L.A. County Governance Reform Task Force Virtual/In Person Inaugural Meeting

Noteworthy, is the fact most legislation by the County Board of Supervisors is imposed on unincorporated communities and NOT the residents of the City of Los Angeles.

The Governance Reform Task Force (GRTF) will hold its inaugural meeting on Friday, May 30, 2025, from 3:00 - 4:30PM — and you’re invited.

This marks the beginning of a significant transformation in local governance following the voter-approved Measure G, aimed at creating a more accountable, transparent, and community-centered government.

Your voice is vital to this historic process. Let’s build a more equitable and responsive LA County government — together.
