agenda-report Request by Councilmember Oscar de la Torre that the City Council discuss Measure G which will be on the November 2024 ballot. Measure G is a proposed County charter amendment which would amend the LA County Charter to create an elected County Executive, create an independent Ethics Commission to increase restrictions on lobbying and investigate misconduct, establish a nonpartisan Legislative Analyst to review proposed County policies, increase the Board of Supervisors from five to nine elected members; require County departments to present annual budgets in public meetings; using existing funding sources with no additional taxes to implement, as detailed in the charter amendment ordinance. This item is being brought to the City Council by Councilmember de la Torre as the City’s voting delegate at the Westside Cities Council of Governments. At its August 8, 2024 board meeting, the WSCCOG received a presentation on Measure G and direction was given to WSCCOG members to seek direction from their respective governing bodies and return prepared to discuss and possibly vote to take a position on Measure G at the WSCCOG’s next board meeting which is scheduled for October 10, 2024. Councilmember de la Torre is asking for the City Council to discuss this item so he can best represent the City during the WSCCOG Board discussion in October. ( Attachment includes Measure G presentation and text of the Motion adopted by the LA County Board of Supervisors.) New Attachment Added. 1/08/2026
