COMMISSION APPLICATION NO. 2Q04-009 SUBMITTED BY
FRAUENSHUH COMPANIES
07/26/04 -4- DRAFT
Planning and Zoning Specialist Ron Warren discussed the applicant for Planning Commission
Application No. 2004-009 had requested an amended Planned Unit Development (PUD) since the
Councii last approved the first request for a PUD. The amendment would be a modification in the
location of the building and the drive lanes previously approved in order that they not be required to
construct a three-foot high decarative masonry wall. The purpose of the decorative wall was to
offset or mitigate the negative effects of the lessened greenstrip. The new proposal has factors and
attributes that the applicant believes should relieve them of providing the decorative wall that has
become an expensive obstacle.
Mr. Warren informed that the resolution before the Council this evening acknowledges the history
and conditions for approval of this PUD.
Councilmember Niesen expressed that she is in favor of a larger greenstrip; however, has a concern
about the walkway off of Bass Lake Road. Mr. Warren informed that currently the walkway is an
existing walkway and that the only thing that is changing is the additional paved walkway on the
property to the building.
Councilmember Catmody expressed that she believes the greenstrip will be a nice factor; however,
she believes that the applicant will regret not putting up a fence and that they will have problems
with pedestrian traffic.

-RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING APPROVAL OF THE ISSUANCE OF A
PREMISES PERMIT FOR BROOKLYN PARK YOUTH HOCKEY
ASSOCIATION TO CONDUCT LAWFUL GAMBLING AT COYOTE
GRILLE, 2101 FREEWAY BOULEVARD, BROOKLYN CENTER,
MINNESOTA
Mr. McCauley discussed since the Council last had discussions with the Brooklyn Park Youth
Hockey Association (BPYHA) regarding an ordinance amendment to allow them to conduct lawful
gambling at the Coyote Grille in Brooklyn Center had submitted a premises permit. Mr. McCauley
outlined the history of the matter and informed the Council that they are being asked this evening to
consider if the BPYHA qualifies under the current ordinance to conduct lawful gambling at Coyote
Grille in Brooklyn Center.
The following addressed the Council to discuss the BPYHA request and to ask that the Council
consider the premises permit:
Jay Anderson, Vice President
Brian Schipper, Officer at Large
Bob Eggerichs, President
Kurt Carman, Gambling Manager
Resident of Brooklyn Center who has three boys playing hockey through the BPYHA
Nick Grainmas, Owner of Coyote Grille
Mr. Anderson outlined a PowerPoint Presentation that discussed why they were before the Council
this evening, who they represent, what the BPYHA does, the plan for growth into Brooklyn Center,
the Brooklyn Center spending and details, and other financial benefits to the City of Brooklyn Center
businesses. During the presentation Mayor Kragness asked how many children in their association
are from Brooklyn Center. Mr. Anderson replied that there are approximately 22 children out of 450
in the program. Councilmember Niesen questioned the mission statement and language provided in
the BPYHA By-laws as to why Brooklyn Center is not listed. Mr. Anderson informed that the By-
laws have not been updated within the last three years.
Mr. Eggerichs discussed that they are not asking for an ordinance amendment and that he believes
they qualify under the current ordinance to conduct lawful gambling at Coyote Grille.
Councilmember Lasman recapitulated an opinion from the City Attorney that outlined what the
Council would need to consider in determining if the BPYHA qualifies to conduct lawful gambling
at Coyote Grille.
07/26/04 -8- DRAFT
Mr. Eggerichs informed that their State license would be up for renewal in seventeen months. He
asked that the Council consider approving their premises permit until then and review their pernut at
that time.
City Attorney Charlie LeFevere discussed that the City would not have the authority to grant a
license and then decide to take the license away.
Councilmember Carmody discussed that looking at the six requirements outlined by the City
Attorney, the BPYHA only meets one of the requirements and that this would be a problem
qualifying the BPYHA as a Brooklyn Center organization.
A motion by Councilmember Carmody, seconded by Councilmember Lasman to deny approval of
the issuance of a premises permit for the BPYHA to conduct lawful gambling at Coyote Grille, 2101
Freeway Boulevard.
Councilmember Lasman expressed that the Council needs to stand by the ordinance the way it was
written.
CouncilmemberNiesen expressed that she hopes that the BPYHA will integrate Brooklyn Center as
part of their future endeavors and hopes that they will come back before the Council once they have
been established for more than three years in Brooklyn Center.
Motion passed unanimously.
10e. DISPOSITION OF OBSOLETE AIR PACS
Mr. McCauley discussed that the Fire Chief has advertised old breathing equipment for sale in
various fire and government publications with no responses or inquires expressed for interest in
purchasing the old air pacs. The Fire Chief had contacted fire equipment dealers and found one that
would be interested in paying the City for used air pacs.

g y e proposal submitted by the developer to construction
a Radisson hotel development adjacent to the Earle Brown Heritage Center with 200 rooms, a 150
seat full service restaurant, and a 25,000 square foot indoor water park. The proposed development
agreement submitted by the developer provides that the Economic Development Authority (EDA)
would pay up to $1 Million for the cost of c�structing a link between the hotel and the Earle Brown
Heritage Center. The developer would pay $2,165,000 for the property twenty years after the date of

an amount greater than the original principal permanent loan. The developer would receive tax
increment generated only by the hotel property up to a principal amount of $2.6 Million or the
eligible costs, whichever is less. The note would run through February 1 of 2011 providing
increment from 2007 through 2010 tax years.

PROPOSAL TO INCREASE ANNUAL FIRE RELIEF PENSION AMOUNTS
Mr. McCauley discussed that the Fire Relief Association had requested an increase in the lump sum
annual benefits, as they had not been adjusted since 1998. Springsted had reviewed the materials
supplied by the Fire Relief Association along with additional materials on the fire pension. It is
recommended that the pension be increased to $�,000 per year effective in 2005 and scheduling of
annual reviews of the pension amount. It is anticipated that the pension could be increased $500 in
2005 for 2006; however, continuirig with review increases based on annual reviews rather than set a
multi-year set of increases given the needs for fund balances and potential changes in experience ar
markets is suggested.
Kent Korman, Brooklyn Center Fire Relief Association President, addressed the Council to present a
PowerPoint Presentation regarding their requ�rements, stats, pension history, comparable fire
department pension amounts, pension contributions, and the projected costs of increased benefits.
Mayor Kragness expressed that she believes the increase is deserved; and Councilmember Lasman
expressed that she believes it is important to have an ineentive to retain good firefighters.

Mr. McCauley inquired if the Council would like staff to pursue the development of a development
agreement for a senior housing proposal for 57�' Avenue across from Northbrook Shopping Mall.
The proposal would be used to satisfy part of the requirements to expend fifteen percent of increment
tax from TIF District No. 3 for low to moderate income housing. At the end of 2004, the projected
housing requirement is $2.1 Million and the cumulative housing requirement could range as high as
8 to $10 Million through termination of the district depending on the value of redevelopment in "TIF
District No. 3.
Jim Winkles, Contractor, and Mike Todd, Property Manager, addressed the Council to outline some
of the features that the 60 unit senior housing proposal would include. All units would be fully
equipped with kitchens and washer and dryers, and one underground parking location per unit. If a
proposal were accepted the construction would start in the spring of 2005 and take approximately
nine months.
Councilmember Niesen ex ressed concern about the location and uestioned if there would be other

Subject: Site Performance Guarantee Reduction
Date: August 4, 2004
The following site performance guarantee being held by the city for the completion of various
site improvements should be recommended to the City Council for reduction:
Twin Lakes III, LLC (3900 Lakebreeze Avenue North)
Planning Commission Application No. 2001-012
Amount of Guarantee $130,000 (Performance Bond)
Obligor Twin Lakes III, LLC
All site improvements and conditions for which a site performance guarantee was posted have
been completed with respect to this 2003 project. An as built survey has been submitted to the
Engineer Department and other engineering related items have been completed. Landscape for
this development was installed this spring and is in compliance with the plan. Some
landscaping appears to be on the verge of dying out. A portion of the guarantee should be
held through the winter to assure the viability of all landscaping.
It is recommended that the City Council authorize reduction of the $130,000 performance bond
to $25,000 pending review next spring of the viability of the landscape improvements for this
project.

Association requested that the increase in pension be made effective as of 3anuary 1, 2004, instead of
prospective to January l, 2005. Based on the actuarial analysis that would increase the benefit in the
current year, I would see no reason not to make the lump sum benefit change effective this year,
rather than next. The proposed resolution does direct a review in August of 2005 and encourages the
Fire Relief Association to begin implementation of Springsted's contingency cash target amount.

Mr. Mike McCauley, City Manager
Ciiy oi Brooklyn Ce�fier
6301 Shingle Creek Parkway
Brooklyn Center, MN 55430-2199
Dear Mike:
You have requested that we informally review the material provided by the Brooklyn Center Fire
Relief Association and its most recent actuarial valuation which was performed by Van
Inwaarden. As with a similar review we performed in 1997, you have again asked that we
review this information not from an actuarial standpoint but from the City's policy perspective in
order to give you a second opinion regarding the potential policy implications for the City.
We have undertaken an informal review utilizing the Associations 2003 Audit Report and the
Van Inwaarden January 1, 2003 actuarial valuation dated June 2003, with certain schedules
updated as of July 2, 2004. Based on this review, we have come up with the following findings:
The Fund appears to be well run and actuarially sound based upon the Van
Inwaarden report.
The plan had a surplus of $720,103 as of January 1, 2004 compare to $61,445 as of
January 1, 2003. The increase in surplus is due primarily to the adjustment of
$658,658 to adjust the carrying value of investments to the fair market value as of
Decemb�r 3'! 2QQ3.
The firefighters are requesting that their lump sum benefits be increased from
$5,000 per year of service to $6,000 per year of service. The actuarial valuation
incorporates two scenarios: the increase to $6,000 held static through 2008 and the
increase for 2004 to $6,000 and increases in the lump sum benefit per year of
service by $250 per year through 2008 bringing the lump sum benefit to $7,000 per
year of service.
Based on the revised actuarial valuation dated July 2, 2004, the City would not be
required to make a contribution to the fund during the period 2004 through 2008,
over and above what is projected for state aid, under either scenario. The City
contributed $16,239 during 2002 and $0 during 2003.
The state aid passed through to the Association for 2002 was $104,269 and
$125,123. State aid for 2004 is projected in the actuarial valuation to be $126,200
and then increased by two percent (2%) each year through 2008.

City of Brooklyn Center, MN
July 23, 2004

One of the issues addressed in
1997 that still holds true is the diversity of
investments held by the Association. As of December 31, 2003 approximately thirty-
seven percent (37%) or $1,149,781 of the plan assets continued to be held in
corporate stocks and bonds with the remaining $1,943,120 held in primarily mutual
funds. Onty $50,215 or approximately one and one-half percent (1%2%) of total
investments was held in money market accounts.
The primary concern of the City is if it concurs with the request, will the increase requested
require the City to contribute additional dollar resources to the Relief Association Retirement
Fund? Based upon the information available the answer would be no; there are no additional
dollars required to be contributed by the City to the Association for an increase in the lump sum
benefit to $6,000 per year of service in 2004 and held static throuqh 2008. However, while
there will be no apparent financial impact to the City in future years increasing from $6,000 in
2004 to approximately $7,000 in 2008 based on the current actuarial valuation, changes in the
economy could significantly impact the projected actuarial valuations. The situation continues
to be complex and requires more than a simple yes or no answer. Some areas where we
believe there could be issues are as follows
Investments
The market while stable today could fluctuate significantly at any point in time as was seen
during 2002 and 2003. As mentioned above, the Association still holds the majority of their
investments in instruments that are subject to market fluctuations. The net value of the
Associations assets could decline and be substantially less then the original purchase price.
This could cause a need for additional contributions from the City to keep the Retirement Fund
at a fully-funded status.
We had recommended in our 1997 review, and concur with that recommendation today, that
the City could protect itself and minimize its risk by requiring the Association to establish a
reserve fund that would equal ten to twenty percent of the funds held in instruments subject to
market fluctuations. This fund could be used to make-up any shortfall or portion thereof caused
by market fluctuations and downtums that would have caused an increase in the City's
contribution to meet the actuarial value of the fund. Monies held in money market accounts
could be a part of the total eserve.
Based on the investments hefd at December 31, 2003, a reserve of ten percent would have
been approximately $304,000. As stated before, there was $50,214 held in money market
accounts that could be applied to this amount teaving an unfunded reserve amount of
approximately $254,000. This reserve amount would be adjusted in direct relationship to the
doliars invested in investments that are subject to market fluctuations.
State Aid
The State Aid is projected to increase at a level of 2% each year in the actuarial valuation. The
current "flux" with the State's financial position could have a negative impact on the amount
passed through to relief associations. Funding for fire state aid comes from taxes paid to the
state for certain insurance policies. The distribution is based in part on the population and
market value of the area served and in part on the number of "active" firefighters who are
members of the relief association. This area should be monitored to ensure the actuarial
valuations are not too aggressive in this area.
City of Brooklyn Center, MN
July 23, 2004
Page 3
Actuarial Valuation
The actuarial valuation currently includes two scenarios updated as of July 2, 2004. The first
includes an increase in the lump sum benefit to $6,000 per year of service remaining constant
through 2008. The second includes an increase to a lump sum benefit of $6,000 per year of
service for 2004 and then increases the lump sum benefit per year of service b$250 er ear
Y p Y
through 2008 bringing the lump sum benefit to $7,000 per year of service. Both projections
indicate that based on current conditions, no additional contribution by the City would be
required to fund the requests.
These responses are based on a review utilizing the Associations 2002 and 2003 Audit Reports
and the Van Inwaarden January 1, 2003 actuarial valuation dated June 2Q03 with certain
schedules revised as of July 2, 2004.
We trust these responses address the policy issues raised on behalf o the City. Again,
Springsted is not offering an opinion as to the actuarial status of the fund; rather, this is a
review of potential risk and a way for the City to manage it.

