SD.1
Board of Supervisors
Contra Costa County
Date: March 22 2011 Public Comment
The following people spoke in favor the siting of a mental health facility known as Bonita House
in Knightsen:
David Kahler, resident of Concord; Sharon Madison, resident of Walnut Creek, Cindy Mataraso,
Pleasant Hill, Brenda J. Crawford, resident of Concord, Suzanne H. Davis, Public Guardian,
NAMI, Local One; Sean Kleen, resident of Martinez; Charles Madison, resident of Walnut
Creek;
Rollie Katz, Public Employees' Union Local 1, said that much attention in regard to current
economic conditions has been focused on the sustainability of pensions. He urged that more
attention be given to that which is truly not sustainable – an unemployment rate exceeding 10%
and a climate in which the wealthiest 1 percent of population pays the lowest amount of taxes.
Mr. Katz said that we don’t have a spending problem in government, we have a revenue
problem;
David Frey (Captain, U.S. Navy, Retired), expressed his opinion that given past inadequacies in
their record keeping functions, Pacific Gas & Electric Co. (PG&E) should never be entrusted
with the management of nuclear power.
THIS IS A MATTER FOR RECORD PURPOSES ONLY
NO ACTION WAS TAKEN
