Ordinance No. 20346 was passed by the City Council on May 23, 2005, <br />and approved by the Mayor on May 25, 2005, adding a new Section 6.232 to the <br />Eugene Code, 1971, and amending Section 6.990 of that Code. Section 6.232 <br />expanded the areas in which smoking was prohibited, and Section 6.990 added <br />penalties for violation of Section 6.232. Section 4 of the Ordinance, which was not <br />included in the Code, provided an automatic repeal of the amendments to the Code that <br />were effected by the Ordinance effective 12:01 AM on October 30, 2005, or on the <br />effective date of new provisions for outdoor smoking areas, whichever came first. <br /> <br />B. The City Council has not yet adopted new provisions for outdoor smoking <br />areas but anticipates doing so in the near future. It would be in the public interest to <br />amend Section 4 of Ordinance No. 20346 to provide that the amendments to the Code <br />that were effected by Ordinance No. 20346 be automatically repealed effective 12:01 <br />AM on December 31, 2005, or on the effective date of new provisions for outdoor <br />smoking areas, whichever comes first. <br /> <br />NOW, THEREFORE, <br />THE CITY OF EUGENE DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: <br /> <br />Section 1. Section 4 of Ordinance No. 20346, passed by the City Council on <br /> <br />May 23, 2005, and approved by the Mayor on May 25, 2005, is hereby amended to <br /> <br />provide: <br /> <br />Section 4. Unless otherwise extended by the City Council, the <br />amendments to the Eugene Code, 1971, effected by this ordinance, which <br />consist of the addition of Section 6.232, and an amendment to Section <br />6.990, are repealed effective 12:01 AM on December 31, 2005, or on the <br />effective date of new provisions for outdoor smoking areas, whichever <br />comes first. Notwithstanding the prior sentence, the City may continue to <br />pursue any enforcement actions commenced to enforce those provisions <br />prior to December 31, 2005, and the provisions related to such <br /> <br />Ordinance - 1 <br />
