Hello City Council Members,
Here is a request that I will make during the Community Comment section of the August 2, 2017
meeting. I am sending it to you today so that you might have a chance to consider it
beforehand. I have also included it as an attachment, if you can open it on your computers.
________________________________
Hello City Council Members,
My name is Louise Weaver and I live in Edina. First of all, thank you for the recent
action limiting the sale of tobacco products to adults. This is a very wise and welcome
step forward to protect our children. Now, I would like the City Council to consider my
request for designating secondhand smoke a health nuisance.
I live in a smoke-free apartment community, but some smokers continue to smoke in
their units when management is not onsite. (The secondhand smoke enters my unit at
all hours and is effecting my health.) Management is not able to do anything to stop this
when they cannot witness the behavior. I read in the book How to Be the Smartest
Renter on Your Block, written by our own HOME line - a tenants rights group, that
secondhand smoke is the same as a noise disturbance and as a last resort the police
can be called.
However, I checked this out with the Edina Police and was told that they would not
respond to this kind of call. I was referred to the City Health Department, who said this
would have to be researched and written into city code through a request by the City
Council.
I think this is very possible since secondhand smoke is already classified as a Class 1
carcinogen. The wording is already present in the city code with only specific language
for secondhand smoke yet to be included. If it is addressed the same as a noise
disturbance, then the police officers will be able to provide the kind of motivation that is
needed to stop smokers from being able to freely pollute the air in a community living
setting, and particularly in a smoke-free community. I hope you agree.
Sincerely,
Louise Weaver

From:Michele Debrey

Subject:Hi Jeff ~ request for Health Commission consideration
Date:Wednesday, August 16, 2017 12:01:02 AM
Hi Jeff,
I appreciate the time you took today to speak with me about an issue I am concerned
about. I called you in the 4 pm hour today to ask for guidance on how to ask the Edina
Community Health Commission to consider or evaluate the issue of second-hand smoke
on restaurant patios (outdoor seating).
I would therefore request that the issue (concern) of smoking in outdoor seating of Edina
restaurants be evaluated by the Edina Community Health Commission and a
recommendation made to the City Council about whether to implement an amendment to
city code prohibiting it.
I was recently in the patio seating of Tavern on France during happy hour and was really
shocked to be surrounded by smokers who basically didn’t stop smoking. None in the
party I was with are smokers and we all eventually were forced to leave because we had
been so exposed to second-hand smoke that we were all feeling a bit sick. I learned from
you that smoking is still legal at Edina restaurants within patio seating, but I do not think
this is in the best interest of Edinans or even the restaurants (including the restaurant
workers).
Please present this to the Commission on my behalf and request their consideration of this
problem.
Thank you very much,
Michele Debrey
Edina resident
