North Redondo Beach Farmers Market Initiative
The six-month pilot market on Green Lane has been a hit — library visits are up and a developer-grade gathering spot is forming. The council extended it year-round and will pursue $35,000 removable bollards so volunteers stop hauling heavy barricades weekly.

Homeless shelter funding amendment
The council renewed funding for the Pallet shelter through March 2027, and the city was certified 'functional zero' for homelessness for the third straight year, with an average 17-day street stay.
Homelessness Services and Bridge Housing
