PUBLIC COMMENTS ON AGENDA ITEMS AND NON-AGENDA MATTERS
Benjamin Holifield suggested that the City Council provide updates regarding the closed session timeline and further urged the Council to make Compton clean, safe and friendly. Mr. Holifield requested an update regarding the homelessness around the civic center complex. He concluded by encouraging the City Controller and City Treasurer to provide the residents with financial reports.

Christopher Martinez requested that the City restore the Community Relations Committee, the Beautification Committee, and the Public Safety Commission so that the community may provide input relative to City operations and added that many residents have expressed a desire to serve without receiving a monthly stipend. Mr. Martinez also requested that the Council make the meeting more accessible to the public by allowing Zoom teleconference participation options, and also provide Spanish translations for the public events announcements and provide closed captioning for the live video feed for the Council meetings.

Leticia Vasquez Wilson announced that she is a candidate for the Compton Community College Board District 5 and indicated that she was born and educated in Compton and has worked in the City for many years. Ms. Wilson indicated that she would like to continue to serve the entire community and improve the opportunities for students at Compton Community College.

Dr. Kridical Truth Bey, Homeless Outreach and Engagement, addressed the issue of accountability and reported that 8000 emergency housing vouchers were given to LA County, and indicated that there are 2300 clients who have registered for these vouchers. Ms. Truth Bey alleged that the housing vouchers are being sold by case managers to the highest bidder. She further stated that the City must provide a functioning homeless shelter to provide critical social services for the unhoused. Dr. Truth Bey encouraged the City to dispense with the bureaucracy and provide crucial housing services.

Brook McDuffy commented that the residents near the area of 152nd street have been complaining about the street signs for years, however, the issue has been resolved and further thanked the City Manager and Councilman Bowers. Ms. McDuffy also addressed the issue of requiring the City’s businesses to clean up and properly maintain their location sites, noting that the parking lanes at CVS are faded and must be repainted. She also referenced other City businesses that must be required to clean up their locations and further urged the City to ensure that the areas are properly maintained after the community provides for a cleanup and also suggested that additional trash cans be provided.

Barbara Calhoun, discussed the issues concerning Compton Avenue and the Parking Enforcement. Ms. Calhoun indicated that there are abandoned vehicles near the area that have been at the same spot for over 3 months, however, nothing has been done to remove the vehicles.

She also commented that there are also many motor homes in the area that are not abiding by the Code, which must also be addressed by adequate parking enforcement. Ms. Calhoun concluded by suggesting that the City Council place their closed session meeting at the end of the Council meetings, and further suggested that Code Enforcement, Parking Enforcement and Security services be placed under the direction of the City Attorney’s Office.

Daniel Salazar, President Compton Fire Fighter Local 2216, commented that the City does not have the sustainable infrastructure to address the proposed housing developments and also indicated that the Fire Department Stations must be upgraded to properly serve the residents and developments. Mr. Salazar then questioned if the City had performed a GIS survey to determine where a new Fire Station should be constructed and noted that there is only one station providing services to the east side of Compton. Mr. Salazar concluded by discussing the emergency transport services and the City’s hiring practices and training for Fire Department personnel.

Arleta Miller, Saving Our Children Community (SOCC), commented that her organization provides critical services to the children of the Compton community and requested assistance from the City Council and the community to continue with her non-profit organization. Ms. Miller then indicated that she would like to provide a free Barber College for the youth.

Albaviola Garcia spoke with the aid of a Spanish Translator and informed the Council that her mother passed away 14 days ago in Mexico, and she left her truck parked on a commercial street in the City and she received a citation for $350. Ms. Garcia requested assistance from the City Council regarding resolving this issue.

Craig Henry indicated that the federal government refers to people as ‘customers’ and urged the City Council to follow that example and consider their constituents as ‘customers’ in the City which would provide for more respect for the residents. Mr. Henry suggested that the City Council respect the time of the residents and regularly update the audience members on the timeline status of the closed sessions as a matter of courtesy and better ‘customer service.’ Lynn Boone referenced agenda item Number 2—pages 21 to 23 and highlighted that it is stated that a public hearing to change the zoning was held on September 6, 2022, however, this is not true. She further indicated that page 2 of the ordinance refers to the word ‘resolution’ rather than the word ‘ordinance’ several times. Ms. Boone then addressed agenda item Number 3 and indicated that City Pride Magazine submitted paperwork which was not included with the item.

