• R1
  The Grand Jury recommends the financial advisor investigate the cost of attaching the Board of Supervisors salary to the cost of living adjustment (COLA), percentage, or consumer price index (CPI). ACTION: r Completed r Will Be Completed r Partly Completed x Not Completed Special Notation to this recommendation: The Board of Supervisor’s response listed an “Attachment #1 - Classification and Compensation Study” which was not included in their response letter to the judge. This attachment was requested several times with no response from the Board of Supervisors. The Grand Jury Foreperson hand-carried a letter of request for the missing attachment which the Foreperson received the same day as the letter delivery. The topic of a Supervisors salary raise was brought up by a supervisor during the interview with the Board of Supervisors, as they would like to see the Supervisors salary be attached to something as they had not received a raise in over 20 years.
• R2

  It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors investigate the cost to rectify the amount owed to PERS and begin paying the County’s portion. ACTION: r Completed r Will Be Completed r Partly Completed x Not Completed Special Notation to this recommendation: During investigating the County’s amount of CalPERS unfunded liability, it was found that the Grand Jury was misled and was provided misinformation throughout the investigation by the County Department of Finance. Initial information was provided to the Grand Jury by several Board members during the Grand Jury interview with the Board of Supervisors. It was reported by a Supervisor that the County had received a $3 million (plus) bill from CalPERS. The Supervisor stating that “We (the Board of Supervisors) don’t know how we are going to pay the bill.” After questioning a staff member from the Department of Finance three different times, the Grand Jury was led to believe the County was keeping up with the current costs to CalPERS but was behind in the payments to the unfunded liability. The member being questioned from the Department of Finance was questioned on the amount of the unfunded liability bill and future raises in costs for the next five years to the County; how the County was going to address this issue of nonpayment to the unfunded liability as well as the increase to the unfunded liability for the next five years. The Grand Jury suggested multiple of options to the Finance Department of how other statewide Counties were responding to the increase CalPERS rates, and the Finance Department personnel agree with those options as viable. The Finance Department led the Grand Jury to believe that the County was considering the need to raise taxes on the people of Glenn County to pay the unfunded liability; file bankruptcy on the venders of the county to include CalPERS or could possibly have the State take over the governmental running of the county all the while knowing the CalPERS Unfunded Liability and concurrent payments have been paid monthly from individual department funds. After the 2017-2018 Grand Jury Final Report was published in late June the same member from the Department of Finance continued providing misinformation in an interview early August. In early September, the same individual from the Finance Department stated to a Grand Jury member “By the way…, the County paid this year’s Unfunded Liability bill”. The Grand Jury member responded with, “That’s good. Where did the County get the money? All the Grand Jury wanted was truth and transparency from your department.”

For instance, the need for a medical room would need to have one desk, a filing cabinet, and possibly a simple bed instead of an examination table, five filing cabinets and three desks that is needed today. The library would need to have a limited amount of legal information instead the need for a larger or intense law library; and the booking room would not need to have a pressure room or several holding cells as needed today. Currently, the jail has become a jail to house both short-term and long-term inmates identified by Assembly Bill 109 as well as those sentenced and non-sentenced inmates. With the change in the jail holding requirements due to the AB109 inmates, the jail facility needs to be adapted to meet the needs and safety compliances that our community expects.
