This meeting was held jointly with the Bryan City Council and Brazos County Commissioners

Mayor McIlhaney called the meeting to order at 6:03 p.m.
Councilman Massey made introductory remarks about the process thus far. He stated that the
purpose of the joint legislative meetings is to look at common interests and develop cooperative
efforts to address the safety, health, and well-being of our community residents. This particular
item of interest was derived from discussions held at the Brazos County Health Department
board meetings in which officials from the three entities were represented. The Joint Legislative
Committee also met to discuss this topic and asked the staff to look at the current ordinances and
options available for additional restrictions for no smoking areas in restaurants. This meeting
was arranged by the Joint Legislative Committee to allow the entities to hear from the staff and
public. Councilman Massey and Councilman Silvia thanked everyone involved in the process.
Brooke Brandenburg, Assistant to the City Manager presented a power point presentation that
outlined the existing ordinances in both cities relating to smoking in public places and options
for ordinance amendments.
