F1
A large majority of recommendations resulting from YCGJ investigations have been responded to positively by local government officials and entities, and most responses indicate that recommendations will be implemented, either in full or in part. Yolo County Administrator and County Counsel response: The respondents agree that the County generally implements the grand jury’s recommendations, with exceptions as noted in the text of the report.

R1
By December 1, 2015, the Yolo County CAO shall work with the Yolo County Counsel to develop a single tracking system for grand jury findings, recommendations, responses and the ongoing status of each item. During the development of this system, consideration should be given to the future ability to release this information in a public document on an annual basis. Yolo County Administrator and County Counsel response: This recommendation will not be implemented because it is not warranted. The County Administrator’s Office has managed a single tracking system for several years, consistent with this recommendation. No further action appears necessaryto implement this recommendation. Additional Comments: In accordance with Penal Code Section 933.05(f), grand jury reports are provided to affected agencies two working days prior to their public release. Upon reviewing a draft version of the report discussed in this letter, County representatives called the Grand Jury to request a discussion about inaccuracies in the report. That call was not returned until moments before the report was made public. The County hopes that future grand juries will confer with local agencies at their request before releasing a report that may contain inaccuracies of the sort mentioned above. Nonetheless, we expect that this letter has clarified that existing County practices conform to the recommendationsoffered by the grand jury. of 2
