On November 30, 2021, the 2020/2021 Contra Costa County Civil Grand Jury filed the above-referenced and attached report, which was reviewed by the Board of Supervisors and subsequently referred to the Animal Services Department and County Administrator's Office. Per the Board's direction, the appropriate staff reviewed the report and provided the Board of Supervisors with the attached response report that clearly specifies:

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

1. Whether there is agreement, partial disagreement, or complete disagreement with each finding, and detailed responses to those with partial or complete disagreement responses;

The California Penal Code specifies that the Board of Supervisors must forward its response to the Superior Court no later than February 28, 2022 (90 days from receipt).
