Cheryl (Ms. 100) referenced a tree that has been in front of her home for many years, that was cut down, however, the City left a high tree stump, and neglected to place caution sign indicators around the area to alert the community of the dangers of the remaining stump. Ms. Cheryl also indicated that she has contacted the City Manager on multiple occasions without receiving a response. She concluded by urging that the City to eradicate the rodent infestation in her neighborhood.

Miller Martin also raised concerns regarding Code Enforcement Division wrongfully cited and towed away several vehicles belonging to his neighbors. Mr. Martin then indicated that Code Enforcement Division Manager Tony Ward came into his neighborhood with a weapon, which was completely unnecessary, and asserted that he and his neighbors are parking in an alley, which actually consists of residential driveways.

Sinetta Farley, East Rancho Dominguez Homeowner’s Association, raised concerns regarding 4 streets, an alley and an intersection which need to be repaired as soon as possible. She indicated that on November 15, 2022, the homeowner’s association sent an email to the City Manager and the Mayor detailing their concerns and requests, however, there has been no response to their email.

Captain Salazar concluded by urging the City Council to address the needs of the Fire Department.

Lynn Boone referenced agenda item Number 4 (resolution regarding contract services with Springbrook Holding Co.) and indicated that Compton has maintained a contract with this company for many years and noted and they have not been providing adequate service, so it is time for a change. Ms. Boone further stated that residents have had their services wrongfully terminated and many residents have been charged a $10 late fee even though their checks were submitted on time and cashed immediately, and then noted that the proposed agreement must be reviewed by professionals.

Vanessa addressed agenda item Number 7 (Hardy & Harper road repair agreement) and stated that Piru Street was not properly repaired and is currently torn up because the contractor simply placed gravel into the potholes.

CITY CLERK OF THE CITY OF COMPTON MAYOR OF THE CITY OF COMPTON March 28, 2023
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: CITY MANAGER

SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON AMENDING THE 2022-2023 FISCAL YEAR BUDGET

TO MAKE A TRANSFER OF FUNDS AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY

MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES

AGREEMENT WITH AND ESTABLISH A PURCHASE ORDER

FOR WILLDAN ENGINEERING FOR GRANT SUPPORT

SERVICES AND CLOSEOUT OF NEIGHBORHOOD
STABILIZATION PROGRAM 1 (NSP1) AND NEIGHBORHOOD
STABILIZATION 3 (NSP3) IN THE AMOUNT OF $76,000

SUMMARY
Adoption of this resolution will amend the 2022-2023 Fiscal Year budget to transfer funds and authorize the City Manager to enter into a professional service agreement with and establish a purchase order in the amount of Seventy Six Thousand Dollars ($76,000) to Willdan Engineering for grant support services and closeout of NSP1 and NSP 3.

BACKGROUND
The City’s objective is to select a professional consultant to assist the City of Compton with its audit review. In 2020, the Office of Inspector General (OIG) division of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) conducted an audit of City’s reported activities. During that time, the City was forced to layoff several employees due to loss of revenue as a direct result of the global pandemic. Due to staff turnover and staff shortage, the City was unable to address all of the audit findings. In order to successfully address the outstanding OIG findings and complete the closeout of NSP1 & NSP3, HUD recommended that the City hire an experienced consultant. The selected consultant will have a complete understanding of the status of the City of Compton as it relates to the corrective actions needed for OIG audit.

On September 7, 2022, the Grants Division advertised for grant support services and closeout of NSP1 & NSP3 program. An essential component of this RFP was to obtain the services of a qualified and experienced firm understanding the grant cycle from proposal stage to the grant/contract closeout process. The selected consultant must have experience administering all aspects of HUD-funded programs for municipalities. On September 29, 2022, the City received two (2) proposals that were reviewed and ranked by staff. The two (2) firms were

6. Staff Report – Authorizing Professional Service Agreement with Willdan Engineering to

 Reference – Submitters that have demonstrated a positive relationship with municipal agencies and/or housing division within a public agency  Pricing – Based upon the reasonable hourly rates of personnel identified to carry out services

SELECTION PROCESS
Pursuant to the Request for Proposals, it was requested that firms respond with their qualifications, scope of service, etc., in one package and their fee in a sealed, separate cover. The proposal review committee reviewed the material in the Request for Proposal (RFP) submitted by the consultants and ranked the most qualified proposals.

The selection of the most qualified firm for grant support services and closeout of NSP1 & NSP3 was on the basis of demonstrated competence and professional qualifications. Qualification Based Selection (“QBS”) is where selection is based on the most appropriate provider of professional services; fees are not an initial consideration nor a primary consideration for selection; however, staff will evaluate the price to ensure there is a comparability and consistency to the other proposals.

The evaluation process used by the selection committee for ranking the proposal was based upon the completeness of the proposal, consultant’s demonstrated understanding of the scope of services, quality of similar work previously performed by the firm, personnel assigned, resources required to perform the required services, and the proposed schedule of work. Fees are not considered until after the selection of the most qualified firms.

The review committee determined the proposal submitted by Willdan Engineering was deemed the most qualified firm to provide the needed grant support services and closeout of NSP1 & NSP3 services for this RFP for the following reasons:
 Willdan Engineering key members have over 20 years of extensive grant administrative services for public agencies

Consultant agrees to perform all the said services and to the extent not furnished by the City, furnish all the necessary materials at its own cost and expense necessary to complete said services in a manner consistent with that degree of care and skill ordinarily exercised by members of the same profession currently practicing under similar circumstances and to the reasonable satisfaction of the City.

Consultant services hereunder shall be performed in a good, workmanlike and professional manner.

