Topline:
There’s a new way for Angelenos to change county government. Applications are open for a task force that will oversee the execution of L.A. County’s Measure G, a package of reforms that include the expansion of the Board of Supervisors.
What the task force will do: The 13-member Governance Reform Task Force will advise the L.A. County Board of Supervisors on how to implement the requirements of Measure G. Among the core responsibilities, the group will develop outreach plans, a way for budgets to be presented in public meetings, and a structure for an independent ethics commission.
Who’s eligible: You must be at least 18, live or work in L.A. County, have experience in outreach with marginalized groups and be able to analyze governmental functions in line with the law. Backgrounds could include experience in things like community organizing, public administration, policy development, or academia.
How to apply: Applications must be received by March 7. You should be able to commit approximately 20 to 40 hours a month, with per diem compensation amount that has yet to be set. You can learn more and apply on the county's website.
