Item 36 was a proposed Ordinance to regulate the use of tobacco products by minors; and Item 37 was a proposed Ordinance to establish an occupational tax for businesses that sell tobacco products. There was a lengthy discussion on the two Ordinances from 6:20 o'clock P.M. to 9:05 o'clock P.M. during which City Attorney Tom Carpenter explained the provisions of the two Ordinances and the amendments proposed by Board Members and by the Task Force. (Director Wilson enrolled at 6:20 o'clock P.M.) Mr. Carpenter and City Manager Charles Nickerson responded to questions by Board Members. There were several speakers on the tobacco issues. Mr. Mike Coulson, President of Coulson Oil, which owns and operates three Shell Super Stop Convenience Stores in Little Rock, was not in favor of selling tobacco products to minors, but urged the Board to reduce the license fee from $100 to $50 and stated that self -serve displays are very important financially to the businesses. Mr. John Miller, owner- operator of six (6) Harvest Food stores in Little Rock, also was not in favor of selling tobacco products to minors, but stated the displays need to be 18 -20 feet from the manager in conventional stores, and asked the Board to discuss these issues with the retailers. Harvest Foods Stores have some tobacco products under lock and key but not all. Mr. Al Upton, partner with John Miller in the Harvest Foods Stores, said there needs to be a penalty for the employee and the purchaser, not just the store manager or owner, and there should be a hearing on suspension of licenses to sell tobacco products. Speaking in support of the tobacco ordinances were Stacey Stoll and Joy Rockenbach, representing the Arkansas Department of Health Tobacco Control Office, Ms. Ferris Garrison and two young ladies Clair Nelson and Amanda Abrams, volunteers representing Arkansans for Drug -Free Youth, Dr. Larry Miller, psychiatrist and medical director of Arkansas State Hospital, Dr. Craig Stotts, doctor of public health, Dr. Gary Wheeler, pediatric physician at Children's Hospital, Teresa Conner, representing the American Lung Association (Arkansas Affiliate) and Don Roberts, cessation counselor and volunteer for American Lung Association. Mr. Merle Haubein, director of the Retail Grocers Association, responded to questions. Ms. Stoll said state and federal law prohibits the sale of tobacco products to minors and part of her job is to monitor the merchant compliance with the laws. She and a 14 year old young man visited stores in Little Rock where he attempted to buy tobacco products and did so in seven of the 29 stores visited. Mrs. Rockenbach said fines are laid out but there is no enforcement clause. 4 Minutes June 17, 1997 755 The State is mandated under federal law to reduce the sale of tobacco products to minors to no more than a 20% sale rate. Ms. Garrison said the mission of her organization is to educate and motivate Arkansas' youth, families, and communities in the development of healthy drug -free youth. Clair Nelson and Amanda Abrams asked the Board to support "Not Our Town, Not Our Kids ". Dr. Miller said the key is prevention and education; set the proper tone by giving guidance and support. Dr. Stotts urged a ban on vending machines. Following the lengthy discussion, the proposed Ordinance (Item 36) was introduced, with the title being: AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND CHAPTER 14 OF THE LITTLE ROCK CODE TO ADD REGULATIONS OF THE USE OF TOBACCO PRODUCTS BY MINORS; DECLARING AN EMERGENCY; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES; (Note: The first reading of the two companion Ordinances occurred on May 27, 1997, and the second reading scheduled for June 3, 1997 was deferred until June 17, 1997.

The motion was seconded by Director Adcock and adopted by the following roll call vote: Ayes - Directors Hinton, Cazort, Wyrick, Kumpuris, Adcock and Mayor Dailey - total 6; Noes - Directors Wilson, Keck, Joyce, and Kelly - total 4; Absent - Director Hodges - total 1.

The motion was seconded by Director Adcock, and unanimously adopted. (Director Wilson's motion that all tobacco products be locked up died for lack of a second.) There was a motion by Director Cazort that minors convicted of purchasing or procuring tobacco products would be subjected to mandatory enrollment in a smoking education or cessation class for the first offense, and participation in up to forty (40) hours of community service for a second or subsequent offense within twenty -four (24) months. (The option to pay a fine or do community service for the third offense was deleted from the motion, by a subsequent motion and second by Directors Adcock and Joyce, respectively.)

Director Wilson seconded the motion. Mr. Carpenter suggested that a new Ordinance dealing with fines, enforcement, and treatment be considered at the next meeting. Therefore, Director Kelly withdrew his motion. Director Adcock moved to remove the provision for immediate seizure of the license to sell tobacco products (Subsection E(1).) The motion was seconded by Director Cazort and unanimously adopted. There being no further amendments, the Ordinance, as amended, was left on the calendar for third reading on July 1, 1997.
