BACKGROUND:
On March 9, 1994 the Grand Jury filed report #9403 which was
reviewed by the Board of Supervisors on March 22, 1994 and referred
to the County Administrator and Internal Operations Committee. On
May 23, 1994 our Committee met to discuss the recommendations and
review proposed responses . At the conclusion of those discussions,
we prepared this report utilizing a format, suggested by a former
Grand Jury, which clearly specifies :
a. Whether the recommendation is accepted or adopted;
b. If the recommendation is accepted, a statement as to who will
be responsible for implementation and a definite target date;
C. A delineation of constraints if a recommendation is accepted
but cannot be implemented within the calendar year; and
d. The reason for not adopting a recommendation.
