Looking at what Scars said about Pete Millano:
Pete thought that the entire state of California was his. Would the remaining members, if any, from San Francisco and San Jose report to him?
By that point, when it came to California in an LCN context, it was Southern California. There were only a few members still living in San Francisco and San Jose and they likely had no contact with Milano.
Why would the Gambino Family be able to tell another Family Boss what to do? If anything shouldn't that dispute have been handled by Chicago?
The meeting was between people from the Gambinos and LA and the Gambinos were able to throw their weight around. Judging by what DiLeonardo said, LA was effectively seen as a non-entity by that point. And Chicago having a say on everything west of it was apparently no longer a factor either.
I'd say organized crime in California is dominated by the Cartels South of it's border. Many have sleeper cells established inside of California or work with some of the gangs there to transport in drugs.
Anyone have a list of current members? I could only think of Gambino is there not a couple more made guys left or is he the last man standing?

Here is what I have. Some of these guy's may be dead.
Louis "Little Man" Caruso/63 (Lives in Arizona)
Philip “Fat Philly” Dioguardi
Michael "Porno Mike" Esposito
Tommaso "Tommy" Gambino
Russell "Rusty" Massetta (Has lived in Cleveland since the 80s, probably dead)
Rocco "Rocky Bigfoot" Zangari/86
Robert “Bobby’ Paduano
Pogo
It's a new morning in America... fresh, vital. The old cynicism is gone. We have faith in our leaders. We're optimistic as to what becomes of it all. It really boils down to our ability to accept. We don't need pessimism. There are no limits.

And supposedly Zangari moved back to Buffalo at some point. Don't know if he's still alive. About half of the remaining members don't live in California anymore.
Don't forget Leonard "Limping Lenny" Montana Jr., the son of actor Lenny Montana (Luca Brasi from 'The Godfather').
Lenny runs a pizza joint abutting the UCLA campus in Westwood (West L.A.) called "Enzo's Pizzeria." (http://enzospizzeria.com/history/) I've eaten there a few times. The Calzone is excellent. (I'm not much of a pizza fan). Rumor is he's also got a handbook.
Silence is often misinterpreted, but never misquoted.
