A map was displayed and staff riviewed the existing first phase which begins near ~ the Chamber of Commerce with a 10' concrete trail along the lake, up to Lakefront St., continues with the 10' concrete trail to the Marina, terminating west of the Marina.

The Town could receive over $200,000/yr. This revenue would be used to leverage any potential grants for the Causeway Project.

Box 1200 Estes Park, CO 80517 Dear Mr. Dekker, The Estes Park Committee For a Tobacco-Free Community wishes to commend the Estes Park Town Board of Trustees for its efforts to protect the health of our children and adolescents by considering an ordinance to control the access of youth to tobacco products. In reviewing the draft of the ordinance which will be presented to the Board, we request that the Board consider adding a provision which, we believe would greatly increase the effectiveness of the proposed ordinance. Our recommendation is to eliminate the sale of tobacco products through self-service displays. This provision would require that all tobacco products be positioned in a manner that would require the customer to obtain the assistance of a clerk to procure the product. I have included some background information which explains the rationale for this provision. Research supports the committee's belief that this is the single most important component to be included in a "youth access" ordinance. The ordinance would also be improved by prohibiting the sale of tobacco products by persons under the age of 18. This is similar to alcohol laws in which persons who are not allowed to use the product are also not allowed to sell it. The Estes Park Committee is a group of citizens including parents, health professionals, volunteers, business people and retired persons which was formed in November, 1995 because of concerns regarding the deleterious effects of tobacco on the residents and citizens of Estes Park. The committee has given careful consideration and study to this problem before reaching its conclusions regarding a youth access ordinance. The committee respectfully requests that the Town Board consider these recommendations in its consideration of the youth access ordinance.

