Findings 11 findings

The CGJ found that change in the executive-level management has resulted in improved transparency, staff morale, and cooperation with outside agencies.

Current First 5 LA executive management has been responsive to the audit findings and recommendations.

First 5 LA has made significant progress in implementing the audit

Individuals on LC 4850 leave may seek ways to manipulate the program’s rules and regulations to gain more than one year of benefits.

The American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (ACOEM) pub- lishes researched and tested guidelines covering on-the-job injuries and effective quality of care, reduction of unnecessary medical procedures, and full health restora- tion recommendations. These standards are included in the Medical Treatment Utili- zation Schedule (MTUS). The standards are used by several of the counties sur- veyed by the CGJ.

The Sheriff’s Department often uses sworn officers to transport injured workers to scheduled appointments with physicians.

The Sheriff’s Department often uses sworn officers to conduct drive-by surveillance of officers assigned to their homes as part of their LC 4850 injury recovery plans.

Data provided by the County’s Risk Management Branch of the Chief Executive Of- fice suggests that individual safety workers may view the benefits of the LC 4850 2011-2012 LOS ANGELES COUNTY CIVIL GRAND JURY FINAL REPORT 139 LABOR CODE §4850 program as an entitlement, and make efforts to gain LC 4850 status just prior to their planned retirement dates, thereby increasing their final retirement benefits. 8

Discussions with the County’s Risk Management Branch suggest that on occasion an injured safety worker remains on LC 4850 status after clear evidence is available to indicate that the worker’s disability will prevent him from ever returning to perfor- mance of his duties.

The Antelope Valley Regional Office of the Coroner is over 25 years old. It does not meet the need for Coroner services in the high desert.

F11

The Coroner’s security system should be updated in light of the extreme sensitivity of the Coroner’s forensic operations. 2011–2012 LOS ANGELES COUNTY CIVIL GRAND JURY FINAL REPORT 149 CORONER

Recommendations 11

R1

2: Child rights. The BOS, CEO, and the Director of DCFS should take steps for Los Angeles County to become a national leader in the promotion and perpetuation of children’s rights and adopt and maintain a charter for children’s rights. DCFS currently has a children’s rights charter specifically for children in its care in the child welfare system, but the County does not have one for all children. The United States is one of only three countries, including Somalia and South Sudan, which has not joined the international community in supporting the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), an international human rights treaty setting out the civil, polit- ical, economic, social, health, and cultural rights of children. The County of Los Angeles is often known nationwide as a trend-setter and a leader on social issues. Children’s rights should be one of these areas. Although the United States has not adopted the CRC, the County of Los Angeles should reaffirm and pro- mote its own child rights charter as an example for the nation. Children’s rights to a safe and nurturing upbringing should be a societal commitment. 1.2.1. The Director of DCFS should ensure the County’s child rights’ charter for chil- dren in its care is updated and operational within DCFS. The updated charter should also include tighter definitions of what constitutes psychological, emotional, or verbal abuse; neglect; and failure to thrive and are 194 2011–2012 LOS ANGELES COUNTY CIVIL GRAND JURY FINAL REPORT CHILD DEATH MITIGATION consistent with existing penal code definitions. Once tighter definitions and ex- pectations are developed, the BOS will have the ability to lobby for improved leg- islation. This updated charter will help clarify DCFS’s expectations of staff as they carry out their duties. 1.2.2. Although DCFS reports directly to the BOS, the BOS should direct the CEO and involved cluster Deputy CEOs to work with DCFS and the other County depart- ments to develop a children’s rights charter for the BOS to review, refine, and adopt.
R2

6. A check list for child death investigations. The Coroner, working with law enforcement officials and the Director of DCFS, should develop a check list for law enforcement and DCFS staff of unique factors to look for in child death cases. To address reports that law enforcement officers and DCFS staff members have varying levels of experience and skill in investigating child deaths, a new comprehensive check list could be a first step toward standardization of this important procedure and would provide a valuable training tool that could be improved over time.
R3

