County Treatment Campus Expansion

A county deputy director shared her personal story of losing her sister to addiction and argued treatment works best close to home, supporting the campus.

A former crisis stabilization client turned peer support worker credited these services with saving his life and spoke in support.

A Silverado High teacher urged the council not to approve the expansion, saying the lack of an impact study and the location next to schools are unacceptable.

A parent who lives two blocks from the site left work to plead with the council to stop the project, saying his kids attend the nearby schools.

A Silverado High senior and ASB leader said the county's rollout was unprofessional and the location inappropriate, warning of safety risks near open school gates.

A local therapist and 32-year resident urged the council to work with the county, saying withdrawal management services are desperately needed locally and grant timelines matter.

A Silverado parent and activities director read student concerns: traffic gridlock, safety risks, and feeling excluded from decisions about their own schools.

A behavioral health clinic CEO said the services are sorely needed with long wait lists, and urged the city and county to work together to mitigate concerns.
