Another benefit of this program, Biggs stated, is <br /> that it will not only help the planning stages of <br /> commercial and residential development, it will <br /> also be an employer in Boulder County. Biggs <br /> stated that this is not a regulatory program. It <br /> is a planning tool. Instruments strategically <br /> located Countywide will provide a thorough emissions <br /> inventory. <br /> Szymanski asked what the financial future of this <br /> program is. Biggs stated this program has not <br /> been attempted previously and there currently is <br /> no State or Federal agency whose mission is to do <br /> this type of study. Agencies like MOAB and NCAft <br /> have been approached in lopes that they can divert <br /> some of their resources for the studies and <br /> research proposed by this project. Private <br /> enterprise is another source for funding. <br /> Biggs stated, The level of the problem is not as <br /> important as being able to understand the dynamics <br /> of the problem. Be have enough of a level of a <br /> problem in Boulder County to be able to give us <br /> enough information to start studying these <br /> things."

At that time <br /> those things that were proposed were 1) sanc- <br /> tioning a committee, 2) researching economic <br /> development that would provide activities for <br /> youth, i.e., movie theatres and recreational type <br /> centers, including public and/or private partner- <br /> . <br /> ship, 3) City sponsorship of a teen activity, and <br /> 4) making the teen canter a priority for CDBG in <br /> 3 <br />
