Findings and Recommendations 5 findings
F1
San Joaquin County needs to conduct cost-effective analysis on all property rental. The economic viability of construction versus continued rental should be evaluated on each location currently occupied by county staff.
No recommendations for this finding
F2
Permanent construction by County staff does not appear to be a viable option. The existing remodel of the vacant space initiated in 1994 is still not complete in 2003. All future construction should be put out to bid to the construction industry.
No recommendations for this finding
F3
The partially constructed partitions within existing space in the District Attorney=s office should be immediately completed. Partitions in those areas that will be occupied by attorneys or investigators should reach all the way from the floor to the ceiling to insure privacy.
No recommendations for this finding

The County Administrator should immediately request bids on the completion of the existing remodel of the vacant floor of the Courthouse. Subsequent construction on additional floor space in the Courthouse should be bid when that project is completed.
