City Council Decision
City Council on June 10, 11, 12 and 13, 2014, adopted the following:
1. City Council request the Executive Director, Municipal Licensing and Standards to review the feasibility of adding a condition to business licences to ensure that business operators are held responsible for maintaining the streetscape fronting their business store fronts in a neat and orderly fashion, and clear of all debris, cigarette butts, etc.
2. City Council request the Multi-divisional Litter Working Group to investigate the feasibility of mandating cigarette dispensers at locations that have a habitual problem, but take no action, as part of the pilot project on cigarette butt receptacles at restaurant, bars, nightclubs and other businesses.