TO: Michael McCauley, City Manager
FROM: Ron Boman, Fire Chief
Kent Korman, President BCFD Relief Association
SUBJECT: Increase in Fire Pension
DATE: February 25, 2004
In January 1997, the Brooklyn Center Relief Association Board began studying the feasibility
of converting firom a defined benefit pian to a defined contribution plan. In December 1997,
with the approval of the Brooklyn Center City Council, the Brooklyn Center Relief Fire
Pension was Increased to $5,000 per year of service with the understanding that the Fire
Department would continue to research the feasibility of going to a defined contribution type
plan.
This process has taken several years and during this time the Relief Association has had 3
Presidents. The members of the Relief Association Board have spent hundreds of hours
meeting with ather fire department relief associations and attorneys whi{e researching the
defined contribution plan. A summary of our meetings and research follows:
January 20, 1997:
Discussion was brought up by the fire department general membership to have the relief
association board investigate the possibility of going to a defined contribution plan. The
following items were brought up to investigate.
How to split the funds What our vesting policy will be
Actuarial Impact What age can members start collecting
Financial Impact on City How to buy out existing monthly retirees
Cost for start up fund Engage attorneys
Meet with departments that have
Converted to defined contribution plan
February 5, 1997:
Met with Chuck McKusick of Fridley Fire and discussed how Fridley converted to defined
contribution and how long it took.
March 31, 1997:
Met with Mike Kanyetzay of Brooklyn Park Fire and discussed how Brooklyn Park
converted to defined contribution.
April 28, 1997:
Met with Steve Longacre and John Podence of Crystal Fire and discussed how Crystal
�ire converted to defined contribution.
Page 2
February 25, 2004
November 1997:
Met with Niles Zikmund, Spring Lake Fire Chief and President of Minnesota Area Relief
Association Coalition, to discuss going to defined contribution plan.
December 1997:
Met with Brooklyn Center City Council to receive approval to go to $5,000 per year of
service. The City Council directed the Relief Association to continue to examine the
feasibility of migrating to a defined contribution type of plan.
August 1998:
Met with Stephen R. Eide Attomey, a specialist in relief association pension law, and
requested that he draft a letter outlining problems/obstacles in going to defined
contribution plan).
November 21, 2000:
Received a letter from Attomey Stephen Eide with possible problems that could be
encountered by going to defined contribution:
Could become taxable on a yearly basis if we convert to defined contribution, as a
defined contribution plan is not a qualified IRS plan, which could make members
vulnerable to taxes before they receive any benefits. (our current plan is a qualified
IRS plan.
Distribution before 59 could carry a 10% early distribution penalty. Our current plan
allows a rollover at age 50.
Distribution may not be allowed to roll over to a tax-exempt IRA.
Conclusion: In order to qualify the defined contribution plan we would have to petition
congress for an amendment to section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code. This would be
difficult and expensive according to our attomey, Stephen Eide.
December 2001:
Relief Association engaged another attorney, Krista K. Boston, who also specializes in fire
pensions, to review the conclusions outlined in Stephen Eide's fetter regarding converting
to a defined contribution plan. Ms. Boston agreed with Mr. Eide that there is a risk by
converting to defined contribution.
December 2001 2002:
Relief Association Board continued work to change to a defined contribution plan but ran
into many obstacles that prohibit converting to this type of plan:
State statutes that effect how our current volunteer pensions have to be divided
amongst the relief association members making it almost impossible to convert to a
defined contribution plan without a large contribution from the City of Brooklyn
Center. This amount would probably be $400,000 to $500,000 one time lump sum
to our pension fund.
Page 3
February 25, 2004
Oider members thos w'
e ith over 13 years of service, in the present pension wouid
take a severe loss of $15,000 to $25,000 by going to a defined contribution plan.
History of Previous Benefits
Historically, the members of the fire department do not receive run pay for fire and
emergency calls a savings of over $130,000 a year to the City. Because of this our pension
have been at or near the ceiling allowed by the State of Minnesota pension benefits. The
current state pension cap is at $7,500 per year of service.
In 1993 the pension cap was raised from $3,000 per year of service to $4,000 per year of
service. The City adopted a resolution to allow the pension to increase to the maximum as
follows.
1993 increased to $3,375 per year of service
1994 increased to $3,500 per year of service
1995 increased to $3,750 per year of service
1996 increased to $4,000 per year of service maximum allowed.
In 1997 the State increased the pension cap to $5,500 per year of service, and in the
City adopted a resolution to allow the fire pension to $5,000 per year of service. The
fire department was directed to research the possibility in moving to a defined
contribution plan.
1998 increased to $5,000 per year of service.
In 2000 the State increase the fire pension cap to the following amounts $6,000 in 2Q00,
6,500 in 2001, $7,000 in 2002 and $7,500. Brooklyn Center Fire Department has not had an
increase in our lump sum pension since 1998..
Conclusion:
As it has been six (6) years since our firefighters have received an increase in our pension
and the actuarial completed by Paul Krueger from Van Iwaarden updated on February 25,
2004 shows the City could allow the firefighters to increase our pension to $6,000 per year of
service with no additional liability to the city, it is our recommendation that the fire department
be given a resolution by the City Council that would aliow us to move to $6,000 per year of
service, effective April 1, 2004.
In addition, the members of the fire department would like to have the City adopt a plan
similar to the resolution passed in 1993 where the cit would allow the fire de artment to
Y P
move toward the lump sum cap of $7,500 per year of service in yearly amounts of $250 to
$500 per year until we reached the maximum amount allowed by the state.
The pension is the biggest setling tool we have in attracting and retaining new members for
the fire department. Because we only allow members to become vested after 10 years of
service, this lump sum enhances our ability to retain members on our fire department for a
minimum of 10 years.

Market value of assets as of January 1, 2004 was provided by the relief Association. The remaining values
are based on these earlier values and the following assumptions:
investment return: 5%
annual State Aid increase: 2%
number of active firefighters after 2004: 37 (the number on 1/1/2004 was 31; we have assumed the
more conservative position in terms of average financing that the number will return to 37)
Minnesota Statutes provide limits on the benefits that may be paid by volunteer firefighter relief
associations. The limits are based on "a�erage available financing", a value based on a three-year average of
state aid, city contributions and an annual 10% credit for any surplus of assets over liabilities. The value is
expressed on a per active firefighter basis.

TO: Michael McCauley City Manager
FROM: Ron Boman Fire Chief Q.�J
Kent Korman Relief Assoc. President
SUBJECT: Requested Addition information on Pensions
DATE: May 17, 2004
1Ne have compiled the information you requested from Van Iwaarden Associates and various
#ire departments regarding state 2%, city contributions and fire run pay compensation.
According to Van Iwaarden, we can easily afford increasing to $6,000 effective 2004 and then
brin in the
g g plan up to $7,000 with $250 per year increases in each of the following years. We
feel this is extremely important for the morale and well being of the fire department membership.
As you are aware, we do not pay our firefighters any run pay for responding to fire runs which
has resulted in a savings to the City of Brooklyn Center of at least $125,000 per year, or a
savings of $750,000 since our last pension increase.
Historically our fire department has been at the maximum al{owed pension cap. Whenever the
state has allowed a pension increase our Fire Department has been incrementally increased to
that tevel. This is no longer the case as the state fire pension is now at $7,500 per year of
service and our department is still at 1998 level of $5,000 er ear of service.
P Y
In the table below I have listed some comparabte city fire departments listing their state 2%, city
contribution, and fire run pay. In addition, most cities with a population of less than 20,000 are
only running 200 to 400 runs per year while Brooklyn Center Fire Department has 1000 runs per
year.
NOTE: The first 10 city fire departments are all defined contribution lump sum; the last 3
city fire departments (in italics) are defined contribution lump sum.

Introduction
I
Purnose"
This report presents the results of the January 1, 2003 valuation for the Brooklyn Center Fire Deparlment
Relief Association. Its primary purposes are:
to deternune the annual contribution for 2003, and
to show the plan's pension benefit obligation under General Accounting Standards Board Statement
No. 25 (GASB 25) as of January 1, 2003.
Sources of data
The Relief A,ssociation sugplied January 1, 2003 data for all active and retired members, and asset da.ta
for the special fund. VVe have relied on this data in preparing this report.
Changes from the ,vrevious valuation
The prior actuarial valuation of the plan was prepared as of January 1, 2001. The actuarial assumptions
and methods used to prepare this report are identical to those used in the 2001 report. Plan benefits have
not increased since the previous report.
Summarv of valuation results.
The annual contribution payable for 2003 under the current plan is $111,821 (see page 3). Based on an
estimated State Aid contribution of $90,128 (the 2002 contribution), the City would be required to make
a contribution of $21,673, The contribution is higher than the 2001 required contribution of $56,879
before State Aid and $0 after State Aid. This is mostly a result of unfavorable asset perfonnance as
compared with the required 5% assumption.

within the city limits of Brooklyn Center in the Palmer Lake area.
As required by the Plan this annual report has been prepared to document the progress of
implementation in 2003 and early 2004. This report also provides recommendations for
the remainder of 2004.
Education
In 2003 th
e Cit
y posted the adopted deer management plan on the city Web Site. The Sun
Post and Channel 12 provided news coverage and background information regarding the
purpose and results of the first deer management bow hunt. The City published an article
in the Winter 2004 City Watch explaining the Deer Mgt Plan and its goals. In the spring
of 2004 the City contacted the cities of Brooklyn Park, Crystal and the Metropolitan
Airport Commission regarding our plan and goal to reduce the deer population and
encouraged their involvement in this effort.
Population Control
Summary of January 2004 deer hunt
During the five-day hunt, twenty (20) deer were confirmed taken and one shot but
missing.
Breakdown of the 20 deer taken:
16 Doe (Fetus count of the taken does during the examination was 2�.)
4 Buck (1 with a rack, 1 with a shed rack, and two button racks.)
Ar
eas of Concerns•
On 1/30/04 at 1015 hours a Brooklyn Center Police Officer patrolling the area of West
Palmer Lake discovered a deer carcass in the parking lot area. Upon further investigation
there appeared to be the remains of two-three deer next to the full deer carcass. The
officer finding these items was the same officer who was assigned parameter duty on the
night of the last hunt (January 29` That officer was 100% certain these deer remains
were not in the park after the deer hunters left. The concern raised was that the remains
might have been road kill that was brought to the park by a person(s) opposed to the hunt
and this was left for shock value. At no time during any days of the hunt were deer
remains just thrown out in the parking lots. All deer were field dressed discreetly in the
inner portions of the park.
Outside Contacts and Professional Viewpoints:
Conservation Officer Todd Kanieski was present at the first three hunt days. Officer
Kanieski did feel the hunt went very well and was pleased with the police and city safety
efforts. The only concern Officer Kanieski noted was about the first day of the hunt
where seven deer were shot and only three were recovered that night. The lack of snow
and light did make the tracking very hard. The next morning the MBRB did recover two
of the missing deer. (A third was located on January 29 and the forth deer, a buck, was
not located.) After a discussion with the MBRB coordinator on the second day about this
concern, all deer shot were located. (The search teams stayed in the field until all were
located.)
Also, Officer Kanieski and the MBRB transported the deer taken to Fort Snelling in St.
Paul. This helped keep the City's cost down significantly.
During the 2004 Police Community Outreach meeting held on February 18` three
separate residents from the Palmer Lake Area expressed appreciation for the City's
efforts in reducin the deer o ula
g p p tion.
As of February 20, 2004, the Brooklyn Center Police Statian has received only one call in
complaint of the deer hunt. That caller didn't know where Palmer Lake Park was and was
in opposition to the hunting of any animals. Well over 200 ealls were received, with the
majority asking how to participate in the hunt or general questions about the parks
closure.

