VI. Board Goals/Planning Session
The board spent time discussing accomplishments and issues that the board has
achieved and encountered. Numerous topics were put on the table as potential goals and
having a meeting with community professionals was identified as a starting place. Topics
included:
Education on Marijuana issues
How does zoning help keep our children safe?
Massive education of adults on the impact of marijuana on the developing brain.
Conflicts pertaining to attempts to educate the community on Marijuana.
Identifying the most effective “wedge.”
Developmental and legal ramifications.
Scheduling a meeting with community professionals.
Anthony Cullen suggested Board members come up with a list of community members
(Physicians, Judicial, Board of Health, City Council, local media, KPTZ, etc.) to bring to
the next meeting. SAAB members could then develop a draft of who should be invited to
meetings and what should be presented to them. It was agreed SAAB members would
bring this information to the next meeting.
Julia suggested members visit the Public Health web site for information on Marijuana
