Enter Into a Cooperative Agreement Between Southern California Edison

(SCE) and the County for Relocation of Facilities Owned by SCE that are

in Conflict with the Construction of Phase 1 The Old Road Over The

Santa Clara River and The Southern Pacific Transportation Company

Bridge, Et Al. Project

13.

Recommendation as Supervisor Barger: Find that the recommended action is

within the scope of the previously adopted Final Environmental Impact Report

(FEIR) for the project that was certified by the Board on December 17, 2024.

There is no change in the Project scope or to the circumstances under which

the project will be undertaken that requires additional findings under the

California Environmental Quality Act. The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting

Program (MMRP) adopted at the time of FEIR certification will continue to

apply. The location of the documents and other materials constituting the record

of the proceedings upon which the Board’s decision is based in this matter is

with the Department of Public Works, Transportation Planning and Programs

Division. The certified Final EIR, Findings of Fact, Statement of Overriding

Considerations and MMRP are also available at:

https://pw.lacounty.gov/projects/the-old-road-over-santa-clara-river. The

custodian of such documents at Public Works is the Transportation Planning

and Programs Division, Environmental Planning and Assessments Section,

Section Head, 11th Floor. Upon the Board's approval of the actions herein,

Public Works will file a Notice of Determination with the County Clerk and with

the Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation pursuant to Public Resources

Code section 21152 and will post the Notice in accordance with Section

21092.2. Authorize the Director of Public Works to negotiate and enter into a

cooperative agreement, and any subsequent amendments, with Southern

California Edison (SCE), to reimburse SCE to relocate their facilities that are in

conflict with the construction of Phase 1 of the Old Road over the Santa Clara

River and the Southern Pacific Transportation Company Bridge, et al. project.

California Health and Safety Code, shall furnish no-cost or reduced cost

care to low-income residents of the County who do not have health

insurance. In addition, to the extent appropriate, the network may include

a limited number of partner pharmacies, specialists, or ancillary service

Motion by Supervisors Mitchell and Solis (Updates Following Cluster)

Motion by Supervisors Horvath and Mitchell

Transparency and Fairness in Collective Bargaining for County Public

Safety Workers through Binding Arbitration

16.

Recommendation as submitted by Supervisors Horvath and Solis: Instruct

County Counsel to draft the necessary documents, including an ordinance, for

a proposed Charter amendment adopting binding arbitration as the means of

resolving disputes involving wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of

employment that are not uniquely within the jurisdiction of a memorandum of

understanding providing fringe benefits, for public safety employees including

firefighters, deputy sheriffs, district attorney investigators, deputy medical

examiners, County lifeguards, and their supervisors, as well as

nonadministrative civilian employees in the County Fire Department, Sheriff’s

Department, and Department of the Medical Examiner, containing the following

provisions, and place the ordinance on the March 3, 2026 Board agenda for

consideration. The Charter Amendment shall be placed on the ballot for the

November 3, 2026 General Election.

Declaration of Policy: It is hereby declared to be the policy of the County

that strikes by firefighters, deputy sheriffs, sworn law enforcement

supervisors and managers, lifeguards, and civilian employees working

for the Fire Department, Sheriff’s Department, and Department of the

Medical Examiner and are not in the public interest and are prohibited.

As set forth in this section, a method shall be adopted for peaceably and

equitably resolving labor disputes that might otherwise have led to strikes.

This method shall be referred to in this section as “interest arbitration.”

Any employee covered by this section who willfully participates in an

illegal strike or work stoppage shall be subject to disciplinary action up to

and including termination from employment.

Employees Covered: This section shall apply to labor organizations

certified by the County’s Employee Relations Commission, established

pursuant to Chapter 5.04 of the Los Angeles County Code, as

representing employees in the following bargaining units: Bargaining Unit

601, Bargaining Unit 602, Bargaining Unit 603, Bargaining Unit 604,

Bargaining Unit 611, Bargaining Unit 612, Bargaining Unit 614,

Bargaining Unit 621, Bargaining Unit 631, Bargaining Unit 632,

Bargaining Unit 641, Bargaining Unit 642, Bargaining Unit 411, and

Bargaining Unit 412. For purposes of this ordinance, the labor

organizations described above shall hereinafter be referred to as

“Certified Public Safety Employee Organizations” and any employee

described in this subdivision may be designated as a “public safety

employee” and collectively as “public safety employees.”

