BACKGROUND:

On May 15, 2020, the 2019/20 Contra Costa County Civil Grand Jury filed the above referenced report. Per standard procedures, a response to the Superior Court were to be provided from the Sheriff-Coroner no later than July 14, 2020 (60 days) and from the Board of Supervisors's no later August 13, 2020 (90 days).

On May 27, 2020, the Sheriff-Coroner provided the Superior Court a response to Findings 1-14 and Recommendation 3-5.

The County Administrator has prepared a response to Findings 6-8 and Recommendation 1 for consideration by the Board of Supervisors, which clearly specifies: whether a finding or recommendation is accepted or will be implemented; if a recommendation is accepted, a statement as to who will be responsible for implementation and by what definite target date; a delineation of the constraints if a recommendation is accepted but cannot be implemented within a six-month period; and the reason for not accepting or adopting a finding or recommendation.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

In order to comply with statutory requirements, the Board of Supervisors must provide a response to the Superior Court within ninety days of submission of the report.
