DECATUR, AL - (WAFF) - A committee formed to review Decatur's two-year-old smoking ordinance will move forward without appointments from two city councilmen.
City Attorney Herman Marks says he plans to brief the committee Thursday, providing its members copies of the ordinance and any other material they might request.
Mayor Don Stanford is expected to attend the introductory meeting along with District 2 appointee John Buchanan, District 3 appointee Joseph Wynn, and District 5 appointee Ted Whittington.
Councilmen Ronny Russell and Billy Jackson are boycotting the committee and have refused to make appointments for Districts 4 and 1.
Both say the current ordinance needs no changes but others favor rules similar to Huntsville's, which allow smoking in some circumstances.
