The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors (LAC BOS) is the five-member governing body of Los Angeles County, California.
Members of the Board are officially nonpartisan, and are elected by constituents of their respective districts. As of 2016, they are:
Hilda Solis
District 1
since 2014
Mark Ridley-Thomas
District 2
since 2008
Sheila Kuehl
District 3
since 2014
Janice Hahn
District 4
since 2016
Kathryn Barger
District 5
since 2016
Supervisors are elected to four-year terms by a vote of Los Angeles County citizens who reside in the supervisorial district. Supervisors must reside and be voters in the district they represent. Elections for the First and Third Districts coincide with California's gubernatorial elections, while those for the Second, Fourth and Fifth districts coincide with the United States presidential election. Supervisorial terms begin the first Monday in December after the election.
To curb the powers of the five supervisors, Los Angeles County voters passed Measure B in March 2002 with a majority of 64%, to limit the supervisors to three consecutive four-year terms. If a supervisor fills a vacancy, the unexpired term counts towards the term limit if there are more than two years (half the term) left to serve. The provisions of the measure were not retroactive, meaning that the term limit clock for supervisors who were serving at the time the measure passed would start with the next election. Don Knabe, Mike Antonovich, and Yvonne Brathwaite Burke could continue to serve until 2016 (Brathwaite Burke chose to retire in 2008), while Gloria Molina and Zev Yaroslavsky could continue to serve until 2014.
