Full summary

The Mayor submitted a nomination on June 8, 2026 to reappoint Sung Sohn to the Los Angeles City Employees Retirement System (LACERS) Board of Administration. LACERS is the fiduciary body responsible for overseeing pension and retirement benefits for eligible city employees, including investment management and benefit administration. If confirmed, Sohn's new term would run through June 30, 2031. Sohn resides in Council District Five, and the current board composition following this appointment would stand at four women and two men. The Personnel and Hiring Committee took up the nomination on June 26, 2026, reviewing both the Mayor's June 8 report and a City Ethics Commission report dated June 16, 2026. The committee voted to recommend approval, with Councilmembers McOsker and Soto-Martinez voting yes and Rodriguez absent. The nomination now moves to the full City Council for final confirmation. The Council faces a deadline of July 1, 2026 to act, making this a time-sensitive matter. Sohn has filed a financial disclosure statement, and no community impact statements have been submitted. The appointment is not official until the full Council votes.
