The Ventura County Grand Jury has finalized its 2014-2015
year by posting responses received to the twelve reports it issued during the
year. The Grand Jury is mandated by the California State Constitution and various
laws to serve as a voice of the people and a conscience of the community - a
"government watchdog."
The Consolidated Final Report included the following
individual reports: Elections and Polling Place Observations, Ventura County
Green Procurement Policy, City of Oxnard and Its Adjoining Agricultural and
Business Water Resources, Port Hueneme Police Department Public Records Request
Process, County Responsibility for Sidewalks, Countywide Bicycle Safety,
Detention Facilities and Related Law Enforcement Issues, Panhandling and
Charity Soliciting in the City of Thousand Oaks, County Project Management - A
Case Study, Foster Care and Adoption Process in Ventura County, Ventura County
Electronic Health Record Implementation Risks, and Ventura County Hiring
Processes.
The reports resulted primarily from complaints submitted by
residents of the County. Each report contains recommendations for improvements
in government operations. Certain government officials are required to respond
to the recommendations and others are requested to respond. The above reports
with their responses, as well as those of prior years, may be accessed on the
Grand Jury website: http://www.ventura.org/grand-jury.
In addition, members of the
Grand Jury Speakers Bureau are available to give talks/presentations to
interested groups in the community. Foreperson, Janice Feingold, may be
contacted at (805) 477-1600.
