Body

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 attached draft response has been prepared in the form prescribed by Penal Code section 933.05 and addresses the findings and recommendations of the Grand Jury which are under the jurisdiction of the Board of Supervisors.
