Results: the official election results site. Counts are unofficial until certified.
- What it does
- CITY AIRPORTS, HARBOR, AND WATER AND POWER DEPARTMENTS. CHARTER AMENDMENT PRT. Shall the City Charter be amended to: require the Harbor Department to allocate funds for waterfront public access projects; require disclosure of workforce impacts for certain Harbor Department leases and agreements; increase maximum terms for certain leases; and change the composition requirement for the Airport Commission?
- A YES vote means
- LA's charter would require the Harbor Department to fund waterfront public access projects and disclose workforce impacts of certain leases, allow longer terms for certain leases, and change the membership requirement for the Airport Commission.
- A NO vote means
- LA's charter rules for the Harbor Department, these leases and the Airport Commission would stay as they are.
- Needed to pass
- A simple majority: more than half of the YES and NO votes on this measure must be YES. Leaving it blank doesn't count either way.
- Left–right lean
- Not a left–right issue: a procedural or local question that liberals and conservatives don't typically split on (AI read of the official ballot summary).
Background
According to the Chief Legislative Analyst's impartial summary, it would let the Council approve Airports and Water and Power leases of up to 66 years (now 50) with a finding that a term over 30 years is in the City's interest, and require three Airport Commissioners to live near LAX and two near Van Nuys Airport (now one each).
It would also require the Harbor Commission to set aside a portion of operating income each year for waterfront public access projects, and require Harbor District lease and development applicants to file a workforce impact disclosure.
The City Administrative Officer says the measure would codify the Harbor Department's practice of allocating 10 percent of operating income to its Public Access Investment Plan (historically about $28.6 million a year) and that the other changes are cost-neutral.
The City Clerk certified that the Council adopted the ballot resolution on June 30, 2026 'by a majority of all its members'.
