Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors: Districts, Meetings and Public Participation

The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors adopts county policies, oversees county government, and takes formal action during public meetings. This guide explains how to find your supervisorial district, review agendas, participate in meetings, and locate records showing what the Board decided.

Independent information guide: This website is not affiliated with the Board of Supervisors or its Executive Office. Meeting arrangements, public comments, official records, constituent assistance, and access decisions are handled by the responsible county office.

Start here: Visit the official meeting and agenda page for the current meeting date, agenda, participation credentials, and related instructions. To identify your representative, use the county's district and precinct map lookup.

For general Board meeting assistance, interpreter requests, or disability-related accommodations, contact the Executive Office Customer Service Desk at 213-974-1411.

Board Responsibilities and Districts

The Board is the governing body of Los Angeles County, a charter county. It performs executive, legislative, and quasi-judicial functions, including adopting policies, overseeing county operations, and deciding certain matters presented for formal review.

County responsibilities extend across incorporated cities and unincorporated communities, although the services provided can differ by location. A county department, city government, court, and supervisorial office have different responsibilities.

District Representation

The Board currently has five members, each elected by voters in a supervisorial district. Members are limited to three four-year terms.

Supervisorial districts and Board members
District	Supervisor
First District	Hilda L. Solis
Second District	Holly J. Mitchell
Third District	Lindsey P. Horvath
Fourth District	Janice Hahn
Fifth District	Kathryn Barger

Use the official Board member directory to confirm current members and access district maps, member websites, and office information. For future changes to county governance, consult the county's Measure G information.

Constituent Assistance

For a neighborhood or constituent issue, identify the supervisor representing your address and use that office's contact information. Describe the issue, location, relevant county department, and any existing reference number.

A supervisor's department assignments or commission memberships do not replace district representation. Applications, appeals, and other formal submissions should still follow the responsible agency's procedures and deadlines.

Finding Your Supervisorial District

Use a residential address to identify your district. ZIP Codes, mailing-city names, and municipal boundaries do not necessarily match supervisorial boundaries.

The Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk's district and precinct map application supports district and address lookups.

Using the Address Lookup

Choose the address-search option.
Enter the residence's house number as instructed, without a fraction.
Enter the street name without a street type such as Avenue, Street, or Boulevard.
Select the matching address when prompted.
Review the supervisorial district separately from other political districts.

If no match appears, check spelling and the requested address format. Contact the relevant county office if the result remains unclear.

A mailing address containing a city's name does not establish that the property is within that city's boundaries. Use the county's official district and jurisdiction tools when determining whether an address is in an incorporated city or an unincorporated area.

Meeting Dates, Agendas and Location

Board meetings are generally held on Tuesdays at 9:30 a.m. Pacific Time. The published schedule includes regular meetings, public-hearing meetings, and special meetings. Dates, start times, locations, and participation arrangements may change.

Check the current meeting and agenda page before traveling or connecting remotely. Use the date and time listed for the specific meeting.

In-Person Meeting Location

The official participation page lists the Board Hearing Room at:

Kenneth Hahn Hall of Administration
500 West Temple Street, Room 381-B
Los Angeles, CA 90012

The Board Hearing Room is different from the Executive Office's Room 383 contact address. Confirm the location shown on the current meeting notice.

Reviewing the Agenda

Read the primary agenda and any supplemental agenda. Items may be added, revised, continued, or removed, and supporting documents may explain the proposed action in greater detail.

Confirm the meeting date.
Record the agenda item number and title.
Review the motion, recommendation, or report associated with the item.
Check supplemental materials and participation instructions.
Note any public-hearing requirements relevant to the matter.

Translated agendas may be available in Chinese, Spanish, and Tagalog. Select the available language option on the official meeting page.

An agenda lists matters scheduled for consideration. It does not establish that the Board approved them.

Speaking at a Board Meeting

Follow the official participation instructions and any additional directions announced during the meeting. Registration, speaking queues, and allotted time depend on the applicable meeting procedures.

In-Person Participation

The county provides kiosks and posted QR codes outside and inside the Board Hearing Room for signing up to address posted agenda items. Follow the registration instructions and remain available when your turn is called.

Prepare the agenda item number and a concise comment addressing the matter under consideration. Follow the meeting's instructions for general public comment when applicable.

Online Participation

Use the current meeting's online connection link. The county's published instructions describe registration through Webex before or during the meeting.

Complete the registration form and connect.
Allow microphone access in the application or browser.
Listen for the item you wish to address.
Use the Raise Hand feature when instructed to join the speaking queue.
Wait until the host calls on you before speaking.

Participants initially join a listening-only queue. When the allotted speaking time ends, the host may mute the line and return it to listening-only status.

Telephone Participation

Use the participation telephone number, access code, and password published for the specific meeting. These details can change, so verify them each time.

The published instructions direct callers to press *3 when the relevant item is called to enter the speaking queue. Wait for the host to unmute your line and call on you.

Pressing *3 again can remove you from the queue. Follow the current instructions if you need to rejoin.

Turn down other devices to avoid feedback. Follow the audio instructions from your participation connection rather than relying on a separate video stream, which may be delayed.

Language Assistance and Accommodations

For interpreter assistance or disability-related reasonable modifications or accommodations, contact the Customer Service Desk at 213-974-1411. Contact the office early and explain the meeting or service involved and the assistance needed.

