROHIBITED IN CERTAIN PUBLIC AREAS AND SECTION 70 4-8B VIOLATIONS AND PENALTIES AND ARTICLE 11 SMOKING REGULATIONS ESTABLISHING NEW REGULATIONS GOVERNING THE PROHIBITION OF SMOKING IN CERTAIN AREAS. COMPLIANCE DEFINING TERMS. PROVIDING A PENALTY CLAUSE. SAVINGS.REPEALING CLAUSE, SEVERABILITY CLAUSE AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE, AND PROVIDING FOR THE PUBLICATION OF THE CAPTION HEREOF. MR. HASKINS, THANK YOU MAYOR. LATE LAST YEAR WE HAD A THE COUNCIL AND STAFF HAD A WORK SESSION IN WHICH WE TALKED ABOUT TWO THINGS. ONE OF THEM WAS THE SMOKING ORDINANCE OR THE SMOKE SHOPS AND SMOKING ESTABLISHMENTS WITHIN THE CITY OF WILEY, AND THAT'S WITHIN THE ZONING ORDINANCE. THAT ORDINANCE HAS ALREADY BEEN AMENDED AND APPROVED BY COUNCIL. THIS IS THE ACTUAL CITY ORDINANCE, WHICH BASICALLY ADDS THE PREVIOUS ORDINANCE, BASICALLY SAID YOU COULDN'T SMOKE INSIDE OF CITY FACILITIES AT CITY PARKS, THAT
[00:35:04]
SORT OF THING. IT WAS IT WAS COUNCIL'S DIRECTION AT THE TIME TO EXPAND THAT TO ALL ENCLOSED AREAS WITHIN THE CITY OF WILEY, WITH A FEW EXCEPTIONS. SO THAT'S WHAT STAFF HAS DONE. WE'VE PROVIDED AN ORDINANCE AMENDMENT FOR COUNCIL'S CONSIDERATION. WE DID A LOT OF REORGANIZATION FOR THE REGULATIONS, BASICALLY TO HELP WITH READABILITY, AND ADDED QUITE A BIT UPDATED THE SMOKING DEFINITIONS THAT WERE NEEDED BECAUSE THERE WAS A LOT OF EXTRA TERMS THAT WERE ADDED WITH THE ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE TO EXPAND THE NONSMOKING AREAS, AND UPDATED THE ORDINANCE TO ACCOUNT FOR THE AMENDMENTS THAT HAD TAKEN PLACE FOR THE ZONING ORDINANCE. WITH THAT, I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. OKAY, I'M LOOKING FOR IT HERE. YEAH. MAYOR, I THINK WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR IS ON PAGE. THE TOP OF PAGE EIGHT OF TEN. NUMBER EIGHT. OKAY, THAT IS AN SOMEWHAT OF A DUPLICATE OF SECTION THREE OR G3. AND THAT WOULD BE G EIGHT. IT'S SOMEWHAT THE SAME WORDING, BUT IT IS STAFF WOULD RECOMMEND THAT SECTION EIGHT JUST BE REMOVED. IF THIS ORDINANCE WAS APPROVED IT'S NOT REALLY NEEDED. OKAY. SO IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE THINKING OF I APOLOGIZE. SO THE TWO THINGS, THE TWO THINGS THAT I WAS LOOKING AT AND I CAN'T FIND IT HERE, AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S BECAUSE I WAS READING THE OLD ORDINANCE. THERE WAS A I THOUGHT THERE WAS A REFERENCE TO TRYING TO GET THROUGH TO THE RESTROOMS. OH, SURE. THAT WOULD BE SECTION G, THREE C, WHICH IS ON PAGE 7G3. PATRONS SHOULD NOT BE REQUIRED TO ENTER OR PASS THROUGH SMOKING ROOMS TO ACCESS REQUIRED PUBLIC SANITARY FACILITIES. RIGHT. AND MY QUESTION ABOUT THAT WAS I KNOW THIS FALLS UNDER. SO IS THAT JUST FOR NOW THAT INCLUDES SMOKING LOUNGES. SO MY QUESTION IS FOR SOMEWHERE SUCH AS. THE CIGAR LOUNGE THAT WAS APPROVED, WOULD THAT MEAN THAT ESSENTIALLY THEY WOULD HAVE TO BUILD A SEPARATE ROOM AND THERE'D HAVE TO BE A WAY TO GET FROM THE FRONT DOOR TO THE BATHROOMS, WHICH ARE TYPICALLY NOT GOING TO BE ANYWHERE NEAR THE FRONT. DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE A FRONT DOOR. IT CAN BE A BACK DOOR, ESPECIALLY ON, YOU KNOW, IF YOU MENTIONED, SAY, THE CIGAR LOUNGE DOWNTOWN, THERE IS A MAIN ENTRANCE ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE