"Urbana sought to have the smoking ordinance begin in August, when the
weather was warm, people could sit at outside tables to smoke, and the
expected transition time for businesses would be easier. Local bar
owners and their attorney petitioned for more time to get ready. Urbana
therefore delayed activation of the ordinance for bars by six months, to
allow them to build, enclose, heat, or otherwise prepare outside areas
for the greater comfort of their patrons. No special building permit
applications were initiated by any bar owner in Urbana during the six
month period in which this delay was granted."

"She [Cheri Manrique] is correct that I [Karen Foster] wish to overturn
the ordinance."