1. A 23-hour assessment center. The Director of DCFS should evaluate the potential for implementing a 23-hour assessment center for children who are at risk, and seek BOS approval based on the results of that evaluation. Such assessment centers, similar to Orangewood in Orange County, California, are staffed with skilled professionals, similar to DCFS CSWs, DMH psychiatric social work- ers, and DPH public health nurses. They can build trust and assess the child in a safe environment, and are more likely to make accurate assessments and appropriate placements if deemed necessary. This recommendation is similar to one made by the CGJ in 1999-2000. (Note: The in- tent of this recommendation is not to replicate the McLaren model of the past.) Given the size of the County, DCFS should pilot one 23-hour assessment center and, once fully operational, evaluate its relative effectiveness and determine if additional centers are warranted.
R4

1. DCFS technology and information system improvements. The Director of DCFS should work with the State of California to close the gap in the Department’s information needs and propose operational improvements to the systems, particularly interfaces with the State and County systems. This information should then be integrated into DCFS’s own Information Technology (IT) Plan with quick milestones – six months or less – for enhancing access to information critical to effective DCFS operations. A DCFS IT Plan should also outline needed: • Report writing tools • Key performance indicators, metrics, and dashboards for monitoring performance and outcomes • Standard management reports for analyzing data, identifying trends, and making empirically based decisions • Priorities for approaching the State for system upgrades and refinements, making access to needed data and information easier
R5

All charter cities reviewed in this report should adopt a method and practice of sav- ing into a reserve or “rainy day” fund to be supplement operating revenue in years of short fall.
R6

Charter cities should develop and adopt a strategic plan that articulates the mission, vision, core values and priorities (goals and objectives) for the City. The following cities should develop and adopt such a strategic plan: Arcadia, Compton, Industry, Inglewood.
R7

Charter cities should develop and report on performance measures or indicators to evaluate outcomes or progress on priorities. These performance measures should be quantified, focused on outcomes or results, and information should be provided for several years to allow evaluation of progress over time. The following cities should develop such performance measures for indicators: Arcadia, Bell, Compton, Industry, Inglewood, Lancaster, Temple City.
R8

Charter city councils should continue to maintain a governance policy that specifical- ly defines the relationship between the council and executive. Charter city councils should continue providing specific annual goals for the city’s executive (City Manag- er or City Administrator) and conduct meaningful evaluations annually. The following cities should do so: Alhambra, Bell, Industry, Inglewood, Lancaster. 56 2011–2012 LOS ANGELES COUNTY CIVIL GRAND JURY FINAL REPORT CHARTER CITIES – RECOMMENDATIONS
R9

Charter cities should formally establish an audit committee making it directly respon- sible for the work of the independent auditor. The following cities should formally establish an audit committee: Alhambra, Arcadia, Bell, Cerritos, Compton, Industry, Inglewood, Irwindale, Palmdale, Pomona, Santa Monica, Signal Hill, Temple City, Torrance, Whittier.
R10

All charter cities reviewed in this report should continue requiring compliance with standards of independence for the external auditor. Cities that do not currently se- lect the auditor through a competitive process should do so. Cities that allow the auditor to provide non-audit services should ensure appropriate review and approval of those services.
R11

Charter cities should review and update accounting policies and procedures to en- sure they are appropriately detailed and define the specific authority and responsibility of employees. Cities should also establish a policy requiring policies and procedures to be reviewed annually and updated at least once every three years. The following cities should review and update accounting policies and proce- dures at least once every three years: Alhambra, Arcadia, Bell, Burbank, Industry, Inglewood, Lancaster, Pasadena, Pomona, Santa Monica, Temple City.

Conclusions 10

CL1

Urban Water Management Planning Act (Water Code Section 10630 et. Seq.) requires that a water supplier prepare a plan for optimizing the use of recycled water in the sup- plier's service area, including actions to facilitate the installation of dual distribution sys- tems, to promote recirculating uses, to facilitate the increased use of treated wastewater that meets recycled water standards, and to overcome any obstacles to achieving that increased use.
CL2

According to State law, “It is hereby declared that the people of the state have a primary interest in the development of facilities to recycle water containing waste to supplement existing surface and underground water supplies and to assist in meeting the future wa- ter requirements of the state” (Wat. Code § 13510). The state strengthens its purpose by stating in the Water Code that under certain conditions the use of potable water for nonpotable purposes is a waste or unreasonable use of water if recycled water is availa- ble (Wat. Code § 13550 et seq.).
CL3

State Recycled Water Act: requires the use of 1M af of recycled water by 2020 and 2M af of recycled water statewide by 2030.
CL4

State Recycled Water Policy: the State Water Resources Control Board has adopted a recycled water policy. The Policy’s stated goal is to use as much recycled water as pos- sible. The State Board is the ultimate approving agency for all recycled water projects.
CL5

