LAFCO staff says ranked‑choice report stands but will provide redline edits for review
Summary
LAFCO staff reported advocates submitted suggested edits to the ranked‑choice voting study; Jason Fried told commissioners a letter from Corey Cook indicated the original terminology was acceptable but a redline was provided for review. Commissioners expressed no strong desire to change the report.
Jason Fried, LAFCO staff, updated commissioners on the voting‑process study and a recent set of suggested edits from ranked‑choice voting advocates. Fried said the advocates and Chair Campos met with staff and that a redline report of suggested edits was included in the commissioners' packet.
Fried said the commission had also received a late letter from Corey Cook. "Basically, what he's saying is that the terminology that was used in the original report was... fine," Fried said, summarizing Cook's letter and noting some suggested edits by another commenter, "Mr. Hill," were more traditional in phrasing.
Commissioner Abalos said he did not feel strongly about making changes and thought the original report "served our purposes here." No public speakers addressed this item during the meeting; commissioners did not take further action to amend the report on the record.
What’s next: The redline report and the late letter are available to commissioners for review; staff indicated the commission may accept or reject the suggested edits but did not record a formal vote on edits at this meeting.
