We also note the response to finding 7 may not have adequately addressed whether the juvenile hall is currently underutilized and whether money could be saved by addressing that fact.

The 2017-2018 Grand Jury continues to have grave concerns for Cambria residents and visitors and how the town can reduce its fire risk. On Monday, February 5, 2018, the Cambria Community Services District (CCSD) held an open meeting to discuss a proposal to replace an expiring Federal Grant which funds three full-time firefighters until March 2018. The proposal is to levy a $50 assessment per parcel (or a possible $85 per inhabited parcel assessment) within the CCSD area. This would generate approximately $300,000 per year to fund firefighters. This measure would appear on the June 5, 2018 ballot for Cambria voters to decide. No final decision has been made as of the date of this report. We believe the residents will want to keep their firefighters and make sure the hydrant inspection and maintenance program continues.

Commendations 1

• CM1
  We commend the Cambria Community Services District on establishing a testing and maintenance schedule for their fire hydrants, but we encourage the pace of the testing be picked up to ensure all hydrants are working. We also commend the County Department of Public Works for undertaking pilot programs for the use of the Design-Build approach to see if taxpayer money can be saved for County capital projects. We look forward to seeing the results of the pilot programs and what suggestions the Department makes to the Board of Supervisors. Submitted May 4, 2018 32 GRAND JURY REPORTS: DOOMED TO REPEAT? Finally, we commend the County Health Agency for their work with Community Action Partnership of San Luis Obispo County in bringing the residential detox facility (to serve Medi- Cal and less financially able citizens in San Luis Obispo County) closer to reality. Health Agency is working to meet the deadline they provided to the Grand Jury for Recommendation 1 from the 2016-2017 Residential Detox report. The Grand Jury has written a number of prior reports identifying the need for a residential detox facility in SLO County. SLO County staff is concerned recent federal changes to the Affordable Care Act may cause a reduction in reimbursements thereby affecting service levels and possibly resulting in the closure of the detox facility. Should this happen, we trust the SLO County Board of Supervisors will find the necessary funds to make up any shortfall.