She further stated that the City Manager recommends that the contract be awarded to Elevate Public Affairs, based on the advice of the City Attorney.

Fidel Marquez concurred with Ms. Boone regarding agenda item Number 2 and further commented that no public hearing was held relative to this item. Mr. Marquez indicated that the community does not support the KBK development and added that construction has created a hazardous situation in the neighborhood. He then commented that KBK donated money to a member of the City Council which is illegal and must be investigated. Mr. Marquez concluded that he raised concerns about the intersection of Central and Piru and the surrounding area does not have adequate lighting and noted that someone lost their life at the location. Mr. Marquez stressed that it is critical that the lighting in the area is improved for the safety of the residents, and further urged the City Council to eradicate the illegal street takeovers and clean up the City.

Marie Brown, President of East Rancho Dominguez Homeowners Association, commented that a young lady she knows was injured during a street takeover and she has made it her mission to eradicate these types of activities. Ms. Brown stated that she has contacted other cities and presented photographs of devices that other cities are using to stop the street takeovers.

Naomi Reyes spoke in support of the Compton Fire Fighters and urged the City Council to take measures to improve the living and working conditions for the Fire Fighters and provide them with a contract, proper work environment and additional personnel.

PUBLIC COMMENTS ON AGENDA ITEMS AND NON-AGENDA MATTERS
Paulette Gipson, President of Compton NAACP, and proud Veteran commended and thanked the City Council and the Compton community for the Veteran’s Stand Down. Ms. Gipson commented that there is a lack of transparency and injustice to the community when the residents are ignored because of politics. She indicated that several residents have requested financial information and other documents from the City, however, they have not received any responses to their requests. The City Controller must be able to work effectively with administration to attain the staffing that she requires. Ms. Gipson recommended that the City Controller be placed on the City Council agenda to provide the answers to several questions and address the concerns of the community.

Jerry Williams stated that she resides in the 900 block of S. Northwood and indicated that she requested a handicapped sign and curb painting two months ago and paid $200, however, she has not received a sign. Ms. Williams questioned the status of her request.

Antonio Chavez, Vice President of the Compton Firefighter’s Association, reiterated several serious issues and problems at the City’s fire stations. He further noted that there is a severe staffing shortage, which results in the Fire Fighters having to work beyond a normal shift for years, which causes hypertension, diabetes, cancer, strokes and mental health issues, and further indicated that PTSD is becoming more and more common. Mr. Chavez urged the City Council to address the very serious concerns of the Fire Department and improving the living and working conditions of the Firefighters.

Daniel Salazar, President of the Compton Firefighters Union, discussed the deplorable working conditions at the City’s fire stations and thanked Councilman Bowers for developing a plan to refurbish their infrastructure. Mr. Salazar highlighted that at Station Number 3 there are serious health issues with people getting injured as a result of the broken concrete. Mr. Salazar then spoke in support of Connecting Compton and further urged the City Council to fund the Explorer program for the youth of the community. He concluded that the new housing developments need a sustainable plan to support high rises in the City and further questioned who will sustain the fire apparatus in the long term.

Albert De La Mora addressed the issue of the high number of abandoned vehicles around the City, especially on North Acacia near the library and on Elm Street near the Junior High school.

He noted that Parking Enforcement has not addressed the issue and urged the City Council to address the abandoned vehicles as they make the City look bad. Mr. De La Mora further suggested that the various community committees be reinstated to help improve and beautify the City.

Ms. Kridical Truth Bey raised concerns that the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) and other housing agencies failed to spend the designated $150 Million grant that was earmarked to assist the unhoused which was ultimately returned to the funding source. Ms. Truth Bey further commented that the Los Angeles Homeless Service had to be disbanded and indicated that she has presented a plan to build a resource center in the City of Compton and further urged the City Council to review and seriously consider the information she submitted to the City.

