MEMORANDUM DATE: October 6, 2006 TO: City Council Members FROM: Russell Weeks RE: Proposed Ordinance: Prohibiting Smoking Tobacco Products in City Parks, Recreational Areas, Cemeteries and Near Mass Gatherings CC: Cindy Gust-Jenson,Rocky Fluhart, Sam Guevara, Ed Rutan, Chris Burbank, Gary Mumford, Boyd Ferguson,Abbie Vianes This memorandum addresses items pertaining to a proposed ordinance that would prohibit smoking tobacco products in city parks,public squares, Library Square,recreational areas, cemeteries and near mass gatherings. The City Council is scheduled to hear a briefing on the proposed ordinance Tuesday at the work session portion of the meeting. The Council then would consider whether to schedule the ordinance for formal action. Options • Adopt the proposed ordinance. • Do not adopt the proposed ordinance. • Amend the proposed ordinance. POTENTIAL MOTIONS City Council staff will prepare motions if the proposed ordinance is scheduled for formal action. KEY POINTS • The proposed ordinance would prohibit smoking tobacco in all "city-owned parks,public squares, Library Square,ball diamonds,pocket parks, soccer fields,and other recreation areas, city-owned cemeteries, linear parks, and trails,but not designated smoking areas." It also would prohibit smoking tobacco products within 50 feet of all mass gatherings— defined as an "outdoor assembly of 500 or more people that reasonably can be expected to continue for two or more hours." • Salt Lake City has 72 public parks and recreation areas, one public cemetery, and two areas designated as"public squares, malls and pleasure grounds"where the ordinance would apply.' • The proposed ordinance would create a separate chapter in the City Code to prohibit smoking tobacco in City-owned outdoor facilities. The penalty for violating the proposed 1 ordinance would be an infraction punishable by a fine"not to exceed ... $299."The fine would be the same as the penalty for all other violations of park and playground rules include drinking alcoholic beverages, injuring animals and destroying public property. • The proposed ordinance may be viewed as a step in concert with a Salt Lake Valley Board of Health resolution adopted February 3, 2006 in which the Board found it "prudent, reasonable and necessary"to urge municipal legislative bodies in Salt Lake County to adopt an ordinance that would "protect the public health and welfare by prohibiting smoking in public parks, gathering places,recreational areas, and plazas."' • Salt Lake City has amended rules and regulations for public parks several times to proscribe activities and conduct that may have been allowed previously. • Police Chief Chris Burbank said that the Police Depai tment probably would not add personnel to enforce the ordinance if it is adopted,but officers would enforce the ordinance if violations occurred. • The proposed ordinance exempts Native Americans using a"traditional pipe" as part of a native tribal religious ceremony and people"smoking or using smoking materials to exercise protected First Amendment activity, such as smoking or use of materials for bona fide religious purposes." Issues/Questions for Consideration • Is it in the public interest to prohibit smoking tobacco in Salt Lake City public parks? • Should sidewalks on the perimeters of parks and other public facilities be included in the proposed prohibition? Discussion/Background The Administration transmittal includes the executive summary of a report of the United States Surgeon General titled The Health Consequences of Involuntary Exposure to Tobacco Smoke. The summary contains a variety of conclusions starting on Page 9 and ending on Page 14 that City Council members may wish to review. However, the major conclusion cited by the Administration is found on Page 9 and says, "The scientific evidence indicates that there is no risk-free level of exposure to secondhand smoke." The report appears to focus mostly on the effects of secondhand smoke in homes and in workplaces. A document attached to his memorandum and titled Tobacco Prevention and Control in Utah provides the following statistics: • Although adult tobacco smoking in Utah since 1999 has declined at twice the rate of the rest of the United States, and tobacco smoking by youths has decreased significantly, more than 200,000 people in Utah continue to use tobacco.' • The figure translates into an overall rate of 11.2 percent of Utah's population. Broken down further the rate is 13.4 percent among men; 9.4 percent among women; 4.8 percent for people with college degrees; and 30.2 percent for people with less than a high-school education. The report also indicates that people "among some racial and ethnic communities" also have a higher rate of smoking tobacco than the overall percentage.4 2 • More than 1,100 adults in Utah die each year as a result of their own smoking, and an estimated 140 to 250 deaths among adults, children and babies are caused by secondhand smoke exposure.5 Given similar national and statewide figures, the Salt Lake Valley Board of Health on February 3, 2005 adopted a resolution in which the Board "hereby supports advocates and urges the various municipal legislative bodies in Salt Lake County to enact ordinances within their jurisdictions establishing all public parks, gathering places,recreational areas and plazas as smoke free."6 The Board of Health resolution cited a variety of findings about the effects of secondhand smoke, including the potential of children to model their behavior after adults. The resolution also noted that city councils in Clinton, Sandy and West Jordan had adopted ordinances restricting smoking tobacco in outdoor public places. It should be noted that at the February 3, 2005 meeting the Board adopted the resolution instead of an outright regulatory ban"at this time."According to minutes of the meeting: The staff's research has shown that although a number of communities have found it prudent for the health of their citizens to ban smoking in parks and on beaches, so far these communities have all done so by ordinances enacted by their municipal legislative bodies. Further,given the Board of Health's narrow authority specifically designated by the State Legislature to adopt measures that promote and protect public health,regulations the Board adopts must be supported by sound scientific evidence demonstrating a rational relationship