Obligation to Negotiate in Good Faith: The County, through its duly

authorized representatives, shall negotiate in good faith with Certified

Public Safety Employee Organizations on all matters relating to wages,

hours, and other terms and conditions of employment, including the

establishment of procedures for the resolution of grievances concerning

the interpretation or application of a negotiated agreement. Unless and

until agreement is reached through negotiations between authorized

representatives of the County and the applicable Certified Public Safety

Employee Organization, respectively, or a determination is made through

the impartial arbitration procedure hereinafter provided, no existing

wages, hours, or other terms and conditions of employment for said

public safety employees in the Certified Public Safety Employee

Organizations shall be eliminated or changed.

Impasse Resolution Procedures:

Mediation and Fact-Finding in Chapter 5.04 Not Applicable - The

mediation and fact-finding provisions of the Employee Relations

Ordinance, as set forth in Chapter 5.04 of the Los Angeles County

Code, shall not apply to negotiations impasses involving Certified

Public Safety Employee Organizations.

Applicability of Interest Arbitration - All disputes or controversies

pertaining to the renewal of a Certified Public Safety Employee

Organization’s memorandum of understanding covering wages,

hours, and other terms and conditions of employment that are not

uniquely within the jurisdiction of a memorandum of understanding

providing fringe benefits, and which remain unresolved after good

faith negotiations between the County and a Certified Public

Safety Employee Organization shall be submitted to a

three-member Board of Arbitrators for resolution.

Selection of Interest Arbitration Board of Arbitrators -

Representatives designated by the County and representatives of

the Certified Public Safety Employee Organization involved in the

dispute shall each appoint one arbitrator to the Board of

Arbitrators within seven days after either party has notified the

other, in writing, that it desires to proceed to arbitration. The third

member of the Board of Arbitrators shall be selected by agreement

between the County and the Certified Public Safety Employee

Organization and shall serve as the neutral arbitrator and

Chairperson of the Board. In the event that the County and the

Certified Public Safety Employee Organization involved in the

dispute cannot agree upon the selection of the third, neutral

arbitrator within 10 days from the date that either party has notified

the other that it has declared an impasse, either party may then

request the State Mediation and Conciliation Service to provide a

list of seven persons who are qualified and experienced as labor

arbitrators. If the County and the certified Public Safety Employee

Organization cannot agree within seven days after receipt of such

list on one of seven persons to act as the neutral arbitrator, they

shall alternately strike names from the list of nominees until one

name remains and that person shall then become the neutral

arbitrator and Chairperson of the Board of Arbitrators.

Alternatively, the parties may agree to waive the appointment of

party-appointed arbitrators and proceed with a single neutral

arbitrator. If the parties agree to the appointment of a single

neutral arbitrator, the single neutral arbitrator shall fulfill the duties

and responsibilities of the Board of Arbitrators and Chairperson of

the Board of Arbitrators, as are applicable and set forth in this

section.

Interest Arbitration Hearing Procedures and Decision - Any

interest arbitration proceeding convened pursuant to this section

shall be conducted in conformance with, subject to, and governed

by Title 9 of Part 3 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, as

may be amended from time to time. The Board of Arbitrators shall

hold hearings, receive evidence from the parties, allow for public

input and cause a transcript of the proceedings to be prepared.

The Board of Arbitrators, in the exercise of its discretion, may

meet privately with the parties and mediate or “mede-arb” issues in

dispute. The Board of Arbitrators may also adopt such other

procedures that are designed to encourage an agreement

between the parties, expedite the arbitration hearing process, or

reduce the costs of the arbitration process. The rules of evidence

prevailing in judicial proceedings may be considered, but are not

binding, and any oral testimony or documentary evidence or other

data deemed relevant by the Chairperson of the Board of

Arbitrators may be received in evidence. A recording of the

proceedings shall be taken. The Board of Arbitrators has the

power to administer oaths, require the attendance of witnesses,

and require the production of such books, papers, contracts,

agreements, and documents as may be deemed by the panel to

be material to a just determination of the issues in dispute. In the

event no agreement is reached prior to the conclusion of the

arbitration hearings, the Board of Arbitrators shall direct each of

the parties to submit, within such time limit as the Board of

Arbitrators may establish, a last offer of settlement on each of the

remaining issues in dispute. The Board of Arbitrators shall decide

each issue by majority vote by selecting whichever last offer of

settlement on that issue it finds most nearly conforms to those

factors traditionally taken into consideration in the determination of

wages, hours, benefits, and terms and conditions of public and

private employment including, but not limited to, the following: the

cost of living; recruitment and retention; workload and productivity;

the interests and welfare of the public; the wages, hours, benefits,

and terms and conditions of employment of California State and

local public employees performing similar services; the financial

condition of the County and its ability to meet the costs of the

decision of the Board of Arbitrators; and other factors not

confined to the foregoing that are traditionally taken into

consideration in the determination of wages, hours, and other

terms and conditions of employment.

