Board approves bulk agenda items; items on probation and diversion continued to April 1
Summary
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved a package of consent and administrative items on March 18, 2025, and continued agenda items concerning the Department of Probation’s global plan and AB 12 31 to the April 1 meeting; a closed-session labor item produced no reportable action.
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on March 18 approved a package of consent and administrative items and postponed two contested items related to probation reform and diversion advocacy to a later meeting.
A motion by Supervisor Lindsey Horvath, seconded by Supervisor Mitchell, approved the bulk of the day’s agenda as read by the executive officer. The items approved included multiple consent calendar and administrative items (listed by the executive officer as items 2, 4–8, revised item 10, 12–18, 19, 20–31, 34–37, 38A, 41–43, and Los Angeles County Development Authority items 1D–3D). During the roll call the executive officer recorded aye votes from Supervisors Mitchell, Horvath, Hahn and Barger; the motion carried with those recorded aye votes.
Two items were explicitly continued: item 9 (Department of Probation global plan matter) and item 11 (motion supporting AB 12 31 and related budget advocacy). Both continuances were scheduled for the board meeting on April 1, 2025. The executive officer announced the continuances before the board vote and the public record shows members of the public had spoken at length on those matters before the continuance was set.
In addition, the board convened in closed session on CS1 (conference with legal counsel regarding anticipated litigation) and CS2 (conference with labor negotiators, with Fizia Davenport named among designated staff). On return to open session the executive officer reported that for CS2 (conference with labor negotiators) there was “no reportable action.”
The day’s voting sequence followed the agenda reading and public comment; the executive officer called the roll for the approving motion after public comment concluded. The board also scheduled the next public hearing meeting for March 25, 2025, and noted a board meeting in Sacramento on March 19, 2025.
Votes recorded in the transcript: the roll call for the bulk approval recorded aye votes for Supervisor Mitchell, Supervisor Horvath, Supervisor Hahn and Supervisor Barger; the board announced the motion carried. The transcript separately records Supervisor Horvath’s earlier motion on item 3 (Nowruz proclamation), which passed 5–0.
