The Beverly Hills City Council on Sept. 17 voted 4-1 to oppose measure G, an upcoming ballot measure in the November general election to expand the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. If approved by voters, the measure would increase the number of County Supervisors by five to a total of nine, establish an independent County Ethics Commission and create an office of an elected County Executive and new positions including the Director of Budget and Management and County Legislative Analyst.
The measure was co-authored by Board Chair Lindsey Horvath, 3rd District, and Supervisor Janice Hahn, 4th District, and approved by a 3-2 vote on July 30 with Supervisors Kathryn Barger, 5th District, and Holly Mitchell, 2nd District, dissenting, according to a staff report.
