4/3/84 Page -10- Broomfield, Lafayette, and the City of Boulder. Mr. Leary expressed the concerns our City had as passed by the motion. There i.s a feeling that if a City does not parti- cip<~te they will lose out. Administrator Wurl asked if there would be jusit one person representing Boulder County on i~his issue. Committee to be Formed Mr. Leary advised that the recommendation that= Commissioner Smith had made would be than there be 3 representatives - one from the County - one from the cities, and one from the Commissioners and it was his belief that: Mr. Smith would be representing the Bou]'_der County Commissioners; and one from the public at large. Commissioner Smith saici he had someone in mind for that that woul_dn't be real pro or real anti. The question was asked at the meeting whose views will the people on the committee repre- sent: and Mr. Leary wasn't certain that an appz•opriate answer had been given. He further staged that he would characterize the study as a. corridor identification study., little time: was spent on need. If the City of Louis- ville wishes to participate in the study in- dependent of what anyone else in the County wanted to do, they could do it. Presently there is an attempt to try to develop some type of a Boulder County position on the issue so that there is some agreement on what we want. One avenue that we, could take would be the decision of participation and we would have to approve some type of study design. Mr. Leary saw some real problems in partici- pating in something that is a faulty study design that is not designed to address the issues that should be properly addressed in such a study. Broomfield's Position In reply to Administrator Wurl's question Mr. Leary stated that Mrs. Banschbach, from Broomfield, was rather versiferous in her opposition. She did support parti- cipation in the study. He also stated there was one suggestion that the City of Longmont represent the cities because they seem to be in a position of not having a real ax to grind in this issue; but 'yet a position that is somewhat consis- tent.