Feeding Ban
The Council adopted a deer-feeding ban by ordinance in November 2001. The purpose of
a feeding ban is to discourage residents from placing corn, grains fruits or other food that
result in attracting deer into neighborhoods. It this ban is an important deterrent to the
continued growth in of the deer population within the urban environment.
2004 Recommendations
Education
It is recommended that the City continue its education strategy as outlined in the Dee
Management Plan.
Monitoring
Monitoring of deer accidents and complaints should continue in 2004.
Feeding Ban
The City should continue enforcement of the feeding ban.
Population Control
Given the success of the 2004 bow hunt and given the results of the February 2004 aerial
survey, it is recommended that the City authorize a second bow hunt during the hunting
season of 2004. Because of the desire for snow cover the Metro Bow-Hunters Resource
Base (MBRB) has recommended that this hunt be held during the weeks following the
Thanksgiving holidays.
4
As indicated i
n the D
eer M t lan the
g p optimum number of deer for an urban area is
fifteen-twenty per square mile of habitat area. The Deer Mgt Plan sets a goal maximum
of twenty deer per square mile of habitat area. With 751 acres of habitat in Brooklyn
Center the maximum goal for Brooklyn Center is 21 deer.
As established in the table above, there were thirty-six deer in the three Brooklyn Center
Districts on February 9, 2004. Because several of these deer were does with fetus, the
actual number in Brooklyn Center today have certainly grown to thirty or more. It is also
likely that many of the deer located in Brooklyn Park and the MAGCrystal area, migrate
into Brooklyn Center on a regular basis.
Therefore a second deer hunt in Brooklyn Center is recommended.
Brooklyn Park
According to the February aerial survey, forty-three (43) of the one hundred eight deer
(108) counted were iocated within the municipal boundaries of Brooklyn Park. The City
Manager has been contacted and sent inforrnation regarding our deer management
program. Representatives of the police department of Brooklyn Park have expressed an
interest in working together to address the deer growth problems in the Palmer Lake
Basin. Lt. Lee Folstad of Brooklyn Park has been working with his city staff on a
proposal however there has been no actions taken beyond discussions and a deer count.
It is recommended that we continue to work with and encourage Brooklyn Park to
implement a deer reduction program in the Palmer Lake Basin Area.
CrystaUMAC
In speaking with the City Manager of Crystal it was indicated the City has not
experienced problems beyond the Crystal Airport Area that would necessitate action of
the City Council. The C stal Ai ort mana er did acknowled e that the ai ort has had
rY �P g g iP
serious concerns in the past that caused them to use sharp shooters to reduce the deer
herd. Subsequently they added fencing that has resulted in fewer deer interfering with
airport operations. The manager has agreed to meet regarding this issue to determine if
the Airport Commission warrants a further deer reduction strategy.
I recommend that we continue to encourage the Airport Commission to implement a deer
reduction strategy o Airport property in cooperation with the City of Crystal.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Kragness, Councilmembers C Lasman, Niesen, and Peppe
FROM: Michael J. McCaule
DATE: August 4, 2004
SUBJECT: Southbound T.H. 100 Access at SO Avenue
Attached please find materials from Todd Blomstrom and the Minnesota Department of
Transportation (Mn/DOT). Mn/DOT is proposing an alternate construction process/scheduling for
southbound T.H. 100 at 50�' Avenue. As I understand the basic outline, they are proposing to close
50�' Avenue and install the permanent paving and permanent access ramp improvements over a six
or so week period of time. The trade off being proposed is a potentially safer configuration and
completion of the project this year rather than temporary lanes going through the winter. Mr.
Blomstrom is requesting that Mn/DOT make a presentation to the City Council regarding their
proposal so that the Council can be informed as to the specifics of this proposal and provide the
Council's reaction to the proposal.

FROM: Todd Blomstrom, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Southbound T.H. 100 Access at 50"' Avenue
The Minnesota Depai of Transportation recently submitted t11e attached letter regarding the
proposed clos�ire�of the T.H. 100 50`�' Avenue ii�tersection. This ii�tersection cunently provides
access to southbound T.H. 100 until completion of the France Avenue interchange. Currently,
the on and off ramps for northbound T.H. 100 at France Avenue are open to traffic, but the
southbound ramps are not scheduled to be open until November 2004.
Mn/DOT representatives have inc�icated that tl�ey wish to close the T.H. 100 SO Avenue
intersection starting around September 1 s for six weeks prior to opening ramp access to
southboL�nd T.H. 100 at France Avenue. The letter identifies an accelerated construction
schedule and improved safety conditions as reasons for the proposed intersection closure. City
staff has informed Mn/DOT that the City would provide comments on the proposed intersection
closure by August 13, 2004.

Mr. Todd Blomstrom

City of Brooklyn Center
Subject: State Project 2755-75 (T.H. 100)
Access Modifications at 50 Ave N.
Dear Todd:
I am writing as a follow-up to our meeting today in which we discussed an
early closure of the 50 Ave/southbound T.H. 100 intersection. As you
know, the current construction staging allows for the 50 Ave intersection
to remain open until temporary ramp connections can be made for
southbound TH 100 at the new France Ave. interchange. We propose
closing the 50 Ave. intersection six weeks prior to the permanent
opening of the France Ave. interchange.
The six-week closure wili allow our contractor to pave the entire
southbound half of TH 100 in one stage. It provides the following
benefits:
1) Shortens the 2004 project schedule by approximately one month by
eliminating temporary ramps at France Avenue and a second
concrete paving mobilization.
2) Improves safety at the France Avenue interchange by allowing
traffic on the permanent ramps on opening day.
3) Provides an opportunity, weather permitting, to improve safety by
completing all roadway paving and rnost median work during the
2004 construction season. Traffic would be on the permanent
lanes and ramps this fall. Without the clasure, traffic will remain on
temporary bypasses through the winter.
4) Improves safety at the Brooklyn Blvd. interchange by restoring the
full ramp to SB TH 100 this fall. Without the closure, the yield
condition wiil remain on this ramp through the winter.
5) Improves roadway smoothness and quality by allowing for
continuous paving of mainline TH 100.
An equal opportunity employer
During the six-week closure, signed detours will be provided according to
the sketches we have submitted. The traffic impact wili be offset
somewhat by the reopening of the TH 100/CR 81 interchange. Traffic will
be routed to and from the NB half of the France Avenue interchange using
Brooklyn Blvd. and CR 81. Emergency vehicles will also have access
from Brooklyn Blvd. through city streets.
Please review our proposal with the appropriate city officials, and contact
me if you have any questions or need more information.
Si erely,
Dave Raley
Project Supervisor

SUBJECT: Wark Session Agenda Item
A�enda Item 1. Smokine Ban
Mayor Kragness forwarded the attached e-mail from a resident urging the City Council to adopt a
smoking ban. This item is placed on the Work Agenda for discussion as to what direction, if any,
the Council may wish to go in light of tlie recently adopted smoking bans. Among the many
options could be:
1. Defer local action pending county or statewide action
a. With a resolution requesting county or statewide ban.
b. Simply indicating that a county or statewide debate and solution is more
appropriate than a patchwork of individual city ordinances
2. Propose a local ordinance patterned on another city's ordinance.
3. Solicit input from residents and businesses on the support for or opposition to a ban
before making any proposals.
Attached are copies of the ordinances adopted in Bloomington, Minneapolis, and Duluth, along
with materials from the City of Plymouth from a study conducted on smoking bans.

Subject: Adopt a city wide smoking ban
Dear Mayar Kragness and City Council Members:
As a health care professional, I see the impacts of tobacco related
illnesses in my daily work. As a resident of the city of Brooklyn Center, I
am affected daily by smoking in and around the public places in our
community. I am urging the city council to pass a smoke free ban for our
community now.
I have been an active participant and strong supporter of our community for
years. I have worked with several of you with my previous involvement with
Earle Brown Days and the Junior Ambassadar program. I am reaching out to
you as a friend, peer and constituent.
I have always felt a personal responsibility to go to local merchants
whenever possible to keep my money in my community. On a personal level I
suffer from severe migraines triggered by cigarette smoke, and have to rnake
decisions about the places I go and businesses I frequent based in large
part on whether I am subjected to second hand smoke or not.
Our family enjoys dining out together, and on separate occasions recently
had to leave both Applebee's by Brookdale and TGIFriday's because in spite
of being seated in the non-smoking section, the second hand smoke was
pervasive and triggered a migraine for which I had to take immediate
medication, and finally leave without eating because of the amount of smoke
in the air at these establishment. My family and I will certainly be looking
more favorably to the businesses in other communities that have banned
smoking if Brooklyn Center does not take this important step.
I work for an organizations who's mission is in part "to improve the health
of our community." Please consider partnering with me and local health care
officials in stressing the need for this ban and supporting our business
partners in taking a bold step towards better health for all individuals, as
well as working towards a healthier community.
Tfiank you for considering my request. I look forward to hearing from you.

ORDINANCE NO. 2004 34
AN ORDINANCE PROHIBITING SMOKING IN PUBLIC PLACES
AND PLACES OF WORK
The City Council of the City of Bloomington hereby ordains:
Section 1. That Chapter 12 of the City Code is hereby amended to read as follows:
CHAPTER12
PUBLIC PEACE AND SAFETY
ARTICLE II. PROHIBITED CONDUCT
Division O. Smokinc� Prohibited
SEG. 12.79. [€t€�€�E-9] FINDINGS OF FACT AND PURPOSE.
The Citv Council finds that:
(al Tobacco smoke is a leadina cause of disease in nonsmokers and a maior source of indoor air
pollution. Secondhand smoke causes heart disease. luna cancer. respiratorv infections, decreased
respiratorv function. renroductiv
e nroblems and other health nrablems. Secondhand smoke
kills an
estimated 35.000 to 62.000 Americans eac:h vear from heart disease. Secondhand smoke also
causes an estimated 3.000 luna cancer deaths in America each vear.
(bl These adverse health effects are well documented and numerous medical and scientific,
authorities. includina the American Medical Association. the Suraeon General. the National Institute
on Occuoational Safetv and Health. the National Cancer Institute. the Environmental Protection
Aaencv. the National Academv of Sciences. the National Toxicoloav Proaram and the World Health
Oraanization have recoonized the deadlv effects of exoosure to secondhand smoke.
(cl There is no safe level of exnosure to tobacco smoke. Neither the seoaration of smokers and
nonsmokers, nor the introduction of new ventilation svstems. can eliminate the health hazards
caused bv secondhand smoke.
(dl Emolovees in smokv workolaces are at soecial risk. One studv has estimated that workin4 in a
smokv settina for eiaht hours is eouivalent to smokina 16 ciaarettes. Also at snecial risk are
children, elderlv neonle. and those with cardiovascular disease or imnaired resniratorv function.
includina neonle with asthma and those with obstructive airwav disease.
fe) Obiective evidence does not bear out the fear that elimination of nublic smokino will harm a
communitv's economy or result in a net loss of iobs in restaurants and bars. On the contrarv. manv
indebendent economic studies have shown that the elimination of smokina has no material
economic imaact on a communitv. These studies are drawn from the exoerience of hundreds of
communities that have successfullv eliminated smokina in work�laces and nublic ntaces. The
states of California. Connecticut. Delaware. Maine. Massachusetts. and New York have adopted
laws endina all smokina in bars. restaurants. and other aublic nlaces, as have the nations of
Ireland, New Zealand and Norwav.
(fl Bv reducina the exoosure of vouno �eonle to aduft smokino and unhealthv role modelina.
elimination of smokina in oublic olaces furthers Minnesota's ooal of reducina vouth smokina.
(al There is no leaal or c�nstitutional "riaht to smoke." Business owners have no leoal or constitutional
riaht to exoose their emolovees and customers to toxic chemicals. whether in tobacco smoke or
otherwise. On the contranr. emnlovers have a common law dutv to nrovide their workers with a
workplace that is not unreasonablv danaerous.
Therefore. the Citv Council declares that the ouroose of this ordinance is to:
(11 Protect the oublic health. safetv and welfare bv better insurina the abilitv of citizens to
breathe safe and uncontaminated air:
(21 Affirm that the rioht to breathe has orioritv over the desire to smoke: and
(31 Protect vulnerabfe oonulations includina emnlovees. children. the elderlv and those with
chronic health conditions.

