Liberty residents, by overwhelming numbers, approved an improved and stronger smoke free ordinance November 3rd, 2009. Seventy percent of voters said they want to replace the city's existing ordinance with a stronger version that covers all indoor public places and workplaces including  restaurants, bars, clubs and bowling alleys. The new ordinance takes effect November 23rd, 2009.

.    Residents who wanted a tougher smoke free ordinance collected signatures and petitioned the council to put a new and stricter ordinance on the ballot. The voter-approved ordinance replaced one adopted by the city council in March 2009.

     Under the new ordinance smoking would continue to be allowed on outdoor patios and designated areas in city parks.
