Proposed Smoking Ordinance for Kenai Not Introduced
By: Joe Nicks 3/5/2009
An ordinance that was being proposed by Kenai City Councilmember Hal Smalley to restrict smoking in public places and private businesses failed to receive enough support for introduction at Wednesday night's Kenai City Council Meeting. The council members agreed to send the issue back to the work session level to continue the discussion about adding more restrictions to smoking within Kenai. One council member, Rick Ross, opposed last night’s ordinance. He felt the existing ordinance on the books could be amended to satisfy those wanting to place tougher restrictions on smoking in public.