Consultant shall be responsible for correcting and completing all errors and omissions related to the services provided by the Consultant for this Agreement at no additional cost to the City. “Errors” and “Omissions” for purposes of this paragraph are defined to mean a failure by the Consultant to meet the standards of its profession as set forth in the preceding paragraph. The acceptance of the services by City does not release Consultant from these obligations.

Consultant will be responsible for employing or engaging all persons necessary to perform the services. All of Consultant's staff will be qualified by training and experience to perform their assigned Professional Services Agreement – Willdan Engineering

Grants Division

tasks. Consultant will give its personal attention to the fulfillment of the provisions of this Agreement by all of its employees and sub-consultants, if any, and will keep the services under its control. On demand of the City, if any employee or sub-consultant of Consultant fails or refuses to carry out the provisions of this Agreement or appears to be incompetent or to act in a disorderly or improper manner, Consultant agrees that he or she will be discharged from performing services pursuant to provisions of this Agreement.

Salvador Lopez Jr., Director of Planning of Consultant, shall be primarily responsible for representing Consultant in performance of this Agreement.

2. Duration of Contract.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: CITY CONTROLLER
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON

TO AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT

WITH REVENUE & COST SPECIALISTS FOR THE PREPARATION OF

A CITYWIDE COST ALLOCATION PLAN AND USER FEE STUDY FOR
AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED FORTY-EIGHT THOUSAND THREEHUNDRED DOLLARS ($48,300.00), TO AUTHORIZE A BUDGET AMENDMENT TO THE FY2022-2023 CITY BUDGET, AND TO

AUTHORIZE A PURCHASE ORDER IN THE AMOUNT OF FORTY-EIGHT THOUSAND THREE-HUNDRED DOLLARS ($48,300.00).

SUMMARY
Staff is requesting that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with Revenue & Cost Specialists (RCS) for the preparation of a City-wide Cost Allocation Plan and User Fee Study and to authorize a purchase order in an amount not to exceed Forty-Eight Thousand Three Hundred Dollars ($48,300.00). Staff is also requesting that City Council approve a budget amendment in the amount of Forty-Eight Thousand Three Hundred Dollars ($48,300.00).

BACKGROUND
The State of California State Auditor’s Department issued an Audit report to the City in October of 2022. This report had findings and recommendations for various areas of improvement needed for the City. One of the recommendations included in this report was (on page 5 of the report) the following,
“By July 2023, city management should complete and the city council should approve an updated cost allocation plan. The council should also ensure that the fiscal year 2023-24 budget and subsequent budgets incorporate the results of this plan. For example, the budgets should include transfer amounts from the water fund to the general fund that accurately reflect the amounts the water fund owes for citywide services.”
“By July 2024, Compton should evaluate and the city council should approve updated charges for all city services in accordance with the substantive and procedural requirements of the state constitution. Compton should review its charges for services at least once every three years following this initial update.”

8. Staff Report – Resolution Amending 2022-23 FY Budget Authorizing Contract Execution and P.O. to Revenue & Cost Specialists LLC.

Prior to this, included in the FY2019-2020 Single Audit report of the City’s external auditor Eadie and Payne, LLC, an audit finding was repeated from prior years, which read:
2019-010 – Cash – Negative Balances (MW)
Criteria: Negative cash balances occur within a fund when there is mismatch of expenditures and revenue. Since the City pools its cash, other funds (usually the General Fund) will cover temporary negative cash balances through interfund payable/receivable accounts. Interfund payable/receivable accounts should be settled within the current period.

Condition: The City does not have consistent cash allocation and tracking procedures in place, which continues to result in negative cash balances rolling forward. The City’s general ledger reported negative cash balances at June 30, 2019 in excess of $21.9 million for various funds including special revenue funds, internal service funds, and debt service funds. These negative cash balances are not appropriate due to the nature of the funds. Interfund payable/receivable or transfers amounts were not recorded when necessary.

Cause: Lack of policy over interfund transaction and weakness in internal control over reconciliations. Due to the vacancies in key positions in the City Controller’s Office, staff fell behind on the monthly reconciliations and monitoring of cash balances across funds.

Effect or Potential Effect: Cash allocation could be materially misstated. Operating cash deficiencies for amounts not properly recorded, reimbursed or transferred could exist and not detected and corrected on a timely basis.

Repeat of a Prior-Year Finding: 2018-014
Recommendation: We recommend the City review cash balances on a regular basis and prepare a plan to eliminate these negative cash balances. Policies and procedures need to be put in place for the regular review of cash balances and the initiation of transfers for reimbursements as needed.

Additionally, another FY2019-2020 Single Audit finding from Eadie and Payne LLC read as follows:
2019-025 – Negative Fund Balances (MW)
Criteria: The City should operate to maintain adequate fund balances in all of its funds to mitigate current and future risks, such as revenue shortfalls and unanticipated expenditures.

Condition: There are negative fund balances for various funds including the general fund, grant funds, nonmajor governmental funds, and internal service funds.

Cause: Lack of policies and procedures over cash management and budgetary restrictions.

Weakness in internal control over operational spending and lack of consideration of long-term financial planning.

Staff Report – Resolution Amending 2022-23 FY Budget
Authorizing Contract Execution and P.O. to Revenue & Cost Specialists LLC.

Effect or Potential Effect: The deficits could have a significant effect on operations on a goforward basis. City programs and services involved with the fund may be curtailed.

Repeat of a Prior-Year Finding: 2018-037, 2014-049A
Recommendation: We recommend that management review the negative fund balances and the affected operations to make provisions to eliminate the deficit balances going forward.

