Exhibit "A"
Section 2.06, Smoking in the Work Place
Smoking is prohibited in City Hall and other public work locations.
Smoking is permitted only in areas designated as smoking areas, as
determined by the Department Head.
This policy extends to all work areas including public areas,
lobbies, restrooms, stairways, elevators, employee lounges, and
hallways. Smoking areas may be designated by the Department Heads
which are consistent with the intent of this policy.
Smoking in City vehicles used for local and out-of-town travel as
"pool cars" is prohibited. Smoking may be permitted in other City
vehicles or equipment, provided the smoker first checks with all
other occupants in the vehicle prior to smoking. If any occupant
objects to another person smoking while present in the vehicle,
then smoking is prohibited. It shall be the responsibility of the
smoker to discontinue smoking in the vehicle while the objecting
person is present.
Failure to comply with this policy is grounds for disciplinary
action.
