Laurel OKs first reading of smoke-free ordinance

Council also sets CAO residency

By Eloria Newell James, community@leadercall.com

During Tuesday’s meeting, officials agreed, that this is not the first time this matter has been proposed.

Carmichael said he supported the order requiring the CAO to be a city resident because of citizens’ concerns.

“It’s not personal,” Carmichael said. “It’s what the people in the community have asked for.”

Mack said he would have liked for the ordinance to have a more supportive vote, but would wait until the Personnel Committee meeting later this week to discuss the matter more.

Also Tuesday, residents told the council about health concerns, the ongoing issue concerning garbage collections, and the city’s proposed increases in water and sewer rates.