These Single Audit findings further highlight the need for the City to adopt a City-wide cost allocation plan as well as a user fee study. These services, once implemented, will allow the City to acquire sufficient knowledge and information about the full cost of services, the proper methodology to ensure cash is properly allocated between funds, as well as having the tools to increase fees for services as needed to cover existing City costs to provide services.

A cost allocation plan is a plan that City Councilmembers and City staff can follow, so that the City’s full cost of providing services will be known since it allocates and spreads costs that indirectly support City programs and activities that were not previously recognized or accounted for when trying to determine the City’s full cost in providing various services.

A user fee study is a study which reviews the existing user fees and determines whether these fees can fully recover the true cost of providing City services, and proposes solutions in the event the existing fees are determined to not have the capacity to fully recover City costs. Additionally, both services are needed for increased fiscal sustainability of the City, and to provide information such that better decision making can take place for on-going City operations and for new endeavors. Upon Staff review there is currently not a sufficient cost allocation plan in place, nor has there been an updated User Fee study to determine the ability of existing fees (although partially adjusted for inflation) to cover City costs while knowing the full cost of providing City services from the cost allocation plan

STATEMENT OF ISSUE
In order to remain in compliance with the State of California Auditor’s October 2022 recommendations for the deliverable of a Cost Allocation plan and User Fee study, City staff has issued a request for proposal on December 28, 2022. The request for proposal (RFP) was published in the Compton Bulletin and on the California Society of Municipal Finance Officer (CSMFO)’s RFP website, which is a website frequently reviewed by vendors who provide financial services to municipalities and local governments within California. Additionally, the RFP was directly emailed to four separate potential candidates, taken from the CSMFO directory of commercial members.

The RFP yielded three responses. The candidates were Revenue & Cost Specialists (RCS), Matrix Consulting, and MGT Consulting. A total of four City staff interviewed the candidates and rated them. The candidate with the highest rating was Revenue & Cost Specialists (RCS), which was given based on the candidate’s cost proposal, time needed Staff Report – Resolution Amending 2022-23 FY Budget
Authorizing Contract Execution and P.O. to Revenue & Cost Specialists LLC.

to provide the deliverables, and firm qualifications. A listing of candidates, their rating and ranking and cost are listed below:

1. RCS ($48,300)

2. MGT ($57,950)

3. Matrix ($69,000)
After City staff checked their references, staff decided to recommend RCS as the frontrunner of the RFP process for these services.

FISCAL IMPACT
The cost for these services is not to exceed Forty-Eight Thousand Three Hundred Dollars ($48,300.00), per the proposal from RCS. A budget amendment to the FY2022-2023 City Budget is being requested for the following:

Increase in Revenue appropriations:

Account Code Account Name Amount
2810-000-000-3565 American Rescue Plan Fund $48,300.00
Other Federal Grant Revenue
Increase in Expenditure appropriations:

Account Code Account Name Amount
2810-650-000-4262 American Rescue Plan Fund $48,300.00
Other Professional Services
A purchase order for Forty-Eight Thousand Three Hundred Dollars ($48,300.00) is also being requested to be authorized to be issued out of the following account:

Account Code Account Name Amount
2810-650-000-4262 American Rescue Plan Fund $48,300.00
Other Professional Services
Once the Cost Allocation Plan and User Fee Study is completed and adopted by Council, it will determine the full costs to providing City services, whether or not existing fees cover these costs, and recommendations on how future fees can accomplish the goal of covering the City’s true cost of providing services. This will be done to ensure the City’s future fiscal health. Further it will communicate to stakeholders of the City that the City is committed to the improvement and success of the City’s fiscal health. These services will ultimately improve the City’s financial position, while simultaneously addressing related auditor findings and recommendations. It is also important to know that policies may need to change to keep up with current environment or any unforeseen circumstances.

Staff Report – Resolution Amending 2022-23 FY Budget
Authorizing Contract Execution and P.O. to Revenue & Cost Specialists LLC.

ALTERNATIVE
The City would continue to remain in a position without a cost allocation plan or user fee study for which staff could start implementing into day-to-day operations, and these audit findings would likely continue to be repeated until such a policy is adopted and implemented.

RECOMMENDATION
The City Controller recommends that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution.

FROM: FIRE CHIEF
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON AMENDING THE 2022-2023 FISCAL YEAR BUDGET TO TRANSFER

FUNDS AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ESTABLISH A
PURCHASE ORDER WITH 72 HOUR, LLC DBA NATIONAL AUTO
FLEET GROUP FOR THE PURCHASE OF ONE (1) NEW COMMAND
VEHICLE FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ($221,706.90)

SUMMARY
Adoption of the attached resolution will authorize the City Manager to establish a purchase order in an amount not to exceed Two Hundred Twenty-One Thousand Seven Hundred Six Dollars and Ninety Cents ($221,706.90) with 72 Hour, LLC dba National Auto Fleet Group for the purchase of One (1) Command Vehicle.

BACKGROUND
The City’s Command Vehicles are over eight (8) years old or older and due to the high volume of emergency responses, the costs of repair to an aging fleet are continuing to increase.

STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
On July 27, 2021, the City Council approved Resolution #25,531 allowing for the procurement of City-wide fleet vehicles. That resolution granted the Fire Department $76,832 for 1 (one) Paramedic Unit. However, a command vehicle is a greater need than a paramedic unit at this time due to the fact that we currently have two 2019 Paramedic Units and one additional 2023 Paramedic Unit will be delivered in March of this year.

An RFP (#091521) was published for one (1) Command Vehicle on July 28, 2021 and administered by Sourcewell through there Procurement Portal. Sourcewell is a State of Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative created a competitive public solicitation and contract award process for the benefit of its 50,000+ participating entities across the United States and Canada.

