Health Board Confronts Airborne Plutonium Crisis
During a recent government meeting, a significant discussion emerged regarding public health concerns following the detection of airborne plutonium in the area after an April wind event. A council member, who also serves on the State Board of Health, highlighted the issue, noting that the board convened a meeting with state hazardous waste officials and the air pollution control division to address the findings. This raises the possibility of utilizing the State Board of Health as a platform for community members to voice health-related concerns.

The meeting then transitioned to the council's consideration of proposed resolution number 2024-119, which involves Broomfield's intent to withdraw from the Rocky Flats Stewardship Council. The resolution was introduced by Mayor Pro Tem Shah and seconded by Council Member Ward, prompting further discussion among council members.

As the meeting progressed, the implications of both the airborne plutonium findings and the proposed resolution were acknowledged, indicating a proactive approach to public health and governance in the region.
