Smoking at the Bocce Courts

Once again the question of Smoking or actually "No Smoking" was brought up, this time at the Capo’s meeting on

April 3rd

.The Martinez Bocce Federation has received complaints in the past, that Club members are not abiding by

the Rules of the Park where the subject of "No Smoking" is concerned.

We here on the "Board of Directors " are not the "Smoking Police" and can only display the relevant "Ordinance"

and remind members that smoking is not permitted in the Park and is therefore against the law.

The following extract is taken from the "City of Martinez" website.

http://www.cityofmartinez.org/news/displaynews.asp?NewsID=374&TargetID=1

Council Adopts Second Hand Smoking Ordinance

The Martinez City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1352 C.S. on May 6, 2009 (Chapter 8.05 of the Martinez

Municipal Code), to offer additional protections to the non-smoking public by regulating

secondhand smoke in and around public places, such as City businesses (including bars and

restaurants). The new regulation, which goes into effect on June 6, 2009, does not permit

smoking within 20 feet of doors, windows, vents and air ducts of public places.

Additionally, the new law does not allow smoking in City parks, public plazas, farmers'

markets, and services areas (such as ATM's, bus shelters, and the Amtrak Station).

Secondhand smoke restrictions in multi-family residences, such as apartment buildings or

condominiums with 4 or more units, will go into effect on June 1, 2010. The multi-family

provisions limit smoking to inside a residence, or in an outdoor smoking area designated by

the landlord. Smoking on balconies, porches, patios, carports, or similar private outdoor

spaces of a multi-family residence will not be permitted in order to prevent such smoke from infringing upon

another resident.

The Martinez Bocce Federation has been in contact with the Martinez Police Department on this subject and this is

their reply.

"If a complaint is called in to them, they will respond and issue citations to all those they see smoking. They will not

issue a citation if that person is not smoking at the time. They will cite all others that are observed."

Martinez Bocce Federation

Alcohol at the Bocce Courts Drinking alcohol within the confines of the Bocce Courts’ Perimeter is permitted by the

Martinez Police Department and City Manager and a major factor in the renewal of that

permit has been the “Trouble Free” history over the past 5/6 years in relation to alcohol

consumption at the Martinez Bocce Federation in Waterfront Park. Please don’t forget

the “Designated Driver or Drivers” for your team and keep any related incidents to ZERO,

especially so that you all get home safely after an enjoyable evening of

bocce.…………………….Cheers.

Important Court Etiquettes

1).The Cone Zone.

If a court has a “Cone” placed on it, that court must not be

used. It may have been recently groomed, may be reserved

for an upcoming event or game or may simply be “soft”

and is waiting to dry out. Please respect the “Cone Zone”

2).Grooming.

If you find it necessary to groom the

court prior to your match, all activity

must be completed 30 minutes before

your games commence.

Therefore, if your first game starts at

6.30pm all grooming must end at 6pm.

For a 5.00pm start, everything must be completed by 4.30pm.

3). Bouncing of Balls on Concrete Court Surround.

Some members have been seen to “Bounce” the bocce ball on

the concrete edge of the court to remove grit and oyster

shell. This practice must be discontinued as it not only may

weaken the integrity of the ball but also will eventually crack

the court’s concrete walls, which will lead to costly repairs.

Just because the future

mean you shouldn’t

plan for it

Retirement Planning…

Tomorrow’s concerns, Today’s Solutions

The complexity of issues surrounding retirement suggests that you should seek

professional assistance. This includes a realistic look at your current and future

finances, and setting realistic objectives to help attain your retirement goals.

Obtaining professional, independent advice is a great way to help determine

whether you can retire without worrying about finances. This is an important

matter. The sooner you tackle it, the greater your odds of reaching your financial

goals.
