Santa Barbara County Jury Commissioner, Darrel E. Parker, extends the deadline for applying to serve on the 2022-2023 Santa Barbara County Civil Grand Jury to May 13, 2022. “I’m extending the deadline to allow a greater number of County citizens the opportunity to serve on this important investigative body. Participation is easier now with the ability to attend via videoconferencing and Zoom.,” said Mr. Parker upon extending the deadline.
The Civil Grand Jury is a Court appointed oversight panel, keeping watch over numerous government agencies, cities, and districts throughout Santa Barbara County. Grand Jurors are a diverse group of volunteer citizens from the five supervisorial districts in Santa Barbara County. Eligible applicants must be US citizens 18 or older and a resident of Santa Barbara County for at least one year.
The Grand Jury may investigate, evaluate and make recommendations to any city, county or special district agency that receives county funds. California law requires the Grand Jury inspect county and city jails and detention facilities, and review county financial accounts and records.
Persons selected are expected to serve a full year and be prepared to work at least 20 hours per week. Compensation includes $25 per meeting and roundtrip mileage reimbursement.
