Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
This just happened in our subdivision, and I thought it fit this "Law".
We have an outdoor pool that gets a lot of use, mostly on weekends. The most occupied table is a covered one, near the door, with an over head fan. There are several smokers in the group, but with the fan there is usually not a problem.
Somebody (unknown at least to me) approached the board and asked that since recreational pot is now legal in MO, are they allowed to imbibe by the pool? For the record, while we are not officially an over 55 community, I am sure the median age is over 60.
Well, that started a new discussion about allowing smoking, along with the question about pot. Upon investigating further with the City it turns out that the law does not allowing pot smoking in public, so that was an easy decision.
BUT, the board also discovered a new a county ordinance restricting smoking within 15' of a door or gate DOES apply to our pool area. So now the smokers need to move to the other side of the pool where there is little shade.
Be careful when you rock the boat. The outcome may be something you did not anticipate.
