Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:

Grand Jury reports routinely require responses from the Board of Supervisors. Board responses are formally approved prior to the submittal to the presiding Judge of the Superior Court and the Grand Jury. On July 11, 2023, the Board appointed the Ad Hoc Committee of Supervisors Ted Williams and Dan Gjerde to respond to the Grand Jury report titled “Accountability at the County”.

 

Summary of Request

State law requires the Board of Supervisors to respond to Grand Jury findings and recommendations no later than 90 days after issuance of the report. Elected County or Agency Heads are required to respond within 60 days after the issuance of the report, with an informational copy to the Board of Supervisors. The Grand Jury requested a response to the report titled “Accountability at the County”.

 

The Board’s and Human Resources’ combined draft response to the 2022-23 Grand Jury report as recommended by the Ad Hoc Committee is attached.

 

Alternative Action/Motion:

Approve the response to the Grand Jury Report with modifications.
