After California became the state of the United States in 1850, its legislature was confronted with how state and local authorities would be structured. One decree was that the counties starting with Los Angeles would have five -member tips of the supervisory authorities.
Almost everything about California’s management has changed over the last 175 years – even the size of its legislative power, which the constitutional amendment of 1879 has been determined by 80 members in the Assembly and 40 in the Senate.
With one exception, the city and San Francisco County, California Counts have had five -member governing tips since then, including Tiny Alpine County, with only 1000 inhabitants and Los Angeles, with nearly 10 million.
This will change. Last year, after decades of unsuccessful efforts Overhaul How to manage the County Los Angeleshas become a minor miracle when it was Voters have approved the extension of her advice of supervisory authorities Up to nine members after the 2030 census, it was miraculous not only that it happened, but also that the reform was proposed by the present Council itself – though not unanimous – in remarkable display of readiness to dilute members’ powersS
Even more sophisticated, the voting measure also made a quantum reduction in the powers of the board by creating the electoral service of the executive power of the county with a potentially vast authority to rule the district, as the governor of California or the mayor of the big city does.
Given the huge population of Los Angeles County exceeds everyone except 10 states, as well as its huge economic, cultural and political burden, the measure of voting instantly creates a position that will be the second in real power only for the government. The occupant will automatically become a potential governor or US senator.
However, the exact degree of the CEO’s body, however, was not written in the vote measureS Instead, the G set up a 13-member working group to reform the management that I will recommend the details of its provisionsIncluding the authority of the CEO of the district.
The working group, which reflects the extremely diverse economic, cultural and political communities of the county, held its first meeting last week, and the powers of the executive were the concern of its members, some of which opposed the measure G.
As Los Angeles Times account for the meeting To say, “Should the Chief Executive Officer be able to hire and lead the fire service? What are the veto powers? How much control will the executive be over the strings of the County’s County?”
The Times quotes Marcel Roddate, a member of the Working Group who heads the California Treaty City Association, worrying about the bombastic CEO “The Amok Management and the Burning of the Bridges Unnecessary”, adding an opportunity to happen.
The members of the Roddha, which contain dozens of small cities in Los Angeles, are a contract with the county for such things as police patrols and fire protection, so they are concerned about who will sit through the table in negotiations for a contract. The district unions of employees expressed similar reservations about employment contracts.
One of the big questions is whether the CEO of the district will have a limitation of the term.
Governors, legislators and other civil servants have time limits. Governor Gavin Newo’s second term will end in 19 months and publicly quotes the upcoming end of his management in seeking action on his priority issues.
It seems that the County CEO will not be limited by a term, and this is potentially large in the recommendations of the working group to change the County Charter.
There is not much room for prolonged debate among the members of the working group, as the first CEO of the county will be elected in 2028. Every ambitious politician in Los Angeles will weigh a campaign and everyone should know what the winner can be – and cannot do – after being discovered.
