to the boards that would enable them to govern the
-4-mpnts. The next section placed all boards or com-
depa**"
ions "under the standard citizen board form of organiza-
ion" unless otherwise specified.
General managers were to be exempt from Civil Service
xcept when placed under it by action of the Board of Freeholders. Mindful of Dykstra's advice not to disregard provisions of the existing charter placed there by specific
vote of the electorate, the board continued the Fire and
Police Chiefs' under Civil Service. A general manager
could not be a member of the board at the time of appointment, nor one year prior to appointment.
Attention now turned to the problem of placing individual departments under the board form. One last decision
had to be made when the Committee on Public Safety submitted two plans. Plan one called for separate departments
of Police, Fire, Health, and Building and Safety each under
a standard board plan. Plan two proposed a Public Safety
Commission with a departmental general manager having under
him a Chief of Police, Fire Chief, and Health Officer. The
n
freeholders adopted plan one at their October 4th meeting.
They followed this decision with specific votes during the
Freeholders Minutes, Nov. 1, 1923.

| 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. |
