Reason for Investigation a request was made by the San Joaquin County Criminal Grand Jury to investigate

Conclusions 2

• CL1
  Mandated State and Federal laws are not adhered to. No Smoking signs posted in the Mental Health Building courtyard are ignored. Current Employment and Discrimination regulations are to be prominently posted in a central location for employees. The only posting found in the Conservator's office was a 1993 Federal regulation. It is the belief of the SJCCGJ that the issues stated above leave an overall impression of lack of direction from top management. The San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors has a responsibility to see that the appropriate department responds to audit recommendations. No response was made regarding the June 2000 Audit to the Controller's office. Only after repeated attempts to determine if a response had been sent to the Board Supervisors was the Grand Jury successful. Had the recommendations of the Audit been implemented (W/P# K2), "All payment claims must always be approved by the Public Conservator or his deputy", the alleged embezzlement may not have taken place.
