COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT ITEM NUMBER:
FROM: Ren Hampian, Assistant City Administrative Officer
Prepared By: Deb Hossli, Administrative Analystl
SUBJECT: Request to accept a $20,000 grant from the California
Healthy Cities Project to analyze the impact of the Smoking
Ordinance on the business community (particularly bars and
restaurants) and adopt a resolution supporting the goals of the
California Healthy Cities Project
CAO RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a resolution supporting the goals of the
California Healthy Cities Project and authorize the City
Administrative Officer to execute a contract with the California
Healthy Cities Project
DISCUSSION:
Staff recently received notification from the California Healthy
Cities Project that the City has received a $20, 000 grant to
analyze the impact of the Smoking Ordinance on our business
community. As the Council is well aware, the City' s Smoking
Ordinance remains the strongest in the United States. The City
regularly receives calls from other municipalities throughout the
nation requesting information on our Ordinance, with most commonly
asked questions relating to economic impact. Based on the success
of the implementation process, staff is confident that a study of
this nature will confirm that the Smoking Ordinance has not had a
significant impact on our business community. Conducting a formal
economic analysis, however, will provide the City with conclusive
evidence of this. This type of information will greatly aid other
municipalities attempts to enact more comprehensive smoking
ordinances.
In requesting the funds, staff committed to creating a partnership
between the City, Cal Poly, and the Chamber of Commerce to carry
out the project. This approach will allow the City to keep the
costs of the study to a minimum, take advantage of an under-
utilized community resource (Cal Poly faculty and students) , and
provide Cal Poly students with practical experience by having them
conduct the analysis. In addition, Chamber involvement in study
design and implementation will help to insure business community
acceptance of the results.
With respect to study design, it would be staff's intention to use
a combination of strategies ranging from a review of historical
trends in sales tax receipts (for San Luis Obispo and throughout
the State) to interviewing key business people or randomly polling
citizens. Final project design and implementation will be left to
the partnership, with staff providing the Council with periodic
progress reports.
