VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
TOBACCO CROP IN IREDELL COUNTY: Mr. Renegar said there were 739 acres of tobacco grown in
Iredell County, which represents a $1,301,550 tax base. He asked the county commissioners to
reconsider the smoking ban in the county office buildings and designate a smoking area. There are
100 farms producing tobacco in Iredell County.
Chairman Sloan asked the county manager to respond to that.
Mr. Mashburn said the recent request of the county commissioners to make the county buildings
smoke-free had nothing to do with the tobacco farms or the economy. He made the recommendation
based on the fact that certain studies show that second-hand smoke is harmful to the people who are
in the smoking area. He felt that as an employer he had a responsibility to look after the welfare
of the employees and make sure they were working in a safe, healthy environment.

scheduled for 4:00 p.m., on Tuesday, May 5, 1992, County Commissioners' Meeting Room, lredell County
