R4Page 34The Grand Jury recommends the Board of Supervisors have an outside auditor provide a non- biased report in recommending areas throughout the County where financial savings are possible. ACTION: r Completed r Will Be Completed r Partly Completed x Not Completed Special Notation: 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.” 15 2018-2019 Grand Jury Final Report Responses to the Grand Jury Reports 2018-2019 Glenn County Grand Jury Report | 2017-2018 Grand Jury Response Reports 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 agreed 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 were being paid monthly from individual department funds. In latter June the 2017-2018 Grand Jury Report was release to the public, and in early August the same member from the Department of Finance continued this misinformation. In early September, the Director of Finance stated to a Grand Jury member that the County paid this year’s Unfunded Liability to CalPERS. The Grand Jury member responded that all the Grand Jury wanted was truth and transparency. SECTION: ORLAND Airport, Haigh Field Follow-up to 2015-2016 Grand Jury Report; therefore, the Board of Supervisors was not requested to reply to the findings and recommendations to this report.
