APPROVE AMENDMENT NUMBER TWO TO THE LETTER OF AGREEMENT FOR FUNDING AND OPERATION OF THE REDONDO BEACH EMERGENCY HOMELESS SHELTER (PALLET SHELTERS)--
end
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Letter of Agreement (LOA) with the Los Angeles County for the funding of the pallet shelters is set to expire on July 31, 2022. This second amendment to the LOA would extend the term an additional two months to September 30, 2022 at the same level of funding while we explore whether grant funding is available to continue the operations of the Pallet Shelters.
BACKGROUND
On December 31, 2020, the City Council approved a LOA with Los Angeles County for the shared operational and human services costs of the Pallet Shelters providing transitional housing for people experiencing homelessness in Redondo Beach. On June 8, 2021, the City Council approved the first amendment to the LOA to extend the term and reduce the costs of the City’s monthly contribution through July 31, 2022. Recommended is a second amendment to the LOA to extend the term by roughly two months to September 30, 2022 at the same reduced costs while we explore whether grant funding is available to continue the operations of the Pallet Shelters.
COORDINATION
The City Attorney's Office coordinated with the City Manager’s Office for the preparation of this report.
FISCAL IMPACT
The second amendment to the LOA would maintain the existing level of City funding for an additional two months.
