Reform LA: Commission Instructions
2023-06-01 10:00 - 12:00 | Cheviot Hills Recreation Center, 2551 Motor Ave, Los Angeles, 90064
The Ad Hoc Committee on Governance Reform has begun its listening sessions on potential reforms to our city’s redistricting process. This is a historic effort which is being led by the Council President and the more public participation the better, as reforms recommended by the committee will need to go to the full City Council and the voters for adoption, as many reforms would require changes to the City Charter.
Listening sessions will take place over the next few weeks and into the summer. The committee will make its recommendations to the full City Council in late summer and, if approved, will head to voters for their consideration in either March or November of 2024.
