After two cancelled meetings, the board will consider a brush-clearance motion for fire-impacted properties, an East L.A. oil-spill follow-up and a $20.4 million building purchase

The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors will meet at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday in downtown Los Angeles for its first regular session in three weeks, taking up an agenda that includes several Altadena fire-recovery items along with countywide business.

The agenda — the first since meetings on May 26 and June 2 were cancelled — includes a motion calling for efforts to address hazardous vegetation and brush clearance at fire-impacted properties in Altadena and the unincorporated Santa Monica Mountains, according to the meeting log posted on the board’s website.

The meeting will be held in Board Hearing Room 381B at the Kenneth Hahn Hall of Administration, 500 W. Temple St. It will also stream live on the board’s website.

The agenda also lists an ordinance to designate Altadena’s Historic Highlands neighborhood as a county historic district, a recommendation from the Department of Public Health to terminate the local health emergency declared after the January 2025 critical fire events, and a development-authority loan for the fire-damaged Altadena Vistas Apartments — a 21-unit senior housing complex impacted by the Eaton Fire.

The Eaton Fire began Jan. 7, 2025, in Altadena, destroying more than 9,000 structures and consuming more than 14,000 acres, according to Los Angeles County Recovers.

Fifth District Supervisor Kathryn Barger, who represents Altadena, has previously addressed several of the recovery items.

“As the County takes on more than $2 billion in infrastructure repairs in Altadena, we need a dedicated team whose only job is to move this work forward,” Barger said in February, when the board advanced a separate Disaster Recovery Rebuild Authority for Altadena and the unincorporated Santa Monica Mountains.

Beyond Altadena, the supervisors are scheduled to consider approval of a $20.4 million purchase of a building currently leased by the county’s Department of Public Social Services, according to the agenda.

The agenda also includes a request for a report on the status of the recent East Los Angeles oil spill. On May 22, an underground 16-inch crude oil pipeline operated by Pacific Pipeline System ruptured near East Cesar E. Chavez Avenue and North Eastern Avenue after a directional-drilling crew struck the line, according to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health. The county said the release was approximately 2,400 gallons and that oil entered storm drains and the Los Angeles River.

In a statement issued the day of the rupture, 1st District Supervisor and Board Chair Hilda L. Solis said, “I am calling for an immediate and thorough investigation into this incident to determine how this occurred and to ensure all responsible parties are held accountable.”

The supervisors will also receive a report on county efforts to curtail street racing and takeovers — a quarterly report from the Chief Executive Officer prepared in collaboration with the Department of Public Works, the Department of Youth Development, the Sheriff’s Department and County Counsel. The report is a regular recurrence directed by a November 2024 board motion and was moved from the cancelled June 2 meeting.

Written public comments may be submitted through publiccomment.bos.lacounty.gov. The Executive Office can be reached at (213) 974-1411. The next regular meeting is scheduled for June 16.
