EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The agreement with City Net originally had a 'not to exceed amount' of $226,800. The services rendered since January at the beginning of the agreement did not reach that amount leaving available funding, so staff is requesting to extend the term of the agreement to October 30, 2024.
BACKGROUND
City Net is a non-profit organization that has assisted several cities in the counties of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and Santa Barbara. City Net's organization and mission are effective in helping individuals who have been chronically homeless for a number of years.
On November 7, 2023, the City Council approved a new agreement with City Net for housing navigation services for six months with a focus on Homeless Court and people experiencing homelessness in their vehicles. On May 21, 2024, the Mayor and City Council approved the First Amendment to the agreement to include a census of Redondo's homeless population.
The City Attorney's Office is currently coordinating a census with City Net and Hermosa to be executed in September of this year. Moreover, City Net's services since the beginning of the agreement has not exhausted the 'not to exceed amount,' leaving funding available for continued services. Staff is asking that the Mayor and City Council approve the second amendment to extend the agreement term for continued services to October 30, 2024.
COORDINATION
The City Attorney's Office coordinated with City Net in connection with the preparation of this report.
FISCAL IMPACT
The 'not to exceed' amount in the original agreement was $226,800. In the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Budget, $170,000 of general funding was allocated to City Net. The balance of the amount will be covered by grant funding.
