The Village of Monticello hereby sets forth as official policy
pertaining to smoking, effective January 1, 1990, to provide nonsmoking
employees with a smoke-free area. A work area may be set aside for
smoking if all employees assigned to such area agrees to the designation.
The employer must provide for nonsmoking areas in employee cafeterias,
lunch room and lounges sufficient to meet employee demand. Employee
demand should be deemed to be met if 70% of the seating capacity of
said areas is designated as a nonsmoking area. Within the work area,
smoking is strictly prohibited in gyms, restrooms, classrooms, hallways
and rooms which contain office equipment that is used in common. Smoking
is prohibited in conference or meeting rooms unless everyone agrees
that smoking may be permitted.
The Board of Health of a county shall be the Enforcement Officer
for the Act. If the county does not have a Board of Health, the County
Legislature or Board of Supervisors may designate an officer. If the
county does not so designate an officer, the Department of Health
shall be deemed the Enforcement Officer. However, the county may designate
an Enforcement Officer anytime thereafter.
The Commissioner may impose a civil penalty of up to $1,000
for each violation if the Department of Health is the enforcement
officer. Any other Enforcement Officer may impose a penalty of up
to $500 for each violation.
