Re: Smoking in Couneil Chambers
Dear Stra:

In the past three yeara I have been a frequent visitor of Counctl
Meetinga tn Port Coquitlan. I have found the meeting to be very
_ informational and helpful. I have at several oeeasstona found tt
very uncomfortable sitting in the Counetl Chambers with amoke from
, other visitors emoking in the Chamber.

A survey of local Council Chambers showed 80% have no smoking allowed
in Counetl Chambera and only 20% allow smoking. Attached ta a ltet
of Counetl Chanbers surveyed. — :

I would apprectate tf Counett would consider to have no smoking or a
non~asmoking seetion tn Counetl Chanbers and I an therefore making
that a request.

Youra truly, Z

ELL.
