Facilities Management

Custodial Contracts and their compliance. Four vendor contract facilities were visited. The Grand Jury found these facilities satisfactorily complied with their contracts. The Facilities Management administration was also visited. Vendor files were provided to the Grand Jury for review. All files were checked against an internal checklist and everything was in order. A visitation to the Rancho Cucamonga Courthouse did establish one finding of concern. Supplies and equipment at this location are stored and maintained in a stairwell area near the main lobby. The stairway is in constant use by courthouse staff during working hours. This storage and work area is not conducive to a safe or secure work environment. The door to the stairwell opens onto the main lobby, and cleaning solutions are stored under employee traveled stairs. Facilities Management staff did advise the Grand Jury that their operational storage area has been moved to different locations over the years under the direction of the Court.
