Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors Meeting - 9/15/26

The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors convened on September 15, 2026, addressing several key issues including emergency management afteraction reviews, homelessness services, and a significant motion on addressing deputy gangs within the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. The board received a detailed presentation on the afteraction review of the Eaton and Palisades fires, highlighting successes and areas for improvement in disaster recovery, repopulation, sheltering, and public health coordination. A motion was passed directing the CEO to report back on implementation progress of recommendations within 90 days and every six months thereafter. The board also discussed the transition of Continuum of Care (COC) leadership from Lassa to the county, emphasizing the need for accountability and collaboration with the City of Los Angeles. A major portion of the meeting focused on a motion introduced by Supervisor Holly Mitchell to identify and address deputy gangs in the Sheriff's Department, including financial exposure and accountability measures. The Sheriff acknowledged the issue and outlined steps taken to combat gang activity, while public comment overwhelmingly supported the motion, calling for transparency and reform. The board voted to bifurcate and continue parts of the motion pending further report on meet and confer requirements. Additionally, the board recognized community members and groups for various contributions and adjourned with a selection of a new director for child support services in closed session.