Evaluation began at the proposal opening by an evaluation committee and were awarded points through their points system. After reviewing the submitted proposal evaluations, staff recommends that the City purchase a new Command Vehicle from 72 Hour, LLC dba National Auto Fleet Group.

City Council approval is needed because the expenditure exceeds $25,000.00.

9. Staff Report- 72 Hour, LLC dba National Auto Fleet Group

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The cost for One (1) Command Vehicle is Two Hundred Twenty-One Thousand Seven Hundred Six Dollars and Ninety Cents ($221,706.90). The budget shall be amended to receive Funds from Equipment Rental-Automotive Equipment and Measure P Fund Balance and the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 budget will need to be amended as follows:

March 28, 2023
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON DECLARING MARCH, 2023 AMERICAN RED CROSS AWARENESS
MONTH

SUMMARY
This resolution is presented to the City Council for consideration and approval to proclaim the month of March 2023 as “American Red Cross Awareness Month” in the City of Compton.

BACKGROUND
National Red Cross Month was first proclaimed in 1943 by President Franklin D.

Roosevelt as a way to raise awareness of the organization and its humanitarian mission in the midst of the war. Since then, every president has designated March as American Red Cross Awareness Month.

STATEMENT OF ISSUE
In recent times, we have witnessed unprecedented disasters, beginning with COVID-19, wildfires that swept the Pacific Coast, and extreme winter storms that caused destructive flooding and prompted emergency evacuation. During trying times like these, people have stepped up to help others in need, whether it was responding to a disaster or rolling up their sleeves to give blood when our country faced a severe blood shortage. Here in the City of Compton, families have relied on the American Red Cross Disaster Response volunteers for comfort and hope while coping with disasters.

The American Red Cross, serving Compton, Greater Long Beach, South Bay, Metro, and Southeast Los Angeles, has supported local families in other ways as well, including supplying local hospitals with blood and convalescent plasma as a treatment to fight the COVID-19 virus.

The local branch of the American Red Cross, serving Greater Long Beach, South Bay, Metro, and Southeast Los Angeles, has provided disaster relief assistance to families by providing shelter, food, emotional support, and other necessities since 1917. The local branch, the American Red Cross serving Compton, Greater Long Beach, South Bay, Metro, and Southeast Los Angeles has provided family communications and other support to active duty members of the military, trained individuals locally in CPR, First Aid, water safety courses and other essential training. The American Red Cross has also

10. American Red Cross Awareness Month - Staff Report
March 28, 2023

reconnected families worldwide separated by war or armed conflict.

This lifesaving work is vital to strengthening our community’s resilience.

National Red Cross Awareness Month is a month-long observance recognizing the American Red Cross as a true reflection of the humanitarian and volunteer spirit. Nearly 200 years since the birth of America Red Cross, founder Clara Barton let us acknowledge those who continue to advance her noble legacy and ask others to join in their commitment to care for people in need. The month of March is a great time for people to become a part of the Red Cross by becoming volunteers, donating blood, or taking lifesaving skills classes.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact in the adoption of this resolution.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopts the attached Resolution.

CITY MANAGER

BACKGROUND
As a part of the American Rescue Plan, the City of Compton was allocated a one-time allocation of HOME-American Rescue Plan (ARP) funding in the amount of $1,988,847.

These grant funds are to be administered through HUD’s HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME). These one-time funds are in addition to the City’s annual allocation of HOME funds.

In accordance with HUD requirements, staff prepared the draft HOME-ARP Plan for public review and comment prior to City Council approval.

HOME-ARP funds can be used for the following primary activities: (1) development and support of affordable housing, (2) tenant-based rental assistance (TBRA), (3) provision of supportive services; and (4) acquisition and development of non-congregate shelter units. A participating jurisdiction may use up to 10% of the award for Nonprofit Operating and Capacity Building Assistance and 15% of the award for Administration and Planning.

To receive the HOME-ARP funds, a participating jurisdiction (PJ) must submit an allocation plan to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The PJ must engage in consultation and public participation processes to develop the allocation plan. Traditionally, this allocation plan would be submitted as a substantial amendment to the annual action plan submitted by PJs that administer a HOME program. Since Compton receives annual HOME funds, it is required that the City submits a substantial amendment to HUD. Therefore, Compton is submitting the allocation plan as a substantial amendment to its annual action plan to receive HOME-ARP funds. The allocation plan format follows a prescribed HUD template, so some information is presented in multiple sections.

The HOME-ARP allocation plan must describe how the PJ intends to distribute HOME-ARP funds, including how it will use these funds to address the needs of HOME-ARP qualifying population. A PJ’s HOME-ARP allocation plan must Include:
 A summary of the consultation process and results of upfront consultation.  A summary of comments received through the public participation process and a summary of any comments or recommendations not accepted and the reasons why;  A description of HOME-ARP qualifying populations within the jurisdiction;  An assessment of gaps in housing and shelter inventory, homeless assistance and services, and homelessness prevention service delivery system;  A summary of the planned use of HOME-ARP funds for eligible activities based on the unmet needs of the qualifying populations;
 An estimate of the number of housing units for qualifying populations the PJ will produce or preserve with its HOME-ARP allocation; and
 A description of any preferences for individuals and families in a particular qualifying population or a segment of a qualifying population.

Compton conducted significant consultation with the general public, homeless-related non-profit agencies, government agencies and the Los Angeles County Continuum of Care (CoC) in preparing the HOME-ARP allocation plan.
4 Consultation
Before developing its plan, a PJ must consult with the Continuum of Care (CoCs) serving the jurisdiction’s geographic area, homeless and domestic violence service providers, veterans’ groups, public housing agencies (PHAs), and public or private organizations that address fair housing, civil rights, and the needs of persons with disabilities. Local PJs must consult with all PHAs (including statewide or regional PHAs) and CoCs servicing the jurisdiction.

