Title:

Contracting Task Force Report and Recommendations (Contracting)

Date:

July 1991

Summary:

This report expands upon the findings made in the 1987 "Report on Contracting Policy in Los Angeles County Government" by recognizing that any contracting of services performed by employees would have a major impact on positions held by minorities and women. The report concluded that this is a valid finding since the services contracted out up to that time involved low level auxiliary minority held positions such as custodial, food, and laundry workers. The report makes recommendations to mitigate the potential negative impacts of contracting.

Title:

Statement on County Proposition "A" Contracting with Private Firms (Contracting)

Date:

October 1978

Summary:

The Commission conducted an analysis of Proposition "A" which permits the County to contract for services with private firms when contracting would be more economical and efficient than using County employees. The Commission endorsed this measure. The measure improves accountability of County government and increases the cost-effectiveness and responsiveness of County government. The measure required the County to adopt an ordinance specifying criteria for entering into contracts and to use competitive bidding procedures for awarding contracts.
