Changes in the civil service discipline provisions of Section 1016 shall not affect any proceeding or action that has been commenced prior to the Operative Date of this Charter.
(a) Changes in Boards. After the Adoption Date of this Charter, the Council and Mayor shall take all steps necessary to:
(1) Create Area Planning Commissions as prescribed in Section 552, and appoint the members of those boards whose terms shall commence July 1, 2000.
(2) Define the residency requirement for two members of the Airport Commission provided in Section 630 of this Charter, and appoint two additional members, whose terms shall commence July 1, 2000, so that commission composition satisfies the residency requirements.
(3) Define the residency requirement for the member of the Harbor Commission provided in Section 650 of this Charter prior to July 1, 2000. The Mayor shall appoint a member to the Commission satisfying the residency requirements of that ordinance if not otherwise satisfied, upon the first vacancy to occur in the Harbor Commission on or after July 1, 2000.
(4) Establish the procedures for the election process to elect two additional members to the Board of Fire and Police Pension Commissioners provided in Section 1104(a) so that the terms of the two additional members may commence on July 1, 2000.
(5) The Mayor shall appoint a City Employee Retirement System retiree to the first opening in a term of a commissioner of the Board of Administration for the Los Angeles City Employees Retirement System appointed by the Mayor, occurring on or after July 1, 2000.
(6) The Board of Water and Power Commissioners shall appoint a department retiree to replace one of the Water and Power Commissioners serving on the Board of Administration of the Water and Power Employees Retirement System, so that the term of that member may commence July 1, 2000.
(b) Rules, Regulations and Codes. After the Adoption Date of this Charter, and prior to its Operative Date:
(1) Each officer, department, agency, and board responsible for promulgating rules and regulations of the City under this Charter shall review all rules and regulations for which it is responsible, and amend and adopt rules and regulations consistent with this Charter to become effective July 1, 2000. The rules and regulations shall be submitted to the City Attorney sufficiently in advance of that date to permit City Attorney review.
(2) The City Attorney, City Administrative Officer and City Clerk shall review all provisions of the Administrative, Municipal, and Election Codes and report to the Mayor and propose to the Council the adoption of ordinances or amendments consistent with this Charter, to become effective July 1, 2000.
(c) Each department shall assess whether any changes in personnel or resources will be needed in light of changed duties under the new Charter, and make recommendations to the Mayor and Council.
If Section 241 of this Charter concerning Council size is amended through approval by the voters of a separate ballot measure at the same election at which this Charter appears on the ballot, Section 204(g) shall read as follows, rather than as stated in Section 204(g) in Article II of this Charter: “(g) Effective Date of Redistricting; Terms. The Council members elected in the election held in 2001 shall serve two-year terms. The Council districts adopted by ordinance in 2002 shall first become effective beginning with the election held in 2003, at which time, the entire Council shall be elected. The Council members elected in 2003 from the even-numbered districts shall initially serve two-year terms and the members elected in 2003 from odd-numbered districts shall serve four-year terms. Members of the Council elected in 2005 from the even-numbered districts shall serve four-year terms, and thereafter all Council members shall serve four-year terms. The two-year terms contained in this section shall not constitute a term of office for purposes of the term limits contained in Section 206 unless a member serves two two-year terms or the member has served two terms of office prior to initiation of the two-year term.”
In the event that this Charter is adopted by the qualified voters of the City of Los Angeles at the election held on June 8, 1999, but the provisions of Article IV and Article III relating to the Board of Education of the Los Angeles Unified School District are not approved by a majority of the qualified voters of that district voting at the election held on June 8, 1999, the provisions of Article IV shall be effective for elections of officers of the City only, and not for members of the Board of Education. In that event, the provisions of the Charter of the City of Los Angeles in effect immediately prior to July 1, 2000, shall remain in effect with respect to the Board of Education until amended.
In the event any of the sections included in these Transition Provisions become obsolete in the judgment of the City Attorney, by virtue of the completion of all acts required under the section, the section shall be deemed expired and the City Clerk shall secure removal of that section from the next printing of the Charter.
