indoor ordinance

 

Last night by a vote of 5-0 the Golden Valley City Council passed
Minnesota's most comprehensive ordinance to date.  Golden Valley is a
suburb of Minneapolis and is located within Hennepin County (who passed
a less restrictive ordinance last week).  The ordinance will go into
effect on March 31, 2005 and it covers all work places, 100% patios, all
parks (including the municipal golf course), and 25 feet from entrances,
windows, and ventilation uptakes.  There is a provision to revoke the
food/beverage license of chronic offenders.  Golden Valley was the last
active campaign in the Twin Cities metro region.  It has been a busy 5
months with 2 counties and 3 cities passing ordinances.
