MOTION BY Luick SECONDED BY Mulvihill
RESOLUTION DEFERING ACTION ON THE ISSUE OF
SMOKING IN RESTAURANTS AND BARS UNTIL
STATEWIDE REGULATIONS ARE ADOPTED
WHEREAS, smoking ban ordinances have been proposed in various cities
throughout the State of Minnesota; and
WHEREAS, those cities that have considered a smoking ban ordinance have
spent considerable time and effort, at great expense, to study the issue and draft
ordinances dealing with smoking in restaurants and bars; and
WHEREAS, the debate regarding a local smoking ban ordinance has been very
divisive in some of the cities that have considered adopting such an ordinance; and
WHEREAS, the Lakeville City Council believes that the issue of smoking in
restaurants and bars within the State of Minnesota would best be handled by a State
Statute that would have uniform statewide application; and
WHEREAS, the Lakeville City Council believes that it is in the best interest of
the City of Lakeville that any action on a smoking ban ordinance be deferred until such
time that the State of Minnesota adopts uniform statewide regulations.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Lakeville that the City of Lakeville will defer any action on the issue of smoking in
restaurants and bars until such time statewide regulations are adopted.
ADOPTED by the Lakeville City Council this 20th day of May 2002.