Summarize the Consultation Process.

The City consulted with public and private entities to gather the data necessary for the preparation of this Plan. These stakeholders have relevant knowledge that can speak to the needs, service gaps, and potential activities that would best benefit the qualifying populations. The City of Compton solicited feedback through an electronic consultation packet sent to all local agencies consisting of “QPs” related questions and a supplemental survey went out local businesses and community members. The consultation packet questions, and survey can be found in Appendix A.

Staff distributed the consultation questions to over 15 local agencies within the organizations listed below and requested feedback from said agencies regarding utilization of HOME-ARP funds and gaps in the service delivery system within the City of Compton. The supplemental survey consists of 40 questions intended to quantify the perspectives of the consulted agencies, businesses, and community members regarding the preferred use of the HOME-ARP funds. The city received survey responses from February 24, 2023, until March 10, 2023. Survey results were presented to the City’s Community Relations Committee on March 14, 2023, for the Committee to provide feedback and fulfill consultation guidelines. The Community Relations Committee addresses the needs of the City's veterans, homeless population, adults with developmental disabilities, and children with special needs. The survey responses are available in Appendix B and are referenced throughout this document.

To fulfill the CoC consultation requirement, City staff participated in a zoom meeting hosted by Volunteers of America (VOA) on March 1, 2023. VOA also provide recommendation on how the city should utilizes the HOME-ARP funding. VOA recommended three uses for funding:
supportive services, development of affordable housing and tenant-based rental assistance (TBRA) services. It should be noted that VOA recommendations are generalized for Greater Los Angeles in its jurisdiction – including the City of Compton – and therefore do not take into account the unique homeless landscape of Los Angeles County’s South Los Angeles region, locally referred to as Service Planning Area 6 (SPA 6), and in the City of Compton. 5 List the Organizations Consulted, and Summarize the Feedback Received from these Entities.

6 Public Participation
PJs must provide for and encourage citizen participation in the development of the HOME-ARP allocation plan. Before submission of the plan, PJs must provide residents with reasonable notice and an opportunity to comment on the proposed HOME-ARP allocation plan of no less than 15 calendar days. The PJ must follow its adopted requirements for “reasonable notice and an opportunity to comment” for plan amendments in its current citizen participation plan. In addition, PJs must hold at least one public hearing during the development of the HOME-ARP allocation plan and prior to submission.

For the purposes of HOME-ARP, PJs are required to make the following information available to the public:
 The amount of HOME-ARP the PJ will receive, and
 The range of activities the PJ may undertake.

Describe the public participation process, including the information about the dates of the public comment period and public hearing(s) held during the development of the plan.  Public comment period: Start Date- 3/08/2023 End Date- 3/28/2023  Public hearing: 3/28/2023
To encourage citizen participation in the development of the allocation plan, the City has provided residents with the opportunity to comment on the proposed HOME-ARP allocation plan during the two separate occasions. The first opportunity was the distribution of the community survey which was released on February 24, 2023. The purpose of the community survey was to include the community in the consultations and for the public to provide feedback. Information regarding the commission consultation was made available to the public on February 28, 2023 and the community was able to provide feedback from February 24, 2023 – March 10, 2023. All comments received from the survey are included in this plan.

The additional opportunity for the public to participate is during a public comment period of no less than 15 calendar days. The public comment period begins on March 06, 2023 and will conclude on March 28, 2023. On March 28, 2023, the allocation plan will be brought to the Compton City Council for a public hearing prior to submission. During the public hearing, staff will discuss the development of the HOME- ARP allocation plan, which incorporates information and discussion of community needs and eligible activities related to HOME-ARP, along with an opportunity for the public to provide comments on the proposed activities. Comments from this public hearing will be available following the hearing through the City Clerk’s office.

Describe any efforts to broaden public participation.

To broaden public participation two approaches were taken: (1) broaden scope of consultation groups and (2) presentation to the Community Relations Committee. Compton expanded the consultation groups to include those not explicitly stated in the HOME-ARP requirements. Staff consulted with the local medical centers, school districts, and mental health advocates. Compton understands the multifaceted issues facing the qualifying populations and wanted to consult with organizations that understand and serve those populations as well to complete a well-rounded understanding of the needs of our community.
7 Staff from the Community Development Department presented the results of the consultations to the Community Relations Committee to elicit additional public comment. The Community report was made available for the public on February 24, 2023 and was presented to the Committee on February 28, 2023. All comments received from the public during the Community meeting are included in this plan. In addition to the Community Relations Committee, a public notice advertising the availability of the HOME- ARP allocation plan and public hearing was published on March 1, 2023, in the local newspaper The Compton Bulletin.

A PJ Must Consider Any Comments or Views of Residents Received in Writing, or Orally at a Public Hearing, When Preparing the HOME-ARP Allocation Plan.

Summarize the comments and recommendations received through the public participation process.

Comments and recommendations received through public participation will be included as they are received.

Summarize any comments or recommendations not accepted and state the reasons why.

Community Relations Committee - All comments or recommendations were accepted from the Community Relations Committee meeting held on February 21, 2023. One member of the committee stated that he would like to see the funds utilized for support services. Specifically, the member commented that the funds should be allocated to invest in tenant-based rental assistance programs. No members of the public provided feedback during this meeting.

Public Hearing - The Public Hearing is scheduled for March 28, 2023. This section will be completed after the Public Hearing takes place.

