Measure PRT: City Airports, Harbor, and Water and Power Departments Charter Amendment
Source: results.lavote.gov
What does this measure do?
Lets the city sign airport and water-and-power leases up to 66 years instead of 50, requires more airport commissioners to live near LAX and Van Nuys, and makes the Port of Los Angeles set aside part of its income for public waterfront projects. No cost to taxpayers.
Proposed by: Los Angeles City Council (Ordinance 188982, approved July 9, 2026)
The city's elected council. It called a special election on this change to the city charter (the city's rule book). A charter change needs a majority of voters to pass.
