[Kern] County Grand Jury has questions about district’s finances


BAKERSFIELD, CA- A Grand Jury report is raising questions about how a Kern County community service district is using public money.
Citizen complaints prompted the Kern County Grand Jury to launch an investigation of the Mountain Meadows Community Service District.
The district maintains 27 miles of roadways, drop inlets and posted signs in the Tehachapi mountains.
The Grand Jury says its investigation has revealed many long-standing problems, including numerous questionable financial transactions by its board of directors.
It also says the board has not met the requirements of government code and lacked authority to govern the district.
Because of this, the Kern County Auditor-Controller Clerk has ceased funding the district.