RESOLUTION NO. 2004-116
RESOLUTION 5UPPORTING, ADVOCATING AND URGING THE HENNEPIN
COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS TO ENACT A COUNTY-WIDE SMOKE
FREE ORDINANCE PROHIBITING SMOKING IN PLACES OF EMPLOYMENT AND
RESTAURANTS
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Bloomington, Minnesota (the
"City"), as follows:
WHEREAS The Bloomington City Council does hereby find that:
(1) Numerous studies have found that tobacco smoke is a major contributor to
indoor air pollution, and that breathing secondhand smoke (also known as
environmental tobacco smoke) is a cause of disease in healthy
nonsmokers, including heart disease, stroke, respiratory disease, and lung
cancer. The U.S. Surgeon General has determined that secondhand smoke
is responsible for the early deaths of 65,000 Americans annually.
(2) The Public Health Service's National Toxicology Program has listed
secondhand smoke as a known carcinogen (U.S. DHHS, 2000, citing CaL
EPA, 1997).
(3) Secondhand smoke is particularly hazardous to elderly people, individuals
with cardiovascular disease, and individuals with impaired respiratory
function, including asthmatics and those with obstructive airway disease.
Children exposed to secondhand smoke have an increased risk of asthma,
respiratory infections, sudden infant death syndrome, developmental
abnormalities, and cancer.
(4) The Americans With Disabilities Act, which requires that disabled persons
have access to public places and workplaces, deems impaired respiratory
function to be a disability.
(5) The U.S. Surgeon General has determined that the simple separation of
smokers and nonsmokers within the same air space may reduce, but does
not eliminate, the exposure of nonsmokers to secondhand smoke. The
Environmental Protection Agency has determined that secondhand smoke
cannot be reduced to safe levels in businesses by high rates of ventilation.
Air cleaners, which are only capable of filtering the particulate matter and
odors in smoke, do not eliminate the known toxins in secondhand smoke.
(6) A significant amount of secondhand smoke exposure occurs in the
workplace. Employees who wark in smoke-filled businesses suffer a 25-
50% higher risk of heart attack and higher rates of death from
cardiovascular disease and cancer, as well as increased acute respiratory
disease and measurable decrease in lung function.
(7) Smoke-filled warkplaces result in higher worker absenteeism due to
respiratory disease, lower productivity, higher cleaning and maintenance
costs, increased health insurance rates, and increased liability claims for
diseases related to exposure to secondhand smoke.
(8) Smoking is a potential cause of fires.
WHEREAS, some Bloomington residents and business community are concerned that
the enactment of a local ordinance prohibiting smoking in places of employment and restaurants
will have a negative effect on the community's businesses because businesses in adjacent
communities will not be subject to the same regulation; and
WHEREAS, the Bloomington City Council has heard from those residents and
businesses that a countywide or statewide smoke free ordinance is more appropriate than a local
ordinance so as to not place at a disadvantage the businesses of this or any other individual
community; and
WHEREAS the City deems it prudent, reasonable and necessary to adopt an ordinance
that reduces the exceptions to the Minnesota Clean Indoor Air Act with regard to smoking
restrictions in public places and work places; and
WHEREAS the City also deems it prudent, reasonable and necessary to support,
advocate and urge the passage of at least a countywide ordinance (1) to protect the public health
and welfare by prohibiting smoking in public places and places of employment; and (2) to
guarantee the right of nonsmokers to breathe smoke free air, and to recognize that the need to
breathe smoke free air shall have priority over the desire to smoke.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY OF BLOOMINGTON,
NIINNESOTA THAT:
The City Council hereby supports, advocates and urges the Hennepin County Board of
Commissioners enact an ordinance establishing all places of employment and restaurants in
Hennepin County as smoke free.
ADOPTED by the City Council this 19th day of July, 2004.

Could you tell me if the City of Duluth has passed an ordinance regarding a smoking ban,
and if so if it is on your Website? Or, if it could be-mailed that would be great also.

(a) The Duluth City Council finds the following facts to exist

those with obstructive airway disease. Many of these individuals cannot go into public places with second hand
smoke due to their respiratory or allergenic handicap; and
(2) Health hazards induced by breathing second hand smoke include, but are not limited to,
lung cancer, heart disease, respiratory infection and decreased respiratory function; and

but does not eliminate, the exposure of nonsmokers to environmental tobacco smoke for which there is no known
safe level of exposure. (Ord. No. 9448, 6-12-2000, Ord. No. 9490, 5-29-2001, 1.)

Position on Smoke Free Restaurant Ordinances. Several other individuals have contacted
me about addressing the Council on this topic and plan to attend the meeting.
We are awaze of three Minnesota cities (Duluth, Little Falls, and Moose Lake) that have
adopted smoke-free restaurant ordinances. The City of Little Falls subsequently repealed
its ordinance. About one year ago, Moose Lake was the first Minnesota city to enact a
smoking ban in restaurants. Duluth was the second city to adopt an ordinance prohibiting
srnoking in restaurants and in places that serve liquor and have seating for 50 or more.
The Duluth ordinance has an exemption for businesses that can show a 15 percent loss of
profit for one month, or a 10 percent loss over two months. Several restaurants, bowling
alleys, and pool halls have been granted exemptions from the ordinance.
Attempts to enact smoking bans in restaurants have recently been rejected or withdrawn in
the cities of Grand Rapids, Maple Grove, Shakopee, Faribault, St. Cloud, and New
Prague. Rochester is currently considering adoption of an ordinance banning smoking in
restaurants.
Attached is a copy of the Minnesota Clean Indoor Air Act, as well as several articles,
which provide a good overview of what is happening in this area.

Secondhand Smoke FACT SHEET

Secondhand smoke comes frotn two places: smoke breathed out by the person
smoking, and the smoke from the end of a burning cigarette. Secondhand smoke
causes or exacerbates a wide range of adverse health effects, including cancer, respiratory
infections, and asthma.
Secondhand smoke is the third leading cause of preventable death in this country, killing
53,000 nonsmokers.in the U.S. each year. For every eight smokers the tobacco indushy kills,
it takes one nonsmoker with them.
Secondhand smoke causes lung cancer and other health problems. The EPA estimates that
secondhand smoke causes approximately 3,000 lung cancer deaths and 37,000 heart disease
deaths in nonsmokers each year.Z
Secondhand smoke contains over 4,000 chemicals; 200 are poisons; 43 cause cancer.
Secondhand smoke has been classified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a
known cause of cancer in humans (Group A carcinogen).'
The 1986 Report of the Surgeon General, the 1986 NationaI Research Council report
Environmental Tobacco Smoke: Measuring Exposures and Assessing Health Effects, and the
1992 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency report Respiratory Health Effects of Passive
Smoking; Lung Cancer and Other Disorders established that ETS exposure causes lung
cancer.
Scientific knowledge about ETS-related effects has expanded considerably since the release
of these reports. In .1997, the California Environmental Protection Agency's (Cal-EPA)
review of population-based studies conducted since 1991 confirmed earlier ETS findings and
determined that secondhand smoke is causally associated with a number of fatal and non-
fatal health effects 4
Specifically, the Cal-EPA report fmds that ETS exposure is causally linked to lung and nasal
sinus cancer, heart disease, and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Serious impacts of
ETS on children include asthma induction and exacerbation, bronchitis and pneumonia,
middle eaz infection, chronic respiratory symptoms, and low birth weight.
Just as the science regarding the health risks of ETS has increased, so has public concern
about secondhand smoke. According to a 1997 Gallup poil, 55% of American adults feel
exposure to secondhand smoke is "very harmful," compared with just 36% in 1994.
continued on back
Effects on Children
Secondhand smoke is especially harmful to young children. EPA estimates that secondhand
smoke is responsible for between 150,000 and 300,000 lower respiratory tract infections in
infants and children under 18 months of age annually, resulting in between 7,500 and 15,000
hospitalizations each year.'
Secondhand smoke is hazmful to children with asthma. The EPA estimates that for between
200,000 and one million asthmatic children, exposure to secondhand smoke worsens their
condition.
Secondhand smoke can make healthy children less than 18 months of age sick; it can cause
pneumonia, eaz infections, bronchitis, coughing, wheezing and increased mucus production.
According to the EPA, secondhand smoke can lead to the buildup of fluid in the middle ear,
the most common cause of hospitalization of children for an operation.

FRE�UEt TlY ASKED QUESTiONS ABOUT SEtOND-NAND SMOKE
What is second-han� Smoking?
`r»�
Second-hand smoking, passive smoking, involuntary smoking or exposure to environmental tobacco
smoke (ETS) all refer to the phenomena of breathing other people's smoke. Second-hand smoke is
produced during the burning and smoking of tobacco products. It results from the "sidestream'.,'. smolce;
which is emitted from the burning tip of a cigarette and the "mainstream" smoke that ha.s be�n inhaled and;.
theu exhaled by the smoker. '°''Y
��ysi.
What is found in second-hand smoke?
-n:
Second-hand smoke is a complex combination of ova 4000 chemicals in the form of particles and gases,'y�
It includes irritants and systemic toxicants such as hydrogen cyanide, sulphur dioxide, carbon monoxide;:f�
ammonia, and formaldehyde. It also contains carcinogens and mutagens such as arsenic, chromiurii;;:';
nitrosamines, and benzo(a)pyrene. Many of the chemicals are reproductive toxicants such as nicoEine;
cadmium and carbon monoacide. Second-hand smoke is also an important indoor air pollutant.
'Ihe United States Environmental Protection Agency has classified second-hand smoke as a"class A'.'
'�1
cazcinogen for which ther:. is no safe level of �xposure.
Does setond-hand smoke a�ect the health of non-smokers?
Yes. There is substantial scientific evidence that second-hand smoke is a serious health threat. Non`
smokers who breathe second-hand smoke suffer many of the diseases of active smoking. Heart disease
mortality as well as lung and nasal sinus cancers have been causally associated with second-hand smoke
exposure. Second-hand smoke also causes a wide variety of adverse health effects in children including
bronchitis and pneumonia, exacerhation'of asthma, middle eaz infections, and "glue ea�', which is tlie''
most common cause of deafness in children. Exposuze of non-smoking women to second-hand smoke
durin re anc causes reductiuns in fe e
g p gn y tal growth, and there is also ev�d nce that postna,al exposure of
infants to second-hand smoke contributes to the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
Tobacco smoke is also an important sovrce of indoor a"u pollution, causing such immediate effects as eye
and nasal irritarion, headache, sorc throat, dizziness, nausea, cough, and respiratory problems.
:_<�i
t;�
Now big a prob(em is second-hand smoke?
It is a ubiquitous problem because people from all cultures and countries are exposed to second-hand
smoke. This exposure occurs under daily-(ife conditions: homes,.at work,,.on,public:�ransport, in
restaurants, in bars---literally everywhere people go.
Surveys conducted in countries azound the worid confirm widespread exposure. One survey estimated that
79 percent of Europeans over age 15 were exposed to second-hand smoke. Recent data from South Africa
shows.that 64 pencent of children below age five in Soweto live�with at least one smoker in the house. The
Cancer Society of New Zealand reports that that second-hand smoke is the third largest killer in the
country, after active smoking and alcohol use.
What is the tobacco indumy doing about serond-ha�d smokc?
The tobacco industry is spending millions of dollars spreading a misinformarion campaign on second-hand
sr�toke: -S�ientists and=consalt�aii�s have i�een tiired anly confuserthe ptTblic a'boui the vaIidity of
scientific data, but to also create doubt about the researchers who produce the data and about the science
itself. In addition to attacking legitimate studies, bogus research projects that downp(ay the seriousness
of second-hand smoke have been produced.
Powerful lobbyists and lavrye� have been hired to deflect govemment regulation of second-hand smoke,
and this has been supplemented by .huge contributions to po(itical campaigns. When money and
misinformation haven't worked, the industry has promoted false solutioas to control second-hand�smoke.
Although .evidence shows that ventilation is not an effective solution to the problem of second-hand
smoke, the industry continues to push for this option, even forming indoor air consulting "front groups"
who downplay the risks of second-hand smoke.
A campaign to promote "courtesy of choice" as an alternative to banning smoking in gubtic places has also
heen launched woridwide. This implies that the serious problem of second-hand smoke can be solved
merely by smokers asking for permission before they light up, or by having separate smoking and non-
smoking seetions. Second-hand smoke is thus portrayed as a mere annoyance for non-smokers, rather than
as a health issue. The industry also funds smokers rights' movements to make it look like there is
independent opposirion to smoking bans. People concemed aboat second-hand smoke ar� then branded
as zealots.
What an be done about second-hand smoke?
Govemments�--C.�in regulate and legis[ate smoking bans in publie places, educate people about the dangers
of second-hand smoke, and provide support for those who wish to quit smoking.
Employeis—Can initiate and enforcc smoking bans in workplaces.
Pazents ----Can stop smoking in the house and car, pacticularly azound children, and ask others to do the
same. They can also ensure that ttieir children's day-care, school and after-school progran�s are smoke-
free. Spouses can help their partr�ers to quit smoking.
Individuals--Let family, friends and co-workers know that you do mind if they smoke around you. Work
with your local organizations to initiate aetions on second-hand smoke. Make your voice heard!
Everyone has t�e right ta breatfie clean air unpoliuted by setond-hand smoke!

