RESO. 92-05
RESPONSE TO THE GRAND JURY
Resolution 92-05 NCS approving the response to the 1991 Grand Jury Report. The
two topics of interest to the City that were addressed in the Grand Jury report are:
(1) The School district allocations from redevelopment agencies and (2) Low and
moderate income housing funds generated by redevelopment agencies. Many of the
Grand Jury comments appeared to have been based on minimal research with the
local jurisdictions. No one in the City of Petaluma reported having any contact by
this Jury regarding detail of the processes on which the Jury made observations and
recommendations.
City staff has met with the staff of other redevelopment agencies and with special
redevelopment counsel. They have developed a joint response to the Grand Jury
report. Although the 1991 Grand Jury has retired, the point response will be
forwarded to the Presiding Judge and to the Grand Jury files. The City Council
asked staff to offer some suggestions to enhance the effectiveness of the Grand Jury
process in future years. Introduced by Jack Cavanagh, seconded by Vice
Chairman Woolsey.
