The cost to house a juvenile detainee is $112.00 per day not $67.00 per day as indicated.

This Respondent disagrees with a portion of this finding. Further clarification is necessary. The 1989 Dodge is one of two vehicles that are used by the Juvenile Hall. However, the second vehicle is a caged van used to transport detainees to and from court (can be daily) and to other appointments. Because this vehicle is usually tied up the transporting of minors to or from Truckee or out-of-county becomes difficult with an unreliable 1989 Dodge.

This Respondent disagrees with a portion of this finding. Further clarification is necessary. Senior Group Supervisors have always enhanced the overall smooth running of the Juvenile Hall. However, assuming "additional responsibilities" needs to be clarified. Recently there has been an organizational realignment of duties within the Juvenile Hall. Job duties that were previously done by any Senior Group Supervisor were assigned to a specific Senior Group Supervisor. This helped to monitor workload assignments and to insure project completions.

The existing "caged" transportation vehicle should be replaced with a four-wheel drive vehicle with an operable police radio. GRAND JURY ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The commitment made by the Board of Supervisors to build a new and modern Juvenile Hall is applauded by the Grand Jury. The Grand Jury believes that the Board of Supervisors served the community well with this forward-looking vision to improve conditions not only for the troubled juveniles but also for the courts and the probation staff. The Grand Jury considers the expansion of the Juvenile Hall facility as only the first phase to be followed by more intensified and complete programs by the court and the probation organization to rehabilitate the youth. The decision to expand the Juvenile Hall facility is truly a milestone event marking the beginning of a new era.