Iberia Nelson commented that she and her neighbors utilize the walking path and exercise trail at Greenleaf and Wilmington and further informed the City Council that a few days ago equestrian riders decided to have an event at the location without informing the local residents. Ms. Nelson stated that the riders left large hoof tracks and horse droppings along the path which is very dangerous for the Seniors walking in the area. Ms. Nelson urged the City Council to clean up the location and make the walking area smooth again.

Marjorie Shipp also addressed the walking trail along Greenleaf Boulevard where the equestrian riders left beer cans, bottles and horse hoof imprints in the dirt, and added that this is the second time this year that the horsemen have taken over the park. Ms. Shipp requested that the City Council stop this activity as it is very unhealthy for the neighborhood residents, and further requested that the area be thoroughly cleaned as soon as possible. Ms. Shipp commended the recent community clean up and requested that more organizations become involved with improving the Compton community.

Mark Smith commented that he resides on Alondra and echoed the previous speakers’ comments relative to the biohazard horse droppings left by the parade of horses and the celebration along the area. Mr. Smith further stated that this is the second time that an illegal event such as this has taken place and urged the City Council to investigate the matter. Mr. Smith urged the City to thoroughly clean up the area and the rest of the City of Compton.

Lynn Boone referenced the purpose of a resolution and an ordinance and further alleged that the District One Councilmember appointment is illegal because it was not done by resolution. Ms.

Boone further stated that the City Attorney and City Council are in violation of the Compton City Charter as it relates to the vote to make the appointment. Ms. Boone further indicated that she will file a lawsuit against the Councilmember in District One and further urged the residents to vote to elect councilmembers and a city attorney who knows and follows the guidelines of the City Charter.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: AN URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

COMPTON TO ESTABLISH THE DEPARTMENT OF RECREATION

SUMMARY
Adoption of the attached ordinance will create the Department of Recreation.

BACKGROUND
On June 23, 2020, the City Council adopted the Fiscal Year 2020-2021 Budget. The adopted budget established a major fiscal reorganization of the City’s departmental and divisional structure by fiscally reducing the number of City departments from 23 to 18, including the elimination of the Parks and Recreation Department and reallocating the Park Maintenance Division (Parks) under the newly created Department of Public Works – Street Maintenance.

Moreover, June 30, 2022, the City Council adopted the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Budget, which continued with the Park Maintenance Division under the City Department of Public Works – Street Maintenance. However, the Recreation Department, which includes, youth, teen, and senior programming, as well as transportation, parks and facility rentals, and special events coordination was established.

The adopted budget established the Recreation Department as a separate and distinct department and increases the City departments from 18 to 21 and kept the Park Maintenance under the Public Works – Street Maintenance.

STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The California Constitution grants charter cities the power to make and enforce all ordinances and regulations with respect to municipal affairs. Section 704 of the Compton City Charter authorizes the City Council to “…provide by ordinance the creation and abolishment of other appointive officers or department.” In line with the fiscal provisions the City Council adopted in the 2022-2023 Fiscal Year budget, the subject ordinance seeks to improve the management and fiscal operations of the City’s departmental structure and organization by restoring and establishing the Department of Recreation. The new City department will be responsible for recreational programming for the City’s youth, teens and senior citizens; including transportation, facility rentals and other related duties.

4.4. Staff Report – Ordinance to Establish Recreation Department November 8, 2022, page 2
As indicated above, the 2022-2023 Fiscal Year Budget, effective July 1, 2022, “fiscally created” a number of City departments, including the Department of Recreation, in anticipation of “formal creation” shortly thereafter in compliance with the City’s Constitution (i.e. City Charter). It is imperative that there be compliance with Section 704 of the City Charter, thus staff recommends that this proposed ordinance be adopted on an urgency basis which will allow the City to be in immediate compliance with the Charter.

ALTERNATIVE
None suggested. Even though the City Council’s adopted budget resolution for Fiscal Year 2022-2023 approved the fiscal restoring or reestablishing of the City’s departments and divisions structure, action by the City Council, via an adopted ordinance pursuant to Section 704 of the City Charter, is required to formally abolish and/or restore a City department.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact. This ordinance is an administrative function pursuant to Section 704 of the City Charter.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached Ordinance.
