LOS ANGELES—Los Angeles County supervisors July 9 advanced a proposal for revamping county government, in part by expanding the Board of Supervisors from its current five members to nine and making the CEO an elected position.
The package of proposed County Charter changes, which ultimately needs approval from voters, advanced on a 3–0 vote, with Supervisors Holly Mitchell and Kathryn Barger abstaining. With the board vote, county attorneys will draft ordinances that will return to the board to be formally placed on the November ballot.
