PORTAGEÂ â The City Council plans to take its proposed smoking ban in for major surgery, with significant changes to debut in August. Council Vice President Scott Williams, D-3rd, said the Ordinance Committee plans to revise the proposed ordinance to allow certain businesses and membership clubs to decide on their own whether to ban smoking. Restrictions will be recommended for government-owned property, however. Mark Oprisko said his bar, Mark O Bar & Grill, went smokefree for six months, but the experiment was a flop. âIf this ban was to happen, I would lose probably 50% of my business,â he said. The building could be sold, but the liquor license and equipment âwould go to zilch,â he added.
