Stockton council members spar over grand jury reforms

Though Stockton City Council has agreed to implement the recommendations made by a civil grand jury, agreeing on how to implement those recommendations could be a turbulent journey for the council. Stockton City Council found little common ground in a Nov. 9 study session designed to help the body address the findings of a report by the San Joaquin County Civil Grand Jury, which criticized the council's inability to function as a "cohesive legislative body." At the study session, councilmembers discussed each of the eight recommendations made by the grand jury at length. Councilmembers disagreed on what should be considered a "personal attack," how stringently council should follow staff recommendations, and the usefulness of additional trainings, among other items. No official action was taken by the council at the study session. Rather the meeting served as a way for the council to discuss their thoughts on each recommendation prior to the rapidly approaching Dec. 31 deadline for the implementation of many of the recommendations. The study session was moderated by Henry Gardner, the executive director of Oakland–Alameda County Coliseum Authority and the former city manager of Oakland from 1981 to 1993. The eight recommendations made by the grand jury were:

Hundreds of Stanislaus residents losing CalFresh food assistance due to federal rules

About 720 residents in Stanislaus County have lost CalFresh benefits, as of Nov. 1, because of new federal work requirements. It represents a small percentage of the 85,000 county residents receiving CalFresh food assistance , but the number of those affected will grow as their eligibility comes up for renewal in the months ahead. The county’s Community Services Agency said 2,100 people could lose the assistance if they don’t meet the work requirements under H.R. 1, the federal bill that made changes to the nation’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. CalFresh is the name for SNAP in California. A CSA spokesperson said Tuesday the agency has conducted eligibility assessments for CalFresh recipients through October, and more people are expected to lose benefits each month as additional work requirement assessments are done between November and June, 2027. “Stanislaus County remains committed to supporting community members who rely on CalFresh benefits ,” the CSA said. “When residents lose access to food assistance, it is a concern.” The county will continue to monitor the effects of H.R. 1 on residents and work closely with community partners to help connect eligible individuals and families with available food resources and support services, the agency said.
