Salinas (rsalinasO)adorno.com) Subject: Southeast Local Educational Authority Maria. Mike. Ramon. Please see my email to Ken Wales of the Executive Office of the L.A. County Board of Supervisors about the SCSC's non-compliance with its conflict of interest code. I believe that the SCSC's conflict of interest code cannot be dissolved by the Board of Supervisors. In order to solve the problem for us and the Board of Supervisors, I also suggest that all current Board Members submit their resignations and file their leaving office statements. This way, no one will be left to comply with the SCSC's conflict of interest code. Therefore, Violet will be submitting resignations to each of you and any unfiled annual statements and a leaving office statement for you to file with us and we will file them with the Board of Supervisors. 2 This also may apply to Ramon Miramontes and me.

From: Jimmy Gutierrez Sent: Thursday, December 10, 2015 12:05 PM To: 'Wales, Ken' Cc: Violet Topete Subject: RE: Southeast Local Educational Authority Ken. Thank you for speaking to me today. Here is my thinking and how I would like to resolve the problem with this entity arising from the fact it is inactive but undissolved. First, the entity is still validly in existence and it complies with state law by having a conflict of interest code. Second, the entity is inactive and I have not been able to convene a quorum of former board member to adopt a resolution to dissolve the entity under its joint powers authority agreement. Third, I seriously doubt that the Board of Supervisors has the authority to dissolve the entity's conflict of interest code, because state law requires one and the Board's capacity as the reviewing body does not explicitly state it can dissolve the entity's conflict of interest code. Fourth, my secretary and I will seek to ascertain the identity of the last Board Members from each of the five participating cities. Then, we want to ascertain whether they filed a "leaving office statement." If not, we will ask each of them to do so and file them with you. Fifth, I will ask each current Board Member to file resignations of their Board positions and a leaving office statement and file those with you. 3 Once the above is done, each prior Board Member will have complied with the code and no further filings will be necessary because there are no Board Members. Thank you for working with me on this. Jimmy L.

From: Wales, Ken[mailto:KWalesCabbos.lacounty.gov] Sent: Monday, November 23, 2015 9:13 AM To: Jimmy Gutierrez Subject: Southeast Local Educational Authority Morning Mr. Gutierrez, Since you have been unsuccessful to convene a meeting of the Southeast Local Educational Authority (Authority) so as to dissolve themselves and their conflict of Interest code, I would like to propose another alternative. If you are in agreement with this suggestion then we can proceed in dissolving their conflict of interest code. If not then each person that is a designated position within the code will have to complete Annual Statements (Form 700's) until such time that they finally decide to meet to dissolve themselves. If you could provide a letter on your letterhead stating the following: • The Authority is no longer meeting and has not met since (date); • You have exhausted efforts to get the Authority to meet to complete the dissolution of their Authority and their conflict of interest code; • The Authority has no financial assets that would require them to be in existence; and • You are requesting as their general counsel to dissolve the Authority's conflict of interest code. I believe we can then proceed in dissolving their conflict of interest code and remove this obstacle. If you are in agreement of this proposal please send the letter to: Don Garcia, Division Manager Conflict of Interest/Lobbyist Division Executive Office, Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors 383 Kenneth Hahn Hall of Administration 500 W.
