La Mirada council to study ban on smoking in city parks and facilities

LA MIRADA    City council will consider a ban on smoking in city parks at its monthly study session next Tuesday.

The proposed ordinance was requested by the Community Services Commission and includes bans on vaping, electronic cigarettes, and marijuana use at city parks and facilities.

The county already has a similar ordinance in place and currently bans smoking at the county owned Regional Park.

If approved the ordinance would be enforced by both sheriff's deputies and city public safety officers with violators being subject to a non-criminal administrative citation carrying a fine of $100 for the first offence.

A public hearing at a future date would be held before the ordinance could be enacted.
