City Manager Bruce Woody
A change is coming in the smoking ordinance that will go to Saint Joseph voters in April. City Manager Bruce Woody says representatives of the Saint Jo Frontier Casino and the initiative petition committee that wrote the ordinance met with city staff to address a concern about wording in the section dealing with the casino.
Woody says they agreed on a change that clarifies the conditions under which smoking would no longer be allowed to continue on the casino’s gaming floor. If 80 percent of the initiative petition committee approve the change in wording they will withdraw the petition…if the city council votes to put the changed ordinance on the ballot. Council will consider the change Tuesday night.
