The Commission could assist schools in their initiatives.

E-Cigarettes – The City Council is requesting a policy recommendation which includes a revision of the Freedom to Breathe Act to include e-cigarettes. City Staff will do the actual writing of the Ordinance. Is there current zoning prohibiting smoking lounges? Staff Liaison Brown will check with Planning.

Edina Parks Ordinance does not allow smoking which will be amended to include e-cigarettes. The goal for the July meeting is to bring information so the proposal can be written. According to Member Stegner, some states and cities have raised the cigarette age to 21. He suggested this may something to think about long term. Members Connor and Bothun-Hurley will meet later this month on the proposal information.
