The Los Angeles City Council on an unspecified date voted to accept two reports tied to the city's emergency declaration and approved an amendment to guide coordination with county resources.
Councilmember Rodríguez, who said she would continue voting against the emergency declaration in its current form, registered the sole "no" vote on the first of the two reports. The council then approved an amendment introduced by Rodríguez to formalize collaboration between city and county operations; that amendment passed unanimously.
The amendment Rodríguez introduced asked the city's chief executive office and relevant departments to provide recommendations on how to coordinate shared resources with the county to support daily operations addressing encampments and related services. As Rodríguez said on the record, "Esta enmienda es acerca de trabajar una colaboración de 2 manos a medida que establecemos estos nuevos esfuerzos y operaciones para resolución de campamentos."
Rodríguez told colleagues she had concerns that some elements reported as outcomes of the emergency declaration were operations that preexisted the declaration and therefore should not be presented as achievements solely produced by the emergency order. She said the council must "delinear muy claramente lo que está siendo logrado y entregado como resultado de la orden de emergencia, y no debería confundir el resultado del trabajo que preexistía ni que va a continuar."
After debate, the council closed the roll on agenda item 0.4 and recorded the vote as 13 in favor and 1 opposed. The council then considered agenda item 0.5 as amended; the roll showed 14 in favor for the amended motion.
The votes do not, in the transcript, list a full roll-call of individual yes votes beyond Rodríguez's stated opposition. The transcript shows the tallies and Rodríguez's published statements explaining her position, and it contains the text of Rodríguez's amendment describing the intent to close coordination gaps with the county.
The council president and other members moved the items forward after debate. The record in the transcript does not show additional formal requirements (such as implementation dates) attached to the two accepted reports; staff follow-up and reporting were described in broad terms within Rodríguez's amendment request.
What the council approved
- Agenda item 0.4: Acceptance of report(s) related to operations under the emergency declaration. Vote: 13 yes, 1 no (Rodríguez). Outcome: approved.
- Agenda item 0.5 (as amended): Amendment introduced by Councilmember Rodríguez to request CEO and departments to recommend coordinated use of county and city resources for encampment resolution and related services. Vote: 14 yes, 0 no. Outcome: approved.
Councilmember Rodríguez framed the amendment as an effort to "cerrar esa brecha, para crear un marco de trabajo de colaboración con el condado" so the city and county avoid duplicative efforts and deliver services more efficiently.
The transcript records the debate and the final tallies but does not list an implementation timeline or a departmental action plan in the portions read aloud. Council staff and the CEO were asked to return with recommendations, per the language of the amendment.
