• R1
  The Twin Pines Ranch should increase the camp population to capacity or even increase capacity to become cost effective. Management position concerning the recommendation: Concur Probation Department Response: The Probation Department has increased the camp population by combining the Ranch Program with the Youthful Offender Program (YOP) during the last fiscal year. The costs associated with the YOP are offset by the State Youthful Offender Block Grant allocation. As a result of the combined programs, the department anticipates the Ranch population to increase.
• R2

• R6
  The cold storage box should be completely replaced with a larger box. Stainless steel wire racks should be utilized inside to allow for cold air circulation and ease of inspection of containers. A recording thermometer should be installed. Management position concerning the recommendation: Concur Probation Department Response: As noted, the cold storage room is "cramped" or small. A larger room would be ideal but there is a lack of sufficient funds to expand this space. The Vocational Supervisor ensures that the Culinary Arts instructors adequately rotate food. All of the food is stored on available shelving. A paper log is currently being utilized to record the cold storage room temperature throughout the day.

If funding is not available for remodeling, the Sheriff's facility might be used on a permanent basis. Management position concerning the recommendation: Concur Probation Department Response: The table clothes have been replaced and there is now a regular replacement rotation. The "sneeze guards" have been replaced on the serving line. ₹.