Post-Hearing Process - After reaching a decision, the Board of

Arbitrators shall mail or otherwise deliver a true copy of its

decision to the parties. The decision of the Board of Arbitrators

shall not be publicly disclosed and shall not be binding until 30

days after it is delivered to the parties. During that 30-day period

the parties shall meet privately and attempt to resolve their

differences. Any agreements reached during the 30-day period

shall be incorporated into the decision of the Board of Arbitrators.

At the conclusion of the 30-day period, which may be extended by

mutual agreement between the parties, the decision of the Board

of Arbitrators shall be publicly disclosed and shall be binding on

the parties. The County and the Certified Public Safety Employee

Organization shall take whatever action is necessary to carry out

and effectuate the arbitration award. No other actions by the

Board of Supervisors or by the electorate to confirm or approve

the decision of the Board of Arbitrators shall be permitted or

required.

Expenses of Interest Arbitration - The expenses of any arbitration

proceeding convened pursuant to this section, including the fee

for the services of the Chairperson of the Board of Arbitration and

the costs of preparation of the transcript of the proceedings, shall

be borne equally by the parties. All other expenses which the

parties may incur individually are to be borne by the party

incurring such expenses.

Employee Relations Commission: The Employee Relations Commission,

as created in Chapter 5.04 of the Los Angeles County Code, shall have

the authority to administer the provisions enacted by the measure.

Relationship to Chapter 5.04 of the Los Angeles County Code: This

section supplements the provisions of the Employee Relations Ordinance

as set forth in Chapter 5.04 of the Los Angeles County Code. Where

there is a conflict between the provisions of this measure and those of

the Employee Relations Ordinance, the provisions of this section shall

control.

Severability: If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or

application of this measure is for any reason held to be invalid or

unconstitutional by a decision of any court of competent jurisdiction,

such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions or

applications of this measure. The electors hereby declare that they would

have passed this measure and each and every section, subsection,

sentence, clause, or phrase not declared invalid or unconstitutional

without regard to whether any portion of the measure would be

subsequently declared invalid or unconstitutional.

Conflicting Measures: If this measure and one or more County measures

adopted at the same election conflict, the measure receiving the highest

number of affirmative votes shall control.

Effective Date; Operative Date: The proposed charter amendment that is

the subject of this measure, if approved by the voters at the next regular

County election, or such other election as authorized by law, shall be

deemed adopted upon the date that the vote is declared by the Board,

and shall go into effect 10 days after that date.

Legal Defense: If approved by a simple majority of voters, and thereafter

challenged in a court of competent jurisdiction, the County shall defend

this measure in such court of competent jurisdiction. The People of the

County by approving this measure by a simple majority of voters hereby

declare that the proponent(s) of this measure have a direct and personal

stake in defending this measure from constitutional or statutory

challenges to this measure’s validity or implementation. In the event the

County fails to defend this measure, or the County fails to appeal an

adverse judgment against hits measure, in whole or in part, in any court

of competent jurisdiction, this measure’s proponent(s) shall be entitled to

assert his, her, or their direct personal stake by defending this measure’s

validity and implementation in any court of competent jurisdiction and

shall be empowered by the People through this measure to act as agents

of the People of the County, and the County shall indemnify the

proponents(s) for reasonable attorneys’ fees.

Codification; Numbering; Non-substantive Edits: If approved by the

voters, this measure shall be codified in the Los Angeles County Charter.

The chapter, article, and section numbers set forth in this measure are

for reference only and the County is authorized to assign alternative

chapter, article, and section numbers, and to make nonsubstantive

formatting, typographical, and cross-reference corrections as necessary

to effectuate this measure without changing its substance. (26-0872)

Supporting Probation and Foster Youth Impacted by Human Trafficking

with Community-Based Supports

19.

Recommendation as submitted by Supervisor Horvath: Instruct the Chief

Probation Officer and the Directors of Children and Family Services and Youth

Development, to report back to the Board in writing within 30 days on the

following:

Probation and Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) to

provide current staffing levels within specialized units responsible for

fulfilling County initiatives and State mandates under Senate Bills (SBs)

855 and 794, including the number of filled positions, current vacancies

(including those on home assignment within Probation), and a detailed

plan outlining how each Department will fill vacant positions and stabilize

staffing to ensure sufficient capacity to serve youth identified as at risk of

or impacted by trafficking.

