Further discussion of the city’s comprehensive smoking ban in public buildings, set to take effect May 2, is on the agenda for Monday’s Salina City Commission meeting.
Last week, opponents of the ban asked that commissioners repeal the clean indoor air ordinance. The ordinance was approved by the prior city commission on Jan. 12.
If the ordinance were repealed, proponents could submit a voter petition asking for a special election. The opponents of the ordinance say it would be less confusing if proponents were to ask for a special election, so that a “yes” vote would be a vote to put in place a smoking ban.
The meeting starts at 4 p.m. in Room 107 of the City-County Building. The clean indoor air ordinance is the last item on the commission’s agenda.
