Got a Complaint about Capitola? Tell It to The Grand Jury

Do you have a problem with the way things run with the Capitola city government? Did you know there's actually an official body to field your complaint and look into it? 

The Santa Cruz County Grand Jury is a group of 19 local citizens that investigates citizen complaints and publishes its investigative findings yearly. 

In a late August press release, the Grand Jury described itself as "a group of trained citizens charged with ensuring that county and city departments and special districts function in the best interest of the residents of Santa Cruz County."

The Grand Jury is just starting its 2012-2013 investigations year and is looking for issues for its 2013 report. 

Do you have concerns about budgeting in Capitola? Don't like certain functions going on with the city? Think it's wrong that the mayor is selected instead of elected? Tell the Grand Jury by visiting www.co.santa-cruz.ca.us/grandjury/index.htm. You may also email grandjury@scgrandjury.org or call (831)454-2099.
