Grand Jury Website: Board Response

The Board disagrees with five findings and partly disagrees with the application finding, citing existing website sections. It promises a foreman onboarding review of the website-change agreement, narrower than expressly committing to the jury’s joint annual review with the Court.

How to read this audit

Editorial review measures engagement and finding-response document completeness, not legal compliance, truth, or verified implementation. Citations use physical PDF pages. The Board attachments retain “Initial Draft Response” introductory wording; the supplied collection notes record Board approval, not independent court receipt. Collection provenance records July 21, 2026 approval. The report itself describes an in-term update on PDF page 7, so report and response descriptions should not be treated as observations of the same unchanged website.

Assessments describe whether the response engages each cited item. Finding scores separately describe statutory-elements completeness under California Penal Code § 933.05(a) and public usefulness. They do not independently verify the response or constitute a legal conclusion.

Interview information

Audit: Addressed

Response says

The Board wholly disagrees, citing “What to Expect in a Civil Grand Jury Interview” and its structure, duration, confidentiality, and follow-up guidance.

Audit analysis

A whole-disagreement position and a named website section directly address the finding. The described content and service agreement are checkable bases, not an independent archived-site comparison.

Jury role and authority

Audit: Addressed

Response says

The Board wholly disagrees, citing the landing page’s explanation of what a jury is, its role, and how it operates.

Audit analysis

The named landing page and content-change agreement support the explanation. The response addresses role and operation but does not separately explain the finding’s authority and comprehensiveness concerns.

Eligibility for service

Audit: Addressed

Response says

The Board wholly disagrees, citing eligibility requirements and disqualifications in the “Apply to Join” tab.

Audit analysis

Whole disagreement, the specific location, and eligible/ineligible content address the finding. Page 3 continues the IT posting process. This score does not verify the website at the time investigated.

Application procedures and timelines

Audit: Addressed

Response says

The Board partly disagrees: application information is posted during the open period, but application-procedure timelines are absent; jury-service term dates are present.

Audit analysis

The accepted timeline gap and disputed absence of application information are distinguished, with a named tab and open-period condition. The explanation directly covers both propositions.

Contact and complaint guidance

Audit: Addressed

Response says

The Board wholly disagrees, naming contact and complaint tabs with phone, mailing, email, and submission information.

Audit analysis

Named sections and contact modes supply specific reasons and a checkable basis. The response identifies existing guidance, while inviting requests about alternative placement rather than independently establishing prominence.

Additional public resources

Audit: Addressed

Response says

The Board wholly disagrees, citing a separate “Resources” tab and the established process for adding content.

Audit analysis

The separate section directly contradicts the alleged absence, and the named tab is traceable. Resource contents are not detailed, limiting explanatory specificity rather than the position elements.

recommendation · R1

Annual website review with jury and Court

County: Will be implementedAudit: Partially addressed

Response says

IT will meet the incoming foreman after onboarding to review the website-change service agreement; the jury may request changes during its term.

Audit analysis

The response selects future implementation and supplies an onboarding trigger. It does not expressly commit to the recommended joint consultation with the Court or an annual substantive website review; reviewing the service agreement is narrower.

Extracted commitments

Review the IT Service Level Agreement for requesting website changes with the incoming jury foreman.
