As the popularity of New Public Management theory rose in the late 20th century, contracting out government services became a big debate. The debate is whether contracting out government services makes the government more efficient and effective of their operations. This research paper provides an extensive literature review of the history of contracting out services and the effects of this mechanism in the federal, state, and local government. The aim of this research is to provide a systematic case study of the process and effects of contracting out government services in the County of Los Angeles. Through this systematic review and analysis, this study hopes to contribute its findings of both positive and negative effects for future public administrators who will consider contracting out as an alternative tool in administrating county governments.
This book studies Los Angeles County and its government since World War II. A special focus is given to the "Titans of Temple Street," the five-member Board of Supervisors that determines policies and actions for many issues throughout the county, especially for residents who do not live in the county's 88 cities. It is the largest of all U.S. counties, with a population of more than 10 million, more residents than 41 states, and an annual budget of more than $44 billion, more than all but 19 states. It has served as an innovative example of county government since the early 1900s.
In 1997 the State of California Legislature created the Commission on Local Governance for the 21st Century to review current statutes &, where appropriate, recommend revisions to the laws that govern city, county, and special district boundary changes. Over a period of 16 months, the Commission held 25 days of public hearings, received over 100 recommendations, and had nearly 90,000 visits to the commission's website. Based upon this extensive input and deliberations on the information received, the Commission has issued this report, which concludes with a strategic plan for its implementation by the California Legislature.
