The Board of Supervisors is uncertain about the meaning of this recommendation and consequently cannot implement it. Penal code Section 9ir sets forth the oath that each member of the Grand Jury is required to take and Section 929 deals with the ability of the Grand Jury to make evidentiary material and other material available to the public.

The Board of Supervisors disagrees in part with this finding. As mentioned in a separate report to the Grand Jury, the Chevron Project was not rushed. The Chewon Project appeared on the agenda ofthe Board of Supervisors five times over a seven month period, was discussed during a publicly-noticed Board Committee meeting, and was the subject of a public Board Study Session and, two weeks later, a noticed Public Hearing. The proposed use of airport property was ultimately changed to the Acacia Avenue site in the Tovrn of Sutter, while options for the Mental Health array are being considered. tlltimately, delays to the Mental Health array have added time and some expense to the project related to storing purchased solar equipment.
