Public hearing held on proposed smoking ordinance  

A proposed amendment to Prattville’s current smoking ordinance was discussed Monday night in a public hearing held at City Hall. If the amendment passes, it would make it illegal for anyone under 19 years old to enter or work in a smoking establishment.

Jose Perez, owner of Jose’s Mexican restaurant, spoke in opposition of the amendment.

“I will lose all of my customers to Millbrook because they do not have the smoking ordinance,” Perez said at the podium. “I also would lose six employees who are under 19.”

Blue Iguana General Manager, Chris Zinn, also opposes the amendment to the ordinance.
