LAHSA is governed by a politically appointed, 10-member Commission. Five members are selected by the County Board of Supervisors and five are chosen by the Mayor and City Council. Our Commission has the authority to make budgetary, funding, planning and program policies.
In addition, five LAHSA committees handle specific funding and policy issues and make recommendations to the full Commission. Each commissioner serves on a LAHSA committee; committees may also have non-Commission members who participate in discussions but do not vote on recommendations.
Meetings are open to the public, and we encourage public attendance and participation. Twenty minutes of each Commission meeting are reserved for testimony by the public, and each speaker is allowed three minutes. Speakers may address any topic not on the agenda. A "Request to Speak" form must be filled out and submitted to the secretary prior to the beginning of the public participation period.
Meeting agendas are posted 72 hours prior to the scheduled meeting time. For a listing of agendas and minutes, please refer to the Agendas & Minutes section. To read and print the documents, you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader. Click here to download a free copy of Adobe Acrobat.
Upon request, sign language interpreters, materials in alternative formats, and other accomodations are available to the public for LAHSA meetings. Requests for reasonable accomodations must be made at least three working days (72 hours) before the scheduled meeting time.
