2. Subject: Discuss policy options to prevent youth access to tobacco products, including
flavored tobacco products, and to reduce the density of tobacco retailers.
Recommended Action: Recommend that Council adopt the proposed tobacco policies to
prevent youth access to tobacco products.
Ms. Nomura gave a presentation on tobacco and a draft policy of preventing youth access
to tobacco products. The businesses that are located around schools have all been contacted
and are aware of the new policies which include a $425.00 yearly permit fee. Ms. Zeller
shared that the government does not set an amount of how much tobacco inventory can be
held on hand at any given time.
The teen commission has requested a 1500 foot buffer for any new retailer to be opened
around a school zone. At the current time the schools have been very supported of this
proposal.
Under this draft city policy, if a retailer is caught selling tobacco to an under aged person
they will be fined for a 30 day period. If they are caught again they can lose their permit to
sell tobacco.
After a discussion amongst the commission, Commissioner Huang explained that the city
could fund the program ($10,000) without requiring business owners to pay the $425
annual permit fee as businesses are already paying a fee to the state. He explained that the
small business owners would be affected the most.
Commissioner Sahai motioned to recommend that Council adopt the proposed tobacco
policies to prevent youth access to tobacco products. Commissioner Chao seconded the
motion; Ayes: McCoy, Chao, Sahai, Nellore. Noes: None. Abstain: Huang. Absent: None
