Barbara Allen stated that she wished to speak so that she could save lives, save the environment,and improve her speaking skills. She questioned the location of marijuana establishments in the county because of the availability to those under age. Education was offered as a solution but she believed the education material was behind the times. A better solution would be to make marijuana unavailable and provide education. She expressed concern with marijuana use and people driving under the influence. Prominent citizens had been saying that they didn't know what they were voting for on Amendment 64. She had been receiving concerns from the community related to crime if marijuana were grown locally. The lawyer who was working on a Snowmass case researched Eagle County and came to the conclusion that marijuana would not be grown on agricultural land unless the Colorado constitution changed. Chairman Fisher stated that she appreciated that Ms.Allen had an interest in this topic but the information she was providing was not new and often hearsay. She asked that she minimize her visits and be respectful to her fellow commissioners. Ms. Allen believed she was providing new information. As a public citizen, should be able to make public comment. Her concerns were related to the Edwards location and she would continue to bring in new information. Commissioner Ryan stated that the board had already taken a vote on the issue and before voting she considered the research. The Studies indicate that in states with legalized medical marijuana,the usage rate among teens had either stayed the same or declined over time. According to the literature,regulation of substances such as alcohol,tobacco and marijuana have a positive impact on teen behaviors;therefore she was not likely to change her opinion. Ms.Allen stated that she was not arguing that marijuana shouldn't be legal she was just talking about location only. She would be more careful with her articles. Isaiah Mc Gregory from Colorado Springs,Katie Walker from Georgia, and an individual from Mexico City representing"Up with People"were present. Ms. Walker stated that they would be working with 100 students from 20 different countries. During the week there would be educational workshops at various schools in the county. They were organizing a musical event that would be held at the Eagle Valley High School on February 14 and 15. All the ticket proceeds will benefit the Youth Foundation.

Mr.Montag stated that the ECO board offered some transportation assistance for the group. Ms.Walker stated that the website was-upwithpeople.org/vailvalley for anyone interested in becoming a host family. Chairman Fisher welcomed the group with open arms into the valley.
