Title:

Review of the Relationship between Los Angeles County and State Government (Policy)

Date:

February 1997

Summary:

This study undertook an analysis of the recommendations of the California Constitutional Revision Commission (CCRC) that relate to the state-local government relationship. In its study, the EEC reviewed these recommendations in detail and develops a framework within which Los Angeles County can best pursue a course of action to improve its relationship with State Government. Through a consensus building process within the greater metropolitan Los Angeles community, local government can become a meaningful force in the restructuring and realignment of governmental relationships.

Title:

Public Access to Decision Making - Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors (Policy)

Date:

July 1992

Summary:

This report was designed to improve the ability of the citizens of Los Angeles County to understand and access the workings of County government. Recommendations address concerns such as, the inadequate notice of the issues to be considered by the Board, the difficulty in understanding the proceedings and clarifying decisions that have been made at Board meetings. The report concludes that the Board staff fulfills the present legal access requirements but that these requirements are not sufficient to ensure the public's ready access to government's decision making.

Title:

Challenge for the 1980's: Can We Govern Ourselves? (Policy)

Date:

January 1979

Pages:

135

Summary:

This report is an expansion of the Commission's previous study, Impact of New County Formation. This report expanded the analysis in a number of areas and modified conclusions previously made. The study is divided into four major sections: the current system of governments (in the Los Angeles metropolitan area and the problems which the present structure creates), alternative solutions (the procedures involved in changing the present structure, the parties involved in making changes), the proposed structure, and Commission recommendations. The Commission proposed a federated system of government consisting of community based city governments to provide local government services and regional government to address area-wide problems. This proposal would also provide consolidated services to cities upon request.