Needs Assessment and Gaps Analysis
PJs must evaluate the size and demographic composition of qualifying populations within its boundaries and assess the unmet needs of those populations. In addition, a PJ must identify any gaps within its current shelter and housing inventory as well as the service delivery system. A PJ should use current data, including point in time count, housing inventory count or other data available through CoCs, and consultations with service providers to quantify the individuals and families in the qualifying populations and their need for additional housing, shelter, or services.

Describe the size and demographic composition of qualifying populations within the PJ’s boundaries.

Homeless
Every year, LAHSA conducts a Point in Time count to create a census of unsheltered and sheltered individuals/families experiencing homelessness within Los Angeles County. According to the 2022 Point in Time count, there were 644 people experiencing homelessness in Compton.

This represents a 260% increase from 2017.1 The 2022 Homeless Count information is the most current data that the City of Compton has due to the cancellation of the 2021 Homeless Count.

Table 1 shows the demographic distribution of people experiencing homelessness within the City of Compton. As shows in Graph A, although the number of sheltered individuals has increased, 8 there is not adequate shelter for those experiencing homelessness in Compton. Of the 644 people experiencing homelessness, 238 are sheltered.

There are eight SPAs in Los Angeles County; Compton is located in SPA 6. Table 2 shows the demographic breakdown of individuals/families experiencing homelessness within SPA 6. The population of people experiencing homelessness in SPA 6 is majority individual, male, aged 25-54, and living in a vehicle.

HUD receives custom tabulations of American Community Survey (ACS) data from the U.S.

Census Bureau. This data, known as the “CHAS” data (Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy), quantifies the extent of housing problems and housing needs, particularly for lowincome households. The most current CHAS data is from the 2014-2018 ACS. The City of Compton anticipates that the number of households with a cost burden has increased since 2018 due to the economic results of the COVID-19 pandemic.

10 The CHAS data shows that Compton has 2,200 property owners and 4,715 renters below 30% of HUD Area Median Family Income (HAMFI). This figure represents 29% of all Compton households.3 The income distribution of renter households is shown in Graph B (below); 14.4% of Compton renter households are at or below 30% HAMFI.

Of the 4,715 below 30% HAMFI renter households, 7,755 (71%) have at least 1 of the 4 HUD defined “housing problem” 4. The 4 housing problems are: incomplete kitchen facilities, incomplete plumbing facilities, more than 1 person per room, and cost burden greater than 30%. A household is considered to be experiencing a cost burden if it spends more than 30% of its gross income on housing and experiencing a severe cost burden if it spends more than 50% of its gross income on housing. Cost burden is determined by the ratio of housing costs to household income. For renters, housing cost is gross rent (contract rent plus utilities). 2,530 (74%) of the below 30% HAMFI renter households are paying over 30% of their household income on rent and utilities.5 3,845 (35%) of the below 30% HAMFI renter households are paying over 50% of their household income on rent and utilities

11 Other Families Requiring Services or Housing Assistance to Prevent Homelessness The HOME-ARP notice defines this category as households (i.e., individuals and families) who have previous been qualified as “homeless” as defined in 24 CFR 91.5, are currently housed due to temporary or emergency assistance, including financial assistance, services, temporary rental assistance or some type of other assistance to allow the household to be housed, and who need additional housing assistance or supportive services to avoid a return to homelessness.

Other Populations At Greatest Risk of Housing Instability The HOME-ARP notice defines “Other Populations At Greatest Risk of Housing Instability” in two ways. The first is “has annual income that is less than or equal to 30% of the area median income, as determined by HUD and is experiencing severe cost burden (i.e., is paying more than 50% of monthly household income toward housing cost).” 9 Of the 4,715 below 30% HAMFI renter households in Compton, 3,210 are experiencing a severe cost burden (68%).10 The second definition is that the household has annual income that is less than or equal to 50% of the area median income, as determined by HUD, and meets one of the conditions of “At risk of Homelessness.” The CHAS data does not have the same “at risk of homelessness” conditions as HOME-ARP. However, 2,530 of the 10,975 50% HAMFI or below renter household reported one of the four housing problems (incomplete kitchen facilities, incomplete plumbing facilities, more than 1 person per room, and cost burden greater than 30%).11 This data is shown in Graph C (below).

The first unmet housing and service need identified by the consulted organizations was affordable housing and available units. Table 3 shows the gap for households below 30% HAMFI and below 50% HAMFI. Based on the current CHAS data, the gap for households below 30% HAMFI total 3,505 households. Households below 50% HAMFI have a gap of 1,455 households.

The City’s population has steadily increased in the last 25 years at approximately 3 percent over each decade; however, the number of housing units has not kept equal pace. Most of the population growth was adsorbed by existing households. Compton’s average household size increased from 3.78 persons per housing unit in 1980 to 4.23 persons per housing unit in 2015 (according to the DOF). By comparison, Los Angeles County has 3.0 persons per household, based on 2009-2013 American Community Survey five-year estimates (2009-2013 ACS).12 According to the 2013 -2017 ACS, the City of Compton’s housing vacancy rate is estimated at

4.9%, which is below the 2010 countywide rate of 5.8%. Compton’s vacancy rate is 1.5 among owner-occupied units and 3.3% among renter occupied units, versus countywide vacancy rate of

3.8%. These rates are lower than 2013 rates in Compton, which was 8 percent for all unit. Still, the overall housing vacancy rates in the community appear to be optimal.13 According to the 2017-2021 ACS, the median contract rent was $1,329 per month in Compton, compared to $1,653 for Los Angeles County.12 Approximately 34 homes/townhomes were available for rent as of September 2021 according to Zillow.com, and 75 apartments were listed for rent. At the same time as housing prices have increased, the price of rental listings has also Table 3: Compton Homeless Needs Inventory-Rent Affordability Gap

 Five-bedroom house: $3,600
Additionally, none of the organizations consulted through the electronic consultation packet stated that they provide affordable housing. The City of Compton is one of eight independent SPA 6 cities that has its own public housing agency. Compton Housing administers two HUD voucher programs: Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV,) and Emergency Housing Vouchers (EHV, 53 allocated). The EHV program provides rental assistance for households experiencing homelessness, at risk of homelessness, recently homeless, and fleeing, or attempting to flee, domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, or human trafficking. These types of programs bridge the gap between market rate units and affordable housing units. One of the goals of the City’s Homeless Plan is to leverage existing City resources to focus on homelessness or prevention programs.

