Findings 39 findings

When developing new communities and housing projects, little consideration is paid to the healthcare needs of the increasing local population. Water, sewer, roads, electrical, and other utilities are mandated to be part of the development plan that is submitted to the city and/or County.

F1A

State Mandated Service Reimbursement Rates make it difficult for Regional Centers and their contracted service providers to hire and retain qualified staff.

F1B

The difficulty outlined in Finding #1A is compounded by the large numbers of multi-lingual Regional Center consumers which necessitates the hiring of multi- lingual case workers. In Los Angeles County, according to the US Census, non- English and bilingual speakers make up 56% of the population.40

There is no organized exchange of best practices among the major medical centers, even though they all face similar problems with crowding and APOT.84 84 In-person meeting with ED Medical, ED Nursing, and ED Public Health staff of LA General, November 13, 2024. 24

The length of the contract made between the County and EMT Companies is negotiated for a period of ten years. It is difficult to project increased costs for such a long period of time.

The City and County have Advanced Responder Transports, which include a Nurse Practitioner in the Paramedic Ambulances. The County and City Fire Departments initiated these programs on a trial basis, and reported that they were effective and life-saving. Unfortunately no statistics were available to determine the true efficacy of these programs.

The discharge process is lengthy and complicated, particularly for individuals with special needs. The ED operates on a 24/7 basis, but many other departments and supporting services do not. The discharge process includes assisting individuals with special needs, e.g. elderly patients, mental illness, and those who are unhoused.

A discharge lounge for patients without special needs helps to accelerate the discharge process for such patients. Such patients can be fast-tracked for a more speedy discharge.

Harbor-UCLA Medical Center ED has adopted the practice of having a nurse accompany an ER patient through a course of diagnostic procedures to expedite the collection of patient data for the eventual attending physician. This keeps the patient engaged in their own well-being and lessens the number of patients who leave without being seen. Studies have shown that patients who leave without being seen by a physician contribute to ER Crowding, and thus to extended APOT. 25

Ambulance emergency medical technicians are precluded from working within a hospital. However, County EMS indicated that Emergency Medical Technicians can be hired to work in the ER.

When an ED adds an additional triage station during peak hours, it helps to alleviate ER crowding later in the day and evening.85

F10

Physician or Surgeon assisted triage helps to optimize walk-in and trauma patients’ visits to the ER. Low severity walk-in patients can often be referred to an urgent care center after appropriate stabilization, and Physician assisted triage helps to optimize patient throughput. 85 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1755599X24000946, Accessed January 2, 2025 26

They draw their water from Well #1 which is pulled from the aquifer that is shared by several users. Well #1 is located near where the contaminants are concentrated. Since the water is contaminated, Amarillo Mutual purchases water from the San Gabriel water district for distribution to its customers.77 A superfund called the El Monte superfund was established to clean up the site of the contamination several years ago. It is called the El Monte superfund and is managed by San Gabriel Basin Water Quality Authority (WQA).78 The aquifer is swept by WQA periodically and the contaminants get moved to the North East end of the aquifer.77 Amarillo Mutual has installed an activated carbon filter to absorb the problematic chemicals from the water and it is working to bring down the numbers to an undetectable level.79 This costs the water district more than $1 million. Amarillo Mutual has applied for reimbursement from the California State Water Board but their application was denied.80 77 Interviewee from Amarillo Mutual Water Company, October 24, 2024 78 Source: https://wqa.com/about/, Accessed: December 16, 2024 79 Based on the water analysis data provided by Interviewee from Amarillo Mutual Water Co., November 4, 2024 80 Interviewee from Amarillo Mutual Water Co., October 24, 2024 35 )L/gu( tnuomA Tetrachloroethylene Content, Well 01 Sampling Date

Nitrate, perchlorate, carbon tetrachloride, and volatile organic compounds are found to be present in the water sources used by Lincoln Avenue Water Co. (PWSID: CA1910063; located in Altadena). In 2023 and 2024 analyses, the levels of these contaminants were below MCL (data not shown). Lincoln Avenue Water is using appropriate steps to resolve the problem. Treatment facilities were installed (ionic exchanger and granular activated carbon) to remove the VOCs.87 Hence, water being distributed by Lincoln Avenue Water to its consumers is up to the EPA and California standards. A possible source of the volatile organic compounds that are present in the district’s water wells is NASA JPL site.88 This has been considered a superfund site since the 1980s.89

Three wells in Land Projects Mutual Water Company (PWSID: CA1910246; 25 located in Lancaster) contains arsenic 20 15 levels that are above the maximum 10 contaminant level. This is highlighted in 5 Finding Figure 26.1. The wells also 0 contain nitrates but at a level below MCL (data not shown). Land Projects is using the three wells in rotation as a source of water. To remedy the arsenic problem, Land Projects also installed a 4th well with water treatment capability (i.e., absorption treatment).108 This will serve as the primary source of treated water. The water from the other wells will be blended in with the primary source to dilute the amount of arsenic. This way the blended water will meet the EPA standard of having arsenic level below the MCL threshold. The installation is almost done and will be operational by March or April 2025 Finding Figure 26.1.

