In response to the recent wildfire damages in Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles plans to hire an outside consultant to oversee the rebuilding of over 5,500 destroyed homes. Mayor Karen Bass and recovery czar Steve Soboroff aim to ensure efficient management of the recovery process, including damage assessments and interactions with federal agencies. The city seeks bids from major firms and will announce a selection soon. Additionally, a mobile app will provide real-time updates to homeowners on cleanup and permitting, demonstrating a commitment to community involvement and transparency during recovery efforts.
It's not clear why the nation's second largest city can't manage the job itself.
Soboroff agreed to work as chief recovery officer inside and outside the city bureaucracy to speed recovery.
Bass promised to announce numerous initiatives to rebuild the Palisades from the ashes.
The city is expected to unveil a mobile app to allow homeowners to get real-time updates on the environmental cleanup and permitting at their properties.
