Recommendations 14
-
R1Page 13Follow up to be sure the surveillance panel is repaired. The ICJH Committee suggests that the population would be better served by using the back part of the facility where surveillance is functioning.
-
R2Page 13No recommendation regarding modesty panels. Work has been completed.
-
R3Page 13We felt that a little paint and counter top repair would make a much better appearance. Ceilings also needed painting.
-
R4Page 13The ICJH Committee suggests that door stoppers be used to hold doors open and books be put back on the shelves.
-
R5Page 21The WPD should work with the City of Westmorland and consider if it is feasible to have a joint public safety building in conjunction with the fire department, or consider if there would be another location better suited to the needs of a law enforcement agency. There may be assisting funds available for a combined building not available to the smaller department.
-
R6Page 21The WPD should work with the City of Westmorland and the State of California to determine if the installation of traffic lights would increase safety.
-
R7Page 24The IID continues to work with all future Grand Juries as well as they had with this one.
-
