<br />hereby repealed," and Mr. Moore seconded the motion, which passed
<br />unanimously. George Brooks requested the Council consider adding
<br />language to the Ordinance for clear signs, whether in sYmbols or
<br />words, be required, because it was important for the Ordinance to
<br />set these standards. Mr. Moore moved to amend the Ordinance in
<br />Section 16-73 to add (d) to read, "Required signs may consist of
<br />wording and/or universal sYmbols," and Mr. Hernandez seconded the
<br />motion, which passed unanimously. Kermit Welch requested the
<br />Council look at requiring new business construction to have separate
<br />rooms/separate ventilation for smoking and non-smoking areas and for
<br />existing businesses to be required to have similar improvements
<br />within some period of time, such as three years. Mr. Gilley stated
<br />Building Code regulations could require separate smoking and
<br />non-smoking areas for new construction, and Council requested the
<br />costs for the separation be brought to them. Mr. Gilley stated when
<br />additional construction is done at an existing business,
<br />requirements could be set in place to implement separate smoking and
<br />non-smoking areas, but it would be difficult to require existing
<br />businesses to meet requirements without physically inspecting each
<br />business in the City. Mr. Guerra stated he thought existing
<br />businesses should be grandfathered and the City only look at new
<br />businesses. George Brooks requested the Council consider
<br />establishing a Committee to evaluate the effectiveness of the
<br />Ordinance. The Council voted unanimously for adoption of the
<br />Ordinance.
<br />
