Lack of time prevented us from implementing the consolidated index

R4Meet with the District Attorney at the earliest possible time to establish a firm work schedule which will set aside a reasonable amount of time each week during which no criminal or investigative hearings will be brought to the Grand Jury, the time to be utilized for the Jury's civil duties. The genesis of this recommendation is the fact that the D A preempted much more of our time than that of previous Grand Juries. As a result, civil duties had to be shelved or neglected. Many, many scheduled committee meetings were postponed, held on the run, squeezed in during lunch hour, convened after a long day in court or cancelled altogether. Consequently, almost none of the committees was able to complete their reports by the deadlines set early in our term. For this reason the '91-'92 Grand Jury Final Report will be published much later than appropriate. In making this recommendation we realize that criminal and investigatory hearings, by statute and case precedent, take priority over civil matters.
