Every Tuesday (except for Holidays and Election Day) the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors meet at the Hall of Administration located at 500 W. Temple Street in Los Angeles.  The meetings are scheduled to start at 9:30 in the morning, unless the preceding Monday is a holiday in which case the meeting is scheduled to begin at 1:00 in the afternoon.

It has been my experience, as a consistent Board watcher, that the meetings rarely if ever start on time at 9:30.  Rather the meeting is likely to begin at 10:00, 10:30 or even later Thus my goal this year is to provide the good people of Los Angeles County a snapshot of how the Board spends its time at each meeting.  The form below breaks the Board down into three segments: Pomp and Pageantry (the time the Board spends on commendations, adjournments, and other puffery), The People’s Business (the time the Board spends on items affect and effect our lives) and Public Comment (the time when members of the Public may address the Board on items not on the agenda but under their purview).

Meeting Date: January 10, 2012 – Called to order at 09:52

*Public comment was combined with Item 12, so the time reflects the combined speaking time for both items.