The risk of death from heart attack is 91 percent higher for non-smoking women who are
regular�_ exposed-to secondhand. and 58 percent higher for women occasionafly
exposed to secondhand smoke (American Heart Association Journal 1997).
Nonsmoking women who live with a spouse who smokes have a 30 percent greater risk of
developing lung cancer (Source: Brownson R., Alavanja M., and Hock E. (1993). "Reliability
of Passive Smoke Exposure Histories in a Case Control History of Lung Cancer," Intemational
Journal of Epidemiology; 22(5):804-808.)
Employees are at risk.
Employees exposed to secondhand smoke on the job are 34 percent more likely to get lung
cancer (U.S.GDC 1986).
At leasf 4.5 mitlion Americans experience great discomfort from secondhand smoke at work
(U.S. CDC 1996).Restaurant and bar workers have three to six times more exposure to
secondhand smoke than other workers (U.S. CDC 1996),
Fooc! service workers, many of whom are under age 18, have a 50 percent higher risk of lung
cancer than the general population (Corsun, Young, Enz. "Should NYC Restaurateurs Lighten
Up?" Hotel and Restaurant Administration Quarte�ly: 1996).
Waitresses, compared to other women, are four times more likely to die from lung cancer and
iwo and a half more likely to die from heart disease (Glantz 1992).
Economic Impact of Going Smoke-Free
Sales tax data, consistently demonstrates that ordinances restricting smoking in restaurants
have no effect on revenues (Glantz 1999).
Over 60 cities and counties with smoke-free restaurant ordinances have been studied for
economic impact. All studies, based on sales tax data, show that there is no negative
economic impact. (Glantr 1999)
The tobacco industry often forms front groups who claim ordinances have a negative
economic impact. Every time this claim has been raised, they are always wrong (Project for a
Tobacco-Free Future 1999).
Scientific studies in North Carolina, Arizona, Cafifomia, Colorado, New York, Massachusetts
and Texas have all shown that ordinances banning smoking have had no neg.ative economic
effect.
Bars and restaurants would likely see an increase in business if they implement smoke-free
policies (Joumal of Public Health Management and Practice 1999).
The National Restaurant Association.polls show that if a restaurant goes smoke-free, 56
percent would eat at the restaurant more frequently, and only 26 percent would eat there less
frequentiy (Tobacco-Free Coalition 1999).
Costs of Secondhand Smoke to Empfoyers

Fire risks and subsequent insurance costs deerease when a business goes smoke-free

Ventilation Doesn't Work
Ventilation systems and designated smoking sections do not pro±ect people from the
dangerous toxins in secondhand smoke (American Society of Heating, Refrigera#ing, and Air
Conditioning Engineers 2000).
Secondhand smoke is more than visible "smoke." Ventilat�on systems arE nct equipped to
filter out the deadly toxins you cannot see or smell (ASHRAE 1999).
Ventilation is a tobacco-industry ploy to protect industry profits (our fact sheet).

comfort and convenience products that do not protect public health (Honeywell letter, June

Secondhand Smoke FactSheet
What is Secondhand Smoke?
Also known as environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) and passive smoking.
Contains more than 50 known carcinogens and 200 known poisons, including ammonia,
formaldehyde, hydrogen cyanide, arsenic, carbon monoxide and benzene (National Cancer
Institute 1999).
Classified as a Group A�carcinogen. There is no safe level of exposure to Group A toxins
(U.S. EPA 1992).
One in four US adults report exposure to secondhand smoke at home or at work (California
EPA 1997).
Health Effecfs of Secondhand Smoke
Secondhand smoke kifls.
Every year, more than 53,000 non-smokers die from exposure to secondhand smoke, making
it the third leading cause of preventable death in the U.S. (National Cancer {nstitute.}
For every eight smokers the tobacco industry kills, it takes one non-smoker with them.
{Glantz, Stan and Parmley, W., "Passive Smoking and Heart Disease: Epidemiology,
Physiology, and Biochemisty," Circulation: 1991; Taylor, A, Johnson, D., and Kazemi, H.
"Environmental Heart Disease and Cardiovascular Disease," Circulation: 1992).
Secondhand smoke causes cancer.
Lung cancer-caused by exposure to secondhand smoke is responsible for an estimated 3,000
deaths per year among nonsmokers in the U.�S. It is a confirmed cause of nasal sinus cancer
in nonsmokers. (National Cancer Institute, Health Effects of Environmental Tobacco Smoke,
December 1999).
Secondhand smoke causes heart disease.
Exposure to secondhand smoke causes between 35,000 and 62,000 coronary heart disease
deaths each year in the United States (National Cancer Institute 1999).
Nonsmokers exposed to secondhand smoke on a regular basis develop hardening of the
a�te�ies 20 percent faster than peopfe not regulariy exposed to secondhand smoke (Journal of
the American Medical Association 1998).
Nonsmokers exposed to secondhand smoke regularly have an 82 percent greater chance of
suffering from a stroke (Tobacco Control [British Medical Joumal] 1999).
Children are at risk.
Children are more vulnerable to the effects of secondhand smoke because of their small
airways.
More than 15 million children and teenagers live in houses where they are exposed to
secondhand smoke every year (U.S. CDC 1996).
Over 40 percent of U.S. children under age 6 live in households where someone smokes
(U.S. CDC 1996).
ln Hennepin County, children in one out of five homes are exposed to secondhand smoke at
home.
Secondhand smoke causes an estimated 1,868 to 2,708 deaths annually in the United States
due to sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) (National Cancer Institute)
26,000 healthy U.S. children develop asthma_every year because of secondhand smoke
(American Lung Assoc�afion 1998).
Every year, between 150,000 and 300,000 children 8 months or younger suffer from lower
respiratory infections (like bronchitis and pneumonia) from breathing secondhand smoke (U.S.
EPA).
Secondhand smoke causes between_ 700,0�0 and 1.6 million visits to the doctor for children
9 8 months and younger for childhood ear infections (U.S. EPA)
Women are at risk.

SMOKING IN PUBLIC PLACES Page 1 of 3
English 105 Sect. KA Evan Saxton-Williams
Smoking in PubZic Places
Whether or not smoking should be allowed in public placc:s has
been debated ever since the introduction of the first non-smoking law.
There have been many reasons for and against smoking that have come
about in the last ten years, including the more recent anti public
smoking laws that have come into effect in businesses, restaurants,
and other public facilities. The problem is that most of these laws
have little or no merit and undermine the personal freedoms of smokers
resulting in political, economic, and social consequences.
In most cases, anti-smoking laws do nothing but take away from one's
civil liberties. That liberty being the right to smoke and do what
one wants to his or her own body and to make informed choices and
decisions. Many anti-smoking activists have tried to use the
constitution as a means of evidence for their anti-public smoking laws
that are infringing upon smokers-'-liberties. One case of infringement
occurred when anti-smokers attempted to interpret the meaning of the
ninth amendment as the right to breathe clean air. Even the court
system rejected this method of thought as legal reasoning for
abandoning smoking in public places.
One reason that smoking should be allowed in public places is because
of the difficulties of making anti-smoking legislature. Along with
the high cost of producing such a law, formulating an anti-smoking
bill would only place more burden on governmental institutions. Any
time government makes a law, there must be time and money spent
determining the regulations and consequences that will be set forth.
Fines, oenalties, and actions against repeaCed offenders would have to
be outlined. Even it restrictions were placed on smokers, who is to
determine how large the fines will be, the non-smokers? The other
concern is who is going to enforce these anti-public smoking laws?
The police force could be used, but they have enough to worry about
and do not need to worry themselves with something as non-eventful as
having a cigarette in a regulated area. Enforcing smoking laws would
be equivalent to trying to enforce littering or jaywalking.
Some say that smoking in public places is harmful to those around them
and to the environment. What smokers and non-smokers alike do not
realize is that these statements are all misleading. The fact is that
a person receives more pollutants from automobile exhaust than from
second hand smoke. Forces Canada found that the EPA estimated "fifty
percent of the total incidents of cancer caused from air toxins in
large cities are attributed to emissions from motor vehieles." Forces
also determined that the amount of carcinogens released into the air
by motor vehicles is equivalent to every person in the United States
smoking 42.5 cigarettes every minute. Even after studies like this,
many legislators and environmental agencies would rather focus on
smoking instead of the more prevalent and dangerous problem of exhaust
emissions. So instead of worrying about whom is,smoking next to you,
worry about your daily commute to work.
If a smoker can not smoke in a public place then where can they
smoke? Many non-smokers are arguing that smokere should just go to the
areas were smoking is permitted, solving a majority of the problems. The
solution is not that easy, in many cases designated smoking areas are
not being constructed and they are often in inconvenient areas. In
some Instances smokers' options have been so limited that smoking
outdoors is a problem. Such is the case for residents in the cities
of Berkeley, California and Sharon, Massachusetts whom have already
http:!/v,�� evan/english10.5.htm1 8/7/O1
SIvIOKING IN PUBLIC PLACES Page 2 of 3
enforced some laws against smoking in public outdoor areas. Some
businesses are now enforcing no smoking laws within their offices
without providing adequate smoker facilities. This is the reason
hordes of smokers are £orced to stand in alleyways, exposed to the
weather, in order to enjoy one of their personal freedoms of smoking.
If regulations about smoking in public places continue, then even
smoking outside will soon become illegal to all smokers. Smokers will
find themselves trapped within their own homes, unable to go out and
enjoy a walk in the park, movie, or dinner out, all because they are
the smoking minority.
It is not only t'he smokers that.will be losing out if the anti-public
smoking laws continue to gain popularity. If these laws are enacted,
than a large majority of smokers will have to leave the sanctioned
public areas in order to smoke. This might mean a trip outdoors or
maybe to a special sanctioned area, an inconvenience in any case.
what public businesses and eompanies do not realize is that during the
time that the smoker is out away from the restaurant, shops, or
workplace, the companies are loosing money. Instead of being inside
the store shopping and spending money, smokers are outside wasting
their valuable shopping time. This inconvenience is especially true
for business employees who have anti-public smoking laws enforced in
their place of work. For every minute an employee spends away £rom
the desk, business owners loose money. If a smoker has to leave his
desk in order. to have a cigarette, then the business is the one that
is loosing out. Time is money.
Many citizens have tried to fight the city councils and businesses but
with little help and halting progress. The tobacco companies seem to
be surviving these attacks on smokers' rights because they have the
power and the money to fight the local, state, and federal government.
The common citizens, those that are severely affected by these laws,
are unable to fight the government with their limited resources.
Smokers are being forced to go along with what the seventy percent of
non-smokers feel is the right choice for both nonsmokers and smo}cers.
The main reason for all of the recent action against smolcing in public
places has to do with passive or second hand smoke. The activist of
these anti smoking laws claim that being in contact with a smoker will
cause you to have a shorter life or develop some sort of inedical
problems. Many anti-smoker groups� even go as far as to say that
second hand smoke is just as bad as smoking an actual cigarette. In
court, these anti-smoker activists use the report by the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) to prove to the public and the courts that
being around someone in a restaurant who is smoking, is going to be
detrimental to your health. What the EPA studies failed to show, was
that in most cases, their studies were over the long-term effeets of a
non-smoker living with a smoker. In the overall argument about
whether or not to allow smoking in public places, the EPA gives little
evidence. While in a restaurant or public park, one may come in
contact with second hand smoke for brief instances, this doesn't mean
that you are doomed to lung cancer or that years have been remov,ed
from your life. The EPA studies are not specific enough for the
public to get a true feeling of the situation on public smoking.
Companies such as Philip Morris are so concerned about the false
information that has been reported that they have involved themselves
in a lawsuit against the EPA.
Smokers are loosing the battle against public smoking, Uzych states
that more than 150 cities since 1990 that have already enacted
non-smoking ordinances. Smokers are being punished because of a habit
that :.hey may have picked up it was cor_sidered fashionable to be
smoking a cigarette. They are being punished for living their lives
the way that they want to. With the ever increasing presence of new
restrictions on smoking in public places the decrease on smokers
freedoms will continue to decline unless the smoking minorities
protest their rights to the governing bodies and businesses.

Tlie Great llebates by Bob Bradley
Question &._�ns«�er
W e ran a cornmentary about some impolite
suy �er's Guide smokers in a restaurant, and it became World War
III. We got cards and letters, and most of the
Market�lace response was totally predictable the non-smokers
loved it and the smokers suggested we move to
Hospitalit�� �obs California. And after a careful study of the great
smoking debate (at least in the eyes of our readers),
James f3eard Dateline the simple conclusion is that this is a complex
Prii�t Sut�scri�tions Problem that won't be solved anytime soon. Don't
hold your breath for peace in the Middle East... or
,e.d��ertisine In.co for any sensible resolution of the tobacco wars.
Contact Us Let's keep in mind that smoking will never become
an illegal activity in the United States. There's
Home Pa e entirel too 'nvolved and it involves
___.._.g_. y much money i
approximately 25% of our population, and most of
them would prefer that we get rid of the Surgeon
General before we even think about outlawing
smoking. Many see the decision to smoke as a basic
right, and perhaps even a guarantee thaYs spelled
out somewhere in the Constitution. They won't take
away our guns, and god knows they'll never take
away our cigarettes.
The issue for our industry becomes the realization
that they might take smoking out of bars and
restaurants, and on a State by State basis, this
concept is already becoming a reality. Everyone
watches California because they already made the
move by first outlawing smoking in bars, and
followed with smoking bans in the restaurants. All
of this is tQO new to intelligently assess inc'.uding
the claim that business actually increased by some
4% after the ban went into effect. And keep in mind
that about 18 percent of the adult population in
California smokes, and by definition, the basic
http://www.restaurantreport.com�F'eatures/ft_smoking2.html 817i O 1
Restaurant�Report On-line Restaurant Smoking Policies Laws Page 2 of 5
outdoor lifestyle of this area has little in common
with places like New York, Boston and
Philadelphia.
The real problem rests �vith our legal community,
and based upon the predictability of their acfions,
smoking in bars and restaurants will probably be
banned everywhere sometime in the very
foreseeable future. A recent study published by the
Joumal of the American Medical Association shows
that California's waitresses die from higher rates of
lung and heart disease than any other female
occupational group. They have four times the
expected lung cancer mortality and 2-1/2 times the
expected heart disease mortality rate. According to
the study, this increased death rate is directly
attributable to having to work day after day in
smoke-filled rooms.
If you can spell the word lawsuit, you have some
idea of the real problem, and it's only just
beginning. The fear becomes that employers who
allow smoking in their establishments may risk
future Workers Compensation claims by continuing
to expase their employees to a known health hazard,
as evidenced by an emptoyee of a Marin County
(Califomia) restaurant and bar that allowed
smoking, who received an$85,000 settlement for
such a claim. The studies will continue to
accumulate conceming the health hazazds of
smoking on employees, and the lawyers will do the
rest.
Far more interesting is the activity in Wisconsin
where restaurants are banning smoking on a
volunteer basis, and the eazly returns suggest that
the eventual ban might even be favorable for the
average restaurant. We present the Wisconsin
information with the warning that whi�e "smoking
can be harmful to your health", the early results and
conclusions of any study can be highly suspect, and
can have little, or nothing to do with your personal
circumstances.
'According to Jack Lohman, founder and chaii�cr:an
of the Wisconsin Initiative on Smoking and Health,
"the facts are clear: if restaurants go smoke free,
they will at least retain their current level of
business, and they will often increase it. Maybe only.

