Councilmember Macosker moved for a 45-day timeframe; a separate amendment to set a 60-day return date failed on a 7-7 tie.

Macosker framed the motion as a way to require a staff report and a plan for implementation before the council acts to end or extend the declaration. \"Continuar el estado de emergencia por 45 d\u0000edas ... hasta el 3 de octubre de 2025,\" Macosker said, asking the council to set a calendar date for further review so staff, departments and community stakeholders could prepare implementation materials.

City legislative staff reported that existing state statutes would allow many housing and homelessness programs to continue without the local emergency declaration and that the 45-day briefing would focus on contract lists, procurement impacts and implementation steps. The legislative analyst said the second portion of the staff report would review contracts and procurement timelines that could be affected if the declaration were ended.

Councilmembers sharply debated the use of emergency authority. Councilmember Rodr\u0000edguez said she opposed extending the emergency: she criticized the loss of council oversight when the administration uses emergency contracting and pressed for more transparency and in-house capacity rather than outsourcing. Other members, including Councilmember Bloomfield and Councilmember McCusker, urged moving the matter quickly while ensuring first-responder and departmental input.

An amendment proposed to extend the return deadline to 60 days (moved and seconded during the floor debate) resulted in a 7-7 tie when the council voted; a tie vote failed under council rules. After further procedure the council set the 45-day return and directed legislative and administrative staff to provide a second-phase report addressing contracts, procurement and a plan for an orderly transition.

Separately, the meeting record shows committee action related to the item: the Housing and Homelessness Committee considered aspects of the motion and recorded a committee-level vote noted in the meeting as 3 in favor and 1 opposed on a related referral; the council instructed staff to return with the requested materials within the 45-day timeframe.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council Meeting SAP - 8/20/25","oneSentenceSummary","Councilmember Macosker moved to return the city's homelessness emergency declaration to the council in 45 days for further planning; an amendment to extend the deadline to 60 days failed on a 7-7 tie.

The council approved the amendment as part of item 42 after members pressed for more explicit fire-safety review.

Councilmember Rodríguez introduced the amendment and Councilmember Park seconded it. Several councilmembers — including Park and Bloomfield — voiced concerns that the ordinance as originally drafted could affect evacuation routes and firefighter access. Park said she was \"not convinced\" the council had heard enough from first responders, and Bloomfield urged simultaneous consultation so the ordinance would not be delayed by later review.

Councilmembers described the amendment as a procedural protection: it requires that the drafting of any code change include preliminary feedback from the Los Angeles Fire Department, the fire marshal and other state or local entities with fire-safety jurisdiction, and that those consultations occur concurrently with drafting so the ordinance could move forward within the existing legislative window.

On the council floor, members cited examples from other cities and said the changes could increase production of smaller, lower-cost housing while maintaining fire-safety standards. The council announced the amended motion and the vote tally for the amendment as 14 in favor during the meeting; city staff will incorporate fire-agency feedback into the ordinance language before returning to the council.

Speakers during the debate stressed that consultation does not mean automatic approval of any draft language by first responders but is intended to ensure the city addresses safety concerns before adopting final code changes.

The council opened and closed the vote on the amended motion and announced the result on the dais; staff will prepare the ordinance language incorporating the requested consultations.","After a lengthy debate about evacuation routes and firefighter resources, the City Council adopted amendments instructing staff to consult Los Angeles Fire Department officials and related agencies while proceeding with an ordinance intended to ease small-site housing construction.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6482227,"City Council unanimously designates two Terminal Island buildings as historic",560,5733000,6293000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5608975-4dd41f00520b3e4e5543be8392349cd1&start=5733&end=6293","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5608975-4dd41f00520b3e4e5543be8392349cd1/thumbnail_5733000.jpg","/articles/6482227/California/City-Council-unanimously-designates-two-Terminal-Island-buildings-as-historic","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6482227-b07b6dc7383e0ff82d05a0a15679c7f9/orig.mp4?Expires=1770450852&Signature=Kp7R1bZ8h1OsXaKclARsZNMFph9Qx7mhfKKn3J7zmSBsuJPXdN~uZ2~n8hAe3uV4Ed9tqnSI9kCtGV37pMiJfvIv8F2OVj3ZuyvrAkE1qKKPCzgqrO-5aA2YbvC09lKdAuudJLeC2sUyKM3EBlb3~gl9IneplJQDT3uk6HwJoSF8psRnOHUZrHMgHHfRQlUffhIHFO2DxAEwNUtjYUfBIm9qzO13yEUIHrLit80HwfOunez6NbslWZTzgWvXnXukYMPyw1TDPWXbfw7xIgk2Xc8LIHJSo2qGCc0b0mLhxgH7kv7rsllCX3IhypCJNDW6L9sV2eFwpgpy4ePz6JQHFg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Los Angeles City Council voted 14-0 to designate two remaining buildings on Terminal Island as historic-cultural monuments, a move supporters said preserves the physical memory of a once-vibrant Japanese American fishing community that was displaced during World War II.

Councilmember Macosker introduced the request, recounting Terminal Island's history as a Japanese American fishing village and the community's loss after Pearl Harbor and subsequent internment. \"A la isla terminal ... fueron 20 años mi nacimiento de estos años,\" Macosker said, describing the community's erasure and the two buildings that remain as tangible links to that history.

Advocates and local preservation groups urged the council to act. Wolf Fu Gioka, identified as a community member and historic-preservation advocate, told councilmembers the two buildings are among the few remaining structures that convey the island's history. Paul Harrozzi Boy\u0000e9, who described himself as president of a local association, and Andrew Somillian, director of advocacy at the Los Angeles Conservancy, also spoke in favor of designation, saying the move would protect the site and allow restoration work.

Supporters described the vote as a restitution of memory and a way to ensure the island's story remains visible. Councilmembers cited cooperation with the Port of Los Angeles and community stakeholders in bringing the measure forward.

The council opened, closed and tabulated the vote during the meeting; the tally was announced as 14 in favor. Councilmember Macosker urged colleagues to approve the designation so the buildings could be repaired and serve as a living reminder for future generations.

The council took the vote immediately after the public comment period and announced the result on the dais. The item will be followed by implementation steps coordinated among city staff, the Port of Los Angeles and community partners, according to remarks on the floor.","The Los Angeles City Council voted unanimously to designate the two remaining Terminal Island buildings discussed at Tuesday's meeting as historic-cultural monuments, citing the island's Japanese American fishing community and World War II internment history.","actionData","errors"]
