Dear Mr. Coonerty,
The Board members of the Rural Bonny Doon Association would like to
congratulate you on winning the vote for the 3rd district. We
look forward to working with you on issues that concern Bonny Doon and
the North Coast.
Over the years we have established a schedule and agenda for our
Community Meetings that includes our 3rd district supervisor. The
meetings happen at 7:30pm on the second Wednesdays of January, March,
May, , September and November at the Bonny Doon Elementary School.
At our annual meeting in January the supervisor is the main guest
speaker on our agenda to give the “state of the county”
report. We hope you will be able to continue this
tradition. We have also appreciated regular attendance by our
supervisor at the other monthly meetings to allow for a dialogue with
our membership, hear the voices of the community as well as present and
discuss current county business and issues of concern as they
develop. We have come to appreciate a regular scheduled time that
the community can bring up issues and we have learned that this has
made a tremendous difference by having a forum for open dialogue with
our county representative.
We look forward to having you at our meetings and an opportunity to
develop a good work relationship.
Sincerely,
Yana Jacobs
Corresponding Secretary. |

Re: Urgent Road Repair needed on Empire Grade
Dear Mr. Bolich,
I would like to bring your attention to a serious and potentially life
threatening road situation in Bonny Doon.
Empire Grade, approximately one half mile north of the UCSC West
entrance is rapidly deteriorating from the rains. There is a huge
series of deep cracks in and along the road which appears like the road
is in danger of breaking off especially both with normal residential
traffic as well as heavy equipment going in and out of both the Quarry
and Lockhead Martin.
This area has shown a marked worsening just over the past few
days. Note the photo attached was taken on April 14th, we have
had much rain since the 14th.
I urge you to take action to remedy this area before we lose the road
which would cost the county large sums of money and possible serious
loss of life or injury. Empire Grade is a major artery for the
Bonny Doon Community, we cannot afford to lose this section of road for
our daily commute.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Yana Jacobs, Corresponding Secretary
Cc: Supervisor Mardi Wormhoudt, Third District