BUILDING ALSO. BUT YES, IN GENERAL, WHAT IT WOULD MEAN IS THAT YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO WALK A CUSTOMER OR A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC WOULDN'T HAVE TO WALK THROUGH THE SMOKING ROOM TO GET TO THE RESTROOM FACILITIES IF THEY OFFER PUBLIC RESTROOMS. AND NOW BY PUBLIC. AND AGAIN, THIS GETS INTO DEFINITIONS BECAUSE. YES, SIR. DOES THAT INCLUDE ANYONE WHO WALKS IN OR IS THAT A CUSTOMER? SO IF LET'S SAY I HAVE A SIGN OUT THAT SAYS NO PUBLIC BATHROOMS CUSTOMERS ONLY, DOES THAT FALL UNDER THIS OR WOULD IT NOT? IT WOULD JUST BE SOMEBODY WHO'S SO IT'S JUST SOMEONE THAT WALKS IN OFF THE STREET, AND THEY HAVE ADVERTISED THAT THEY ALLOW ANYONE TO USE THEIR BATHROOM. SURE. YES, SIR. OKAY. SO AS LONG AS THEY HAD SOMETHING THAT STATED THAT RESTROOMS ARE FOR CUSTOMERS ONLY. YES, SIR. THEY WOULD BE THEY WOULD BE STILL IN COMPLIANCE IF WE HAVE THIS IN PLACE. YES, SIR. OKAY. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY I KNOW THAT BUSINESS AND A COUPLE OTHERS AROUND TOWN, THAT COULD BE. NOT TO MENTION, I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT INTERACTS WITH FIRE CODE. I CAN SEE SOME OF OUR GENTLEMEN IN THE BACK. IF WE HAVE TO BUILD EXTRA WALLS IN BUILDINGS. I KNOW THEY'RE NOT FANS OF ANYTHING THAT INHIBITS THE ABILITY TO MOVE AROUND. YES, SIR. BUT IF THAT'S THE OPTION, AS LONG AS THEY'RE JUST NOT DECLARING THEM OPEN TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC, THEN. THEN I THINK THAT THAT'S REASONABLE.YES, SIR. YEAH. IF I CAN EXPAND ON JUST A TAD. SURE. YOU KNOW, PER COUNCIL'S DIRECTION, THE INTENT WAS THE GENERAL PUBLIC DOES NOT NEED TO BE NECESSARILY NECESSARILY, NECESSARILY NEEDLESSLY EXPOSED TO CIGARETTE, TOBACCO SMOKE, CIGARS, THAT SORT OF THING. AND SO THAT'S WHY THAT PARTICULAR PROVISION WAS IN THERE. BUT AS LONG AS IF SOMEBODY IS MAKING THAT DECISION AS A KNOWING ADULT TO GO IN THERE, THEY STILL THEY CAN STILL USE THE RESTROOM WITHOUT HAVING TO REMODEL THEIR. YES, SIR. OF COURSE. OKAY. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE BECAUSE PUBLIC CAN MEAN DIFFERENT THINGS. YES, SIR. I THINK THE ONLY OTHER QUESTION HAD TO DO, AND THIS MAY HAVE BEEN WHAT YOU WERE REFERRING TO, AND I'LL LET YOU KIND OF EXPLAIN IT ON PATIOS. OKAY. SO OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE MORE THAN ONE BUSINESS AROUND TOWN. SOME ARE RESTAURANTS ACTUALLY, AND SOME ARE. WE HAVE THE BREWERY DOWNTOWN AND OTHERS WHO HAVE DESIGNATED SMOKING AREAS THAT ARE GREATER THAN X AWAY FROM THEIR DOOR. YES, SIR. HOW DOES THAT IMPACT THOSE SITUATIONS? SO IF IT'S AN IF IT IS A BUSINESS SUCH AS THE CIGAR LOUNGE OR WHATEVER, THEY CAN HAVE A PATIO
[00:40:08]
BY THE DIRECTION OF THE ORDINANCE, A RESTAURANT, THEIR SMOKING SECTION WOULD HAVE THE PATIO WOULD HAVE TO BE ADJACENT TO THAT SMOKING SECTION, AND IT HAS TO BE TEN FEET AWAY FROM A PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY. OKAY. OKAY. WELL, I'VE ASKED SEVERAL QUESTIONS. I WANT TO OPEN IT UP TO MY FOUR COLLEAGUES IF THEY HAVE ANY AS WELL. COUNCILMAN PICKENS. SO THIS THIS ORDINANCE APPLIES TO SMOKING ESTABLISHMENTS. CORRECT. AND IT APPLIES TO ANY ENCLOSED PUBLICLY AVAILABLE FACILITY IN THE CITY. OKAY. AND WHAT I MEAN PUBLICLY, EVEN