In 2019, a resolution was passed by the Los Angeles County Board Supervisors supporting clean and safe water within the Sativa Water District and across California.127 The first provision in the resolution is the establishment of a Sativa Water System Special Fund in the electronic Countywide Accounting and Purchasing System to account for the former district’s accounting and budgetary activities as the Successor Agency for the dissolved water district. The Special Fund provides for the operation and maintenance of a reliable and high-quality water distribution system. The Jury looked at the financial records related to the Special Fund and the details are shown in Finding Table 32.1.

Between 1978 and 2006, Department of Water and Power (DWP; PWSID: CA1910067) cleaned and cement-lined approximately 2,600 miles of pipes in the City of Los Angeles.133 In addition, starting in 1998, DWP replaced low-lead water meters with lead-free water meters.134 These measures were taken to control corrosion and minimize lead exposures. In addition, DWP regularly took water samples for analysis of lead contamination, from different sites along the water distribution pipeline within the City of Los Angeles (see Finding Figure 33.1). To determine if lead is present in these pipelines, the Jury examined water analysis data provided by DWP to the Jury. Results of the analysis in 2024 are shown in Finding Table 33.1. The approximate location of the sampling sites are overlaid in Finding Figure 33.1. Overall, there was no detectable lead in the water samples taken from the distribution pipelines within Los Angeles city in 2024. Similar analyses performed in 2020 to 2023 had indicated no detectable levels of lead as well (data no shown). Finding Table 33.1.

In 2023, DWP implemented a lead and copper survey in the City of Los Angeles as part of its compliance with the Federal Lead and Copper Rule.135,136 DWP looked for volunteer customers who were residing in single family homes that were built between 1982 and 1987. Tap water from these homes was collected and analyzed for lead and copper. The result for lead is summarized in Finding Figure 34.1.137 The survey revealed that three out of 105 (90%) had lead content exceeding the actionable level (AL) of 15 ppb set by EPA. One sample contained lead at 5X the AL.

Per section 921 of the California Penal Code, the Civil Grand Jury is entitled to free access at all reasonable times to these facilities. It is the responsibility of the Detention Committee to ensure that the Civil Grand Jury makes a good faith effort to visit each of the detention facilities within the County of Los Angeles (County), and makes a record of each facility visited. ACTIVITIES In order to ensure that all detention facilities in the County could be visited, the Detention Committee must assign Civil Grand Jury members to groups, each group consisting of at least two members, and then assign each group to a subset of detention facilities within the County. A spreadsheet containing all such facilities was made, and was used to generate a list of facilities for each group. In addition, the same spreadsheet kept track of all facilities that were visited, the dates of visitations, and the group members who participated in each visit. The 2024-2025 Los Angeles County Civil Grand Jury Members formed seven groups. Each group was comprised of at least two jurors, and was responsible for visiting a subset of the detention centers within the County. In order to minimize travel requirements for individuals, each group represented a particular area of the County, and members were chosen for each group based on the proximity of their homes to the areas visited by the group. For example, the group that visited several detention facilities in the southern reaches of the County was comprised of jurors from Long Beach and San Pedro. Wednesdays were set aside as the day of the week on which detention facilities would be visited. On those Wednesdays that facilities were visited, each group was able to visit between four and six detention sites. Thus, between 28 and 42 sites could be visited each week. Over a period of weeks beginning August 21, 2024 and continuing until September 18, 2024, the Civil Grand Jury was able to physically 1 arrive at 128 detention locations, though not all could be visited. Some sites are no longer in use, and some are closed due to issues that preclude the housing of detainees for the present time. The table below lists the detention facilities and stations visited by the 2024-2025 Los Angeles County Civil Grand Jury. For the purpose of ease of reading, the table begins on the following page.

Department City PD For cities within the County other than Los Angeles which have their own police force, the local police department County County of Los Angeles COMMITTEE MEMBERS William Allen, Committee Chair Ken Jefferson, Committee Co-chair Terry Maynes, Committee Secretary Lee Jenkins 15 16 EDIT COMMITTEE REPORT According to California Penal Code 933 (a), each Civil Grand Jury shall submit a Final Report to the Presiding Judge of the Los Angeles Superior Court, which includes the findings, investigations, and the recommendations that concern the Los Angeles County government during the calendar year. DUTIES The 2024-2025 Los Angeles County Civil Grand Jury (Jury) is charged with thoroughly examining the submitted written contents of each Investigative and Standing Committee report before it is submitted to the Edit Committee for potential corrections. The Jury must approve the overall content of the report by a supermajority of its membership. Jury members are encouraged to submit their suggestions for grammatical, factual, and stylistic revisions to the Edit Committee once the content has been approved. The Edit Committee works with Jury members – at the Jury members’ requests – to solve any problems encountered in writing their reports. Once the document has been approved by the Jury, the Edit Committee meets with the committee that produced the original document to discuss any problems encountered during editorial review. The Edit Committee makes suggestions for changes to the written report in order to improve the presentation, but such changes are approved by the committee that created the report. All reports are compiled into the Final Report by the Publication Committee, which creates the layout for the printed proof of the Final Report.

