City Council Meeting Minutes August 7, 2018 Page 9 of 17 Councilmember Keany thought family friendly is more an enforcement issue, if we need the ability to do this it comes down to how it is handled, more an organizational piece. He would like to have some designated locations available for smoking in the larger parks or ballfields. Mayor Muckle agreed family friendly is more of an enforcement issue. Councilmember Stolzmann stated people she had spoken to were not supportive of any smoking in the parks but there was support for smoking cigars on the golf course. We need to zone properties as open space and then enforce on the properties that are zoned and just be straight forward. There was Council disagreement about the language concerning enforcing on land not yet zoned. Members wanted to continue to move forward with the zoning process. Council asked the Legal Committee to come up with choices. Regarding the smoking ban: Councilmember Keany would like to allow staff the ability to designate smoking areas in parking areas of parks. Councilmember Maloney was against restricting smoking at all. Councilmember Loo was in favor of Councilmember Keany's recommendation. Councilmember Stolzmann supported no smoking. Councilmember Leh supported allowing staff to designate places where available and if needed. Mayor Pro Tem Lipton supported smoke free parks and in parking lots; it is a health and safety issue. Council members asked Legal Committee to come back with options. Vote: All in favor to continue to October 16, 2018. ORDINANCE NO. 1761, SERIES 2018 — AN ORDINANCE APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING A PETITION FOR AN AMENDMENT TO THE CITY'S ALLOTMENT CONTRACT WITH THE MUNICIPAL SUBDISTRICT, NORTHERN COLORADO WATER CONSERVANCY DISTRICT TO INCREASE THE CITY'S ALLOTMENT OF WINDY GAP WATER UNITS — 2nd Reading — Public Hearing (advertised Daily Camera 7/22/18) City Attorney Light introduced the ordinance. Mayor Muckle opened the public hearing and called for a staff presentation. Director Kowar stated this was a lease purchase of water shares from Greeley. The City has paid for the shares and this is the formal paperwork to get the shares in our name. Staff recommends approval. The purchase is already in the budget and in the rate models. This is not a new cost to the City and it is in the raw water master plan.
