Centering Multidisciplinary Subject Matter Expert Leadership in Jail Closure Planning and Carceral Footprint Reduction - Recommendation as submitted by Supervisor Mitchell: Direct the Chief Executive Officer, through the Jail Closure Implementation Team (JCIT), in coordination with the departments listed below, and in accordance with JCIT’s existing coordinating authority, to ensure that future Men’s Central Jail (MCJ) closure planning is guided by a multidisciplinary process that draws on the expertise of subject matter experts from relevant County departments including, but not limited to, the Department of Mental Health, the Department of Health Services, the Department of Public Health, and the Justice, Care and Opportunities Department, as well as legal, clinical, and operations subject matter experts, justice system partners, and community stakeholders. This process should produce targeted departmental goals, related benchmarks, and recommendations for a comprehensive, Countywide justice reform strategy to close MCJ, that addresses pretrial services, facilities, alternatives to incarceration, behavioral health, housing, reentry, and other systemwide reforms. It should also incorporate budgetary considerations, program outcomes, and the recommendations necessary to safely reduce and serve the County’s jail population, and to align the County’s carceral footprint accordingly. Direct the Chief Executive Officer, through JCIT and the departments referenced above, to report back on the progress of Directive 1, including recommendations, implementation considerations, and any barriers requiring Board direction, as part of JCIT’s scheduled presentations to the Board.

59-A. Providing the County with Additional Tools to Respond to Environmental and Public Health Disasters As recovery from the June 17 fire at the Lineage Logistics, LLC (Lineage) continues, the County, City, and other regulatory entities continue to utilize the tools at its disposal to hold Lineage accountable for the cleanup. As residents of unincorporated East Los Angeles, Boyle Heights, and surrounding communities continue to live with odors and flies, regulatory agencies have given Lineage directives and citations to safeguard community wellbeing. The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (DPH) continues to issue citations and maximum allowable fines to Lineage for on-site unsanitary conditions and pest control violations. Beginning on July 29, 2026, DPH cited each violation separately, for a total of $2,000 per day. Additional citations would be issued if unsanitary or nuisance conditions continued during subsequent inspections. Additionally, on August 6, 2026, the South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD) ordered Lineage to strictly adhere to over 90 conditions designed to contain, reduce, and eliminate odorous emissions during ongoing cleanup activities. This included provisions related to mandatory waste removal, odor capture and neutralization, controlling air pollution, community communication and signage, language access, fenceline monitoring for volatile organic compounds, and more. Although the AQMD Hearing Board did not immediately impose any fines related to the violations, should Lineage fail to adhere to them, a second hearing would be called to implement enhanced penalties. Additionally, on August 4, 2026, the Board of Supervisors also approved the motion Responding to the Lineage Fire Impact on Small Business in Unincorporated East Los Angeles. In addition to providing assistance to small businesses, the motion also directed DPH to report back with recommendations on its current citation and fee structure, including considerations to increase penalties for violations with significant impacts on public and environmental health. If further directed DPH to provide recommendations for businesses with high risks of community exposure to have mitigation plans proactively in place to quickly address any emergencies. Although these actions help efforts to hold Lineage accountable, it is clear that additional enforcement mechanisms are needed. Since the posting of the agenda, we have learned that the State legislature is expected to consider several bills, including SB 717 (Durazo) that would authorize the County Board of Supervisors to impose fines, penalties, and forfeitures for violations of ordinances, as well as increase the amount of fines that may be imposed in violation of a County ordinance for large non-residential structures, up to $1,000 for the first violation, $2,000 for the second, and $5,000 for subsequent violations. Additionally, AB 817 (Gonzalez) contemplates additional mechanisms for County Public Health to address vectors and infestations. Given the deadline for State legislative action is August 31, 2026, the County must immediately engage on legislation that could enhance its ability to respond to the Lineage Fire and help be prepared for future environmental and public health emergencies. BASED UPON THE FOREGOING, AND PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 54954.2(b)(2), I, THEREFORE, MOVE that the Board determine: 1) There is a need to take immediate action; and 2) The need to take this action came to the attention of the Board subsequent to the posting of the agenda for today's meeting. I FURTHER MOVE that the Board of Supervisors provide the Chief Executive Office’s Legislative Affairs and Intergovernmental Relations branch with authority to support legislation to strengthen the County’s enforcement mechanisms to hold responsible parties accountable for public and environmental health emergencies, including but not limited to legislation that: 1. Increases the penalties that the County may impose on large violators; 2. Provides County departments with additional enforcement tools to rapidly address vectors, pests, and vermin in response to local emergencies; and/or 3. Provides the County with additional measures to weigh in on permitting processes for large industrial facilities, including rebuilding after an environmental disaster.Passed · 3–0