ACRONYM Jury 2024-2025 Los Angeles County Civil Grand Jury COMMITTEE MEMBERS Bob Nathan, Committee Chair Jenalea Smith, Committee Co-chair Lee Jenkins, Committee Secretary Bill Allen Michele McKinley Margaret Hatfield Jesse Rhines 2 HOSPITALITY COMMITTEE REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Hospitality Committee is made up of six members of the Civil Grand Jury. The Hospitality Committee organized social events, provided beverages and supplies, and promoted collegiality among the members which allowed for a general feeling of togetherness and a friendly working environment. By general vote and agreement of the Grand Jury, the Committee established a monthly contribution amount for the general fund. The monies collected were used to buy needed supplies, monthly birthday celebrations and incidentals. Members of the Civil Grand Jury were assigned in teams of two, on rotation, for weekly clean-up duties. Holiday lunches were catered or celebrated in a local establishment. Birthday celebrations were marked with assorted bakery items and/or ice cream brought into the office lunch area. COMMITTEE MEMBERS Lynn Gidlow Co-Chair Margaret Hatfield Co-Chair Wayne Metcalf Co-Treasurer Terry Maynes Co-Treasurer Joel Floyd 1 2 INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY DUTIES The members of the 2024-2025 Los Angeles County Civil Grand Jury (CGJ) were provided touch-screen laptop computing devices, primarily for performing research using the global Internet, creating content to be shared within the CGJ, and creating, editing, and reviewing reports generated by the investigations carried out by the CGJ. The Information Technology Committee (IT) is a small collection of individuals who are experienced in the use of, and interaction with, the programs and operating system provided to the CGJ, and is responsible for assisting the Jury in using the platform and software. That is, IT has NO responsibility for implementing or maintaining information and networking systems, firewalls, databases, virtual private networks, computer hardware or operating system configuration, as one might be misled to expect given the common usage of the acronym IT. The basic responsibilities of IT are to explain things like how to store created content in appropriate locations on the server, how to save and retrieve information downloaded from the Internet, and how to integrate created content with content provided from other sources. In addition, IT was responsible for ensuring that all information stored on the local shared server is backed up on a regular basis. Finally, IT created the templates, agreed upon by the entire Jury, to ensure reports conform to an accepted format, so that the final publication has a uniform appearance. ACTIVITIES In the preceding section, we noted that content shared on the local server must be backed up regularly. IT chose to perform daily backups starting August 6, 2024. Lacking automation software, the backups are performed by copying from the server onto multi-terabyte USB hard drives. There is a complete backup of content and data that is accessible to Jury members for every day that the Jury was in session. IT began by backing up every afternoon, but as the time to back up the server increased beyond fifteen minutes per day, IT began coming in early and backing up before the Jury opened the daily session. This saved the previous day’s work, and did not sacrifice any part of the session during the day. To provide uniformity to reports, IT created templates for Microsoft Word documents that are inserted – by IT – into the Microsoft Word Templates subfolder within each juror’s Documents folder. The templates specify fonts, margins, spacing, and other formatting rules that were agreed upon by a super- majority of jurors. Templates for Standing Committee Reports, and for Investigative Reports were created and provided to Jury members before the writing of reports was begun. Most remaining activities consisted of instructive presentations, assistance to jurors with the usage of laptops and Microsoft Office software, and methodology for documents accepted by the Jury and submitted to the Edit Standing Committee. It was also the job of IT to recognize problems created by faulty hardware, and submit the information to CGJ administrators. RECOMMENDATIONS In order to obscure visibility to content supporting and created for Jury Investigations, the IT committee felt there should be a server volume that is exclusively available to the members of the Jury, and a separate volume that is used to share information between members of the Jury and the administrative staff. This provided a more effective method of keeping research and investigations confidential to the Jury. The new Microsoft SharePoint server was extremely helpful to providing a method that allowed external agencies to get information to the Jury in a way that is confidential and fast. We would ask the administration to consider using the SharePoint portal in a complementary way. SharePoint can be used to create a temporary location, available over the Internet, where an external agent, or external agents, may provide temporary login credentials to access files in the temporary location. This can be used to implement a method for getting documents to informants and agencies that is more secure than electronic mail, faster than postal mail, and in many cases more expedient and cheaper than hand delivery. Finally, on November 5, 2024, IT made a request to Grand Jury administration that the site http://grandjury.co.la.ca.us/ be replaced with a SSL secured site. We include a copy of the request in an appendix. The next Civil Grand Jury might follow-up on this request if it is of interest.