Probation and DCFS to provide deidentified data on youth identified as

being impacted by trafficking and currently under their supervision,

including the number of youth identified; current living situation (custody,

foster care, home, or other placements); the specialized unit or program

providing services; the number of youth with dual jurisdiction; the number

currently missing with active delinquency warrants (Probation) and

missing from DCFS supervision; and, for Probation-supervised youth,

the date of the most recent criminal arrest (excluding probation violations

or bench warrants).

Probation and DCFS to provide data on the number of youth referred to

advocacy services over the past two years who are identified as being

impacted by trafficking, disaggregated by contracted advocacy provider

(including DCFS advocacy contracts and Department of Youth

Development (DYD) purchase orders) and available outcome measures

reflecting youth engagement, stability, and service connection after one

year of advocacy support.

Probation and DCFS to provide a detailed accounting of funding utilized

over the past five years from County Heathier Communities, Stronger

Families, Thriving Children funds and State allocations under SBs 855

and 794, including funded staffing positions, advocacy and service

contracts, training and technical assistance, and interagency

agreements such as Locate Memorandum of Understandings with the

Los Angeles Police Department and the Sheriff’s Department. The

Departments shall also report on measurable outcomes and identify any

funds remaining unspent on a year-over-year basis. This report should

include a discussion on what, if any, funding sources can be moved from

Probation to DYD, and an accounting of funding available under SB 794

funds or other sources to further support the trafficking work.

Probation and DCFS to jointly develop and submit a coordinated plan of

support for dual-jurisdiction youth impacted by trafficking. Considering

Child Trafficking Unit staffing limitations, the plan should examine options

to minimize dual-system involvement by consolidating care within the

least restrictive, most supportive system, including options for DCFS to

assume primary case management responsibility for appropriate

dual-status youth, while Probation conducts a comprehensive review of

all Commercial Sexual Exploitation-identified youth to determine eligibility

for termination of probation jurisdiction for youth without new criminal

charges for at least one year, as a stabilizing intervention that supports

developmental health, educational continuity, and long-term recovery.

This report should also explore whether DYD can provide referrals for

those Probation youth without a DCFS case. Results and data shall be

included in the report back.

Probation and DYD to develop and submit a plan to ensure all youth

identified as being impacted by trafficking or at high risk under Probation

supervision are referred to contracted community advocacy providers

and other DYD-contracted providers as appropriate, including youth in

the community and youth while in custody at Campus Kilpatrick and

Dorothy Kirby Center. The plan should include procedures for

community advocacy agencies to engage youth as alternatives to

incarceration, while in custody so that relationships are established prior

to release, and to engage parents and caregivers during this period to

prepare families to receive their youth home or into community

placements, ensuring continuity of care and a warm handoff to services

upon release. If such a plan is currently under development through the

County’s work to end girls’ incarceration, Probation should provide such

plan or status update with the expected completion date. (26-1076)

Report

January 2025 Windstorm and Critical Fire Events Bi-Weekly Emergency

Contracts Report

29.

Recommendation: Review the emergency actions ordered and taken by the

Director of Internal Services, under delegated authority by the Board, acting as

both the County and the Governing Body of various Districts, under Board

Order No. 13-C of January 28, 2025, to respond to and recover from the

January 2025 Windstorm and Critical Fire Events, including the Palisades Fire,

Eaton Fire, Hurst Fire, Kenneth Fire, and multiple other fires (LA County Fires)

(1, 3 and 5) and actions enumerated in the aforementioned authorities

(Actions), without giving notice for bids to let contracts, and determine that there

is a need to continue the emergency Actions. Find that there is substantial

evidence that the January 2025 Windstorm and Critical Fire Events continue to

constitute an emergency pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 22050,

which requires that immediate action be taken to cleanup and reconstruct public

property, buildings, facilities, and infrastructure because the emergency does

not permit the delay resulting from a formal competitive solicitation of bids

and/or proposals to procure construction, materials, equipment and services for

projects and initiatives necessary to respond to and recover from the LA County

Fires. Find that authority should, therefore, continue to be delegated to the

Director of Internal Services to amend or extend and supplement existing

as-needed or on-call contracts without giving notice for bids to let contracts

related to facilities and related support services, and to award new contracts for

response to and recovery from the LA County Fires, and such contracts should

be issued because they are necessary to respond to the emergency. (Internal
