Monday, October 26, 2026 · Government meeting record

The 30-second read

Recorded outcome

The City Council introduced an ordinance to prohibit smoking and vaping in outdoor dining areas.

The City Council approved a series of municipal measures on October 26, 2026, including introducing a smoking and vaping ban in outdoor dining areas, entering into new contracts for safety footwear and wastewater pumping services, and amending local ordinances on earned sick leave and minimum wage. The council also authorized multiple legal settlements, extended the Tijuana sewage state of emergency, and declared city-owned property on 30th Street as surplus land.

Why it matters

Local residents face new restrictions on smoking near outdoor dining spaces, while city personnel gain updated safety footwear contracts and local workers are affected by adjustments to the earned sick leave and minimum wage ordinance.
