CO14 Page 8Sheriff-Coroner County of Sierra Tim Standley State of California 100 Courthouse Square/PO Box 66 Downieville CA 95936 (530)289-3700 Fax (530) 289-3318 RECEIVED SIERRA COUNTY SEP 2 2 2015 CLERK O THE SUPERIOR COURT cella September 18, 2015 Honorable John P. Kennelly Presiding Judge of the Sierra Superior Court 100 Courthouse Square, 2nd Floor P.O. Box 476 Downieville, CA 95936-0476 RE: Response to the 2014/2015 Grand Jury Report Dear Judge Kennelly, Pursuant to Section 933.05 of the California Penal Code, please see the below responses to the 2014/2015 Grand Jury Report as it relates to the sheriff's office and their annual inspection of the jail. I would like to extend my appreciation to this year's Grand Jury for their diligence and professionalism throughout this process. While the duties of the Grand Jurors may seem thankless, they are a necessary tool to provide an evaluation of current systems in the hopes of pinpointing areas for improvement that might otherwise be overlooked. My responses to this year's findings are listed below: F1: The Jail as a Type II Facility: In light of the recommendations in the jail Survey completed by Fred Campbell, continued deficiencies noted in the Annual BSCC Inspections and inability to fill corrections-communications positions to an acceptable level of security for inmates and officers alike. I notified the Board of Supervisors that effective March 17, 2015 the Sierra County Jail would function as a Temporary Holding Facility. F2: Jail Staffing: We have held several recruitments for the position of Corrections-Communications Officer in recent years. We have been unable to fill the positions for reasons that include a lack of competitive salary resulting in fewer applicants and applicants being unable to pass the background process. We are continuously accepting applications and anticipate holding interviews when a reasonable amount of applications are received to fill the remaining open positions. We are currently in the final stages of hiring an additional Corrections- Communications Officer with another position budgeted.

CO15 Page 9F3: Jail Heating System: The use of space heaters had been discontinued per a directive to staff on November 22, 2014 due to safety concerns. It was determined the lack of heat to the jail was due to the courthouse heat being turned off on Friday for the weekend and an unawareness by Plant Maintenance that it was affecting the jail facility. This was easily remedied once the cause was determined by not shutting off the heat prior to making the jail a Temporary Holding Facility. F4: Inmate Nutrition: Upon receiving the recommendation by the County Health Department during the annual inspection, we contracted a Certified Nutritionist, Danielle Yantis. We collaborated with her creating a permanent monthly jail menu which met the requirements per Title 15 which contained lower sodium and higher protein. This menu was implemented December 8, 2014. F5: Inmate Recreation Yard: Funding for fortification improvements to the outside Sally Port fence was previously requested from the CCP but has since been redirected towards staffing and inmate transport units. The Sally Port is no longer being utilized as an inmate recreation yard as the jail is no longer classified as a Type ll Facility. F6: Sierra Valley Substation Security Cameras: The security cameras at the substation have been replaced with new cameras. The cameras are functioning properly. F7: Sierra Valley Substation Rear Door: The weather-stripping on the rear door has been adjusted to close the air-gap between the door-frame and the door. Sincerely, Lin StulleyTIM STANDLEY Sheriff-Coroner Cc: Sierra County Board of Supervisors Sierra County Counsel Sierra County Grand Jury
