Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is leading recovery efforts after the Palisades fire, appointing Steve Soboroff as her recovery czar, initially expected to oversee a comprehensive rebuilding strategy. However, his role has since been narrowed, focusing mainly on the historic Palisades Village. Meanwhile, Bass has engaged Hagerty Consulting for project management in recovery efforts, with Jim Featherstone managing the work. Criticism of Bass's early response to the fire looms as the city grapples with the complex coordination of consulting firms, nonprofits, and City Council efforts in the recovery process.
"He is focused on the rebuilding of Palisades Village, the historic Palisades Village. But we consider Steve to be the overall ambassador to the Palisades."
"Bass, who has faced stinging criticism over her performance during the early days of the fire, also announced Friday that she had selected Hagerty Consulting to provide 'full project management' of the recovery."
