BACKGROUND
At the regular meeting of January 11, 1994, the City Council directed staff to conduct two public
meetings for purposes of obtaining additional public comment regarding a local tobacco control
ordinance. The January 17, 1994, Northridge earthquake derailed the originally intended schedule
for these meetings. Staff is pleased to outline the schedule for the community meetings.
The first meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, April 5, 1994, between 7:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. It will
be held in the Multi -Purpose Room of Leona Cox Elementary School, 18643 Oakmoor Street in
Canyon Country. The primary focus of this meeting will be to obtain public comment regarding
the work place smoking restrictions as proposed in Ordinance 93-20, as considered by the City
Council on January 11, 1994.
The second meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, April 6, 1994, between 7:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m.
It will be held in the Multi -Purpose Room of Saugus High School, 21900 Centurion Way, Saugus.
The primary focus of this meeting will be to obtain public comment regarding restaurant and bar
smoking restrictions and prohibition of vending machine tobacco sales in Santa Clarita.
The staff will also be conducting a survey of area restaurants and bars for purposes of obtaining
their viewpoints relative to smoking restriction options.
It is anticipated that staff will return to the City Council with a new ordinance based upon the
cumulative public comments at the regular City Council meeting of May 10, 1994.
