Spring has started and the outdoor smoke coming from the Barbecue is in full force at the Short Stop food-mart on North Smith Road. My wife and I had three meetings with the City Council about this issue in 2015. And 2 recorded meetings with the council as a whole and a second meeting a few weeks later. The smoke issue was to be addressed for this location. But Chris Smith sold the store without implementing the standards the City Council had requested he perform. He was supposed to install and indoor smoker by December of (2015) that never happened. And he then sold the business in spring of 2016. As an example of how bad this smoke is. I hung wet laundry outside yesterday (Wednesday 4-25-18). Hoping for that nice fresh air smell when it was dry. Our clothing smelled like we had been next to a campfire. So I had to rewash all of the clothing. This has become a HUMAN HEALTH hazard and it has not been taken seriously. The city did nothing after our meetings to address SMOKE issues from cooking outdoors. I really hate to call the Fire department each time I smell smoke. As the cost to the city will be ridiculous for putting out (3) outdoor smokers. But that is what I am going to start doing. As we cannot breath. She had a lung removed and everyone is turning a blind eye towards this fact. Let me know what the city can do. Our district representative Allison Chopra was at the meetings as she was running for office and won the election. But I was told she had slept since the meetings and did not remember the restrictions placed on the smoke issue. If necessary I can send you the link to the videos of the meetings and what was proposed. Thank You.

2 security patrol vehicles for the b line trail were pulled over on the trail smoking cigarettes. Not good for people like myself with asthma. Not good for encouraging citizens not to smoke on the trail.

B-Town Diner at 211 N. College allows it's employees and guests to freely use electronic smoking devices in it's establishment, despite the health inspector specifically instructing the owner and management that this was not allowed. Employees have also allowed and encouraged a minor employee (under the age of eighteen) to engage in this practice. There have been complaints to the owner and management but these have been ignored or flatly dismissed. These devices are in frequent use by wait staff as well as kitchen staff.

Little Caesars on the east side (2504 E Third St). The employees regularly take their smoking breaks immediately in front of the business entrance. The smoke travels to the outside dining area at McAlisters Deli. I witnessed this on Saturday May 27 and Wednesday May 31, 2017. The business also does not have any smoking signage posted. Just show up during business hours and observe, it won't take long.

Someone (highly likely the downstairs neighbor) is smoking excessively in the building. My condo reeks of cigarettes smoke. I began smelling cigarette smoke in October and by November, it had become excessive and is causing me serious health issues. I am allergic to cigarette smoke. After a few days of breathing the secondhand smoke, I became congested with an intense sinus headache and a continual cough. My daughter was here from L.A. during the Thanksgiving break and her cloths in her suitcase that she never wore were saturated with smoke after her visit. It’s a clear health issue and, because of this, I couldn’t have my grandchildren here for Thanksgiving.

600 W. Kirkwood Ave. The grass is so tall that it's starting to cover the "Zoning request pending" sign posted near the front sidewalk. No rain in the forecast until this coming weekend...they should be able to mow that lot now!
