<br />7C <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />In addition to health issues, the PRCS Commission also discussed enforcement of the <br />ban. Like all park regulations, we expect this new ordinance wiil be enforced on a <br />complaint only basis. <br /> <br />Currently, Redwood City Municipal Code Section 25.2.02 (L) and California State Law <br />prohibit smoking within twenty feet (20') of main entrances, exits, and operable windows <br />of any park facility, restroom or within twenty-five feet (251) of a Playground, Tot Lot or <br />Recreational Areas. <br /> <br />The proposed ordinance would amend Section 25.2.02 (L) to completely prohibit <br />smoking within any City park and would require "No Smoking" signs to be posted in <br />every City park. The City is already beginning the process of replacing parks signs due <br />to other rule changes already approved by the City Council. <br /> <br />ALTERNATIVES <br />Decline the recommendation from the Parks, Recreation and Community Services <br />Commission. This would result in no changes to the wording of current park <br />ordinances. <br /> <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br /> <br />New park signs have to be ordered because of previous park rule changes approved by <br />Council. Therefore, there would be no additional cost associated with the approval of <br /> <br /> <br />afJIiLn's~com dation.