"Smoking is a pediatric disease," said Dr. David Kessler, FDA Commissioner. President Clinton called the evidence "overwhelming" that tobacco was "harmful, highly addictive and aggressively marketed to young people." The time to act is now, he said, to avoid "condemning another generation of Americans to fight a difficult and grueling personal battle with an addiction that will cost millions of them their lives. " The president has proposed a number of actions to control the sale and distribution of tobacco products to children and adolescents. These are as follows: REDUCE ACCESS TO TOBACCO • Require all sales of tobacco products to be transacted person-to-person. • Eliminate cigarette vending machines, self-service displays, free samples, single cigarettes and "kiddie packs", and mail-order sales. • Require all retailers to verify customer's age to be at least 18 years old. WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO REDUCE ACCESS? Most smokers begin smoking during childhood and adolescence. • If people do not begin to use tobacco as youngsters, they are highly unlikely to begin smoking as adults. Eighty-nine percent of adult smokers began by age 18; 16 % began by age 12; 37% by age 14, and 62% by age 16. • Three thousand (3000) young people become regular smokers every day. Most of the smokers who replace those who quit or die prematurely from smoking-related disease are children or teens. Almost 1000 of those 3000 young smokers will die of tobacco-related disease. In Colorado 40 children begin smoking every day, a total of 15,000 each year. • In 1993, 29.9% of the nation's high school seniors were current smokers (they had smoked within the past 30 days and 19% smoked daily). Among high school seniors, 10.7% were using smokeless tobacco and 3.3 % were doing so daily. • The average teen smoker starts smoking at age 13 and becomes a daily smoker by age 14.5. • Almost 75 % of daily smokers in high school still smoke 7 to 9 years later, even though only 5 % had thought they would definitely be smoking 5 years later. • In 1992, approximately two-thirds of adolescent smokers reported that they wanted to quit smoking, and 70% indicated that they would not have started smoking if they could choose again. MORE CHILDREN ARE BEGINNING JO SMOKE • Smoking among teens of all ages increased from 1991 - 1994. In 1991, 14.3 % of eighth- graders smoked in the past 30 days compared to 18.6% in 1994. Nine percent of them smoked daily. Tenth grade smokers increased 22% since 1991 to a total of 25.4%; and 31.2% of high school seniors smokpd in the past 30 days in 1994, an increase of 12% since 1991. • Between 1970 and 1986, the use of snuff (spit tobacco) increased 15 times and the use of chewing tobacco 4 times among males aged 17 - 19 years. IT-IS EASY-FOR YOUTHTO-PURCHASE TOBACCO-IN ESTES-PARK.- VENDING MACHINES • Teenagers were able to purchase cigarettes from vending machines 80% to 100% of the time in sales surveys conducted from 1991 - 1995 in Larimer County. Teenagers were 14 - 16 years old. • In surveys of sales from vending machines conducted throughout Colorado, 85.2% of the attempts were successful. Young teens and children (age 10 - 13) were successful 100% of the time. • Vending machines are a favorite source of cigarettes for very young teens (teens under age 14). RETAIL SALES OF TOBACCO PRODUCTS • Youth access surveys were conducted by the Larimer County Department of Health and Environment for the past 6 years in Loveland, Fort Collins, and Estes Park. Teens aged 14 - 17 were successful in purchase attempts from 11% to 84 % of the time (average 33.2%). In Estes Park, 33.3 % of attempts were seccessful. • In surveys conducted throughout Colorado, 37.4% of the attempts were successful. SELF-SERVE VS. CLERK-ASSISTED SALES • Teenagers say that having to ask a clerk for cigarettes is a powerful disincentive. In Colorado surveys, purchase attempts by teens were successful 22.8 % of the time when cigarettes were clerk-serve only. 0 Eliminating self-serve cigarette sales is an effective deterrent to shop-lifting. • When teenagers were asked to show age-identification, only 7.7% of purchase attempts were successful (Colorado surveys). CALIFORNIA CITIES REDUCED SALES OF TOBACCO TO MINORS BY ADOPTING REGULATIONS WHICH PROHIBITED SALES FROM VENDING MACHINES, ELIMINATED SELF-SERVICE SALES, AND REQUIRED THAT TOBACCO SALES CLERKS BE ADULTS. • Examples of reduced sales to minors in 19 California cities: -Naph sales to teens dropped from 50 % successful attempts to 9%. -Tiberon - 62 % successful attempts to 0. -San Anselmo - 73 % successful attempts to 8%. . ESTES PARK COMMITTEE FOR A TOBACCO-FREE COMMUNITY Recommended addition of a provision to the proposed ordinance concerning the regulation of tobacco products by minors. Our recommendation: ELIMINATE SELF-SERVICE DISPLAYS AND REQUIRE, CLERK ASSISTANCE TO PURCHASE TOBACCO PRODUCTS FOR ALL RETAIL BUSINESSES Why it is important to ban self-service sales to protect youth? To reduce tobacco use by minors, regulations which restrict youth access to tobacco products is of prime importance. One of the most effective strategies has been to enact local ordinances which eliminate self-service displays. An approach which is comprehensive in nature has produced the best results. An environment that allows self-service does not reinforce the message that sale of tobacco products to minors is unacceptable. Other cities in Larimer County including Loveland and Fort Collins have included a self-service provision in their ordinances. Including this provision in the Estes Park law would send a -consistent message to youth. Regulating the retail sale of tobacco by eliminating self- service helps the retailer in complying with the law. It spreads the responsibility for protecting youth to government, law enforcement, and the business community. Eliminating self-service of tobacco products is the most effective single approach for reducing youth access to tobacco. How do self-service displays contribute to minor's obtaining tobacco products? 1. Self-service displays facilitate shoplifting. -Up to 44 % of adolescent smokers (ages 14 - 15) admitted to stealing cigarettes. -Grocery retailers report that cigarettes are the item most often stolen. -Store managers report losing an estimated $1200 per year due to tobacco shoplifting. -A total of over 9 % of adolescent smokers (who are in school) report that shoplifting is their primary means of obtaining cigarettes. This figure would likely be much higher if out-of-school youth were counted. 2. Self-service displays makes it easier for minors to purchase tobacco. -Clerks are not reminded to ask for identification when tobacco products are obtained from self-service displays. Stores that sold through self-service asked minors for identification 32 % of the time; those without self-service asked for identification 56 % of the time. -Self-service displays offer no deterrent for underage tobacco buyers who might be intimidated by a sales clerk. -Stores that did not sell tobacco products through self-service displays were less likely to sell to minors (12.8%) versus self-service stores where minors could purchase 31 % of the time. Why do some retailers oppose regulations to eliminate self-service displays? 1. They fear that they will lose business because customers will be inconvenienced. In fact, most adult smokers are addicted to tobacco and will not be deterred from buying the products regardless of how they are merchandized. 1 2. They claim they willlose money from slotting fees (promotional fees paid for placement of tobacco products in kiosks, counter self-serve displays, open racks and advertising). Tobacco companies spent $6 billion dollars on advertising/promotion in 1993, 84% of which was spent on store-based advertising. One-third was paid as promotional allowances. It is estimated that retailers receive an average of $1500 per year from slotting fees. In Larimer County surveys, most local retailers claim they are unaware of the amount of promotional fees the business receives as the amount is negotiated with the corporate offices and paid to them. In fact, retailers who have moved tobacco products to locations requiring clerk assistance claim that they recovered their losses from shoplifting, and found that marketers of other products such as candy, gum, snacks were willing to pay promotional fees for the counter displays as well. In conclusion, there was - - no-loss in revenues-or profit. 3. Retailers claim that construction costs would occur as a result of retrofitting and modifying existing shelves. In fact, tobacco companies provide storage facilities, behind the counter shelving, locking cases and signage to advertize their products. , - ORDINANCE NO AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING CHAPTER 8.12 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF THE TOWN OF ESTES PARK CONCERNING THE REGULATION OF THE OBTAINING, USE AND POSSESSION OF TOBACCO PRODUCTS BY MINORS WHEREAS, the use of tobacco products is dangerous to human health; and WHEREAS, Colorado law currently prohibits the sale of tobacco products to minors; and WHEREAS, Section 25-14-105, C.R.S., specifically authorizes local regulation of smoking and authorizes local entities to adopt ordinances regarding smoking; and WHEREAS, Section 18-13-121(3), C.R.S., authorizes local authorities to impose requirements regarding the purchase of tobacco products by minors; and WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees of the Town of Estes Park has determined that this ordinance pertains to and is in the furtherance of the health, welfare and safety of the citizens of the Town of Estes Park, particularly those residents under the age of 18.
