DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
The 2018-2019 Grand Jury published several individual Final Reports on various subjects in April, May and June. Report #18-01, Moving Forward in El Dorado County Fire Service Sustainability, was issued April 19, 2019. Under the California Penal Code, sections 933 et. sec., the Board of Supervisors must provide a response to the Presiding Judge of the Superior Court within 90 days of the date that a Final Report is made available to the public. While proposed responses to remaining reports will be forthcoming in the next two months, the response to Report #18-01 is due by July 19 and the proposed response is therefore being submitted to your Board for approval sooner than the remaining responses.
The Board of Supervisors considered the draft response on June 25, 2019 (Legistar #19-0950, Item 40), and directed staff to make changes to the draft response. The attached revised draft response reflects the Board's comments from June 25, and has been prepared in the form prescribed by Penal Code section 933.05 to address the findings and recommendations of the Grand Jury which are under the jurisdiction of the Board of Supervisors.
