Full Breakdown
02 prohibits possessing lighted smoking materials of any kind in a specific list of Fiscal Court facilities open to the public or serving as a workplace. J. J. J. Jolly Park. The ban does not extend to open lawns, trails or picnic areas of the park generally; it is tied to the listed buildings and facility grounds. 03 makes the Fiscal Court, or whoever controls a covered facility, responsible for posting 'NO SMOKING' signs with letters at least one inch tall, or the international no-smoking symbol, in every room, building or place where smoking is barred.
Facility staff must ask a member of the public who is smoking in violation of the chapter to stop, and if the person refuses, ask them to leave the premises. County employees who violate the chapter face discipline under Fiscal Court personnel policy rather than a citation. 03(D) resolves any dispute over the rule in favor of the non-smoker. The chapter originated as Ordinance O-6-92 (passed 6-3-92) and was amended by O-18-95, O-13-09 and O-02-14 to add facilities to the covered list, most recently the Clerk and Sheriff Annex at 8330 West Main Street in Alexandria.
Violations & Fines
Chapter 34 sets no penalty of its own, so a violation falls under the county's general penalty at § 10.99: a fine of up to $100, imprisonment up to 12 months, or both, with each day a violation continues counted as a separate offense. In practice the code directs facility staff to first ask a violator to extinguish smoking materials and, if they refuse, to leave the premises before any citation is pursued.
