Follow-up to discussion of GMO issues at December meeting: Discussion by this Board will be deferred to a later date, as the issue does not directly impact the City of Louisville at this time. (Joe commented that Open Space Advisory would probably be the board most likely to engage Boulder County in a GMO discussion at a later date.) Discussion of possible future uses of the Harney Lastoka area, and how City concerns could be addressed. As a private citizen, Meredith would like to go on record as being extremely shocked and dismayed at the decision of the Boulder County Commissioners to approve use of GMOs on county land. ·· Parks and Recreation Department 749 Main Street Louisville, CO 80027 · (303) 335-4735 FAX (303) 335-4738 www.louisvilleco.gov Parks Recreation Senior Services O
