FIRST AMENDMENT TO MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
This First Amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is made as of July 1, 2026 by and between the South Bay Cities Council of Governments, a California joint powers authority (“SBCCOG”) and the City of Redondo Beach (“City”), a chartered municipal corporation, (collectively, the “Parties”).
RECITALS
A. The Parties entered into the MOU as of August 13, 2025, under which SBCCOG engaged the City to implement two programs to reduce street homelessness and stabilize housing insecurity within the City: the Beach Cities Homeless Court behavioral health services program (“EXHIBIT 3: BEACH CITIES HOMELESS COURT” or “EXHIBIT 3”) and the Redondo Beach SRO/Motel Beds interim housing program (“EXHIBIT 4: REDONDO BEACH SRO/MOTEL BEDS” or “EXHIBIT 4”).
B. The MOU included a program-specific exhibit for each program, detailing the budget, scope of work, invoicing and reporting requirements, and additional data needs:
Specifically, EXHIBIT 3: BEACH CITIES HOMELESS COURT and EXHIBIT 4: REDONDO BEACH SRO/MOTEL BEDS.
C. The Parties now desire to remove EXHIBIT 3: BEACH CITIES HOMELESS COURT, effective July 1, 2026, thereby terminating SBCCOG’s funding obligation with respect to that program, and to increase the funding allocated to EXHIBIT 4: REDONDO BEACH SRO/MOTEL BEDS.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the Parties agree to amend the MOU as follows:
1) EXHIBIT 3: BEACH CITIES HOMELESS COURT: Effective July 1, 2026, EXHIBIT 3: BEACH CITIES HOMELESS COURT is deleted in its entirety.
2) EXHIBIT 4: REDONDO BEACH SRO/MOTEL BEDS: Effective July 1, 2026, the total annual program budget set forth in EXHIBIT 4: REDONDO BEACH SRO/MOTEL BEDS shall be increased from $240,000 to $260,000, as set forth in the amended budget table attached hereto as EXHIBIT 4-1 and incorporated herein by this reference, which replaces the budget table in Section I (Budget) of EXHIBIT 4. All other provisions of EXHIBIT 4 remain unchanged.
Except as modified above, all other provisions of the MOU remain in full force and effect.
