2012-13 Grand Jury Report, Riverside County Water and Sanitation*

Recommendations 2

  HGCWD partially disagrees with this recommendation. The HGCWD strictly enforces the California Public Records Act (CPRA) in providing access to records concerning the conduct of its customer's business. The HGCWD provides access to all records that are made public per the CPRA. Insofar as the HGCWD has ever withheld or redacted records, such was done in strict compliance with the authorization provided under the CPRA and the HGCWD has never been challenged for its refusal to provide records. As such, we believe the HGCWD adequately and fully complies with the CPRA and intends to do so at all times. In light of the HGCWD's scarce funds, paying to create and maintain a website in an area where the majority of the customers are of low income and may not have easy access to a computer with internet access does not seem to be a high priority. Additionally, HGCWD Board of Directors do not serve on any committees or sub- committees where the posting of FPPC Form 806 would seem warranted. Nevertheless, the HGCWD intends to continue to evaluate the opportunity and cost of creating and maintaining a website and, finances permitting, hopes to implement one in the future.
