The meeting will occur at 6 p.m. at City Hall, 601 E. Main St.
Fines for smoking
Changes to Title 11 of the city code would prohibit the use of tobacco or vapor products in public parks, playgrounds, greenways and any other city property accessible to youth. People violating the ban could face an up to $50 fine.
Smoking is already prohibited in parks as a result of city policy, but because itâs not an ordinance, it is not comprehensively applied and can be difficult to enforce.
A law passed by the Tennessee General Assembly this year gives local governments the authority to prohibit the use of tobacco products on public property by ordinance. The law became effective on July 1.
Although they will be required to continue wearing face coverings in common areas, Johnson City students in grades K-4 will now be allowed to remove their masks while at their desks.
The Johnson City Board of Education approved changes to the systemâs COVID-19 protocols on Monday, which included laxer policies on masking but also continuations of existing guidelines.
Safety Supervisor Greg Wallace noted that itâs much easier to contact trace students in grades K-4 because students stay in a consistent classroom cohort throughout the day. As students move beyond elementary school, it gets harder to track potential contacts, he said.
