Services (DPSS), Director of Mental Health (DMH), IPV/DV providers and

existing Family Justice Centers to explore how to integrate additional social

service supports within DCBA’s SHLACs. A written progress report, including

any challenges and/or required resources, should be submitted to the Board in

60 days. This report should also explore how the SHLACs can better connect

with existing providers, courthouse clinics, and Family Justice Centers to

systems.

Direct the Office of Violence Prevention (OVP), housed within the Department

of Public Health (DPH), to:

Report back in 30 days in writing with an update on the County’s existing

Gender-Based Violence efforts and how they are supporting IPV/DV

work throughout the County. This report should explore how current

efforts could be improved, challenges, capacity and resource needs,

including funding for direct legal services, and opportunities for

expansion. This report should also identify opportunities to strengthen

coordination between existing GBV efforts and services for survivors of

human trafficking, including sex and labor trafficking, and address gaps

in access to survivor-centered services and supports;

Report back in writing in 60 days on recommendations for implementing

a Peer Navigator model to support IPV/domestic violence survivors.

These recommendations should be informed by domestic violence

advocacy programs, including the County’s Domestic Violence Coalition,

implementation plan and timeline. The report and recommendations

should be informed by those with lived experience and domestic violence

providers, along with additional key stakeholders, including those from

the LGBTQ+ and underserved communities;

Report back in writing in 120 days with recommendations on how to

better support survivors seeking civil protection restraining orders due to

physical or attempted violence, stalking, a credible fear of violence, or a

pattern of behavior that seriously alarms, annoys, or harasses and

causes substantial emotional distress. This report back should be

informed by legal service providers, advocates, and those with lived

experience;

Execute and administer a sole source contract with Downtown Women’s

Center; and execute further amendments as needed, for the provision of

consulting services for the implementation of the DV shelter referral

component of the Countywide Community Information Exchange (CIE),

formerly CareConnect; in an amount not to exceed $462,300. The CIE

platform will facilitate and improve access to domestic violence shelter

referrals for survivors and their families;

Report back in 120 days with recommendations on how survivors can

receive additional support and guidance throughout the restraining order

process, especially when service is unsuccessful or hearings are

delayed. These recommendations should include actionable steps to

strengthen communication and referral pathways between law

enforcement, legal service providers, Family Justice Centers, and

IPV/DV advocates to ensure that survivors are better equipped to

navigate these challenges while maintaining appropriate safety and

confidentiality protections. This report should also assess how and when

protected individuals are notified of successful or unsuccessful service

and identify opportunities for improved prompt, secure, and confidential

notice. The recommendations should be informed by lived experts,

IPV/DV advocacy providers, Family Justice Centers, law enforcement,

and other relevant stakeholders; and

In partnership with the Chief Probation Officer, Director of DMH, County,

Counsel, the Sheriff, and all relevant County departments, report back to

the Board in 120 days with recommendations to improve countywide

identification and intervention to prevent domestic violence-related

murders or murder-suicides. Recommendations should include

opportunities to connect perpetrators to violence-intervention programs

earlier in the law enforcement process and strengthen coordination

among IPV/domestic violence service providers, suicide prevention,

behavioral health, law enforcement, courts, and other relevant systems.

This should include any training, data-sharing, or policy changes needed

to implement these recommendations.

Instruct the Interim Director of Children and Family Services (DCFS):

In partnership with OVP, and in collaboration with the Directors of JCOD,

DMH, Homeless Services and Housing, DPSS, and LAHS, report back in

160 days on how the County may be able to leverage the Families First

Prevention Services Act (FFPSA) funding to support families, prevent

maltreatment, and reduce system involvement. This report back should

include a cost-benefit analysis examining whether the County should

explore FFPSA as a possible source for reimbursement funds, and what

would be required to ensure current providers and services qualify for

this Federal reimbursement.

In collaboration with the Mandating Supporting Initiative and OVP, explore

how DCFS can begin to offer and contract for targeted and effective

IPV/domestic violence services to families involved with the child welfare

system. These services should be provided to families free of charge, in

a culturally competent manner, and offer specialized support and

expertise for families with IPV/DV involvement. DCFS should detail how

their plans to begin offering these services and mechanisms to bring on

specialized IPV/DV providers in a 120-day report back, and include

possible funding sources, implementation timeline, and whether any

existing contracts can be amended to include this specialized scope of

work. This work should enhance any existing family supports currently

offered by the Department.

Instruct all applicable County Departments work with OVP, and with support

from the Internal Services Department, to ensure that DVRO informational fliers

and/or posters are printed and posted in all County facilities, particularly in

women’s or gender-neutral restrooms, and contracted agency bathrooms to

OVP and other relevant partners, to report back to the Board in writing in 60

days with an assessment of the funding and number of emergency beds

available for people and their children or family members fleeing IPV/DV; the

funding, beds, and subsidies available for stable housing; and the gap between

these existing resources and the need. This report should also:

Include feedback on how this population can be prioritized for existing

homeless service response services and housing resources;

Consider barriers survivors may face, such as family size, eligibility

requirements, safety concerns, pets, transportation, and others, when

assessing housing needs and developing recommendations This should

include barriers uniquely faced by the LGBTQ+ community;

Identify existing housing resources available to human trafficking

survivors, including survivors of sex and labor trafficking, and assess

gaps in access to emergency, transitional, and permanent housing for

survivors who may not qualify for or be served by existing IPV-specific

19.

Recommendation as submitted by Supervisor Horvath: Adopt the LA County

2028 Cultural Program Framework with the understanding that implementation is

contingent on identifying funding, resources, and staffing. Instruct the Director

of the Center for Strategic Partnerships to collaborate with the Director of Arts

and Culture, and any other relevant Departments, to seek philanthropic partners

for programs requiring additional funding in the 2028 Cultural Program

Framework. Instruct the Director of Arts and Culture to do the following:

the County, to coordinate and support planning efforts related to arts and

culture for the 2028 Games, at a minimum on a quarterly basis, effective,

January 1, 2027. The Department should utilize existing convenings,

such as the Municipal Arts Meeting, alongside virtual platforms to help

partners stay informed, share updates, and identify opportunities for

collaboration.

Explore a collaboration with the City of Los Angeles on a 2028 Poster

Competition that includes partnership with the cities of Paris and

Brisbane. If feasible, the competition should actively engage a select

group of Los Angeles-area colleges and art schools. Winning poster

designs should be promoted and made accessible on digital and printed

platforms.

Convene regular working group meetings with Department staff from LA

County Library, Parks and Recreation, Beaches and Harbors, the Los

Angeles City/County Native American Indian Commission, and any other

relevant Departments, to collaborate and leverage existing resources that

could generate cultural and artists opportunities in alignment with the

2028 Cultural Program Framework.

Direct County Department Heads, Chief Executive Officer, and Countywide

Communications to collaborate with the Director of Arts and Culture where

relevant, on programming, information, and promoting regional communications

campaigns to constituents in support of the 2028 Cultural Program Framework.

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

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

constitute an emergency pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 22050,

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

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
