Board recognizes Civil Grand Jury Awareness Month; jurors introduced
Summary
The Board adopted a resolution recognizing February 2025 as Civil Grand Jury Awareness Month and members of the Solano County civil grand jury were introduced; a juror outlined the jury's role and local representation.
The Solano County Board of Supervisors approved a resolution recognizing February 2025 as Civil Grand Jury Awareness Month and invited members of the county's civil grand jury to the dais. The resolution passed by a 5-0 vote.
A juror read excerpts describing the grand jury's role — citizen volunteers appointed by the superior court who conduct fact-finding reviews of local government operations and prepare reports with recommendations. Rami Qualls, who identified himself at the meeting as a member, introduced other jurors and noted local representation: “we have maybe about 4 or 5 members missing, but we have 8 people living in Vallejo,” he said.
Board members thanked the jurors for their service and noted the group's role in public accountability. The recognition was ceremonial and did not alter the jurors'statutory authorities or duties.
