SUPPLEMENTAL AGENDA

Reaffirming the County’s Commitment to Measure J

43-A.

Recommendation as submitted by Supervisors Horvath and Hahn:

Suspend Section 22.1 of the Rules of the Board for the limited purpose

of considering this motion. Instruct County Counsel to explore and

report back to the Board in writing in two weeks confidentially on

potential legal actions, including the possibility of declaratory relief, that

would confirm the will of the voters and ensure that Measure J remains

in effect beyond 2028. Instruct County Counsel and the Chief

Executive Officer, through the Legislative Affairs and Intergovernmental

Relations Branch, to report back to the Board in writing in 10 days on

whether changes in State law could be made to correct the

administrative error and implement both measures in the County

Charter without the expense of a ballot measure. Instruct the Executive

Officer of the Board and County Counsel, to evaluate what led to this

error, what should have occurred, and use that evaluation to develop

policies and procedures to ensure that the County Charter is promptly

updated to accurately reflect all amendments in effect and approved by

the voters. A draft Board policy is to be presented to the Board for

approval in 30 days. Instruct County Counsel to prepare an ordinance

ensuring the continued implementation of Measure J beyond 2028,

when the elected County Executive takes office, and return to the

Board in 30 days for its consideration. Instruct County Counsel to

report back to the Board in writing with a proposed Charter amendment

to incorporate Measure J into the new governance structure for

continued implementation beyond 2028 and the necessary steps to

place the proposed Charter Amendment on the 2026 ballot. (25-3936)

County; and indemnify, hold, and save harmless the Federal

government from any and all claims, damages, or losses arising out of

the USACE's abatement actions on behalf of the County, including

this motion. Direct the Chief Executive Officer to report back to the

Board during the Supplemental Budget phase with potential funding

sources to sustain and expand the Small Business Interruption Fund for

small businesses impacted by ongoing Federal immigration activity

including, but not limited to, Care First Community Investment (CFCI)

funds equivalent to the $5,500,000 the Department of Economic

Opportunity applied for on behalf of this fund and to the extent

consistent with the CFCI Advisory Committee’s recommendation

process, and philanthropic investments. Instruct the Director of

Consumer and Business Affairs, through its Office of Immigrant

Affairs, in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer, County

Counsel, the Treasurer and Tax Collector, the Directors of Public

Works, Internal Services, and any other relevant County Department

Heads and community partners, to report back to the Board in writing

within the next 30 days with recommendations and an assessment of

the feasibility of establishing a program to retrieve, safeguard, and

return equipment or belongings left behind in unincorporated areas of

the County by individuals detained by United States Immigration and

Customs Enforcement or other Federal agencies engaged in

immigration enforcement actions. The report back should also include

an analysis of operational, outreach, and resource needs, and include,

but not limited to, the following:

Engage faith-based organizations and assess the viability of

partnering with faith-based organizations, mutual aid groups, and

other trusted community-based organizations to safely intake,

inventory, and store property found at or near the site of

detainment.

Explore the development of a centralized, user-friendly online

portal that logs property and equipment by location, date found,

and general description for family members or interested parties

to locate the items discovered and reclaim the property.

If any identifying information is found with the property, for

example, business license records, address, etc., assess the

feasibility of logging such information and issuing notice to the

last known address.

Outreach widely on the availability of the resource.

Include a plan to conduct wide-reaching, multilingual outreach to

ensure impacted communities are aware of the resource and

how to access it.

Instruct the Director of Consumer and Business Affairs, through its

Office of Immigrant Affairs and the Office of Labor Equity, in

collaboration with County Counsel, to develop and launch an outreach

campaign in collaboration with relevant community partners that

focuses on educating impacted communities on their rights, the

process for recovering withheld or unpaid wages, available County and

community resources to assist in navigating financial recovery post

deportation; and report back to the Board in writing within 30 days on

the feasibility of using an existing County hotline to accept international

collect calls in order to reunite earnings with deported individuals to

serve as an access point for deported County residents seeking to

recover earnings or coordinate with family members, representatives,

or appropriate agencies to reclaim financial resources owed to them.

Instruct the Director of Consumer and Business Affairs, through its

Office of Immigrant Affairs, in partnership with the Executive Director

of the Center for Strategic Partnerships, Chief Executive Office, and

the Director of Economic Opportunity, to implement a fundraising plan

and launch a cash aid fund within the next 30 days for impacted

workers and their families with flexible financial assistance in the short,

medium and long-term. The ongoing campaign should aim to gather

donations from philanthropy and other sources. The cash aid program

should utilize data from the Director of Economic Opportunity’s report

entitled, “Report Back on Motion by Supervisors Hilda L. Solis and

Janic Hahn - Responding to Workforce and Economic Impact of

Federal Immigration Enforcement in Los Angeles County,” to prioritize

impacted workers residing in unincorporated areas and small cities.

Identify gaps in food delivery and food pantries for vulnerable

communities impacted by the rampant deportations and develop and

implement a plan to address those gaps within the next 30 days.
