§ 360-010. FINDINGS

The board of supervisors hereby finds and declares that the importation into and use in the Sutter County Jail of tobacco, tobacco products, and tobacco paraphernalia constitutes a serious health hazard to jail inmates and staff both due to primary use of the products and secondary effects of smoke transmitted throughout the facility. The board of supervisors further finds and declares that the importation into and use in the jail of tobacco, tobacco products, and tobacco paraphernalia constitute a fire hazard which could result in personal injury and property damage, and which fire hazard along with increased cleaning and repair efforts will increase needed staff time and thus unnecessarily add to the county's cost of administering the jail.