Supportive Services: Sheltered and Unsheltered Homeless Population From 2017 to 2022, overall homelessness in the City of Compton grew dramatically by over 260%.

Of the 644 people experiencing homelessness, 237 are experiencing vehicular homelessness, 169 experiencing street homelessness, and 238 experiencing sheltered homelessness. People experiencing unsheltered homelessness are at a great risk of continued harm due to higher rates of morbidity and mortality resulting from pre-existing conditions, exposure to the elements, lack of access to healthcare, and elevated rates of hospitalizations with longer, more complex hospital stays. The process of resolving homelessness is complicated and takes a substantial amount of time and resources compared to that for people receiving temporary shelter.

It is important to connect people with the right level of services to ensure their success in combating homelessness. Housing options must be flexible, client-centered, easily accessible, and paired with support services necessary to help clients remain in housing for the long term.

Returning to homelessness after a housing placement is re-traumatizing for the families and inefficient use of assistance resources. The unsheltered homeless population needs case management referrals to medical services, mental health and substance use disorder treatments, permanent supportive housing, and interim housing. The sheltered homeless population needs housing navigation, referrals to tenant - based rental assistance, job training, and referrals to medical services, mental health and substance use disorder treatments.

The city relies heavily on the Los Angeles County Coordinated Entry System (CES) to provide resources for those experiencing homelessness within city-limits. Currently, Compton works closely with LAHSA and HOPICS to provide case management for the entire City. As mentioned previously, the City of Compton has an allocation of 53 Emergency Housing Vouchers (EHVs), 15 but this HUD program does not provide case management funding. LAHSA recommends that PJs consider using HOME-ARP funding for supportive service needs to fill this gap. These include housing navigation services to assist with locating and securing a housing unit for people experiencing homelessness, as well as tenant retention services to support the success of tenants and landlords once they are housed using an EHV. In alignment with the information above regarding the availability of subsidies, this recommendation encourages the use of funds to pair supportive services with EHVs, namely Navigators. During office hours provided by LAHSA to discuss the jurisdictions allocation plan, LAHSA was in support for the use of funds for supportive services that the City indicates throughout the allocation plan. Additionally, many of the unmet housing and service needs identified by the consulted organizations: case management, deposit funding, mental health services, and landlord/service provider relationships are all covered under the HOME-ARP supportive services use.14

Individuals and Families at Risk of Homelessness
HUD defines those at risk of homelessness as individuals and families who have an income below 30% of the area median income (AMI), do not have sufficient resources or support networks to prevent them from becoming homeless, or live with instability, like moving two or more times during the last 60 days due to economic reasons. Using HUD’s 2015-2019 CHAS data, Compton has 6,915 households at or below 30% HAMFI, making up 29% of Compton’s households. 20% of all households with incomes at or below 30% HAMFI are renter households. Tenant based rental assistance programs can bridge the gap between market rate rents and tenant income, thus preventing homelessness. Many tenants based rental assistance programs are targeted to families that are at risk of homelessness. However, after consultation, all electronically consulted organizations believed that the city should consider using the HOME-ARP funding for rental assistance. 15 Another unmet housing need within this population is supportive services. Through supportive services, individuals, and families at risk of homelessness can be matched to resources within the CoC that can help address the affordability gap.

Fleeing or Attempting to Flee Domestic Violence or Human Trafficking There are four agencies providing emergency shelters and transitional housing programs throughout SPA 6 that assist domestic violence victims, their family members, and pets. In addition to housing accommodations, there are various additional services provided such as counseling and advocacy assistance. Domestic violence or human trafficking survivors often lack easy access to short-term shelter and quick access to medical and mental health services. In addition, there are only informal networks to connect survivors to job opportunities. Without economic dependence, many survivors are caught in abusive relationships and the gains they make with traditional social services are not fully realized. The consulted Volunteers of America stated that the major unmet housing needs for survivors are availability of affordable housing and shelter/interim housing beds for survivors. Additionally, Volunteers of America supported the use of HOME-ARP for development of affordable housing, supportive services, and tenant based rental assistance.
16 Residents Living in Housing Instability or In Unstable Housing Situations HOME –ARP qualifying populations also include other populations who have previously qualified as homeless, are currently housed with temporary or emergency assistance, and who need additional housing assistance or supportive services to avoid a return to homelessness. In addition, HUD defines those at greatest risk of housing instability as households that have an annual income less than 30% AMI and are experiencing severe cost burden or have an income less than 50% AMI and meet a certain condition, like living in someone else’s home or living in a hotel due to an economic hardship. Many renters in Compton experience various housing challenges. A total of 54% of all Compton renters have housing problems or severe housing problems.16 HUD defines housing problems as a household that has one or more of the following:
lacking a kitchen sink or plumbing, having more than one person per room, or being housing cost burdened at 30% or more. The unmet housing need of this population is affordable and available housing that does not exceed 30% of the household income. This can be achieved through the development of affordable housing or tenant based rental assistance. Oftentimes, households require supportive services to help find housing resources, pay for security deposits, and address other gaps within the household’s housing situation.
15 Source: Electronic Consultation Survey
16 Source: CHAS
Other households requiring services or housing assistance or to prevent homelessness There are a limited number of households receiving time-limited subsidies within the City of Compton. These subsidy programs vary in length and amount of assistance received. The unmet housing need of this population is supportive services to facilitate applications to permanent housing resources and/or assistance in attaining increased income. Through the EHV program, LAHSA has matched participants in rapid rehousing with EHV vouchers. However, as noted by LAHSA, EHV vouchers do not come with permanent supportive services.

