Dear City Manager, City Council, Sustainability Commissioners, and Village Fest
Board members,
Please note that pop-up tobacco sales are banned by the Riverside County "TRP"
Tobacco Retail Permit ordinance, which was adopted by the City of Palm Springs
several years ago, and with a strong 5-0 approval vote by City Council.
A vendor applicant for Village Fest is on their upcoming agenda with the expressed
intention of selling tobacco. NO!
Honestly, even without the "TRP" this should be a HARD NO! This should have
become a Smoke-Free City many many MANY years ago. And - Village Fest - a
clear no brainer for a safe smoke-free space event.
Thank You,
Bob Heinbaugh and Paul Hinrichsen - Upper West Side NOrg long-time leadership
members and dedicated city volunteers.
