RE:

Additions and/or revisions to the agenda for the Board meeting of

Tuesday, December 9, 2025.

REVISE:

Strengthening the Transparent Policymaking Process:

Enhancing the Review of Substantive Policy Motions at County

Cluster Meetings

Revised recommendation as submitted by Supervisors Mitchell and

Solis: Instruct the Executive Officer of the Board, in consultation

with County Counsel, to revise Section 22.1(g) of the Rules of the

Board to state that, “This Section shall become effective for

member motions to be introduced for the January 21, 2025, Board

meeting and shall stay in effect until repealed.” The revision shall

extend the Cluster Motion Review Process for all substantive Board

motions to do the following:

Instruct County Counsel, in coordination with the Executive Officer

and Acting Chief Executive Officer, to amend Section 22.1 of the

Rules of the Board within 60 days to: …

Clearly define all exemption categories, namely: declarations

and ratifications of emergency and all recovery and related

actions; fee waivers; reward motions; adjournments in a

deceased person’s memory; ceremonial proclamations and

acknowledgments, without substantive directives;

presentation of scrolls; nominations and appointments to

Boards and Commissions, or other bodies; motions related to

Board meeting scheduling; motions involving the land

acknowledgement statement; motions related to the Board’s

annual reorganization including the election of the Chair

Pro-Tem; motions directly pertaining to declared

emergencies; and motions for which the Board finds that an

emergency situation, pursuant to Gov't Code §54954.2(b)(1)

or urgency pursuant to Government Code §54954.2(b)(2)

exists. Also include exemption categories for actions that are

in response to, or otherwise related to, any action taken by

the Federal government, including all of its branches and any

Department, agency, or instrumentality under their authority;

as previously approved by Board Order No. 14 of August 12,

2025, construction projects already approved by the Board

requiring administrative modifications (e.g., change orders,

delegated authority) but not including adjustments to the

overall project budget; and grants or programs previously

approved by the Board that require administrative

adjustments or implementation actions. …

Standardize the Economic Development and Policy Committee on

equal standing as the “Original Five” Clusters, with the same

support from the Acting Chief Executive Officer, Executive Officer,

and the Directors of Economic Opportunity and Internal Services. In

addition, rename this body the “Workforce and Economic

Development Cluster.”

Standardize the Homeless Policy Deputies Meeting on equal

standing as the “Original Five” Clusters, with the same support from

the Acting Chief Executive Officer, Executive Officer, and the

Directors of Homeless Services and Housing and Internal Services.

In addition, rename this body the “Homelessness Cluster.”

Homelessness Cluster to be added to Section 22.1(a) as an

additional policy cluster along with the existing six policy clusters in

Section 22.1(a).

Instruct the Executive Officer and the Acting Chief Executive

Officer, in consultation with the Directors of Economic Opportunity

and Homeless Services and Housing, and County Counsel, to

report back to the Board in writing in 30 days on standardizing the

support, staffing, structure and agendas of the Economic

Development and Policy Committee and Homeless Policy Deputies

meetings so that these meetings can function as two new Cluster

meetings where Board letters and motions are regularly presented,

and analyze and make recommendations for streamlining the

motion submission timeline and cluster presentation so that motions

could be filed two weeks before the Board meeting rather than the

current three weeks in advance. This should include consideration

of the two new cluster meetings and their meeting schedules.

SUPPLEMENTAL AGENDA

Advancing Last Paycheck Security

Recommendation as submitted by Supervisors Solis and Horvath:

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

purpose of considering this motion. Instruct the Director of

Consumer and Business Affairs, through the Office of Labor Equity,

in consultation with County Counsel, the Director of Economic

Opportunity, and other relevant County Department Heads to

provide a report back to the Board in writing within 90 days that

includes the feasibility of establishing an ordinance for the Board's

review that would require employers to provide a designation form

to existing employees and new hires who perform work in the

unincorporated areas of the County, regardless of immigration

status, with which an employee may designate a person who shall

be entitled to receive all paychecks due and payable to the

employee in the event of the employee's unavailability, require

employers to deliver employees' paychecks to the employees'

respective designees in the event of the employees' unavailability

and upon providing sufficient proof of the designee's identity to the

employer, and provide a private right of action by aggrieved

persons. The report back should also include recommendations on

whether a proposed ordinance can also require employers to do the

following:

Provide the designation form in the employee's primary

spoken language.

