Tobacco license non-renewal appeal (Holy Smokes)
Summary
A smoke shop owner's tobacco licenses were recommended for non-renewal because of a 2020 felony conviction — the first case under the city's new PD background-check process for tobacco licenses. The committee approved his appeal after hearing he'd completed probation and stayed out of trouble since.

The owner and his employees keep the stores open; customers keep access.
Opponents of tobacco retail note youth vaping concerns, though police reported no significant criminal activity at the stores.
