CITY CODE TITLED “REGULATION OF RETAIL TOBACCO SALES,”
AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO NEGOTIATE AND EXECUTE
AN AGREEMENT WITH THE COUNTY FOR COMPLIANCE
MONITORING AND ENFORCEMENT
BACKGROUND: The City Council will consider an ordinance that proposes adding Chapter 6-20 to the Santa Rosa City Code titled “Regulation of Retail Tobacco Sales” requiring all tobacco retailers to obtain a license and comply with enhanced regulations associated with tobacco sales, in particular, those targeting sales to youth.

If adopted, the ordinance will impose a license fee on retailers selling tobacco products within the City limits. Staff will return to Council with a resolution to impose any such fees.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the City Manager’s Office that the Council: 1) hold a public hearing to discuss regulation of retail tobacco sales; 2) introduce an ordinance adding Chapter 6-20 to the Santa Rosa City Code titled “Regulation of Retail Tobacco Sales”; and 3) by motion, authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute an agreement with the County of Sonoma for compliance monitoring and enforcement.
