The Los Angeles City Council voted on two homelessness‑related items during a field hearing in the San Fernando Valley: the quarterly report associated with the city’s emergency declaration and an amendment asking city departments to coordinate with the county’s Emergency County Resource Center (ECRC) efforts.

Councilmember Paul Krekorian? No — the transcript records the speaker as Councilmember Rodriguez. Councilmember (first reference in the transcript) said he would register a "no" on the emergency‑declaration report for reasons of accuracy and oversight. "While we remain in a state of emergency ... we still lack the clarity on the full scope of what the emergency has accomplished," Councilmember Rodriguez said, arguing the CAO report conflated operations that predated or operated independently of the emergency with outcomes attributable to the declaration. He said presenting such activities as accomplishments of the emergency declaration "represents a falsehood" and said he would vote no to preserve oversight and fiscal accountability.

When the roll was called on that item the clerk reported "13 ayes, 1 no." The transcript indicates Rodriguez cast the lone no vote.

Council then considered item 5 along with an amendment introduced by Councilmember Rodriguez and Councilmember Bloomfield (amendment 5A). Rodriguez described the amendment as intended "to create a clearer framework for collaboration with the county as they are standing up these operations," asking the city's chief administrative officer, city attorney and housing department (CAO, CLA, LAHD) to report on how city and county resources could be jointly used for outreach, cleanups and housing placements and to recommend ways to avoid duplicative efforts. Rodriguez said his own experience with county cooperation had been effective and urged the council to accept county offers to leverage resources.

The council approved the amended motion. The clerk reported "14 ayes." The transcript captures Rodriguez describing the amendment as: "It requests that the CAO, CLA, and LAHD tell us how the city and county can jointly use their resources to support daily homeless operations, whether that's outreach, cleanups, or housing placements."

Actions and votes recorded in the meeting record:

- Item 4 (agenda item 4, subject: quarterly report tied to the emergency order): vote tally 13 ayes, 1 no. Outcome: approved. Councilmember Kevin de León? No — transcript shows Councilmember Rodriguez explained and registered a no vote; no mover/second provided in the record.

- Item 5 (agenda item 5, as amended by Rodriguez/Bloomfield amendment 5A): motion asked CAO, CLA and LAHD to prepare a report and recommendations for city‑county coordination on encampment operations. Vote tally 14 ayes. Outcome: approved.

Council discussion emphasized two running themes: accurate attribution of operational outcomes to the emergency declaration and creating operational mechanisms to coordinate city and county efforts without adding another intermediary. Rodriguez said a collaborative, lane‑respecting approach had worked in earlier pilots and could improve efficiency and placements; other council members supported the amended motion.

Ending: Both votes passed; the council directed staff to proceed with the requested coordination review under amendment 5A. The record shows one recorded no vote on the quarterly emergency report and unanimous or near‑unanimous support for the city–county coordination amendment.
