Recommendations 8

• R1
  The Cambria Community Service District (CCSD) should request that a local emergency be declared regarding the fire risk and forward it to the San Luis Obispo Board of Supervisors for ratification; RESPONSES: a.

• R2
  If the Cambria Community Services District fails to request a local emergency, the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors should do so on its own. RESPONSE: No response needed.
• R3
  The Cambria Community Services District should take additional action to raise public awareness locally and with relevant county, state, and federal emergency management agencies. Such actions might include conducting community drills, conducting a new campaign for reverse 911 sign-ups for mobile phones, and mailing the wildfire evacuation plan to residents. RESPONSE: Cambria Community Services District: Agree. The CCSD web page was updated with information about community programs and local fire safety organizations and activities.
• R4
  The Cambria Community Services District should obtain funding to improve forest management. RESPONSE: Cambria Community Services District: Agree. Cambria received a $498,000 Fire Safe Council grant for fire hazard reduction.

Remove other fire hazards such as ladder fuels and other flammable materials. RESPONSE: Cambria Community Services District: Agrees. CCSD will be using the funding for all of the above programs. REPORT 2 - Making the Case for Efficiency: Maximizing Emergency Services in Cambria The recommendations requiring responses:
• R6
  The CCSD and CCHD should determine how best to utilize firefighters and emergency medical service personnel within a common management organization. RESPONSES: Both districts agree but neither recommendation has yet been implemented. FOLLOW-UP: Recommend following up with both districts to determine progress. REPORT 3 - Morro Bay Municipal Code Enforcement: Band-Aid or Process? The recommendations requiring responses:
• R7
  The Building and Planning Department should determine and fund a way to monitor whether advertised vacation rentals are properly licensed, thus ensuring collection of related taxes and fees, which can more than cover these costs. RESPONSES: San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors and the San Luis Obispo County Department of Planning and Building: Both disagree. FOLLOW-UP ON REPORT 4: The entities initially disagreed with many of the recommendation in this report as they were deemed not warranted or reasonable. In summary, after the failure of SB593 to pass the State Senate, a new bill (SB1102) was recently introduced in the State Legislature to address the same issues as SB593. However, due to statewide interest, this issue has prompted the development of SB1102 which is currently pending. The County is waiting on the resolution of this legislation prior to taking any action. All of the previous Grand Jury's recommendations on this issue should be revisited. We strongly encourage the 2016-2017 Grand Jury follow up to determine progress. REPORT 5 - We Are Waiting: Access to County Provided Mental Health Services The recommendations requiring responses:
• R8
  The County, whether by clinic staff, interns, temporary or part-time employees, should institute contact with those clients awaiting appointments to decrease the number of no- shows who prevent the scheduling of another client. This could also determine if the severity of the individual's condition has improved/stabilized/worsened and if the client has transportation. RESPONSES: a. San Luis Obispo Board of Supervisors and the SLO County Health Agency Both agencies partially agree: The CHA is now confirming appointments with clients, but the determination of the individual's condition will not be implemented because of confidentiality issues. REPORT 6 – San Luis Obispo County Juvenile Hall, Jail, and Allied Agencies Inspection The recommendations requiring responses:
