<br />Rl: Each jurisdiction with an MUH smoking ordinance (Belmont, Brisbane, Burlingame, Daly City,
<br />Foster City, Redwood City, San Bruno, City of San Mateo, South San Francisco and the County of San
<br />Mateo for its unincorporated areas) should improve their educational outreach to residents regarding

<br />• Publishing summaries of residents' rights and obligations under their MUH smoking
<br />ordinances, including on their websites
<br />• Publishing information on how to report violations of MUH smoking ordinances, including
<br />on their websites
<br />• Informing residents that they can report violations of MUH smoking ordinances
<br />anonymously
<br />• Informing residents, including on their websites, that it is unlawful for any landlord or other
<br />person to take any retaliatory action against them for having reported a violation of an
<br />MUH smoking ordinance
<br />• Ensuring that information about reporting MUH smoking ordinance violations is just as
<br />readily accessible on their websites as information about other forms of nuisance
<br />• Ensuring that, upon typing the word "smoking," or the like in the search features of their
<br />websites, users are directed to all information about the jurisdiction's MUH smoking
<br />ordinance and related complaints process
<br />R2: The cities of Burlingame, Foster City, San Mateo, and South San Francisco should amend their
<br />MUH smoking ordinances, by no later than December 31, 2018, to prohibit retaliation against
<br />individuals who report violations of the MUH smoking ordinances.
<br />R3: The cities of Brisbane, Burlingame, Daly City, and the County of San Mateo for its

<br />Foster City, Redwood City, San Bruno, City of San Mateo, South San Francisco, and the County of
<br />San Mateo for its unincorporated areas) should, by June 30, 2019, evaluate ways to improve its
<br />collection and retrieval of complaints of MUH smoking violations so that:
<br />• Information regarding each complaint of an MUH smoking ordinance violation, and the
<br />response to it (complaints data) is recorded in a searchable electronic database
<br />• The jurisdiction can evaluate trends in the complaints data and the efficacy of the MUH
<br />smoking ordinance
<br />R5: Each jurisdiction with an MUH smoking ordinance should, by December 31, 2018, make their
<br />complaints data (with names of alleged violators deleted) available to the TPP and TEC on at least an
<br />annual basis.