between the regulated behavior and its threat to the public's health. Currently,staff believes that preliminary research is promising,but does not meet this standard.Therefore,until more conclusive scientific research can demonstrate a stronger relationship between outdoor tobacco smoke and negative health effects,they recommend that instead of adopting a regulation,the Board adopt a resolution encouraging the local legislative bodies of Salt Lake County to adopt"smoke-free venues"ordinances.' It should be noted that cities in the nation have adopted ordinances prohibiting smoking tobacco in public outdoor areas.The Administration transmittal indicates that communities in 28 of the 50 United States have ordinances/regulations or policies that prohibit smoking at parks, zoos, and youth sports, trails and beaches. City Council staff found one site on the Internet with a link to an article in the Chicago Tribune that estimated the number of cities nationwide that have restricted outdoor smoking at 400. Council staff could not find the article in the Chicago Tribune archives to determine the date of article. According to the California Clean Air Project, 57 cities in that state— including San Diego, Los Angeles, Sacramento, and San Francisco—restrict or prohibit tobacco smoking in at least some outdoor venues.' Here is a list of Utah cities that have restricted or prohibited smoking tobacco in public outdoor venues: • Clinton—adopted an ordinance in 2003 that restricted smoking in public parks. • Sandy—in 2004 restricted smoking in public parks and baseball fields. • West Jordan—adopted an ordinance in 2004 restricting smoking in public parks and the rodeo arena. 3 • Logan—adopted an ordinance in 2005 prohibiting smoking in public parks. • Hyde Park—adopted an ordinance in 2005 prohibiting smoking in public parks. • Midvale—adopted an ordinance in 2006 prohibiting smoking in parks and outdoor areas. • Riverton—adopted an ordinance in 2006 prohibiting smoking at playgrounds, and sports fields. • Spanish Fork—adopted an ordinance in 2006 prohibiting tobacco use in outdoor recreation facilities. • South Jordan—adopted an ordinance prohibiting tobacco use in parks, recreational areas and the city cemetery on September 5, 2006. In addition, the Utah State Fair has designated smoke free zones since 2004. Cache County prohibited smoking tobacco on the first night of its 2006 county fair. Summit County created smoke free areas at its fairgrounds in 2006, and Tooele County restricted smoking in county-owned places in 2006.9 As noted in the Key Points section, the proposed ordinance would prohibit smoking in about 75 public parks or areas and within 50 feet of an event that drew 500 or more people for two or more hours. Public squares such as Washington Square and the 500 West Park blocks would be included in that number because City Code 15.12.020 which establishes public squares says in part,restrictions relating to public parks and playgrounds under this code, as amended, shall be fully applicable to the public properties designated in section 15.12.030 of this chapter." Tobacco smoking still would be peiinitted on City streets, sidewalks and designated smoking areas. However, the smoking prohibition would include sidewalks within City parks, public squares, Library Square,recreational areas and cemeteries and extend to sidewalks around the perimeter of those facilities. It probably should be noted again that the penalty for violating the proposed ordinance is an infraction with a fine not to exceed$299,but police officers will have the discretion to issue a warning for a first offense if they deem it is in the best interest of the city. Clearly, Salt Lake City government has proscribed activity and conduct in public parks. A copy of City regulations from 1920 includes a prohibition of unleashed dogs and a requirement that dogs be on a six-foot leash. The prohibition was unaltered until fairly recently. It appears that the City prohibited the consumption and possession of alcoholic beverages in 1965, according to City records.

This report highlights the accomplishments of the Department's Tobacco Prevention and Control Program (TPCP) and its many partners in their effort to reduce tobacco use and save lives. Utah's comprehensive approach to preventing and controlling tobacco use is making an impact. Since 1999: ' , • Adult smoking declined at twice the rate of the rest of the United States. • Utah remains the only state with an adult smoking rate below 12%. 4 • Youth smoking decreased by 38%. Experimentation with smoking among high school students . - reached a historic low of 25%. .. , - • Smoking during pregnancy decreased by 23%. ;), e • The rate of children exposed to secondhand smoke in their homes decreased by more than 50%. ei,!; kY � fit. Despite great progress, much remains to be done. More than 200,000 Utahns continue to � rs,`� use tobacco. Smoking rates remain high among Utahns with low education and income levels and ` pile ��, among some racial and ethnic communities. Each year, more than 1,100 Utah adults die as a result � � r� of their own smoking, and an estimated 140 to 250 adults, children, and babies die due to `19-:ti'ls� ila : secondhand smoke exposure. The Utah economy loses a staggering $530 million annually to { i ;4 SI smoking-attributable medical and productivity costs. To entice people to use tobacco, major tobacco companies spend more than $60 million each year marketing tobacco products in Utah— ,?-"Ali:0415444V several times more than what Utah spends on anti-tobacco programming. The TPCP and its many partners, including local health departments, schools, and numerous -47 community-based organizations, reach tens of thousands of Utahns throught - school and communi � �: y gy based prevention programs, Quitting services, media messages, and policy development and 10,4 enforcement efforts. As long as tobacco costs our healthcare system millions of dollars and continues to cause preventable disease and death among our citizens, we must maintain our commitment to help smokers Quit and prevent children from starting to use tobacco. I thank the Utah State F - Legislature for its long-standing support for tobacco prevention and control. We look forward to 1 �'f 4 441,01 1making further strides in reducing the disease, disability, and death caused by tobacco use. ; ' ew,F Sincerely, David N.
