The authority is governed by a 14-member board of directors, including the Mayor of the City of Los Angeles, 2 public members and one Los Angeles city council member appointed by the mayor, 4 members appointed from the other cities in the county, the 5 members of the board of supervisors, and one nonvoting member appointed by the Governor.
end insertbegin insertThis bill would expand the board of directors to 16 members by adding 2 members that reside in the County of Los Angeles, one member appointed by the Speaker of the Assembly and one member appointed by the Senate Committee on Rules and would prohibit these members from residing in the same city as another member of the authority, as specified.
end insertbegin insertBy requiring the board membership to be expanded, the bill would thereby impose a state-mandated local program.
end insertbegin insertThe California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.

end insertExisting law, the Flood Control Law of 1946, authorizes, on a project-by-project basis, and in accordance with designated plans, state participation in federal flood control projects, and specifies the degree of cooperation to be assumed by the state and local agencies in connection with those projects. Existing law provides that the Legislature intends to pay from the General Fund for the construction of flood control projects adopted and authorized by the Congress of the United States, recommended by the Department of Water Resources, and approved by the Legislature.
