Findings & Recommendations
5 findings
F1:
Questioning by the Grand Jury resulted in testimony which made it apparent that there are rifts within the Hanford City Council which are manifested in public behavior which is not befitting of elected officials.
F2:
The Grand Jury finds that a city councilman reading into the record derogatory letters directed toward another city councilman was not technically a Brown Act violation.
F3:
The Grand Jury finds that the Hanford City Councilmembers were not consistently civil in their interactions with each other at public meetings.

F5:
The Grand Jury finds that members of the Hanford City Council and members of the public appeared to have had prior knowledge of what the vote would be in the reorganization of the city council. If true, such a prior meeting is a Brown Act violation.
Additional Recommendations
5
Not linked to specific findings.
R1:
Hanford City Councilmen should be mindful that they are elected to represent their constituents and that their public behavior should be appropriate to the office that they hold.
R2:
Should this Councilman choose to run for public office at any time in the future he must open a campaign bank account if required to do so by the rules and regulations in place at that time.
R3:

R5:
The Grand Jury recommends that the Hanford City Councilmembers ask the City Attorney to conduct a Study Session to ensure they are aware of the requirements of the Ralph M.

Findings & Recommendations
3 findings
F1:
The ability of a student baseball player to qualify for the HWHS varsity squad was not solely determined by the player’s participation in summer club ball. A number of other factors, such as try-outs, were key in the selection of players to the varsity team. The investigation of the 2015-2016 Grand Jury did not substantiate that any aspiring HWHS player was prevented from playing HWHS varsity baseball based solely upon his failure to attend 70% of summer club ball or that the HWHS Athletic Department was in violation of AB 1575.
F2:
The 2015-2016 Grand Jury concurs with Finding 3 of the 2014-2015 Grand Jury that HWHS baseball players and their parents were not required to participate in fundraising as a condition to playing on the HWHS varsity baseball team. The Grand Jury further finds that the HWHS Athletic Department did not mandate fundraising in violation of AB 1575.
F3:
The direct payment of fees to a summer and fall club ball coach did not violate AB 1575 or any HWHS policy or regulation insofar as the club ball program did not operate under the auspices of the Hanford Joint Union High School District policies, but was a private, non-public organization.
Additional Recommendations

Not linked to specific findings.
R1:
Since there is no further summer club ball involving HWHS players planned, there is no recommendation for the ensuing HWHS baseball season.
R2:
All written communication, such as game schedules, updates, communication to parents and booster clubs, should clarify that all fundraising efforts are voluntary and will not be considered as a factor in the ability of HWHS students to play varsity baseball.

Findings & Recommendations
5 findings
F1:
The Grand Jury finds that the institutional programs at CSP-Corcoran are proactive and productive and appear to contribute significantly to inmate rehabilitation.
F2:
The 2015-2016 Grand Jury agrees with the Finding and Recommendation of the 2014-2015 Grand Jury’s Final Report that one firefighter alone cannot drive and read the map-book for directions and that it poses undue risk and is a major safety concern.
F3:
The diversion of the Hazardous Waste Tax revenues from the Fire Fund for the past two years has created an additional obstacle to reaching the goal of eliminating the one-person fire stations. Even though the Hazardous Waste Tax revenues have been reduced, a portion of those revenues should still be directed to the Fire Fund for the hiring of additional firefighting personnel.
F4:
The Grand Jury finds that the Board of Supervisors’ decision to allocate funding for three additional Fire Apparatus Engineers in order to address overtime costs instead of creating six Firefighter positions in order to address the critical problem of one-person fire stations appears to be ill advised.
F5:
The Grand Jury received a response dated 7/28/15 from the Board of Supervisors to the 2014-2015 Grand Jury report expressing concurrence 5 with the Fire Chief’s ultimate goal of operating all county fire stations with a minimum of two personnel . The Grand Jury finds this response to be 6 inconsistent with the Board of Supervisors’ actions in prioritizing the reduction of overtime costs over the elimination of one-person fire stations.

R2:
The Grand Jury recommends the Kings County Fire Department eliminate the use of map-books and utilize current technologies, such as installing computers in all department vehicles, to improve the safety of its firefighters.
R3:
The Grand Jury recommends that the Board of Supervisors direct additional funding to the Fire Fund, including utilizing a portion of the Hazardous Waste Tax revenues to help offset the additional cost of establishing the Firefighter classification. The Board of Supervisors should consider any source of funding, including those designated as one-time revenues, to address the problem of one-person fire stations.
R4:
The Grand Jury recommends the Board of Supervisors authorize the allocation of Firefighter positions to pair up with Fire Apparatus Engineers or Captains to ensure that all fire stations are operated with a minimum of two firefighting personnel on duty at all times.
R5:
The Grand Jury recommends that as part of the 2016-2017 Proposed Budget, the Board of Supervisors conduct a study session with the Kings County Administration and the Fire Department Administration for the purpose of eliminating one-person fire stations in Kings County. COMMENTS The 2015-2016 Grand Jury recognizes and appreciates the committed and dedicated service of all Kings County firefighting personnel.

Findings & Recommendations
3 findings
F1:
The Grand Jury finds that there is a strong disconnect in communication between the Hanford City Departments and the Commissions to which they report. The Parks and Recreation Department focused solely on budgetary issues in regards to Freedom Park during the Capital Improvement Budget planning process in 2014.
F2:
When Freedom Park was completed in 2007, the estimated life of the rubberized matting was expected to be seven to ten years, at which time the city would have to replace the material. However, no long-term budget plans were created to cover the cost of this replacement.
F3:
The Grand Jury finds the quick action of the Hanford City Council in halting the demolition stage of the Freedom Park rubber matting to be commendable.
Additional Recommendations
3
Not linked to specific findings.
R1:
With the uniqueness of Freedom Park and the public drive to get the rubberized matting, more information should have been presented to the Parks and Recreation Commission prior to approval of the project. The Grand Jury recommends that City Departments be more forthcoming with information presented to the Commissions, specifically in areas with high public interest.
R2:
None. The City of Hanford has corrected this discrepancy with the establishment of “Legacy Funding” in the budget for future replacement needs of the rubberized matting.
R3:
None COMMENTS The Grand Jury thanks all those interviewed during the course of this investigation. The Grand Jury was impressed at the speed in which the project was halted, solutions for a correction presented and the final determination of the Hanford City Council.
Findings & Recommendations

F1:
The Grand Jury finds no evidence of misuse of City of Hanford funds. The Downtown Reinvestment Fund does not have the same defined boundaries and limitations as the Central Parking and Improvement District, which is commonly referred to as the ‘downtown’ fund.
F2:
The Grand Jury finds that the Hanford City Council did not follow up on the suggestion from city staff to hold a Study Session to establish zone boundaries and limitations for the Downtown Reinvestment Fund.
Additional Recommendations
2
Not linked to specific findings.
R1:
As an on-going effort toward transparency and to keep the public and the city councilmembers properly informed, city staff should take great care in the wording of Agenda Staff Reports and the corresponding items listed on the agenda. Specific definitions such as budgetary fund numbers and acronyms should be used so as to avoid misconceptions.
R2:
The Grand Jury recommends that the Hanford City Council define boundaries and set limitations for the Downtown Reinvestment Fund. COMMENTS The Grand Jury thanks those who provided testimony and pertinent documents during the investigation.