the population are die-hard smokers who would
actually avoid a smoke-free restaurant. Fo� every
smoker a restaurant might lose, they stand to gain
two nonsmokers in return. That's a pretty good
trade, and one that is substantiated by the restaurant
industry's awn polls."
"We estimate that every smoking customer will,
over time, chase away five nonsmoking customers.
Of course, the smokers keep returning and the
nonsmokers do not, so restaurateurs are left with a
false sense of where their majority customer base
really is. The smaller the restaurant, the higher the
price they will pay. Historically, the tobacco
industry has done an excellent job of convincing
restaurant operators that since 25% of the
population are smokers, going smoke-free would
cost them 25% of their business. Clearly enoneous,
but it is easy to see why one would balk at making
such a drastic change."
"Why isn't the restaurant operator equally afraid of
losing the 75% who do not smoke? Because rather
than complain, these follcs just quietly slip away to
cleaner air down the street. Operators see the
retums; they do not see the departures. Fortunately,
increasing numbers of operators aze understanding
the health and financial benefits of being smoke-
free."
"In over 150 U.S. communities, smoke free
ordinances have been implemented without a loss of
restaurant business, and since 1992, the number of
smoke-free restaurants in Wisconsin has grown
from 65 to well over 1100 today. Why would these
restaurants remain smoke free, were it not
profitable? Indeed, most smokers do not quit eating
in their favorite restaurant when it goes smoke free,
they just quit smoking in it.°
Back to our letters... and the following one
provi�ed some sanity in a sea of insanity:
Dear Restaurant Report:
I enjoyed your piece on smoking in our restaurants.
As a non-smoker, I too would like a smoke free
environment. However, can't we have it both ways?
http://wwvi.restaurantreport.comlFeatures/ft_smoking2.html 8/7/01
Restaurant Report On-line Restaurant Smoking PoIicies Laws Page 4 of 5
Flow come we discuss trends in kitchen equipment,
computer equipment, innovation in bar technology,
but not air filtration technology? I believe that if we
spend money on state of the art air-frltration
technology, we can have it both ways. IwouldnY
mind going to a restaurant that allows smoking, if
once I sat down next to a smoker, the smoke went
straight up and not across to me.
I look at it as a marketing advanlage. Maybe you
can poi�:t us all to state of the art, air ftltration
systems being used at the growing number of cigar
bars, as an example of how smoke and dining can
go together.
It's not people that smoke that bother me, it's the
smoke. Lets get rid of the smoke, and not the people
who are our customers.
Sincerely,
Tom Dt�dchik (restaurant owner)
Whez� it comes to smoke in restaurants, it doesn't
get more dramatic than a good (or bad) cigar, so we
paid a visit to a real live cigar bar in downtown
Philadelphia Mahogany on Walnut (1524
Walnut Street in the heart of "Restaurant Row"). It
was suggested that smoke in this establishment
really wasn't a problem, and perhaps we would
discover the secret to making Mr. Dudchik and the
restaurant industry very happy.
The restaurant presented the cigar aroma, which was
totally understandable, but smoke itself was
noticeably absent, and owner Tom Piazza gave us
the good news and the bad news all at the same
time. "We have virtually eliminated the smoke
problem, and to accomplish this, we went with an
industriat concept that absolutely works, but is
comparable to building out an entire kitchen in
our case, a cost in excess of $25,000.°
According to Piazza, "my real objective was to
build a beautiful, and extremely comfortable
restaurant and cockYail lounge where people could

welcome and an important part of our presentation.
But I alsc realized that excessive smoke would
positively kill us. So many people think of us an

extension of a cigar dinner, but these events aze the
worst places to experience a cigar. Everyone is
smoking at the precise same time, and the restaurant
is rarely equipped to properly handle the
ventilation."
"We worked with a company from New�Jersey by
the name of TEC MAR. These people designed a
system that was incorporated into our air
conditioning, and was basically maintenance free. It
was an industrial system that you would find in a
factory as opposed to a restaurant. We looked at all
the standard smoke systems and concluded they
wouldn't work for us, and we knew that the day- to-
day maintenance factor would be a major
consideration. Probably the very best thing you can
do is install a"Hollywood" type wind fan, and blow
the smoke out an open window. Of course, this is
totally impracticable."
So the technology is there, all you have to do is pay
for it, and everybody will be happy. But faced with
the cuzrent climate of anti-smoking fervor and
legislation, how many restaurant and bar owners are
willing to make a major investment in a problem
that the government and the lawyers are handling all
by themselves?

The Great Debates
W hen you list the serious problems facing the
�uestion Ans�r•er restaurant industry, the subject of smoking is right
up there with the big ones. It's a major league
Bu�er's Guide headache, and such a gigantic problem that the best
�tarketntace Way to address it is to pretend it simply doesn't
exist.
Hospitalit�� Jobs
We just had dinner (party of four) in an excellent
James_I�earci Dateline suburban restaurant, and while awaiting a table, we
were escorted to the bar azea that was crowded with
Prii�t Subscriptions people enjoying the incredibly colorful and very
happening bar scene. It was so pleasant that we even
:�,d�� ertising Info talked about having dinner in this more casual
environment. What was absolutely amazing was
Contact tis that not one person was smoking m a bar! Being
Home Page at the restaurant for the first time, I even commented
that maybe this was a non-smoking establishment.
We were shortly escorted to a loft area, which was
basically a small room with about six tables. The
food was great not good —great! And two women
smoking (chain smoking) at a nearby table
unfortunately spoiled what could have been a
perfect dining experience.
I found myself more fascinated than irritated. I
found it fascinating that people can be so blatantly
inconsiderate as we aze talking about a rather
intimate dining area, and one would assume that
even smokers would have more courtesy. However,
I have learned that to expect comir�on courtesy from
a large segment of the American public is an
exercise in total futility. This is a country where
eo le think nothin of throwin trash out of car

windows, blasting radios, and talking incessantly in
movie theaters. You can grow old very quickiy
looking for courtesy.

Are you poisoning your dinner companion?
Perhaps, although not in California.
Smoking is the number one preventable cause of death in America today, with over
430,000 dvin� each vear from tobacco-related causes. And another 53.000 non-smoking,
Americans die annually from inhaling other people's tobacco smoke. Breathing tobacco
smoke can hurt anyone, but it is especially harmful to the elderly, the very young, and
those with existing respiratory problems. Refraining from smoking during pregnancy and
around children will give them a healthier start in life.
So if you're dining out, and you or someone else in the room is smoking, your health and
that of your dinner companion is suffering.
But not here in California, where state law prohibits smoking in restaurants and almost all
other workplaces. In addition, 281 Califomia communities have passed their own local
htt�://www.tool.t-orks.cr�m/bilnfsky/smoking.htm 8/6I01
Secondhand Smoke and Community Laws Page 2 of 3
smoking restrictions. Hundreds of communities in other states have done likewise.
Back_to to�
How (and why) to pass a local smoking law
Local smoking legislation helps make the indoor air safer in your town, but there aze
other benefits as well. Publicity duning the public debate helps educate your community
to the health hazards of secondhand smoke. The process brings people concerned about
health together, and they may continue with other useful projects. And since many
smokers sincerely want to quit, smoking resfictions can provide that additional incentive
to kick the addiction.
People often ask, "Why can't the state or Federal govemmenC deal with this problem?"
Good question. In fact, progress is being made on all levels of government. But the
tobacco industry is extremely active in fighting clean air laws. Their hired lobbyists and
massive campaign contributions are very effective in Congress and state legislatures.
Your local elected officials, on the other hand, are more responsive to what the
community wants.
Each community can enact the laws that its citizens are ready for. One town may be ready
to ban smoking in all workplaces and indoor public places. Another may•deal just with
workplaces. Another may start with a prohibition on smoking in schools and hospitals, or
tobacco advertising near schools. Experience shows that once a community sees that
initial smoking restrictions don't cause problems, better protection for nonsmokers can be
enacted.

Where to get help in passing a smoking law
There are many organizations involved in tobacco control, but one of the most effective
in supporting local legislation is Americans for Nonsmokers' Riehts. With over 22 years
of experience in Califomia and nationwide, ANR has developed a wealth of knowledge
about tobacco legislation, and some helpful materials to get you started.
Here in Marin Countv, California. all twelve of our iocal jurisdictions have enacted strong
smoking laws. In the process, we've learned a lot about doinQ local leeislation. and, if you
can stand our tongue-in-cheek humor, we'd be happy to share it with you.

The single most dangerous tactic used by the tobacco industry to fight local smoking la�vs

is preemption. A state legislator sympathetic to the tobacco folks introduces a weak
statewide smoking law which also prevents localities from adopting anything stronger. Or
a good smoking bill can be hijacked, amended and �veakene:d by the bad guys, sometimes
at the last mmute. Whenever the issue of smoking regulation is before the state
legislature, it must be watched closely. Again, Americans for Nonsmokers' Riehts tracks
these issues closely and can be helpful.

Effecfs of Second-Hand Smoke
Second-hand smoke, the smoke inhaled from other people's cigarettes, pipes and cigazs, causes 53,000
deaths a year, and is the third largest preventable cause of death in the United States, behind regular
smoking and alcohol use.
Second-hand smoke, also called passive smoke, dramatically increases the risk of heart disease and
heart attacks by increasing a person's risk of developing blood clots. Other dangers from inhaiing
second-hand smoke include:
increased risk of lung and other cancers,
breathing difficulties, including asthma attacks,
increased strain on the heart during exercise,
aggravated conditions in those with chronic heart and lung disease, and
health risks to infants and unborn babies like damaging lung tissue.
Cluldren and teenagers are most seriously affected by second-hand smoke sinee developing tissues are
more Iikely to be damaged. Children who live in a smpke-filled environment for several hours a day
are more likely to:
need emergency care for breathing problems,
be hospitalized for respiratory illnesses,
be absent from school due to illness caused by inhaling second-hand smoke,
make frequent trips to the doctor for more serious illnesses like: bronchitis,
pneumonia,
asthma, and
ear infections,
and, start smoking themselves.
Very young children and those born prematurely or at a low birth weight suffer the greatest damage
from second-hand smoke. Children whose mothers were exposed to second-hand smoke during
pregnancy often have:
academic performance difficulties less developed motor skills,
more behavioral problems.
The carcinogens, or cancer-causing agents in se�:ond-hand smoke, are spread everly throughout an
indoor environment. Contrary to popular belief, the carcinogens are just as dangerous to people
inhZiing the smoke from across the ro.em as they are_to those close to the source. In addition, even
though the amount of second-hand snnoke inhaled by a nonsmoker is small compared to the amount
inhaled by a smoker, research indicates that second-hand smoke contains higher concentrations of
some of the carcinogens than found in smoke inhaled and exhaled by the smoker. Therefore, even
though less second-hand smoke is being inhaled it is very dangerous.

