    Tim O’Connor Appointed as New Ratepayer Advocate

    May 25, 2025 in City of Los Angeles

    New Leadership at Office of Public Accountability

    The Los Angeles City Council has confirmed Tim O’Connor as the new Executive Director and Ratepayer Advocate of the Office of Public Accountability (OPA). His five-year term was approved on Tuesday following his appointment by the Mayor.

    OPA is an independent office created by the City Charter to oversee the Department of Water and Power (DWP). It serves as a watchdog for rate proposals and department operations. Although funded by the DWP, the office maintains financial independence.

    Succeeding Longtime Advocate Fred Pickel

    O’Connor replaces Dr. Fred Pickel, who served as Ratepayer Advocate for over ten years. Pickel earned respect for his ability to balance collaboration with DWP and City Hall while protecting the interests of ratepayers through honest and thorough analysis.

    What O’Connor Brings to the Role

    Tim O’Connor brings decades of public policy and environmental leadership experience. Those who have worked with him describe him as experienced, principled, and thoughtful. His appointment is expected to ensure that the OPA continues to promote transparency, accountability, and strong advocacy for residents.
