police Department, then directed by a three-man boa
The Health Commissioner advocated continuation of the exist-

ing plan which was a single headed department. President
Leeds of the Board of Public Utilities held similar views

for his department.
Decision on the Form of Government. At the end of
July the board had a working knowledge of the systems of
municipal government, derived in part from the solicited
explanations and suggestions described in the preceding
section. In addition the experience in government possessed by many of the board members played a part in their
decision. Underlying these considerations was the board's
awareness that the previous charters were rejected because
they had been regarded as radical departures.
Actual decision on the form of government was made on
July 26th when they adopted the report of Committee No. 2
which read as follows:
We recommend that the form of administration
provided in the new charter shall be that known
as the mayor and council form, with emphasis upon
the necessity for adequate executive power in the
office of mayor.4
With this settled the board could now move on to the

| Description | Marvin Abrahams. Functioning of boards and commissions in the Los Angeles city government. Los Angeles, California: University of California, Los Angeles (Ph.D., Political science), 1967. PART OF A SERIES: A critical component of the Commission's investigation centered on the idea that governance of the LAPD was shared between the Office of the Chief of Police, an administrative body, and the Board of Police Commissioners, a citizen body. To better understand the dynamic between these two entities, the staff of Heller, Ehrman, White, & McAuliffe researched the history of the Los Angeles City Charter, focusing primarily on its provisions regarding the distribution of power and the structure and organization of the LAPD. Included in the series are reproductions of reports, dissertations, article clippings, excerpts from city documents, and charter amendments related to the charter's conception and development over time. The series also includes several summaries of expert witness interviews regarding the effectiveness of this structure. |