Effects of Second-Hand Smoke Page 2 of 2
The only effective way to avoid the negative effects of second-hand smoke is to insist on a smoke-free
environment whenever and wherever possible. If you live or work in an environment where you must
breathe second-hand smoke, you can minimize damage frora exposure by encouraging the smoker to
smoke outdoors and opening windows and doors to keep the area well ventilated.

jDisclaimer:
�EnVironmentat Tobacco Smoke and Lung Cancer
The Environmental Protection Agency firmty maintains that the butk ofi the scientific
evidence demonstrates that secondhand smoke environmental tobacco smoke, or I
"ETS" causes lung cancer and other significant health threats to chiidren and adults.
EPA's report ("Respiratory Health Effects of Passive Smoking: Lung Cancer and Other
Disorders," EPA/600/6-90/006F) was peer-reviewed by 18 eminent, independent
scientists who unanimously endorsed the study's methodology and conclusions. Since
EPA's 1993 report which estimated the risks posed by ETS, numerous independent
health studies have presented an impressive accumulating body of evidence that
,confirms and strengthens the ERA findings. It is widely accepted in the scientific and
',public health communities that secondhand smoke poses significant health risks to
'�,children and adults.
,A U.S. District Court decision has vacated several chapters of the EPA document
!"Respiratory Health Effects of Passive Smoking: Lung Cancer and Other Disorders" that
;served as the basis for EPA's classification of secondhand smoke as a Group A I
Icarcinogen and estimates that ETS causes 3,000 lung cancer deaths in non-smokers
�each year. The ruling was largely based on procedural grounds. EPA is aonealina this
'decision. None of the findings concerning the serious respiratory health effects of
psecondhan smok in children we�e ch allenged.
What is secondhand smoke?
Secondhand smoke is a mixture of the smoke given off by the burning end of
a cigarette, pipe, or cigar; and the smoke exhaled from the lungs of smokers.
This mixture contains more than 4,000 substances, more than 40 of which
are known to cause cancer in humans or animals and many of which are
strong irritants.
Secondhand smoke is also called environmental tobacco smoke (ETS);
exposure to secondhand smoke is called involuntary smoking, or passive
smoking.
Secondhand smoke can cause lung cancer in nonsmokers.
o Secondhand smoke has been classified by the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) as a known cause of lung cancer in humans (Group A
carcinogen).
Passive smoking is estimated by EPA to cause approximately 3,000 lung
cancer deaths in nonsmokers each year.
Secondhand sm�ke is a serious health risk to children.
http://�v�vw.epa.gov/izq/pubs/:tshro.html 8/6/O I
�econdhand Smoke What You Can Do Page 2 of S
The developing lungs of young children are also affected by exposure to
secondhand smoke.
Infants and young children whose parents smoke are among the most
seriously affected by exposure to secondhand smoke, being at increased risk
of lower respiratory tract infections such as pneumonia and bronchitis. EPA
estimates that passive smoking is responsible for tietween 150,000 and
300,000 lower respiratory tract infections in infants and children under 18
months of age annually, resulting in between 7,500 and 15,000
hospitalizations each year.
Children exposed to secondhand smoke are also more likely to have reduced
lung function and symptoms of respiratory irritation like cough, excess
phlegm, and wheeze.
Passive smoking can lead to buildup of fluid in the middle ear, the most
common cause of hospitalization of children for an operation.
Asthmatic children are especially at risk. EPA estimates that exposure to
secondhand smoke increases the number of episodes and severity of
symptoms in hundreds of thousands of asthmatic children. EPA estimates
that between 200,000 and 1,000,000 asthmatic children have their condition
made worse by exposure to secondhand smoke. Passive smoking may also
cause thousands of non-asthmatic children to develop the condition each
year.
Other health implications.
Exposure to secondhand smoke causes irritation of the eye, nose, and throat
Passive smoking can also irritate the lungs, leading to coughing, excess
phlegrn, chest discomfort, and reduced lung function.
Secondhand smoke may affect the cardiovascufar system, and some studies
have linked exposure to secondhand smoke with the onset of chest pain.
PROTECTING YOUR HEALTH
WHAT YOU CAN DO TO REDUCE THE HEALTH RISKS OF PASSIVE SMOKING
In The Home:
Don't smoke in your house or permit others fo do so.
If a family member insists on smoking indoors, increase.ventilation in the
area where smoking takes place. Open windows or use exhaust fans.
Do not smoke if children are present, particufariy infants and toddlers. They
are par!icularly susceptible to the effects of passive smoking.
Don't allow baby-sitters or others who work in your home to smoke in the
house or near your children.
Where Children Spend Time:
EPA recommends th2t every organization dealing with children have a smoking
policy that effectively protects chifdren from exposure to environmental tobacco
smoke.
Find out about the smoking policies of the day care providers, pre-schools,
schools, and other care-givers for your children.
Help other parents understand the serious health risks to children from
secondhand smoke. Work with parenUteacher associations, your school
r

Secondhand Smoke What You Can Do Page 3 of 5
board and schooi administrators, community leaders, and other concerned
citizens to make your chifd's environment smoke free.
(n The Workplace:
EPA recommends that every company have a smoking policy that effectively
protects nonsmokers from involuntary exposure to tobacco smoke. Many
businesses and organizations aiready have smoking policies in place but these
policies vary in their effectiveness.
If your company does not have a smoking policy that effectively controls
secondha�d smoke, work with appropriate management and labor
organizations to establish one.
Simp{y separating smokers and nonsmokers within the same area, such as a
cafeteria, may reduce exposure, but nonsmokers will still be exposed to re-
circulated smoke or sm�ke drifting into nonsmoking areas.
Prohibiting smoking indoors or limiting smoking to rooms that have been
speciaBy designed to prevent smoke from escaping to other area of the
building are two options that will effectively protect nonsmakers. The costs
associated with establish+ng properly designated smoking rooms vary from
building to building, and are likely to be greater lhan simply eliminating
smoking entirely.
If smoking is permitted indoors, it should be in a room that meets several
conditions:
Air from the smoking room should be directly exhausted to the outside by an
exhaust fan. Air from the smoking room should not be re-circulated to other
parts of the building. More air should be exhausted from the room than is
supplied to it to make sure ETS doesn't drift to surrounding spaces.
The ventilation system should provide the smoking room with 60 cubic feet
per minute (CFM) of supply air per smoker. This air is often supplied by air
traRSferred from other parts of the building, such as corridors.
Nonsmokers should not have to use the smoking room for any purpose. It
should be located in a non-work area where no one, as part of his or her work
responsibilities, is required to enter.
Employer-supported smoking cessation programs are an important part of
any smoking policy. Approximately 25 percent of American adults still smoke.
Many smokers would like to quit, but cigarette smoking is physically and
psychologically addictive, and quitting is not easy. While working in a smoke-
free building may encourage some smokers to quit, a goal of any smoking
policy should be to actively support smokers who want to kick the habit.
If there are designated outdoor smoking areas, smoking should not be
permitted right outside the doors {or near building ventilation system air
intakes) where nonsmokers may have 10 pass through smoke from smokers
congregated near doorvvays. Some employers have set up outdoor areas
equipped with shelters and ashtrays to accommodate smokers.
In Restaurants and Bars:
Know the faw conceming smoking in your community. Some communities
have banned smoking in places such as restaurants entirely. Others require
separate smoking areas in restaurants, although most rely on simply
separating smokers and nonsmokers within the same space, which may
reduce but not e(iminate involuntary exposure to ETS.
If smoking is permitted, placement of smoking areas should be determined
with some knowledge of the ve�tilation characteristics of the space to
hrtp://w�vw.epa.gov/iaq/pubs/etsbro.html 8/6/O 1
S�econdhand Smoke What You Can Do Page 4 of 5
minimize nonsmoker exposure. For example, nonsmoking areas should be
near air suppiy ducts while smoking areas should be near retum registers or
exhausts.
Ask to be seated in nonsmoking areas as far from smokers as possible.
If your community does not have a smoking controi ordinance, urge that one
be enacted. If your local ordinances are not sufficiently protective, urge your
local government o�c+als to take action.
Few restrictions have been imposed in bars where drinking and smoking
seem to go together. In the absence of state or local laws restricting smoking
in bars, encourage the proprietor to consider his or her nonsmoking clientele,
and frequent places that do so.
In Other Indoor Spaces:
Does your state or community have laws addressing smoking in public spaces?
Many states have laws prohibiting smoking in public facilities such as schools,
hospitals, airports, bus terminals, and other public buildings. Know the iaw. l'ake
advantage of laws designed to protect you. Federal laws now prohibit smoking on all
airline flights of six hours or less within the U.S. and on all interstate bus travel.
A Special Message For Smokers:
This is a difficult time to be a smoker. As the public becomes more aware that
smoking is not only a hazard to you but also to others, nonsmokers are becoming
more outspoken, and smokers are finding themselves a beleaguered group.
If you choose to smoke, here are some things you can do to help protect the people
close to you:
Don't smoke around children. Their lungs are very susceptible to smoke. If
you are expecting a child, quit smoking.
Take an active role in the development of your company's smoking policy.
Encourage the offering of smoking cessation programs for those who want
them.
Keep your home smoke free. Nonsmokers can get lung cancer from
exposure to your smoke. Because smoke lingers in the air, people may be
exposed even if they are not present while you smoke. If you must smoke
inside, limit smoking to a room where you can open windows for cross-
ventitation. Be sure fhe room in which you smoke has a working smoke
detector to lessen the risk of fire.
Test your home for radon. Radon contamination in combination with smoking
is a much greater health risk than either one individually.
Don't smoke in an automobile with the windows closed if passengers are
present. The high concentration of smoke in a smatl, closed compartment
substantially increases the exposure of other passengers.
More fhan fwo million people quit smoking every year, most of fhem on their
own, wifhout fhe aid of a program or medication. lf you wanf fo quit smoking,
assistance is avai/ab(e. Smokrng cessafion programs can help. Your employer
may affer programs, or ask your doctor for advice.

concems. Will the law stifle business? Who will handle
enforcement? Where can I smoke?
Feed6a�k Bllt b8 ond Duluth's borders la
co�ta�c �5 Y wyers and advocates say
the city's law could set a cultural and legal precedent for
other cities, which may be poised to pursue similar laws,
but unwilling to be among the first to do so.
Already, a handful of cities such as Shakopee, Little
Falls and Mound have begun to publicly contemplate
the switch. In February, Moose Lake became
Minnesota's first city to pass a smoke-free restaurant
law, just a month after Crookston's 14 restaurants
voluntarily made the switch Jan. l.
But Duluth's proposed ordinance is unique because of
the city's size and its far reach: Not only would it curb
smoking in restaurants, but bowIing alleys, pool halls
and those hybrid bar-restaurants that serve to children
under the age of 18.
Some, like Jeremy Hanson of Minnesota Smoke Free
Coatition, see a victory as both a policy and public
relations coup one that sends a cleaz message about a
growing public intolerance for unhealthy secondhand
smoke.
Others, like Peter Vogel, city attorney for Little Falls,
see the potential for a lawsuit in Duluth's proposed
ordinance a legal challenge that may make or break
future efforts to pass municipal smoking bans.
Curious activists around the state also see a potential
blueprint for success in Duluth's grassroots efforts, one
that may help them land a share of Minnesota's landmark
tobacco settlement in their communities.
Curbing youth exposure to cigarette smoking made a
top-five list for a$590 million fund earmarked for
tobacco prevention, a share of the Health Depaztment's
spoils from Minnesota's $6.1 billion landmark settlement
with the tobacco industry.
Adult smokers "model" cigarettes for teenagers, said
Vlary Sheehan, director of the Minnesota Department of
Health's Tobacco Endowment Implementation. "Kids

smoke, she said. Eliminating smoking sections is one
way to cut down on the number of adults children see
smoking.
Success in the Midwest hinges on the same factor that
won California activists their stunning, if gradual,
victory, explains Anne Klink, who worked as an
organizer for California Healthy Cities in the early
1990s.
4Changing people's minds.
1Convincing the public that secondhand smoke is not
just an annoyance but a health threat as well isn't simple,
she said. Klink calls it a"big shift".
It was Lodi, a mid-sized city in Califomia's wine
country, that passed the state's first smoking ban.
Lodi's move tapped a vein of health-conscious but
reticent activists, Klink said. "After Lodi it was like a
tsunami, like a wave.°
"Whether or nat a tsunami could happen like that in
Minnesota I don't see why it couldn't happen."
Randy Kirkendall, manager of the Minnesota
Department of Health's Tobacco Prevention and Control
Section, sees evidence of a slight shift in public
tolerance for secondhand smoke in Duluth's proposed
ban. Just how much? He isn't sure. But "It represents a
social and environmental change," he said.
Kirkendall cites Califomia, Massachusetts and Oregon
as a reason for optimism. A handful of pioneering cities
generated a"domino effect," in each of those states, he
said, although neither Massachusetts nor Oregon have a
statewide ban on the practice, yet.
But the domino won't fall in Little Falls, Minn., until city
officials see a municipal smoking ban tested in the
courts, said Little Fall's city attorney Vogel.
Passing the law is only one step, he said. Withstanding a
1Pgal challenge is another.
"Cities can't do everything," Vogel said. Existing state
and federal laws limit cities' legal authority, he
explained.
http:/!www.duluthnews.com/docs/smoke/smoke0430.htm 8/7/01
�,Duluth a harbinger of a smoke-free Minnesota? Page 4 of 5
So can a city ban smoking without violating Minnesota's
1975 Clean Indoor Air Act?
"I'd be real interested in the first ordinance to be taken
to court," he said. "T'hat's where the rubber is going to
hit the road.
"Until you get that court decision, all you have is an
opinion."
Take Marquette, Mich. The city lost a legal challenge to
its 1997 ordinance prohibiting smoking in restaurants
after a judge ruled such a measure fell outside the city's
jurisdiction. Existing Michigan statute overruled the
city's law.
In January 1999, a circuit court judge struck down the
city's law that eliminated smoking sections in
restaurants.
Little Falls is willing to wait and see, Vogel said, And
Duluth may provide the answer.
"I don't think that there is any question that there aze
going to be any challenges to this," Vogel said. "It is
going to be significant additional limitation on the ability
of people to smoke."
The increased scrutiny hasn't gone unnoticed. "We're
very conscious of that," said Greg Gilbert, city council
president and co-sponsor of Duluth's law.
4Very conscious.
lIntense interest in the smoking ban recently landed
Gilbert in unfamiliaz territory.
He took his first call from a paid lobbyist, a St. Paul-
based lawyer and former politician who now represents
licensed beverage retailers across Minnesota who oppose
Duluth's ban.
"I've never been contacted by a paid lobbyist," Gilbert
said. "I don't quite lrnow what I do."

