CL1The Grand Jury found that actions reported by responding agencies demonstrate a strong start to rethinking how fire and emergency services can be delivered to the county. Under the leadership of the Central Fire Protection District Chief, fire departments in the county have formed a consortium. The consortium will continue to explore and implement ways to cost effectively improve the operational efficiency and effectiveness of delivering of fire and emergency services in the county. The Grand Jury views the work of this consortium to be a prudent first step toward the County implementing Recommendations that will lead to constructive change. The Grand Jury considers the above actions, endorsed by town and city councils and the BOS through the participation of their fire departments in the consortium, to be good examples of the political will necessary to effect change. 5 West Jordan was identified in the Report as an example of regional consolidation that offers a benchmark for other fire departments considering consolidation. This report was PASSED and ADOPTED with a concurrence of at least 12 grand jurors on this 10^{th} day of May, 2012. Kathryn G. Janoff Foreperson Alfred P. Bicho Foreperson pro tem James T.
