MICLA

The Municipal Improvement Corporation of Los Angeles (MICLA) is a 501(c)4 non-profit financing
corporation established by the City in 1984 to assist in the financing of capital projects and equipment.
MICLA is directed by a five-member board whose members are appointed by the MICLA Board and
confirmed by the City Council. The City Administrative Officer is the liaison between the MICLA Board and
the City.

POSITION AUTHORITIES

Position authorities are categorized and granted depending on the need and length of time for the position.
The various position categories are listed below:

 Regular authorities are considered long-term, permanent, and ongoing positions required by the
City and are authorized by an ordinance adopted by the Council and Mayor.

 Resolution authorities are considered limited-term, temporary positions required by the City and are
authorized by Council resolution. These are generally associated with projects of limited duration or
funding.

 Substitute authorities are considered temporary authorities. They are often authorized to resolve a
variety of temporary staffing problems. These positions are generally unfunded. This authority is not
intended to allow for significant changes to the existing work program or budgetary authority.

 In-lieu authorities are considered temporary authorities. They exist to allow for limited management
flexibility in the level of the employee hired. An in-lieu authority can only be authorized at a level
equal to or lower than the level of the funded position. This authority is also not intended to allow for
significant changes to the existing work program or budgetary authority.
