And we want to do it right Morris continued, but said the city had to do so in a safe manner. At close to 2 p.m. personnel in bright yellow vests and hard hats gathered in front of the building, and some were entering on the ground floor. The additional search for sur- vivors was spurred by the rescue of a woman from a fourth-floor window Monday night about 12 hours after city officials declared no one remained inside. Lisa Brooks was rescued more than 24 hours after the building collapse.

Davenport Mayor Mike Mat- son said Tuesday that he know how Brooks was missed in the initial search. But he called the rescue a happy event and said the city wants to know how pos- sible search teams, canines, and technical tools missed her. At noon Monday, hours before Brooks was found, the city issued a news release that officials had transitioned from a rescue op- eration to a recovery operation. Officials said the building was ordered for demolition and that property is currently being secured by a contractor on site this afternoon and demolition is expected to commence in the Tuesday city clarified Tuesday, writing that demolition permitting and staging of equip- and that the timing of the physical demolition was still be- ing evaluated. At the time of the announcement, hundreds of pro- testers were in the street outside City Hall, demanding another search for survivors, remains or pets.

Matson denied that city plans for physical demolition had changed when asked by several journalists, repeating that (demolished) and that continuous evaluation of what to do or not to do happened in real But Morris, the fire marshal, when asked if demolition plans had changed once it was clear someone was in the building, said there were no indications of life until Brooks was found. new infor- mation that comes up. We had no indications from any of the responders that we had any of our tools, any of the canines at that Morris said. at some point, we had to move forward. As this is fluid and flex- ible, we started moving to change once we had a new indication that there was somebody in the build- ing.

Hence the reason why talking with technical rescue teams and a structural engineer to figure out the safest way to do another Police Chief Jeff Bladel said there is a that two people are inside the building. One of those people is Ryan Hitchcock. His cousin, Amy An- derson, wrote her number in dust on the windshield of a parked car, asking for help finding Ryan. Anderson, who said she believes Hitchcock is likely under the rub- ble, spoke at the press conference, urging the public to let the city handle the situation. any delays is one more day that under Anderson said.

We do not want a full-on demolition or a full-on delay for that building to even collapse she said. She later added that she is not behind the city but that her main concern is that Hitchcock is respected. is an absolute no-win sit- uation, but it is the best plan of she added. While there are two people offi- cials believe are likely in the build- ing, there are another three that are unaccounted for.

Bladel said city officials are cross-checking lists of tenants that may be out- dated, and the city is working to contact them and determine if those three people could be in the building. Officials emphasized that the building remains structurally un- sound and is in imminent danger of collapsing. The city-hired structural en- gineer advising on the building, Larry Sandhaas with Shive Hat- tery, said at the press conference they planned to create a digital 3D of the building using a scanning drone. The 3D model would the condition of it, assess the pros- pect of future collapse, and help ultimately the city to figure out the what, the where, and the As for pets in the building, Mat- son said, the city is working with the Humane Society, and said if first responders go into parts of the building, responders will be going back in to see if we can save By 1:30 p.m., at least two cats had been removed from evacuated apartments. So far, nine individuals have been rescued from the building, including one who was partially buried in rubble.

The city has said building offi- cials are staging equipment and pulling permits in preparation for demolition, but when the build- ing could physically come down is in flux. Barricades are placed around the building, though onlookers can get as close as 100 feet in places. Protesters gathered in front of the building as and after crews rescued Brooks, imploring city officials to continue checking for missing people. In addition to Hitchcock, fam- ily members of tenant Brandon Colvin said he make it out. City officials said two inspec- tions were done earlier this year on the six-story building one in January and one last week.

Select Structural Engineering, a company hired by the building owner, determined it was sound enough to be worked on, said City Neighborhood Services Director Rich Oswald at the press confer- ence. Asked whether the city was satisfied with those engineering reports, Oswald said: chief building official was satisfied with what the engineer requested the repairs and how the repairs were to be Matson said documentation, including photos, videos, and logs from the incident would be turned over to an investigative team. leader of that team has yet to be determined, but we are in consult with state officials on the proper course of Mat- son said.

Lawmakers opposed to the hy- brid bill had warned that it would face a lawsuit if passed. The lawsuit argues that the Legislature wrongly logrolled two distinct, unrelated subjects into one combined bill. single-subject rule pre- vents logrolling, namely, the pas- sage of legislation that, if standing alone, could not muster the nec- essary votes for the lawsuit reads. single-subject rule also promotes transparency in the legislative process and ac- countability by lawmakers. a bill contains more than one subject, it is impossible to know whether the vote signaled support for or op- position to the entire bill, or just some of Omaha Sen.
