ADOPT BY 4/5 VOTE AND BY TITLE ONLY RESOLUTION NO. CC-2408-069, A RESOLUTION OF
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDONDO BEACH, CALIFORNIA, AUTHORIZING A FISCAL YEAR 2024-2025 BUDGET MODIFICATION TO APPROPRIATE $800,000 OF LOS
ANGELES COUNTY DISTRICT TWO HOMELESSNESS GRANT FUNDS TO THE
INTERGOVERNMENTAL GRANTS FUND FOR THE EXPANSION OF THE REDONDO BEACH PALLET SHELTER.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Los Angeles County Supervisor Holly Mitchell has granted the City of Redondo Beach $800,000 of Second District homeless services funds for the expansion of the Redondo Beach Pallet Shelter.
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the agreement to accept the grant funding as well as the resolution to appropriate the grant into the budget.
BACKGROUND
During the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Budget Adoption Process, the City Council approved the expansion of the Pallet Shelter estimated to cost $1,568,750 on the condition of identifying grant funding. On December 19, 2023, the City Council approved the purchase of twenty-five (25) additional pallet shelter units because the City received a letter of support from Los Angeles County Supervisor Holly J. Mitchell for $800,000 of District Two Homelessness funding as well as a letter of support from Health Net awarding the City the remaining $768,750 for the expansion of the Redondo Beach Pallet Shelter.
The letters of support were necessary for the City to be able to purchase the pallet shelter units before they doubled in price. The Health Net award will reimburse the City for this expenditure. The additional twenty-five (25) units have been delivered by Pallet and are being stored on the empty lot North of the current Pallet Shelter where they will be assembled and placed after the completion of

capital improvements of the lot.
On April 9, 2024, the Mayor and City Council approved the agreement with Health Net to accept $768,750 for the pallet shelter expansion.
This agreement with the County is the formal acceptance of the $800,000 from Supervisor Mitchell’s Second District homeless services funds based on the letter of support the County provided last December. Staff recommends the City Council approve the Agreement with the County to receive the grant funding and adopt the resolution to appropriate the grant into the budget.
