Resolution #3, concerning the conversion of 230 general residence parking spots to “upperclassmen parking,” was read to the senators. However, further discussion was tabled until next week for the purpose of hearing University Parking opinions.

Resolution #4, a proposition to regulate smoking zones and enforcement of smoking policy, was discussed by senators. The resolution would expand upon Georgia law 16-12-2 to set illegal smoking zones to 30 ft. from any university building door, with a $100-$500 fine for misdemeanor offenses. If passed, the bill would also place responsibility on university departments to move or remove ashtrays and inform students of the new policy. Further discussion for the resolution was tabled until next week to hear informed and varied opinions on the topic.

City Hall meeting regarding zoning restrictions followed the Zoning Committee’s recommendation: the law, effective in November, will make having 3 or less unrelated people living in any house in historic Milledgeville illegal. The students’ proposition to apply for a license if they had enough parking spots for every resident was not voted on by the council.
