The 2004-2005 Grand Jury Final Report pointed out that many individuals who paid their fees have not been annexed by the YCWD, some for over 20 years. At a recent meeting, the YCWD’s legal counsel suggested returning the money these individuals. This type of action does not consider the people who have paid their fees in good faith, or the loss of interest or devaluation of their money.

The YCWD may potentially be violating the rights of the non-annexed individuals.

The 2005-2006 Yuba County Grand Jury Special District members have noted three members talking among themselves. They appear to be conducting “Serial Meetings” which would be in violation of the Brown Act. (Potential violations of the Brown Act were also noted in the 2004-2005 Grand Jury Final Report.)