State Water Resources Control Board also requires recycled water use as a part of their waste discharge requirements. In 1984, the State Water Board issued Water Quality Or- der No. 84-7 expressing the intent that, pursuant to California Water Code, Section 13142.5(e), in cases where discharges of wastewater to the ocean are proposed in “wa- ter-short” areas, the report of waste discharge should include an explanation as to why the effluent is not being recycled for further beneficial use (SWQCB, 1984).
CL6

SBx7-7 mandates that urban water suppliers reduce statewide water use (in gallons per capita per day) of 10 percent by 2015 and 20 percent by 2020 (20x2020). Methods of complying with SBx7-7 include enhanced water conservation, water use efficiency, and recycled water use.
CL7

Grant eligibility, the Department of Water Resources conditions any grant application on a demonstration, through the documentation in an approved Urban Water Management Plan, that the water provider is on target to meet its 20x2020 goals including the use of recycled water.
CL8

Integrated Regional Water Management Planning, the awarding of grants is predicated on the grantee agreeing to the follow term in the Department of Water Resources Grant Agreement: Since the Grantee’s IRWM region (region) receives water supplied from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta (Delta), then the region’s IRWM Plan (existing or any fu- ture update) must help reduce dependence on the Delta for water supply. Other than conservation, the primary way to reduce this dependence is through the substitution of recycled water for potable supplies. 2011–2012 LOS ANGELES COUNTY CIVIL GRAND JURY FINAL REPORT 385 386 2011–2012 LOS ANGELES COUNTY CIVIL GRAND JURY FINAL REPORT (cid:38)(cid:38)(cid:44)(cid:44)(cid:55)(cid:55)(cid:44)(cid:44)(cid:61)(cid:61)(cid:40)(cid:40)(cid:49)(cid:49) (cid:38)(cid:38)(cid:50)(cid:50)(cid:48)(cid:48)(cid:51)(cid:51)(cid:47)(cid:47)(cid:36)(cid:36)(cid:44)(cid:44)(cid:49)(cid:49)(cid:55)(cid:55)(cid:29)(cid:29) (cid:38)(cid:38)(cid:44)(cid:44)(cid:55)(cid:55)(cid:60)(cid:60) (cid:50)(cid:50)(cid:41)(cid:41) (cid:47)(cid:47)(cid:50)(cid:50)(cid:49)(cid:49)(cid:42)(cid:42) (cid:37)(cid:37)(cid:40)(cid:40)(cid:36)(cid:36)(cid:38)(cid:38)(cid:43)(cid:43) (cid:56)(cid:56)(cid:81)(cid:81)(cid:73)(cid:73)(cid:88)(cid:88)(cid:81)(cid:81)(cid:71)(cid:71)(cid:72)(cid:72)(cid:71)(cid:71) (cid:51)(cid:51)(cid:72)(cid:72)(cid:81)(cid:81)(cid:86)(cid:86)(cid:76)(cid:76)(cid:82)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:81)(cid:15)(cid:15) (cid:53)(cid:53)(cid:72)(cid:72)(cid:87)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:76)(cid:85)(cid:85)(cid:72)(cid:72)(cid:80)(cid:80)(cid:72)(cid:72)(cid:81)(cid:81)(cid:87)(cid:87) (cid:36)(cid:36)(cid:74)(cid:74)(cid:72)(cid:72)(cid:15)(cid:15) (cid:51)(cid:51)(cid:76)(cid:76)(cid:70)(cid:70)(cid:78)(cid:78)(cid:88)(cid:88)(cid:83)(cid:83) (cid:51)(cid:51)(cid:72)(cid:72)(cid:81)(cid:81)(cid:86)(cid:86)(cid:76)(cid:76)(cid:82)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:81) (cid:38)(cid:38)(cid:50)(cid:50)(cid:48)(cid:48)(cid:48)(cid:48)(cid:44)(cid:44)(cid:55)(cid:55)(cid:55)(cid:55)(cid:40)(cid:40)(cid:40)(cid:40) (cid:48)(cid:48)(cid:40)(cid:40)(cid:48)(cid:48)(cid:37)(cid:37)(cid:40)(cid:40)(cid:53)(cid:53)(cid:54)(cid:54) (cid:37)(cid:37)(cid:82)(cid:82)(cid:69)(cid:69)(cid:69)(cid:69)(cid:76)(cid:76) (cid:48)(cid:48)(cid:76)(cid:76)(cid:79)(cid:79)(cid:79)(cid:79)(cid:72)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:85) (cid:164)(cid:164) (cid:38)(cid:38)(cid:75)(cid:75)(cid:68)(cid:68)(cid:76)(cid:76)(cid:85)(cid:85) (cid:47)(cid:47)(cid:72)(cid:72)(cid:68)(cid:68)(cid:75)(cid:75) (cid:57)(cid:57)(cid:17)(cid:17) (cid:42)(cid:42)(cid:85)(cid:85)(cid:68)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:81)(cid:82)(cid:82)(cid:73)(cid:73) (cid:48)(cid:48)(cid:68)(cid:68)(cid:74)(cid:74)(cid:71)(cid:71)(cid:68)(cid:68)(cid:79)(cid:79)(cid:72)(cid:72)(cid:81)(cid:81)(cid:72)(cid:72) (cid:60)(cid:60)(cid:17)(cid:17) (cid:43)(cid:43)(cid:82)(cid:82) (cid:36)(cid:36)(cid:81)(cid:81)(cid:76)(cid:76)(cid:87)(cid:87)(cid:68)(cid:68) (cid:47)(cid:47)(cid:17)(cid:17) (cid:58)(cid:58)(cid:82)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:81)(cid:74)(cid:74) 61 egaP MP 31:4 2102/11/6 SBAT YTNUOCAL:sbaT 4 Long Beach

