CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES AUGUST 17, 2009 Page 4 Item 8 Ordinance Licensing and Regulating Tobacco Related Devices Police Chief Vonhof and Sergeant Tim Knutson presented information regarding proposed changes to the tobacco licensing and sale ordinance. The proposed changes define "tobacco related devices" and would require establishments that sell tobacco related devices to maintain a log which would verify that customers who purchase smoking related devices meet the minimum 18 -year old age requirement. Smoking devices include, among other things, water pipes and rolling papers which are also used for smoking marijuana and for other illegal drugs. Devices become drug paraphernalia when they have been used for such purposes and contain traces of the illegal drugs. The log would not be required for customers who are of legal age who are purchasing pre packaged cigarettes and cigars. This ordinance change is being proposed due to concerns raised by citizens who believe such devices are detrimental to the community and may be sold to underage persons. Council is being asked to establish a 60 -day public comment period to provide an opportunity to inform the general public of these proposed changes, invite input and opinions, and determine if there is public support. Information will be presented to the public through the City's website, the Messages page and through the media. The Police Department will collect and compile the public comments. Council Member Bellows asked if there is any precedent for this type of an ordinance and stated that he feels it will only serve to drive the customers to purchase the devices in a different community. Chief Vonhof stated that he believes Lakeville is the first community to take this action. 09.57 Motion was made by Rieb, seconded by Miller, to call a 60 -day period of public input and comment concerning the proposed changes to the ordinance regulating the sale of tobacco related devices. Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes: Dahl, Rieb, Miller. Nay: Bellows Unfinished business None Announcements City Administrator City offices will be closed on Monday, September 7th in observance of the Labor Day holiday.
