In two weeks, the city councils in Batavia, Geneva and St.
Charles may be voting on the same ordinance to ban smoking in
public places, including public restaurants and bars. Council
committees in Batavia and St. Charles already have taken public
testimony on a draft ordinance, and Geneva's council heard
testimony at its Committee of the Whole meeting Monday night
(Jan. 22). All three cities have posted draft copies of the
ordinance on their Web sites, and are taking e-mail testimony
there, too.
Each city council now will consider by Feb. 5 the same draft
ordinance.
And as the Tri-Cities go, so might all of Kane County.
The village of Sugar Grove is ready to discuss the Tri-Cities'
ordinance at its Feb. 6 meeting. Other municipalities have
requested copies of the ordinance.