The function of the Continuity Committee is primarily archival and organizational, main- taining legally-mandated records and passing on to each succeeding CGJ an orderly library and filing system of investigated agencies. The CC found that it was able to make productive use of some of the information left behind by previous CGJ. However, rather than directly following the previously established tracking system, the revised tabular format included here was created for the recording of responses from public agencies that more closely matches the actual language expressed in CPC §933.05. 404 2011–2012 LOS ANGELES COUNTY CIVIL GRAND JURY FINAL REPORT CONTINUITY COMMITTEE Responses s n t o n a t i d n t e m e Report Title P a g e Agency c o m m e n d A g r e e D i s a g r e e m p l e m e n t e l l I m p l e m e o r e s p o n s n o t I m p l e R e I W i N i l l W 1a 1 1b 2 5 1c 3 Post Adoptions Services - DCFS 1d 4 Where are you? 2 5 6 3 6 4 7 1 8 9 City of Long 2 A Whistleblower's Complaint 15 Beach 3 10 4 11 Alhambra PD 1 12 Bell PD 1 13 27 Bell Gardens PD 1 14 Beverly Hills PD 1 15 Burbank PD 1 16 Covina PD 1 17 Gardena PD 1 18 Glendale PD 1 19 E-Subpoena - One Way to End Glendora PD 1 20 the Paper Chase Huntington Park 1 PD 21 28 LAFD 1 22 LAUSD PD 1 23 Manhattan Beach 1 PD 24 Monrovia PD 1 25 Monterey Park PD 1 26 2011–2012 LOS ANGELES COUNTY CIVIL GRAND JURY FINAL REPORT 405 CONTINUITY COMMITTEE Responses s n t o n a t i d n t e m e Report Title P a g e Agency c o m m e n d A g r e e D i s a g r e e m p l e m e n t e l l I m p l e m e o r e s p o n s n o t I m p l e R e I W i N i l l W Pasadena PD 1 27 Redondo Beach 1 PD 28 San Fernando PD 1 29 San Gabriel PD 1 30 South Pasadena 1 PD 31 E-Subpoena - One Way to End Torrance PD 1 32 28 the Paper Chase West Covina PD 1 33 Whittier PD 1 34 Inglewood City 2 Atty 35 LAPD 3 36 3 37 LASD 4 38 DA 5 39 1a 40 1b 41 DA 1c 42 1d 43 1e 44 45 High Tech Forensics and 2a 43- Cyber Security Crime Fighting 2b 46 44 Arcadia PD in the Digital Age 2c 47 2d 48 2a 49 2b 50 Beverly Hills PD 2c 51 2d 52 406 2011–2012 LOS ANGELES COUNTY CIVIL GRAND JURY FINAL REPORT CONTINUITY COMMITTEE Responses s n t o n a t i d n t e m e Report Title P a g e Agency c o m m e n d A g r e e D i s a g r e e m p l e m e n t e l l I m p l e m e o r e s p o n s n o t I m p l e R e I W i N i l l W 2a 53 2b 54 LAPD 2c 55 2d 56 2a 57 2b 58 Culver City PD 2c 59 2d 60 2a 61 2b 62 Downey PD 2c 63 2d 64 2a 65 2b 66 Glendale PD 2c 67 High Tech Forensics and 68 43- 2d Cyber Security Crime Fighting 44 2a 69 in the Digital Age 2b 70 LASD 2c 71 2d 72 2a 73 2b 74 Santa Monica PD 2c 75 2d 76 2a 77 2b 78 Monrovia PD 2c 79 2d 80 2a 81 82 Redondo Beach 2b PD 2c 