Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has named Steve Soboroff 'chief recovery officer' as the city looks toward rebuilding following the Palisades Fire.

Mayor Karen Bass said no one is better equipped to create a rebuilding plan. "He knows our communities. He knows how to activate City Hall. He's been in City Hall."

L.A. Mayor Karen Bass Friday appointed longtime L.A. businessman and civic leader Steve Soboroff to head rebuilding efforts in the Pacific Palisades following the raging wildfire that devastated the area.
