The Los Angeles Board of Supervisors quickly and quietly rejected a chance to discuss improvements in governance and effectiveness. Bring it up again.
No matter how you slice it up, five people cannot adequately represent the more than 10 million people of Los Angeles County.
It’s more than a little ironic that a proposal to ask consultants to recommend changes — such as committee review and independent analysis — to prevent the board and the public from being blindsided by policy motions was rejected because it left some on the board feeling blindsided. Is that true? The state’s open meetings law for local governments — the Brown Act — is subject to some interpretation on that point. The law affects boards of supervisors in a particularly complex way because, unlike city councils, which are legislative bodies, supervisors make up the county’s executive as well as legislative branch.
