This year\u2019s Grand Jury was composed of 19 dedicated citizens of Calaveras County who were determined and willing to work extra-long hours making recommendations for improvements to local government. It has been an unforgettable experience to work alongside these individuals who chose to prioritize tasks and duties in order to perform their jurisdictional rights to investigate any local government agencies. They also went far beyond my expectations in taking initiative to attend report writing workshops in Sacramento, the California Grand Juror\u2019s Association conference in Monterey, and additional meetings at the Jury House. Their dedication to the Grand Jury is noted and appreciated.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/new.thepinetree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Grand_Jury_Final_Report_2017-2018.pdf\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/new.thepinetree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/1718grandjury.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"674\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-62370\" srcset=\"https:\/\/new.thepinetree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/1718grandjury.jpg 640w, https:\/\/new.thepinetree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/1718grandjury-285x300.jpg 285w, https:\/\/new.thepinetree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/1718grandjury-570x600.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Click Above for The Full Grand Jury Report<\/p>\n<p>As an independent investigative body, we were faced with several challenges to acquire specific<br \/>\ninformation to get our reports done and reviewed in a timely manner; therefore, we would like to<br \/>\nthank the following County\u2019s appointed and elected officials for their guidance and mentorship<br \/>\nthroughout our year as grand jurors, and for helping us get through some of the roadblocks we<br \/>\nfaced while conducting our investigations: Calaveras County Counsel Megan Stedtfeld;<br \/>\nCalaveras Deputy County Counsel Julie L.
