LA County Board

20.\nImproving Transparency in Legal Settlements by Creating a Public-Facing\nDashboard and Updating Board Agendas\nRecommendation as submitted by Supervisor Horvath: Instruct the\nAuditor-Controller, in collaboration with County Counsel, to create a\npublic-facing information dashboard for settlements between the County and\nCounty executives, as defined in California Government Code Section 3511.1,\nsubdivision (d), that displays the settling party’s name, settlement amount, and\nClaims Board or Board of Supervisors approval dates. The dashboard should\nalso provide a link to each settlement agreement after it is posted on the\nExecutive Officer Statement of Proceedings website, so the public can easily\naccess settlements in a single online location. Going forward, for cases where\nthe Board, in closed session, voted to give authority to enter into a settlement or\nsettlement negotiations, once the settlement is finalized, instruct the Executive\nOfficer of the Board to describe the item in the agenda for the next regular\nBoard meeting in a way that reports the date when the settlement authority was\nauthorized, the party or case name as appropriate, the final settlement amount,\nand the result of the vote approving the settlement.
