We continue to recommend that all organizations create and regularly update formal records of the actions they take to address Grand Jury recommendations, and to share those records with the public, in accordance with CA Penal Code Section 933(c). (F1, F2) __ HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED – summarize what has been done HAS NOT YET BEEN IMPLEMENTED BUT WILL BE IN THE FUTURE – __ summarize what will be done and the timeframe REQUIRES FURTHER ANALYSIS – explain the scope and timeframe __ (not to exceed six months) _X_ WILL NOT BE IMPLEMENTED – explain why Required response explanation, summary, and timeframe: The Civil Grand Jury has, over the years, issued annual reports covering a wide variety of topics and issues, with a range of recommendations from the very granular (e.g., R6 “assign one individual responsible to cyber-security"), to very broad and general (e.g., R18 “demonstrate progress in working collaboratively with UCSC...”), some of which the City agrees with and others it does not. It is neither practical nor economically feasible for the City to create a formal record of all actions taken to “address Grand Jury recommendations,” as it would impose a substantial burden on City staff and resources over and above the cost and administrative burden of preparing responses to Grand Jury Reports, in the first instance, as required by Cal. Penal Code Section 933(c). Moreover, the recommendations the City agrees with would be implemented because the City agrees with them, and not because they “address Grand Jury recommendations.” Required Response from the Santa Cruz City Council Honoring Commitments to the Public Due by September 5, 2023 2022-2023 Consolidated Final Report with Responses 399
