CITY OF HUGO COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT Memorandum TO: Parks, Recreation and Open Space Commission FROM: Shayla Syverson, Parks Planner SUBJECT: Tobacco Use or Smoking Policy DATE: April 13, 2011 1. BACKGROUND: At the October 10, 2010 meeting, the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Commission discussed a draft of a Public Conduct in Parks Ordinance and heard a presentation from Brittany McFadden, Program Director for Tobacco Free Youth Recreation. A discussion on rules had been tabled at the September 8, 2010 meeting. Discussions on the Public Conduct in the Parks Ordinance had included several rules including tobacco use and smoking in the parks. At the October 10, 2010 meeting, the Parks Commission voted to recommend changes to the Public Conduct in Parks Ordinance. Also at the October 10, 2010 meeting, the Parks Commission asked for direction from the City Council on whether to ban tobacco use or smoking with a policy that includes the entire property of all parks in Hugo. After the item was tabled at the November 1, 2010 meeting, the City Council discussed the recommendation at their November 15, 2010 meeting. The City Council tabled their discussion to allow the Parks Commission to further consider the policy and provide a recommendation to the Council. At the January 12, 2011 meeting, the Parks Commission discussed the direction from the City Council and tabled the discussion to allow participation of additional Parks Commissioners in the discussion. At the February 9, 2011 meeting, the Parks Commission tabled the discussion. Prior to the meeting start, a resident inquired about the agenda item and expressed concern about the time of night it would be discussed. After the meeting of February 9, 2011 was called to order, Chair Taylor asked the public if anyone was in attendance for the Discussion on Tobacco Use. Hearing none, the item was tabled. At the March 9, 2011 meeting, the Parks Commission discussed the policy. Tovah Marek, Youth Enrichment Manager at Lakes Area Youth Service Bureau, informed the Commission of youth participation in Forest Lake in changing the policies in their community. Surveys were also taken at the Washington County Fair which showed fair goers would attend more if the grounds were smoke free. Currently the City of Forest Lake has no policy related to tobacco free but it has been presented twice to the City. The Parks Commission directed staff to re -write the policy with language that restricted tobacco use within a particular distance from park features with youth. Staff was also directed to work with Commissioner Derek Larsen in drafting a policy. 2. OCTOBER PARKS COMMISSION DISCUSSION: Before making a recommendation to the City Council, the Parks Commission discussed four different parts of a possible ban: 1. have a policy, ordinance or none; and 2. include the entire park or a distance from certain features; and 3. apply it to active parks, passive parks or all parks; and 4. ban all tobacco use or smoking. In discussions of a ban, the Parks Commission did a roll call vote on each of the parts. Commissioner Derek Larsen abstained. Larsen is employed by the Tobacco Free Youth Recreation Program. In a 4 to 3 vote, the Parks Commission recommended a policy verses an ordinance. One Commissioner voted to have neither a policy nor an ordinance. Discussion included peer enforcement, enforcement by the Washington County Sheriffs Office and signage. In a 6 to 2 vote, the Parks Commission recommended a ban on the entire park property. The issues listed with using a distance (i.e. 25 feet from children, etc.) included enforcement and clarity to park goers. The option of having an area designated to smoke was also discussed. In a 5 to 3 vote, the Parks Commission recommended that the ban include the entire park system (active and passive parks), rather than only in active parks. In a 4 to 4 vote, the Parks Commission was tied on whether to ban all tobacco use or just smoking. A ban on all tobacco use would include spit tobacco use and smoking. The reasons given for a smoking -only ban include: ■ Role -modeling is not enough of a reason to also ban spit tobacco. ■ Second hand smoke is hazardous to park -goers health, but it is hard to recognize the second-hand effects of spit tobacco. ■ Enforcement of spit tobacco use may be difficult. ■ Regulation of a lifestyle choice is outside the government's role to protect civil liberties. The reasons given for a ban on use of all tobacco products include: ■ Role -modeling is important for youth -prevention. ■ Spit tobacco also produces litter. ■ A total ban is black/white, making it clear to park goers. ■ Role -modeling for all youth trumps the civil liberties of 18% of people. (Percentage of smokers given by McFadden) 3. CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION: At their November 15, 2010 meeting, the City Council heard a presentation summarizing discussions and the four votes on the four variations on the regulation. Chair Jim Taylor was present and stated his opinion that all parks should be tobacco free, and the Council discussed whether it needed to be addressed at this time and whether government needed to be regulating life style choices by ordinance. The City Council also discussed that tobacco would be allowed at events in parks through a Special Event Permit. For example, the Hugo Lions Club applies annually for a Special Event Permit for Good Neighbor Days to allow for alcohol to be served, amplified music and an extension of park hours. The Lions Club could choose to include an exemption from a tobacco use policy also. A motion was made and seconded to support the policy prohibiting the use of tobacco in parks. The motion was carried which tabled the discussion to allow the Parks Commission to further consider the policy and provide a recommendation to the City Council. 4. JANUARY PARKS COMMISSION DISCUSSION: At the January 12, 2011 meeting, the Parks Commission discussed feedback from the City Council on the tobacco use policy. The Parks Commission discussed changing the policy to state "whenever youth activities are present". They also discussed that allowing tobacco at large events is contrary to the rational for the policy that provides for the public's health and safety. The discussion was tabled to allow further discussion by the Parks Commission at the February meeting. 5. YOUTH ATHLETIC POLICY RESEARCH: Staff was asked to research youth athletic policies related to tobacco use. In the Minnesota Youth Soccer Associations Rules and Policy Manual it states: "An individual attending an MYSA sponsored or sanctioned game shall not use or consume, buy, sell or give away: any beverage containing alcohol; tobacco in any form; or any other controlled substance while present at the playing venue. This rule does not apply to properly prescribed medication. " Of the youth athletic groups that would be using the Hanifl Fields Athletic Park, Beaver Ponds Park, Lions Park, Diamond Point Park or other athletic field; no organization was found that did not have a policy in place prohibiting the use of tobacco at events. 6. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that Commissioner Derek Larsen lead a discussion and provide examples of similar policies/ordinances. Staff recommends that the draft resolution attached be amended and a recommendation be made to the City Council. 7.

We are matriculating into a new grant cycle with new guidelines and a new region, so I've been trying to wrap my brain around my new job duties and stuff. So, I've went over the discussion that we've heard at all our park board hearings and where it looks like we can come to a concensus. These are examples of how a policy can be structured, not necessarily what we need to do verbatim. I will lead the discussion of why I included these policies for the Commission, and then it would be best if we had a discussion about 1. what policy model would work best?; 2. Are there entire parks that we feel should be entirely included?; 3. What park facilities do we want to include? That should be an extensive enough discussion to pass something along to the City Council and finish this discussion once and for all. Feel free to call me if you have any questions. Derek K.
