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!

CL10

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.
