F 1. The City of Marina’s blatant failure to cooperate with the Civil Grand Jury and comply with the requirements set forth in California Penal Code Section 933.05 was unacceptable and risked incurring legal expenses if the Civil Grand Jury took legal action to compel compliance and sanctions if the City failed to comply with the court order.

Response: Agree Score: +1

The City of Marina agrees with the finding. The City of Marina had a complete turnover in the Community Development Department.

There was no staff available and the hired contract employees did not have the expertise and knowledge to provide the detailed answers required to respond to the Housing Homeless Women Grand Jury Report. Additionally, there was a mix-up between other city staff and departments re...
