Dear Mark:
As you are aware I have represented District 4 as a member of the Substance Abuse Advisory
Board since 1992 when Sunny originally appointed me to the position. I am grateful to have had
the opportunity to serve and I thank you for your support with your subsequent appointments.
In December I accepted a new position outside of banking and outside of Contra Costa County
with the Spanish Speaking Unity Council located in The Fruitvale district of Oakland. As the
new Director of Business Assistance &Economic Development I am charged with improving
the business climate and quality of life for the residents via the growing of existing and new
business in The Fruitvale. It is part and parcel of the"grow business- grow employment"
concept.
While I have sat at the table of business development before, I am now sitting in a new chair and
learning new perspectives and skills. Prior to this I have headquartered and worked in Contra
Costa County. The new work environment takes me to Alameda County, and I have become one
of those "commuters". My new duties preclude my effective participation as a member of the
Substance Abuse Advisory Board, and I will not just take up space and deprive another citizen
who may wish to contribute to a solution in substance abuse issues. It is with great regret that I
submit my resignation as your representative effective with your receipt of this letter.
Thank you again for the unique opportunity afforded me and the enjoyment I have received
participating as a member of the Substance Abuse Advisory Board.
Sincerely,
Peter B. Burnett
