Supervisors weigh $1.48 million in community-directed spending, final budget adoption
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors considered adopting the final budget for the fiscal year that began July 1, along with nearly $1.5 million in targeted funding for community policing, agriculture education, and arts programs, according to the board’s June 22 agenda. Minutes from that meeting and two other recent sessions were not available by press time, so final votes could not be confirmed.
Budget and targeted programs
On June 22, the board was scheduled to vote on the proposed FY 2026-27 Final Budget and an accompanying appropriations limit. The agenda also included $1,482,000 in agreements with the Los Angeles County Development Authority: $1,007,000 for community policing efforts and $475,000 for cooperative extension services. A separate $125,000 agreement with the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts would support arts programming.
Other items on the same agenda included a delegation of authority for contracting and grant acceptance across four departments—Arts & Culture, Homeless Services, Economic Opportunity, and Communications—and the adoption of the county’s 2025-26 budget resolution as presented by the Auditor-Controller.
Fire recovery contracting and probation staffing
On June 23, supervisors were set to decide whether to extend emergency contracting authority for debris cleanup and reconstruction following the January 2025 windstorms and wildfires that included the Palisades, Eaton, Hurst, and Kenneth fires. The proposal would allow no-bid contracts and amendments to existing on-call recovery agreements. A separate item sought continuation of an ordinance temporarily relaxing civil service hiring and discipline rules for the Probation Department during a declared staffing emergency.
Fire safety, youth justice, World Cup grant
The board’s June 30 agenda included a package of fire safety budget requests targeting Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones. Supervisors were also expected to discuss the creation of an “Ending Girls Incarceration” (EGI) Initiative Team focused on reducing the detention of girls and gender-expansive youth, and to consider an ordinance updating political campaign contribution and expenditure limits.
Also on the June 30 agenda: a $12,571 parking fee waiver for the Gloria Molina Grand Park Summer Block Party and acceptance of a $398,954.41 Federal Emergency Management Agency grant for safety and security services related to the 2026 World Cup.
Coming up
The Board of Supervisors meets next on July 7. Among the posted items is a directive to county staff to draft a Community Opportunity to Purchase Act (COPA) ordinance for unincorporated Los Angeles County within 180 days. The meeting will also include a report on efforts to secure state and philanthropic funding to preserve the Public Health Councils Program, along with a public outreach mandate for landlords and qualified purchasers. A closed session on anticipated litigation is scheduled, with one case continued to July 14.
