It was found that small community areas, such as Capay, Lake, and Plaza do not have an opportunity for drop-in boxes. We agree with finding. The Elections Department has explored several locations to place additional drop-boxes. Our main objective is to have a safe and secure location for these boxes. Other than our permanent drop box that is located outside the main office, we have one other drop-box outside City Hall in Orland. This location was selected due to being under camera sur- veillance and its location is right outside the Orland Police Department. We will con- tinue to explore new secure locations to allow for additional drop-boxes during elections.

AMY TRAVIS Deputy Director O.E.S July 8, 2022 The Honorable Donald Cole Byrd Presiding Judge of the Superior Court, County of Glenn 526 W. Sycamore Street Willows, CA 95988 RE: Response to the 2021-2022 Glenn County Grand Jury Report Dear Judge Byrd: The members of the Glenn County Sheriff’s Office and I wish to thank the Grand Jury for their professionalism, exper- tise, and service to our community. It was a pleasure to work with Grand Jury members who were informed, objective, and involved in making our government and our community better. Pursuant to Penal Code section 933.05, please accept the following response in regard to “Animal Control and the Cost of Doing Business”: Finding F1 – We agree with the finding. Animal Control is currently operating two (2) pickups for their services. One of the vehicles has been equipped with lift gates to assist with putting the animals in the cages. A second gate will be ordered once the second Animal Control Officer position is filled. Finding F2 – We are unsure of the finding. The report states that unnamed persons were interviewed and gave different answers as to the cost they were charged for picking up a dead bat. Also, it was alleged that they were charging fees at their discretion, causing discrepancies. Finding F3 – We are unsure of the finding. Animal Control has been stationed in Willows for years. Finding F4 – We disagree with the finding. Finding F5 – We disagree with the finding.
