Chapter 28 of the City of Warrensburg's Code of Ordinances
Chapter 28 of the City of Warrensburg's Code of Ordinances is intended to improve and protect the public’s health by eliminating smoking in all Enclosed Public Places and Enclosed Places of Employment within the City of Warrensburg with few exceptions. This new ordinance will become effective November 23, 2010.

The City of Warrensburg is providing a “No Smoking” window cling for businesses who are interested in receiving one. Those clings will be available at City Hall, along with a “Business Guide” that assists local businesses in better understanding the ordinance and their role in enforcement of the new policies. The City will also be distributing the guides and clings during the months of July and August.

Chapter 28 requires every Enclosed Public Place and Enclosed Place of Employment where smoking is prohibited to conspicuously post near all entrances “No Smoking” signs or the international “No Smoking” symbol as well as remove all ashtrays and smoking receptacles from any area where smoking is prohibited.

Information regarding those facilities and locations that will be exempt from the ordinance, instructions on reporting violations, the benefits of a smoke-free environment and who will be held responsible when a violation occurs, will be provided in a “Guide for the Public” pamphlet also available at City Hall. Both Guides will be posted on the City’s web page at www.warrensburg-mo.com.

Questions regarding the ordinance can be directed to the City of Warrensburg at 660-747-9131.
