Rodriguez described the incident as \"a very volatile situation\" that required coordinated action among LAFD special operations, LAPD Bomb Squad, Urban Search and Rescue, hazmat teams, Building and Safety, sanitation, DWP, DOT and the gas company. \"They resolved this volatile situation without further incident and without impact to the community,\" Rodriguez said.

Deputy Chief Jamie Moore of the Los Angeles Fire Department and Chief Kowalski both described the operation as methodical and collaborative. Moore said firefighters saved an injured man and rescued three of four dogs; when crews secured the collapsed structure, the fourth dog also was rescued. Because large quantities of pyrotechnic materials were found on the property, the teams undertook a controlled burn after preparing the area and applying protective measures to nearby homes.

Crews evacuated approximately 60 homes in the immediate area, Rodriguez said, and the Department of Recreation and Parks opened an interim shelter. The Red Cross and local nonprofit partners provided food and supplies; ICON CDC and the California Community Foundation provided gift cards to residents affected by the overnight evacuation.

Moore and Kowalski said federal partners were consulted and the operation took roughly three days from the initial response to safe mitigation of the explosives. The chiefs said their approach minimized additional risk to nearby structures and residents.

Rodriguez and council staff named and thanked numerous officers and firefighters by name for their roles, including Captain Marco Lozano of LAPD's Foothill Division. The council convened the recognition to highlight interagency cooperation and to thank first responders for preventing further harm during a hazardous and complex incident.

Mark Adams, director of government affairs for Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA), told the council the ordinances are intended to allow staff to proceed with condemnation only after voluntary acquisition efforts failed. \"These ordinances do not address in any way disagreements over the amount of compensation to be paid for the taking of the property interests,\" Adams said, noting LAWA had provided written offers and appraisal summaries to owners and would continue negotiations.

Representatives of affected property owners and institutions urged further negotiation. Dr. Lee Sada, chief facilities executive for the Los Angeles Community College District (LACCD), said the proposed partial taking of district property at 9700 South Sepulveda Boulevard would \"impact over half of the property, leaving our district with the equivalent of a hole in the middle of a donut.\" The district said the partial taking has prevented lease renewals and disrupted operations and asked the city to pursue a full acquisition as a more practicable alternative.

Attorney Adam Sigler, representing other owners of 9600 Sepulveda, objected on procedural grounds, saying LAWA had not meaningfully considered alternatives to the taking and urging the council to defer the resolution. He said negotiations were ongoing and that written objections submitted May 29 should be part of the record.

Deputy City Attorney Cynthia Alexander and LAWA staff answered members' questions about project necessity, and council members asked whether LAWA would continue negotiating market-value settlements. In response, LAWA said negotiations were ongoing and that the resolutions are an insurance policy to ensure timely construction should negotiations fail.

After the hearing, the council recorded the vote for the ordinances approving the resolutions of necessity as 14 ayes. The clerk placed LAWA's presentation, the property owners' letters (dated May 29 and June 2) and other supporting materials in the official record.

Because adoption of such ordinances does not set just compensation, LAWA and affected owners will continue negotiations; any compensation disputes would be subject to separate legal processes. LAWA said the acquisitions are sought to support roadway improvements and other elements of ATMP designed to reduce congestion at LAX.

Rodriguez said the emergency declaration has not improved the city's ability to construct housing and that structural barriers remain. \"Declaring it an emergency hasn't resolved in any expedited fashion what is at the root of some of the challenges that we face as a city,\" she said, adding that the city's housing shortfall \"has grown by 5%.\" She urged a comprehensive departmental analysis of the emergency order's actual impact.

The comments were delivered during the council's consideration of the quarterly report about homelessness operations under the emergency order. Rodriguez argued that some programs the council has supported, such as CARE and vehicle-dwelling operations, were organized independently of the emergency order and that presenting their results as outcomes of ED1 overstates the declaration's effect.

\"We have not created an environment that incents greater investment in housing development in the city of Los Angeles,\" Rodriguez said. She noted that ED1 allows expedited permits for temporary shelters and affordable housing but that rising construction and land costs, limited subsidy access and long project timelines continue to impede production. Rodriguez thanked Councilmembers McCosker and Grama for introducing a motion calling for a comprehensive analysis of city departments to determine what the emergency order actually delivers.

After discussion, the roll call on the quarterly report registered five ayes and one no. The clerk announced the vote as recorded.

Rodriguez said she will \"continue to vote no on today's quarterly report\" until the requested analysis is completed and informs whether the emergency order should remain in effect. She asked the Homelessness and Housing Committee to schedule a deep review of the order's impacts.

The record shows the council heard the report, received public comment earlier in the meeting, and recorded the roll call tally; no immediate policy change to ED1 was made on the floor that day.

Council President Marquis Herastas presided during the item and called the roll. The clerk and city departments were asked to provide the full analysis promised in pending motions.

Looking ahead, Rodriguez said she expects follow-up committee hearings to probe the emergency order's effects and to consider alternatives to simply renewing or \"rubber stamping\" the declaration.