Submitting Written Comments

Use the official Public Comment system after the relevant agenda is posted. Confirm that the selected meeting and agenda item match your intended comment.

Submission Steps

Complete the information requested by the form. The published instructions identify first and last names as required fields.
Select the agenda item or items you wish to address.
Select In Favor, Oppose, or Other.
Enter comments for the relevant items or upload a document containing them.
Follow the attachment limit shown by the system. Published instructions allow up to five documents.
Select Next, review the information, and complete the acknowledgment step to submit.
Keep any confirmation provided by the system.

Review any submission requirements or deadlines published for the specific meeting. If you need clarification about receipt or processing, contact the Executive Office.

Public Availability of Comments

The county states that submitted comments are public and viewable online. Review both the comment and attachments before submitting, and avoid including sensitive information you do not want published.

The published instructions describe daily updates to the comment page. A submission may not appear immediately; its absence from the public page does not by itself establish that it failed.

A written comment does not register you to speak during the meeting. Follow the separate in-person or remote procedure if you also want to provide oral comment.

Watching and Listening to Meetings

The Live Broadcast page provides meeting viewing and listening options, language features, and related meeting information.

Viewing or listening does not automatically place you in a speaking queue. Use the current participation instructions if you intend to address the Board.

Listening by Telephone

The county provides a separate listening-only telephone service with English and Spanish options. Obtain the current number and access codes from the official broadcast or participation page.

The listening-only line cannot be used to address the Board.

Language Options

The county offers live Spanish interpretation and additional language-translation options through its external player. Review the current broadcast page for available services and instructions.

Translated agendas, live interpretation, and stream translation serve different purposes. Contact the Customer Service Desk if you need assistance participating or understanding important meeting instructions.

Replays, Recordings and Transcripts

Use the Media Archive to find available meetings on demand. Search using the meeting date and review the relevant agenda item.

Transcripts and recordings may be posted after the meeting. Consult the official broadcast page for availability, television replay arrangements, and any copying charges.

For transcript or recording inquiries, the broadcast page lists 213-974-1424.

Confirming Board Actions

To determine what the Board actually decided, use the post-meeting record rather than relying on the original agenda or a news announcement.

Board records and their purposes
Record	What it provides	Research consideration
Agenda	Matters scheduled for consideration.	Listing an item does not establish approval.
Supplemental agenda	Additional or revised agenda material.	Review it with the primary agenda.
Agenda status	A concise description of the item's disposition.	An amended or revised approval may require additional document review.
Statement of Proceedings	The Board's recorded actions.	Use it to confirm the action and any recorded amendments or conditions.
Transcript or recording	Spoken discussion and proceedings.	Review it alongside the formal action record when researching a decision.
Supporting documents	Motions, reports, recommendations, letters, and related materials.	Identify the version associated with the action taken.

Searching Statements of Proceedings

The Statement of Proceedings and Minutes search provides options for transcripts, Statements of Proceedings, and supporting documents.

Start with the meeting date or a narrow date range.
Use the motion title, distinctive wording, or an exact phrase.
Select the document types relevant to your question.
Apply subject or district filters when useful.
Include Supporting Documents when using motion-by-district or category filters, as instructed by the system.

If an item was approved as amended or revised, check the recorded action and associated documents to understand the final version. A brief status label may not contain every condition or direction.

Approval of a motion does not necessarily mean that every implementation step has been completed. Follow subsequent reports or department updates when researching progress.

Correspondence and Older Records

Board Correspondence

The Board Correspondence database contains official department and agency documents, including reports, letters, and notifications associated with Board business.

Search by keywords or an exact phrase, submitting department or agency, and date range. Results can help identify a report connected with an earlier Board direction or a notification concerning delegated authority.

This database is separate from public comments and messages sent to an individual supervisor. The presence of a document in Board Correspondence does not by itself establish that the Board approved its contents.

Older Records and Public Records Requests

The Executive Office website provides Records of the Board services and a public records request entry point.

Before requesting a record, gather as many of these details as possible:

Meeting date or approximate date range.
Agenda item number.
Motion, report, or document title.
Responsible department or submitting agency.
The specific record or information requested.
Related references or documents already located.

Ask the office about records that are not available through the online systems. Availability, exemptions, copying arrangements, and processing depend on the request and applicable rules.

Executive Office and Commissions

The Executive Office supports the Board by preparing agendas, publishing Statements of Proceedings, maintaining official records, and providing administrative services.

Its responsibilities also include services connected with commissions, oversight bodies, assessment appeals, conflict-of-interest filings, and lobbyist registration. Visit the Executive Office website to identify the appropriate program.

Commission Meetings

A commission or oversight-body meeting is separate from a Board meeting. Confirm the body's name, agenda, location, participation rules, and records before attending or submitting comments.

Do not assume that the Board's Webex connection or comment form applies to every county commission.

Policies, County Code and Announcements

The meeting and agenda page links to the Board Policy Manual and County Code. When researching a rule, note the policy number or code section and review applicable amendments.

The Board newsroom provides announcements and related information. Use the formal meeting record to verify a Board action described in a news release.

Contacts and Office Locations

Choose the office responsible for your task. The Board Hearing Room, Executive Office, and Assessment Appeals Board have different room locations within the Hall of Administration.
