A
A
Welcome
to
inside
Boulder
news,
I'm
Ashley
pro
the
Boulder
City
Council
kicked
off
this
week
by
identifying
top
goals
and
agreeing
on
specific
priorities
for
the
next
two
years.
The
annual
council
retreat
focus
on
creating
a
strategic
plan
designed
to
lay
the
groundwork
for
a
better
Boulder
there's
a
lot
of
work
ahead.
These.
B
Are
not
projects
that
are
going
to
get
accomplished
in
a
couple
of
weeks?
There
were
some
very
discreet
ones,
and
there
are
some
that
I
think
we
can
pull
off
relatively
quickly.
Of
course,
with
community
input
it
has
to
be
a
public
process.
The
results
of
the
retreat
will
come
back
to
Council
sometime
in
February.
The
staff
needs
to
take
a
look
at
what
we
have
requested,
try
to
come
up
with
a
playbook.
B
What
it
really
might
be
possible
in
the
two-year
timeframe
that
this
council
is
in
session,
what
type
of
schedule
might
there
be?
What
type
of
trade-offs
might
there
be
once
we
have
kind
of
a
plan
for
moving
forward?
That,
of
course,
will
be
made
public,
but
then
all
of
these,
every
single
thing,
I
mentioned
and
more
of
course,
including
all
the
everyday
work
we
do.

while
local
retailers
are
eager
to
start
selling
recreational
marijuana,
those
in
Boulder
are
making
sure
they're
dotting
their
eyes
and
crossing
their
tees.
First.
Existing
medical
marijuana
businesses
interested
in
converting
only

selling
recreational
marijuana
were
able
to
apply

a
city

E
Are
being
pretty
deliberate,
they're
doing
some
surveying

their
customer
base

really
trying
to
do
their
due
diligence
to
make
an
appropriate
business
decision
for
them?
Our
current
businesses
that
are
operating
here
are
very
good
and
very
compliant,
and
so
we
really
think
that
they're
going
to
do
a
good
job
with
this
program,
the.
A
City

than

in
Madison

which
is
big
when
you
think
of
the
logistics
of
it
all.
We
had
the
largest
junior
participation
in
u.s.
cyclocross
history
and
those
numbers
were
264
racers
from
over
20
states
and
even
more
impactful
was
the
largest
women's
registration
in

business
I
think
it
was
really
positive,
just
in
making
connections
with
people
that
we
maybe
talk
to
from
all
around
the
country,
but
never
really
get
to
see.
People
came
into
town
this
last
weekend
to
be
a
part
of
the
festivities.
We
were
able
to
shake
some
real
hands
and
make
some
real
connections,
and
it
really
helps
mosaic
cycles.

Local
leaders
teamed
up
this
week
to
discuss
important
issues
in
the
boulder
community.
The
boulder
town-gown
forum
was
an
effort
to
encourage
collaboration
between
the
city
of
Boulder,
the
boulder
chamber,
Boulder
Valley,
School
District
in
see
you
participants,
say
it's
opportunities
like
these
that
lead
to
a
better
understanding
of
challenges
and
stronger
partnerships.
It.
H
Was
important
because
it
allows
me
to
express
how
valuable
it
is
to
collaborate
with
all
these
other
entities
to
advance
the
interests
of
the
business
community
and
vice
versa.
We
know
that
the
business
community
can
help
all
these
other
organizations
be
successful
by
bringing
our
resources
to
the
table.
So
it
was
both
a
an
opportunity
for
me
to
demonstrate
what
we
need
from
the
community
to
be
successful,
but
also
how
we
can
support
others
to.
