The California
Grand Jury Association has given its 2013 Robert Geiss Excellence in Reporting
Award to the 2010-11 San Luis Obispo County Grand Jury, for its
report on the South County Sanitation District. The Geiss award recognizes
grand jury reports that have “created positive changes in their communities by
increasing awareness of the California grand jury system.”
The jury was
recognized because of its work reporting on then-South County Sanitation
District Director John Wallace’s alleged conflict of interest and the failure
of the oversight board at the South San Luis Obispo County Sanitation District
to spot the conflict.After the report was made public in 2011, it led to significant changes in the board and Wallace’s eventual resignation.
Six members of the jury were present to receive the award Monday at the association’s annual meeting.
