The 1998-1999 Grand Jury has been interested in the ultimate disposition of the recommendations which would result from its formal audits and individual committee studies undertaken during its 12-month tenure. In keeping with this interest, a research and follow-up committee was formed and it was charged with the responsibility of reviewing Grand Jury recommendations, and the appropriate responses thereto, from the Board of Supervisors and various County agencies for the past five years. The purpose of this follow-up activity was to examine previous study areas in order to eliminate duplication of effort, benchmark the effectiveness of prior recommendations, and, as a result, to more clearly delineate meaningful areas of inquiry for our current Grand Jury.