PRIVATE PROPERTY. BUT LIKE, SAY, YOU KNOW, A SUPERMARKET, RIGHT, WOULD STILL BE CONSIDERED AN ENCLOSED FACILITY AND SMOKING WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED IN THAT AREA. RECENTLY WE APPROVED ORDINANCES FOR THE HOOKAH LOUNGE. YES, SIR. AND I HAVEN'T BEEN IN THERE, BUT I HAVE SEEN DIAGRAMS OF THE BUILDING. THE RESTROOMS ARE IN THE BACK. I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY GET THROUGH TO THE FRONT, TO THE BACK, AND THERE'S NO BACK ENTRANCE TO THAT FACILITY. ARE THEY GRANDFATHERED IN? YES, SIR. OKAY. IF THEY DO ANY KIND OF MAJOR REMODELING, YOU KNOW, AND COME TO US FOR PERMITTING, WE WOULD HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT AT THAT TIME. BUT AS OF RIGHT NOW, WE'RE NOT GOING TO GO TO EXISTING PLACES AND TELL THEM, HEY, YOU'VE GOT TO REMODEL YOUR. THANK YOU. OKAY. AND SO WALK ME THROUGH WHAT HAPPENS IF WE HAVE. BECAUSE BECAUSE I WANT TO MAKE SURE TOO, THAT WE DON'T PUT OUR OFFICERS CODE ENFORCEMENT IN A IN A POSITION FOR EXCESSIVE CONFRONTATION. SO AM I CORRECT THAT ALL OTHER ESSENTIALLY OUTDOOR SPACE THAT ISN'T PRIVATE, THAT ISN'T YOUR OWN PRIVATE PROPERTY? THAT'S A BUSINESS? WOULD IT BE PROHIBITED THERE? NO, SIR. OKAY, SO IF I'M WALKING DOWN THE SIDEWALK AND SMOKING A CIGARETTE, IT'S PERFECTLY LEGAL. OKAY, SO. SO AS LONG AS IT'S A CERTAIN DISTANCE FROM THE BUILDING, NOT INSIDE THE BUILDING, AND NOT ON A PATIO THAT PEOPLE ARE EATING AS LONG AS YOU'RE TEN FEET AWAY FROM THE PROPERTY. YES, SIR. THE BUILDING. OKAY. THAT HELPS. YES, SIR. BECAUSE THERE'S A THERE'S A LOT OF LANGUAGE. AND HERE TOO, I, AS I, AS I TOLD THE CITY MANAGER, THERE'S A LOT OF THEREFORE AND HITHERTO TYPE STATEMENTS WHICH I KNOW WE NEED. BUT YES, SIR, I WANT TO MAKE SURE TOO, THAT FOR ANYONE LISTENING THAT MAY BE FOR OR AGAINST, THAT THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED AS WELL, BECAUSE YOU'LL HAVE SOME PEOPLE WHO ARE TRYING TO ENFORCE SOMETHING THAT IT DOESN'T SAY, OR SOME PEOPLE WHO ARE TRYING TO DO SOMETHING THAT IT SAYS YOU CAN'T. SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I GUESS IT'S LAID OUT AS PLAINLY AS POSSIBLE. YES, SIR. OKAY. COUNCIL, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS IN ADDITION TO THOSE? SO DIDN'T HAVE ANY FORMS TURNED IN TO SPEAK? MR. CORRECT. OKAY.JUST MAKING SURE. WELL, WITH THAT, IF THERE ARE NO OTHER QUESTIONS, I'D BE OPEN TO A MOTION ON THE ITEM, MR. MAYOR. OH, HOLD ON, I WOULD GO BACK. THIS IS, YOU KNOW, MY MISTAKE. I WOULD ASK THAT IF COUNCIL'S WISHES TO APPROVE THIS ORDINANCE, THAT YOU STATE THE ORDINANCE IN SUCH A WAY THAT WE STRIKE G SECTION G EIGHT STRIKING G EIGHT. YES, SIR.
OKAY. YEAH. AND THAT WAS AN OVERSIGHT ON MY PART AND I APOLOGIZE. OKAY. YES, SIR. OKAY.
SO. YES, SIR. COUNCILMAN STRANG, YOU HAD A MOTION MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ITEM. STRIKING SECTION G EIGHT, OTHERWISE AS PRESENTED. OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION AS STATED. DO WE HAVE A SECOND COUNCILMAN DUKE? THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. I'LL SECOND. OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION. AS STATED WITH THE SECOND COUNCIL, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. MOTION CARRIES 5 TO 0 WITH THAT.