83 2d 84 2011–2012 LOS ANGELES COUNTY CIVIL GRAND JURY FINAL REPORT 407 CONTINUITY COMMITTEE Responses s n t o n a t i d n t e m e Report Title P a g e Agency c o m m e n d A g r e e D i s a g r e e m p l e m e n t e l l I m p l e m e o r e s p o n s n o t I m p l e R e I W i N i l l W 2a 85 2b 86 Torrance PD 2c 87 88 43- 2d 44 2a 89 2b 90 High Tech Forensics and Whittier PD 2c 91 Cyber Security Crime Fighting 2d 92 in the Digital Age 3a 93 LAC CIO 3b 94 95 Auditor / 3a 44 Controller 3b 96 4 97 BOS 5 98 55 1 99 2 100 101 Education Based Incarceration 3 LASD - Hope for Tomorrow 56 4 102 5 103 6 104 1 105 2 106 3 107 Uncollected Medical Bills in the 4 108 County's Three Major Medical 5 109 Facilities: Free County 69 LAC DHS 6 110 Healthcare - Easier Than You 7 111 Think! 8 112 9 113 10 114 408 2011–2012 LOS ANGELES COUNTY CIVIL GRAND JURY FINAL REPORT CONTINUITY COMMITTEE Responses s n t o n a t i d n t e m e Report Title P a g e Agency c o m m e n d A g r e e D i s a g r e e m p l e m e n t e l l I m p l e m e o r e s p o n s n o t I m p l e R e I W i N i l l W 1 115 92 2 116 3 117 93 4 118 119 94 5 120 96 6 7 121 City of Los Angeles Dept. of 105 8 122 Water & Power - LADWP 9a 123 Who's Really in the Dark? 9b 124 111 9c 125 9d 126 116 10 127 117 11 128 129 123 12 130 124 13 1 131 2 132 3 133 Sub-Acute Health Facilities - 4 134 Is the Fox Inspecting the 137 LAC DPH 5 135 Henhouse? 6a 136 6b 137 6c 138 The Six Pods of Module 172: 1 139 The Most Dangerous Cells in 146 LASD the County - Whaddya' Mean, 2 No Cameras? 140 2011–2012 LOS ANGELES COUNTY CIVIL GRAND JURY FINAL REPORT 409 CONTINUITY COMMITTEE Responses s n t o n a t i d n t e m e Report Title P a g e Agency c o m m e n d A g r e e D i s a g r e e m p l e m e n t e l l I m p l e m e o r e s p o n s n o t I m p l e R e I W i N i l l W 1a 141 1b 142 169 1c 143 1d 144 1e 145 1f 146 170 Port of Los Angeles BOHC 1g 147 1h 148 1i 149 1j 150 171 1k 151 2 152 3 153 154 Preferential Parking 1 177 DOT (Permit Street Parking) 2 155 1 156 2 157 3 158 4 159 160 Transition Age Youth (TAY) DCFS & 5 198 Journey LAC Probation 6 161 7 162 8 163 9 164 10 165 1a 166 Whoa!

DETENTION COMMITTEE INTRODUCTION California Penal Code §919(b) charges the Civil Grand Jury (CGJ) with the duty of in- quiring into the conditions and management of the public detention facilities within its designated County. The 2011-2012 CGJ focused on the Los Angeles County detention facilities that were not inspected by the 2010-2011 CGJ. Also inspected were those de- tention facilities that were noted in previous CGJ reports as unsatisfactory in some sig- nificant manner, as well as those facilities that were found to be excellent in 2010-2011.
