2000-2001 Grand Jury Foreman’s Report
Honorable Judge Harry Tobias:
As required per sections 928 and 933 of the California Penal Code, on behalf of
the San Benito County Grand Jury, we take great pride and pleasure in presenting
you our final report. We are honored to have served the citizens and officials of
San Benito County.
I, personally, am pleased to have served on both the present grand jury and the
1999-2000 grand jury along with repeat members Kathleen MacWilliamson and
Jose Martinez. I have become acquainted with some very fine, outstanding people
who bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to this panel. All the members
have dedicated an enormous amount of time for little reward other than wanting to
better their community.
The Grand Jury, which is comprised of nineteen members, met bimonthly, and
each of the various committees met at least that often. Additionally, the
committees made visits to the various departments within the County of San
Benito, City of Hollister, and City of San Juan Bautista. Committee reports
gleaned from those visits are included in the body of this report.
I, along with all the members of the Grand Jury, would like to thank all the
officials of the various departments for their assistance in producing this
report. We would like to especially thank Judge Harry Tobias, Judge Thomas Breen,
Judge Steve Sanders, District Attorney Harry Damkar, and County Counsel Karen
Forcum for their advice and guidance. The Grand Jury could not have completed its
arduous task without their help.
Respectfully submitted,
Royce McFadden, Foreman
San Benito County Grand Jury