ARTICLE VII. Smoking in Public Piaces.
Section 28-62. Findings of fact and statement of purpose.
(a) The Duluth City Council finds the following facts to exist:
(1) Tobacco smoke is a major contributor to indoor air pollution, and breathing
second hand smoke is a cause of disease, including lung cancer, in nonsmokers. At
special risk are children, elderly people, individuats with cardiovascular disease, and
individuals with impaired respiratory function, including asthmatics and thosewith
obstructive airway disease. Many of these individuals cannot go into public places
with second-hand smoke due to their respiratory or al{ergenic handicap; and
(2) Health hazards induced by breathing second-hand smoke include, but are not
limited to, lung cancer, hea�t disease, respiratory infection and decreased
respiratory function; and
(3) The simple separation of smokers and no�smokers within the same air space
may reduce, but does not eliminate, the exposure of nonsmokers to environmental
tobacco smoke for which there is no known safe levef of exposure;
(4) Consideration should be given to businesses who will experience undue
economic hardship as a result of legislation prohibiting smoking in public places.

Invited to speak were physicians, the American Lung
Association and managers and owners from some of
Duluth's restaurants, hotels and bowlin� centers.

internist who works with smokers at the Mayo Clinic in
a Rochester. He told councilors the effects of smoking and
secon3hand smoke are abundantly clear.
I s�fo or p�o�� a���a �o Hurt, who was an expert in the state's tobacco lawsuit,
said there aze about 50 known carcinogens in cigarette
smoke. He also said those carcinogens affect
nonsmokers.

problems, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, low birth
weight and emphysema, along with other illnesses.
Hurt cited a 1993 study that found that people who work
in restaurants that allow smoking are 1.6 times to 2 times
more likely to contract lung cancer than those who work
in office buildirigs. And those who work in bars aze 4 to
6 times more likely to contract lung cancer than those in
office buildings.
"This is a matter of health," Hurt said. "If you have
environmental tobacco smoke in your environment, you
are being exposed to carcinogens. I know of no safe
level for such a dangerous particle."
Councilor Russ Stewart asked about different exposures
to smoke for people who live with a smoker, those who
work in a bar and those who might frequent a restaurant
and sit in the nonsmoking section.
"Certainly the more exposure, the more the risk," Hurt
said.
Councilor Gary Eckenberg asked about using ventilation
systems to evacuate smoke.
"I do not know of any way to rid a room of all
environmental tobacco smoke where there is smoking,°
Hurt said.
Brian Daugherty, president of the Canal Park Business
Association, told councilors that the area's business
owners are hoping for a"common ground.°
He also said while he could not put an estimate on
revenues that might be lost as a result of such a ban, he
did say there is "definitely a risk" of businesses losing
money.
"This issue came upon us fast, and it's very divisive,"
Daugherty said. "I would hope that we could slow this
down and 3ook at the law already provided for us."
Daugherty urged a possible modification of Minnesota's

Clean Indoor Air Act, including perhaps separating
smoking areas from nonsmoking areas with a wall. He
also questioned the motivation behind the proposed ban.
"I know these resolutions aze noble, but I don't know if
it's a response from your constituents saying, hey, we've
got to clean up the air in the restaurants i�n this city," he
said.
The way the ordinance is written, it would prohibit
smoking in restaurants, but also in places that serve
liquor and have seating for 50 or more and a limited
food service license. By that definition, the ordinance
would affect every bar in the city but three.
Colin Minehart, a bar and restaurant owner from Albert
Lea and president of the Minnesota Licensed Beverage
Association, said it's easy to lose sight of the economic
problems a smoking ban could pose to Duluth
businesses.
"Businesses in Califomia, after the smoking ban, lost 26
percent of their business," Minehart said. "You take
away 15 percent of my business, I am out of business
that's my profit margin."
Minehart said there are air filtering technologies that
would allow smokers and nonsmokers to caexist. Some
of those cleaners cost roughly $2,000 per 1,000 square
foot.
Kay Biga, owner of the Duluth Grill and an admitted
"rabid nonsmoker" said this particular ordinance would
be unfair because it discriminates against her restaurant
because she does not serve alcohoL
Biga said the council should allow business owners to
adopt the ban voluntarily. Customers can chose to go to
smoke-free restaurants if they like, she added.
"I'm very concerned (smoking customers) aze going to
go elsewhere," she said. "I can't tell you how difficult it
would be for me to stand at the door and tell people we
can't accommodate them when we have a whole
restaurant full of empty tables. It's a devastating
thought.°
Paul Goeb of Stadium Lanes said he's already getting a
wr�iff of lost business due to the proposed smoking ban.

said they were going to Cloquet."

Restaur-ant Smoking Bans Do
Not Hurt Tourism
Smoking bans in restaurants do not hurt tourism, and may actually increase business,
according lo a new study by researchers at the University of California, San Francisco.
The study, published in the JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION
(JAMA), examined hotel revenues, comparing figures before a�d after smoking bans were
enacted, in three states and six cities.
The researchers looked at hotel revenue in Caiifomia, Utah and Vertnont, and the ciGes of
New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Mesa and Fiagstaff, AZ, and Boulder, CO. In each
location, the tobacco industry and opponents of the bans claimed that tourism would suffer
as a result of the restaurant smoking bans.
Notel revenue actuafly jumped in half of the IocaGons after the bans were enacted. "Before
many of these laws were passed, there were very spe�c predictions of catastrophe
voiced all over the counVy by the tobacco industry and their toadies:' said Stan Glantz, the
UCSF professor who conducted the sWdy. "Those dire wami�gs simply were not true
The study aiso shows that intemational tourism rose in Califomia and New York City.
Thomas Humber, presfdent of the Natlonal Smokers Alliance (NSA), said the study is "an
advocacy pfece masquereding as research' and that it used "too broad an ax, too broad a
methodology to understand what is going on in very specific circumstances
Glantz argues that the study shows that the dire predictions of the industry and its front
groups were unfounded. "At some point people are going to stop beiieving the industry
since every claim the�ve made about smoking laws has been proven wrong Glan� said.
Giantz adds further that the main critiasm raised by the tobacco industry through the
NSA is that the only reason they found increasing tourism revenues is that business was
going up anyvray. Glan� provides two responses to this:
1. They controlled for the health of ihe underiying economy and the tourist economy in
particular.
2. The criticism begs the question: The industry claimed that the ordinances would make
tourism go DOWN. It never did. They are now argui�g about whether the ordinances
affected how fast tourism was going up.

Classified Ads (population 7,300) turned back a determined siege
s��e �^�,Px from various anti-tobacco groups wielding federal
funds and proceeds from Minnesota's tobacco
settlement.
On Jan. 23, Little Falls voters surprised many by
rejecting a ban on smoking in the town's restaurants.
The City Council had enacted the ban last fail. The
18-vote margin in the repeal referendum was as thin
as a wisp of smoke.
The struggle that for months roiled the central
Minnesota community was the latest firefight in a
war being waged across the state against smokers
and restaurateurs who wish to serve them. Last year,
officials in Moose Lake and Duluth enacted new
restrictions on restaurant smoking. Smoking bans
have been pushed in at least half a dozen other
towns.
There's precious little evidence that such heavy-
handed government intervention is necessary.
Market forces are responding to growing demand
for smoke-free environments. According to Tom
Day, communications director for Hospitality
Minnesota, a restaurant trade group, the average

Minnesota restaurant devotes 60 percent of its
tables to nonsmoking sections double the
percentage required by law while 25 percent of alI
restaurants are entirely smokeless.
Government smoking bans that supplant the free
choices of business owners and customers aze being
pressed by Minnesota's increasingly well-�rmed
anti-tobacco armies. Something called the Project
for a Tobacco-Free Future launched the effort in
Little Falls, hiring a local project leader and
pressuring the City Council for the new policy. TFF
is a"research" project, according to its director, at
the University of Minnesota's School of Public
Health. Funded by the federal National Cancer
Institute, the project has a stated goal of reducing
the social availability and acceptability of smoking.
Numerous other advocacy groups, many with
interlocking leadership, have recently received
sizable grants to promote smoking restrictions
with the money coming out of the proceeds of
Minnesota's tobacco settlement. Such grants have
come in some cases from the Minnesota
Department of Health's anti-smoking endowment;
in others, from health insurer Blue Cross and Blue
Shield, the state's co-plaintiff in the tobacco Iawsuit;
and especially from the Minnesota Partnership for
Action Against Tobacco, a private nonprofit created
in the settlement and given $202 million to fight
smoking.
The Minnesota Smoke-Free Coalition, which
received some $b00,000 from MPAAT last year "to
eliminate exposure to secondhand smoke," got
involved in the late stages of the Little Falls
campaign. A spokesperson acknowledges that
settlement money was used to develop and fund
advertising promoting the ban.
Yet, in Little Falls, this anti-smoking war machine,
with its newspaper and broadcast ads, phone banks
and lawn sigr.s, was upended by a few stubborn
local residents. Led by bartender Cindy Poppen,
opponents mour,ted a petition drive last fall that
forced a referendum on the issue. Paying for signs
and reminder cards out af their own pockets, the
ban opponents prevailed, Poppen says, because they
convinced people in Little Falls that the real issue

Stubborn bunch defends choice, upends Little Fa11s smoking ban (1/31/2001) Page 3 of 4
was "freedom of choice.°
Ban advocates, meanwhile, charged that Poppen
and her allies were backed by the tobacco industry.
Twin Cities tobacco lobbyist Tom Briant says he
spoke to Poppen and provided her with some
newspaper clippings and a sample alternative
ordinance. But he says she refused any other help.
On Jan. 8, the Morrison County Record published a
strongly worded editorial insisting "residents of
Little Falls deserve better" than "innuendo and
supposition," alleging tobacco industry influence
behind local opposition to the ban. Its own
investigation, the paper reported, found "no
plausible connection." It noted the role of outside
money was clear in the anti-smoking effort.
No one who has -followed Minnesota's tobacco wars
for long will be surprised to hear of these
allegations. For years, anti-smoking advocates have
routinely accused anyone who disagreed with them
of being a dupe or an agent of "Big Tobacco."
It seems those tactics may have backfired in Little
Falls.
Fact is, notwithstanding the bans passed in Moose
Lake and Duluth, the war on Minnesota smokers is
not producing easy conquest. Proposed smoking
bans have been rejected or withdrawn in recent
months in Grand Rapids, Maple Grove, Shakopee,
Faribault, St. Cloud and New Prague.
But it's early. Anti-smoking advocates have a
mountain of public money at their disposal and a
sincere zeal far their cause. The Cindy Poppens of
Minnesota had best be prepared for a long twilight
struggle.
For Minnesota taxpayers as a whole, the question is
whether this campaign to strong-arm small towns
and impose srnoking bans on Main Street cafes is
the kind of priceless public benefit they were

Smoking Ban Sanned
Minneapolis In a special election held January 23which drew more voters than the presidential
election, citizens of Little Falls, MN rejected a restaurant smoking ban passed by the city council tast
October but put on hold until now due to a wide protest.
As Archie Anderson, president of Forces Minnesota, commented, "This gives the lie to anti-tobacco
claims that `the people' want such bans. The American Lung Association has $369,000 in grant
money available for efforts on such bans. Hard telling ho�v much additional money might be anted up
by other agencies. The anti tobacco cartel has all the wealth these days, what with the state settlement
plus all the money they reap from cigarette taxes. It runs into billions.°
On the other hand the opposition, headed by Cindy Poppen, Bill Wieczorek and Sandy Kestner had a
total budget of only $29.00 available, yet were able to collect more than enough signatures to force the
ordinance to an open vote.
Ban supporters charged that the effort to oppose the ban «�as made by "Big Tobacco mercenaries,"
their standard claim whenever they are opposed. However, an investigation by the Morrison County
Record, the local newspapez, found no basis for the charge.
On the other hand, Anderson pointed out, "The city council of Moose Lake was offered what
amounted to a$10 to 20,000 bribe to pass a similar ban there." (Moose Lake was the first Minnesota
to�vn to pass such a smoking ban. D.uluth was the second and Little Falls would have been the third.)
The Little Falls defeat should put a crimp in anti-tobacco's plan to get bans passed in a few more
cities and then try to get the Minnesota legislature to install a state-wide smoking ban.
Thus the Little Falls outcome signifies a victory for democratic freedom and self-determination and
may represent a turning point in the prohibitionist's strategy to go whole hog throughout the state.

dangers of secondary smoke.

54 from lung cancer.
"I watched him die a hoirible death," Boyle said. "I
need not be reminded of the suffering associated
with smoking and the ef�'ects of secondary smoke."
Boyle, a non-smoker, said his views have also been
affected by a personal health crisis.
"Nine years ago, they found a spot on my lung,"
Boyle said. `Before I was operated on, they told me
there was an 80 percent chance it was matignant.

"IYs time we revisit Wisconsin's Clean Air Act,"
Boyle said. "We need to provide cleaner air to
people subjected to secondary smoke in places such
as larger restaurants and bars."
Small estabIishrnents would be exempt because of
the nature of comer bars and diners, Boyle said.
"The owners of these small establishments usually
run the place themselves and have no employees,"
Boyle said. "They know the risks, and can make
those decisions for themselves.
"But, in larger businesses, the employees canit make
those decisions," he said.
"The only recourse the have is to quit, and that's not
an option for many workers."
