FORT COLLINS
at the commissioners’ Tuesday session:

Commissioner Kathay Rennels proposed that the county host a “meth summit,” where community leaders, business owners, members of the media, schools, parents and children get together to talk about the growing problem of methamphetamines in today’s society.

Other commissioners agreed to the idea. The summit would probably last a half-day. Instead of focusing on treating the problem, Rennels said, the summit would look at ways to prevent people, especially teens, from trying meth in the first place.

Rennels mentioned the Montana Meth Project and said, while it is a great marketing program to prevent teens from taking the drug, it might not be applicable to Larimer County or Northern Colorado. Commissioners said they would have staff draw up a budget for the summit and present it in a month or so for possible funding from the commissioners’ special projects fund.
