About the Executive Office of the Department of the Board of
Supervisors
The charge of the Executive Office of the Board of Supervisors
is to perform ministerial functions for the Board of Supervisors.
Additionally, the Executive Officer provides administrative and
staff support to various County departments and commissions.
Until 1959, State law provided that the county clerk was ex
officio clerk of the board of supervisors in each county. However,
in that year legislation was enacted that allowed a county board
of supervisors to establish, by ordinance, a clerk of the board
of supervisors to be appointed by the board in the same manner
as other county officers are appointed.
On October 20, 1959, the Board of Supervisors of the County
of Los Angeles adopted an ordinance creating a Department of the
Board of Supervisors and establishing the position of Clerk of
the Board of Supervisors as its administrative head. In 1968,
the Board amended the Salary Ordinance to change the title of
Clerk of the Board to Executive Officer, Board of Supervisors.
Since July 1, 1968, four Executive Officers have served the Board.
Featured here are the organizational units which serve to meet
the objectives of the Executive Office.
