Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors is considering a proposal to expand from five to nine members, aiming to increase representation for its 10 million residents. The plan includes making the county chief executive officer an elected position, improving transparency, and establishing an independent ethics commission. Concerns have been raised about the rushed nature of the overhaul, with some supervisors abstaining and questioning the specifics of the plan, such as the number of supervisors and potential funding requirements. The proposed charter amendment would address long-standing issues of representation and accountability in a county where each supervisor currently represents around 2 million constituents. If approved by voters, the board expansion would start in 2030, with staggered elections to follow in subsequent years.
