The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a $2 million settlement for the county's CEO due to what she called distress caused by Measure G, which turned the selection process for her position into an election.
Fesia Davenport was appointed as the LA County CEO in January 2021, but come 2028, voters will now decide who assumes the job, versus what has always been an appointment from the other supervisors. Davenport said in a letter obtained by the Los Angeles Times that the change, which would require her to re-run for her position and went into effect when Measure G was passed by voters in 2024, has caused her "physical, emotional and mental distress."
The measure, which was approved by supervisors in a 3-2 vote, also increased the size of the board from five members to nine.
The settlement decision was made on July 29, 2025, during a closed session. Davenport accepted the $2 million personal payout from the county, and a CBS Los Angeles source says that other supervisors feared she would sue the county for allowing the changes to her position.
