68 Mr. Pico felt that a later effective date should be set. This would give all cities an opportunity to coordinate the effectiveness of this ordinance. He understood that the hotels needed sufficient time to convert their rooms. He would not object to allowing the hotels to convert within one year from the date of the ordinance. He would be willing to consider some flexibility with having smoking and non smoking on the same floor as long as the rooms had separate ventilation supplies. It was moved by Ms. Mohr, and seconded by Ms. Scribner, that Ordinance No. 1609 be introduced, to be read by title only and waiving further reading thereof, amending Chapter 9.24 of the Pleasanton Municipal Code concerning smoking in public and work places effective January 1, 1994; modifying Section 9.24.040 (14) to read as follows: "Private hotel and motel rooms rented to guests, except that up to twenty-five percent (25 %) of such rooms may be designated for smoking guests, if on a separate floor or on a separate wing."; hotel operators are allowed up to six months to convert rooms to non-smoking and if unable to do so, an extension may be requested. The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmembers Dennis, Mohr, Pico, Scribner and Mayor Tarver NOES: None ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None 7:30 p.m. 12.
