We all know that any area of the City of LA seceeding isn't going to happen 
because it would be a huge mess.  But we are still left with the fact that LA 
City Hall cannot effectively serve the entire city.  

The best way to acclompish this would be to establish New York style burroughs 
with neighborhood councils in each.

1) Eliminate all City Commissions

2) Redraw all city council districts so that they do not divide up existing 
communities (such as in North Hollywood).  Each council district would then 
make up a borough.  

3) Each borough would elect a borough council who would be part time 
volunteers (with renumeration for some legitimate expenses).  Each borough 
would also elect a president who would be the administrator for that borough 
and the representative to the LA City Council.

4) Each city department would appoint (with the approval of the city council), 
an administrator who would be responsible for that department's city services 
for each borough.  The administrator would have to live in that borough.  The 
administrator would report to the borough president, the borough council and 
the City Council.  Each borough administrator would sit on a board of 
directors for their department (like a corporate board of directors).

5) The City Council would elect a mayor from amongst its ranks whose job would 
mostly be a figurehead and to chair city meetings.

6) The City Council would be the final arbiter of any dispute between 
boroughs. (other than legal issues appropriate for the court.)
