Mayor Bass taps AECOM to assist with Palisades rebuilding
Nearly five months after a firestorm laid waste to a wide swath of Pacific Palisades, Mayor Karen Bass announced Friday that the global infrastructure firm AECOM will help develop a master plan for rebuilding the area, as well as a plan for reconstructing utilities and other infrastructure. The firm will work alongside both the city and Hagerty Consulting, which Bass tapped as a recovery contractor in early February, according to the mayor's office. Hagerty, an Illinois-based disaster recovery firm, has a yearlong contract with the city for up to $10 million but has faced persistent questions about the specifics of its work. Read more: As L.A. rebuilds from the Palisades fire, residents ask: What's the plan? The mayor's office did not immediately answer when asked Friday whether Hagerty's role was being scaled back. In late January, the mayor, along with four council members and other city officials, heard presentations from Hagerty, AECOM and a third firm also seeking to be the city's disaster recovery contractor. After Bass selected Hagerty in February, she said the city was still in discussions with AECOM about a separate contract. 'An unprecedented natural disaster requires an unprecedented, all-hands-on-deck response — all levels of government, philanthropy, the private sector and educational institutions coming together to support the community and rebuild as quickly and safely as possible,' Bass said in a written statement Friday. 'AECOM's expertise in long-term infrastructure planning and design will only further expedite our work to get families home.' The mayor's office also did not immediately respond when asked whether the city now has a contract with AECOM, or what the specifics of that contract, including the compensation, are. Steve Soboroff, a longtime local developer and Bass' former chief recovery officer, publicly criticized Bass' decision to choose Hagerty over AECOM as the city's initial disaster recovery contractor. In an interview in mid-April as he was leaving his post, Soboroff raised questions about Hagerty's role and said he thought AECOM should have been hired instead. Along with developing a comprehensive rebuilding master plan and supporting the Palisades' infrastructure reconstruction, AECOM will help coordinate broader public and private rebuilding efforts. The company will work on a "logistics plan for materials management in coordination with local builders and suppliers" as well as a master traffic plan as more homeowners leap into the rebuilding process, according to a news release. AECOM is also the "official venue infrastructure partner" for the 2028 Olympic Games, according to a March news release from LA28.

US Supreme Court keeps DOGE records blocked in watchdog group's challenge
By Andrew Chung (Reuters) -The U.S. Supreme Court extended on Friday its block on judicial orders requiring the Department of Government Efficiency to turn over records to a government watchdog group that sought details on the entity established by President Donald Trump and previously spearheaded by his billionaire former adviser Elon Musk. The court put on hold Washington-based U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper's orders for DOGE to respond to requests by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington for information about its operations. The judge concluded that DOGE likely is a government agency covered by the federal Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The brief, unsigned order said that portions of one of the judge's decisions "are not appropriately tailored" and that "separation of powers concerns counsel judicial deference and restraint in the context of discovery regarding internal Executive Branch communications." The court sent the case back to a lower appeals court to narrow the judge's directives. The court's three liberal justices - Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson - dissented from Friday's decision. In a separate case, the Supreme Court on Friday permitted DOGE broad access to personal information on millions of Americans in Social Security Administration data systems while a legal challenge plays out. DOGE has played a central role in Trump's efforts to downsize and reshape the U.S. government including by slashing the federal workforce and dismantling certain agencies. The watchdog group, called CREW, said its intention was to shed light on what it called DOGE's secretive structure and operations. Musk formally ended his government work on May 30 and his once-close relationship with Trump has since unraveled publicly, a split that followed Musk's recent attacks on the president's sweeping tax and spending bill and played out dramatically on social media on Thursday. CREW sued to obtain an array of records from DOGE through the FOIA statute, a law that allows the public to seek access to records produced by government agencies. It sought information on DOGE's activities over its role in the mass firings and cuts to federal programs pursued since the Republican president returned to office in January. "While we're obviously disappointed that the Supreme Court chose to revise aspects of our discovery requests, we're pleased that the court allowed discovery to proceed," said CREW spokesperson Jordan Libowitz after Friday's decision. Prior to Friday's order, Chief Justice John Roberts had imposed a temporary pause on Cooper's orders to give the court more time to consider the dispute. The Trump administration contends that DOGE is an advisory entity and not subject to FOIA. In response, CREW sought information to determine whether DOGE is subject to FOIA because it wields the kind of authority of an agency independent of the president. Cooper ruled in April that DOGE must turn over some records sought by CREW and that the group was entitled to question DOGE official Amy Gleason at a deposition. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit declined on May 14 to put Cooper's order on hold. The administration urged the Supreme Court to act, saying that the judge's orders intruded on the powers of the executive branch and compromised the ability of a wide array of advisers to provide candid and confidential advice to the president. CREW told the justices that siding with the administration in the dispute would give the president "free reign" to create new entities that would "functionally wield substantial independent authority but are exempt from critical transparency laws." In one of his decisions, Cooper said DOGE's operations have been marked by "unusual secrecy." In another, the judge said that the language of Trump's executive orders concerning DOGE suggests that it is "exercising substantial independent authority."

Conagra to sell seafood brands Van de Kamp's and Mrs. Paul's for $55M
This story was originally published on Food Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Food Dive newsletter. Conagra Brands reached a deal to sell its Van de Kamp's and Mrs. Paul's brands to seafood producer High Liner Foods for $55 million. The transaction allows Conagra to "further focus our efforts on strengthening our core frozen offerings," Sean Connolly, Conagra's president and CEO, said in a statement. The two frozen seafood brands contributed approximately $75 million to Conagra's fiscal year 2024 net sales. The sale marks the latest divestiture for the Chicago-based food manufacturer as it aims to streamline its portfolio and lower its debt. Earlier this week, Conagra closed on the sale of Chef Boyardee to Hometown Food for $600 million. Conagra's portfolio is built around snacks and frozen foods, which includes Healthy Choice, Birds Eye and Marie Callender's. The sale of Van de Kamp's and Mrs. Paul's shows the company is aiming to distance itself from a seafood category that has little overlap with the rest of its frozen offerings. Van de Kamp's and Mrs. Paul's are minor contributors to Conagra's business, which posted $12.1 billion in net sales during its 2024 fiscal year. "This divestiture reflects our continued commitment to reshaping our portfolio and investing where we see the best opportunities for growth and innovation," Connolly said in a statement, adding that Van de Kamp's and Mrs. Paul's operated largely as a standalone business. Van de Kamp's and Mrs. Paul's are leading brands in the U.S. frozen breaded and battered seafood category, Conagra said. The transaction, which does not include employees or manufacturing facilities, is expected to close by the end of July. Proceeds will be used to reduce debt. High Liner is already familiar with the fish brands it will be adding to its portfolio. It currently co-manufactures products for Mrs. Paul's and Van de Kamp's brands at its U.S. manufacturing facilities. The Canadian company is a top North American processor and marketer of frozen seafood under brands such as High Liner, Fisher Boy, Mirabel, Sea Cuisine and Catch of the Day labels.
