PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE: Commissioner Fishman led the Pledge of Allegiance
1. Presentation by Jordan Boudlal, Sr. Health Educator of the Florida Department of
Health in Broward County on Point of Sale Tobacco Marketing. Mr. Boudlal appeared
and gave a presentation, a copy of which is on file in the City Clerk's Office. Mr. Boudlal
and City Attorney Goren responded to questions and comments from the Commission.
City Attorney Goren said his staff is looking into this issue and will get back to the
Commission for further discussion. City Attorney Goren said his staff has also done
some research to determine if any cities in Florida regulate point of sale tobacco
marketing and they were not able to locate any. Commissioner Fishman said we need
to start thinking about this issue because if the state is silent on this then we have to do
something. Mayor Dressler said this is clearly offensive and not in the public interest to
market this product in the guise of candy. Commissioner Gomez talked about various
stores located within 1.5 miles of each other that market tobacco products.
Commissioner Gomez said she would like to find out how many of these stores we have
in Tamarac and how close they are to schools. Mr. Boudlal said he has that information
and will forward it to the Commission. City Attorney Goren noted there are 150
municipalities in California that regulate point of sale tobacco marketing.
