Background Information:
The Grand Jury report released on June 26, 2025, solicited responses and recommended actions from the Board of Supervisors regarding “the need to conduct reform in county governance” and “provide a plan to secure the money needed to fully staff the Re-Entry Center and the jail”. These responses and recommended actions have varied deadlines associated with each topic. This item will allow the Board to discuss and provide any necessary directions to staff for these responses and actions to be provided in a timely manner as requested.
Staff proposed that the board discusses each item individually in order to ensure the full Board’s opinions are represented in the responses.
