EL DORADO COUNTY, Calif. – The Grand Jury is currently recruiting for the 2026-2027 year, and they are looking for citizens of El Dorado County to join them. South Lake Tahoe has been underrepresented, and this is a great way to have your voice heard.
The Grand Jury is an excellent vehicle for committed people to keep the government accountable to all our county’s citizens. The Grand Jury’s goal is to ensure that county, special district, and city governments are being effectively run. The Grand Jury looks at systems and processes, although the Jury has no enforcement authority; it does make recommendations through publication of a public final report.
For a complete description of the Grand Jury’s duties, as well as past Grand Jury Reports and report responses, please visit: Grand Jury – El Dorado County. While being a Grand Juror is not a full-time job, it does require a time commitment, including attendance at full jury and committee meetings, investigating, and preparing written reports.
