Los Angeles County Division
The Los Angeles County Division is made up of 86 cities within Los Angeles County and provides members with the opportunity to exchange ideas and information and share the advantages of cooperative advocacy. It includes more than 11 million people, stretches 4,500 square miles — making it one of the nation's largest counties — and is led by more than 550 elected officials.

The division is guided by an executive committee under the leadership of a division president. Elected city officials and professional city staff attend division meetings throughout the year to share what they are doing and advocate for their interests in Sacramento. Division members also participate in the development of Cal Cities policy through representation on:
- The Cal Cities Board of Directors;
- Policy committees;
Division Officers
- Commission on Alcohol & Other Drugs
- Commission on Local Governmental Services
- Countywide Criminal Justice Coordination Committee
- Emergency Medical Services Commission
- Los Angeles County Metropolitan Authority Technical Advisory Committee
- Solid Waste Management Committee/Integrated Waste Management Task Force
The Los Angeles County Division (Division) recognizes the need for an active and timely county, state, and federal advocacy program to protect the interest of cities throughout Los Angeles County. As a subunit of the League of California Cities (Cal Cities), the Division relies on Cal Cities’ Summary of Existing Policy and Guiding Principles as the primary tool for a focused advocacy strategy for the Division’s Board of Directors and staff.
The Division’s Legislative Platform is intended to help direct staff, in consultation with the Division President and Vice President, to act on a time-sensitive issue when the Division’s Executive board is unable to meet. The Legislative Platform is not exhaustive of all issue areas of relevance to the Division and is not intended to supplant the deliberative role and actions of the Division’s Legislative Committee.

The Division's Board of Directors meet every fall to review the previous year’s accomplishments and adopt strategic goals for the following year.
The Board of Directors identified these Division Strategic Priorities for 2023:
- Support legislation, policies, funding and other resources that would improve public safety and address law enforcement challenges.
- Support adequate funding and other resources to increase the supply of affordable housing and its required infrastructure.
- Advocate for direct funding and other resources to address homelessness.
- Support legislation and policies that protect and preserve local decision-making authority over land use, housing, and other matters traditionally reserved for cities. Oppose unfunded mandates and seek funding for prior unfunded mandates.
The Board of Directors also identified Long Range Strategic Priorities:
- Outreach to federal, state and county representatives, specifically newly-elected and those officials in leadership.
- Encourage Los Angeles County Division city officials to apply for Cal Cities’ leadership positions and other related committee appointments to reflect the region’s population and influence.
- Provide educational and training opportunities for Los Angeles County Division city officials on effective legislative outreach and advocacy.
- Communicate and share value of Cal Cities and Division resources.