Allow employees to freely, without duress, coercion, or

intimidation, select a designee of their choosing to receive

their final paycheck.

In the event an employee refuses to select a designee for

their final paycheck, the employer must obtain the

employee's signed acknowledgment that the employee

refused to designate a person on the designation form.

Allow employees to establish or modify the designation at any

time during the period of employment and for up to one year

post separation.

Provide existing employees and new hires with notice of their

rights regarding the issuance of final paychecks, including the

employee’s right to designate someone of their choosing to

receive their final paycheck if the employee is unavailable.

Retain the signed designation form and records

demonstrating notice for a period of one year post

separation.

The report back should also include draft templates of the

designation form and an explanation sheet/guide for

employers; and a proposed communication strategy to

educate employers through various mediums such as social

media news outlets and during points of contact with County

Departments, such as during business licensing, permitting,

and funding applications.

Direct the Acting Chief Executive Officer, through the Legislative

Affairs and Intergovernmental Relations Branch, to support

legislative proposals that would require employers Statewide to

offer their employees a designation form. (25-6782)

Supporting Unhoused Pet Owners and Uplifting Animal

Welfare

Recommendation as submitted by Supervisor Solis: Suspend

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

considering this motion. Instruct the Director of Animal Care and

Control to coordinate with the District Attorney and Sheriff on a

campaign that would raise awareness about what legally constitutes

animal abuse, how to report animal abuse cases, the lead agencies

for different jurisdictions, information needed to assist enforcement

agencies in filing a case, and what community members can do if

what they witness is not legally considered an animal abuse case.

Instruct the Acting Chief Executive Officer and its Center for

Strategic Partnerships to collaborate with the Director of Animal

Care and Control to support the Los Angeles County Animal Care

Foundation in launching a campaign to raise philanthropic funds

that would further support and enhance capacity of the Department

of Animal Care and Control’s Pet Pantry, Pets Are Family program,

and the Vets at the Park program that already service the County’s

low-income communities and person’s experiencing homelessness

with pet supplies, reduced cost veterinary vouchers, and basic

medical services along with microchipping. Instruct the Director of

Homeless Services and Housing, in consultation with the Director of

Animal Care and Control, to find a community-based organization

to provide regular pet services such as vaccinations, pet food and

supplies, basic medical screenings, and spay/neuter at the Skid

Row Care Campus. Report back regarding the progress of the

directives to the Board in writing within 60 days and in 180 days.

Extending Price Gouging Protections for Housing

Recommendation as submitted by Supervisor Horvath: Effective

December 29, 2025, extend for 30 days, through and including

January 28, 2026, the protections of California Penal Code Section

396, subdivisions (b), (c), (d), (e), and (f), to limit price-gouging for

applicable goods and services and in the housing rental market,

and in hotels and motels, and to continue the protections of County

Code Title 8 - Consumer Protection, Business and Wage

Regulations, Chapter 8.09, pursuant to Penal Code Section 396

subdivision (g). The Board finds that this extension is necessary

because of complaints of price gouging which are continuing, and

have been increasing, and that such an extension will protect the

lives, property, and/or welfare of the residents of the County.

Authorize a specified price increase of the rental price for housing

not rented and not offered for rent within one year prior to the

proclamation or declaration of emergency as defined in Penal Code

Section 396 subdivision (j)(11)(B) as follows: for the County,

increase the rental price formula for such housing from 160% of the

fair market rent established by the United States Department of

Housing and Urban Development to 200% to more accurately

reflect rental market conditions in the County. All other provisions of

Penal Code Section 396 subdivision (j)(11)(B) shall remain

unchanged. (25-6789)
