Trustee Jamie Yee motioned to have e-cigarettes and vaping products sold only in "tobacco stores"; Will Doerlich and Shareef Mandavi second the motion after which additional discussion was requested. Trustee Jamie Yee expounded that as a "tobacco store" has a 21- age requirement to enter, business owners would need to be knowledgeable about restrictions, and fines would in place for not following the ordinance, but eliminating e-cigarettes and vaping completely would prompt those products to be obtained illegally. Councilmember Julie Testa commented that out of the four stores that were found non-compliant for selling to underage persons, two of them were 'tobacco stores' with a minimum age of 21 to enter. The motion did not pass by vote of 7-7-1 with Councilmember Julie Testa abstaining. *Olivia Sanwong was not present for this vote nor any of the remaining votes. Will Doerlich moved to amend the motion to grandfather in existing tobacco retailers, and the only new businesses permitted to sell e-cigarettes and vaping products would have to be tobacco stores; Ellen Pensky McGraw seconded the amendment to the motion. The amended motion did not pass on vote of 7-7-1 with Councilmember Julie Testa abstaining. Shareef Mandavi made a motion to ban all e-cigarettes sales in Pleasanton; Sylvia Tian seconded the motion.