Identify and consider the current resources available to assist qualifying populations, including congregate and non-congregate shelter units, supportive services, TBRA, and affordable and permanent supportive rental housing.

Shelter Inventory
As previously mentioned, the City of Compton does not currently have a large amount of shelter resources to refer people experiencing homelessness. This lack of shelter was expressed by the consulted organizations as shown in Graph E. 58.3% of the electronically consulted organizations expressed a lack of interim housing resources.20 To address this gap, the City of Compton will look into partnering with shelters in surrounding areas. 20 Source: Electronic Consultation Survey

23 Housing Inventory
The consulted organizations identified a need for additional affordable housing and Section 8 housing in the City of Compton (Graph F). As shown in Table 3 Compton Homeless Needs Inventory-Rent Affordability Gap there is a sizable gap between the number of extremely low and very low-income Compton households and the number of affordable units available to those households.

Service Delivery System
The consulted organizations identified gaps within the service delivery system. These gaps include City resource portals, collaboration with healthcare providers, interim housing, case management, mental health services, treatment services, and support for homeless families.

Identify the characteristics of housing associated with instability and an increased risk of homelessness if the PJ will include such conditions in its definition of “other populations” as established in the HOME-ARP Notice.

The City of Compton will not be including other populations in the Allocation Plan.

Identify priority needs for qualifying populations.

Based on the information provided from the CHAS data and the consultations provided by the various organizations, Compton has determined that the priority need for the qualifying populations is supportive services and tenant based rental assistance. According to the electronic consultation survey, over 90 percent of the electronically consulted agencies were in support of the City using HOME-ARP funds for supportive services and tenant based rental assistance.21 90 percent of the electronically consulted agencies also referenced the need for affordable housing.

One of the consulted organizations the County-funded homelessness system is not able to provide an immediate response (same day) to meet the needs of the unhoused. Compton currently has one street outreach/case manager and she’s made tremendous progress in working

24 with the homeless population and various agencies. However, for the size of the City’s homelessness population based on the Homeless Count, there needs to be more City-dedicated staff to ‘move the needle’ as more and more people become homeless due to economic situations.

These were large needs two (2) years ago and the pandemic has only increased them. 22 The provision of supportive services is priority need for all of the qualifying populations: homeless; at risk of homelessness; fleeing or attempting to flee domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, or human trafficking; and other populations where providing assistance would prevent the population needs supportive services to become document ready and connected to interim shelter resources for stabilization. The “at risk of homelessness” and “other at risk population” needs supportive services for connections to tenant based rental assistance, referrals to affordable housing, and problem solving assistance (security deposits, short-term subsidies, moving expenses, etc.). Those who or attempting to flee domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, or human trafficking require connections with supportive services to facilitate the transfer to safe interim shelter options, connections to legal services, and applications for subsidy program (income and housing).

Explain how the level of need and gaps in its shelter and housing inventory and service delivery systems based on the data presented in the plan were determined.

The level of need and gaps in the shelter and housing inventory and service delivery systems based on the data presented in the plan was determined by the collected responses from organizations that provide services for Compton and the CHAS data collected by HUD.

 No housing for domestic violence survivors (9.1%)
 No coordination with housing and services provider (9.1%) The high demand and low supply of housing (18.2%) Section 8 housing options (27.3%)  No affordable housing (27.3%)

Describe the methods for soliciting applications for funding and/or selecting developers, service providers, sub recipients and/or contractors and whether the PJ will administer eligible activities directly.

The City of Compton will use the HOME-ARP funds to promote private/public partnerships as a vehicle for expanding and providing supportive services to people experiencing homelessness within the boundaries of the City. HOME-ARP funds may be leveraged with private and public funding sources to support activities for supportive services.

The City of Compton will use the standard procurement processes that the City currently has in place. If the City chooses to extend the contract of a supportive service provider that is currently working within the City, the City will ensure that the contract is in compliance with all HOME-ARP requirements.

If any portion of the PJ’s HOME-ARP administrative funds were provided to a subrecipient or contractor prior to HUD’s acceptance of HOME-ARP allocation plan because the subrecipient or contractor is responsible for the administration of the PJ’s entire HOME-ARP grant, identify the subrecipient or contractor and describe its role and responsibilities in administering all of the PJ’s HOME-ARP program.

The City of Compton will not allocate any portion of its HOME-ARP administrative funds to a subrecipient or contractor prior to HUD’s acceptance of the HOME-ARP allocation plan.

PJs must indicate the amount of HOME-ARP funding that is planned for each eligible HOME-ARP activity type and demonstrate that any planned funding for nonprofit organization operating assistance, nonprofit capacity building, and administrative costs is within HOME-ARP limits.

27 HOME-ARP Production Housing Goals
Estimate the number of affordable rental housing units for qualifying populations that the PJ will produce or support with its HOME-ARP allocation.

The City of Compton will not be producing or supporting affordable rental housing units through our HOME-ARP allocation.

Describe the specific affordable rental housing production goal that the PJ hopes to achieve and describe how it will address the PJ’s priority needs.

The City of Compton does not have a specific affordable rental housing production goal that will utilize HOME-ARP funds.

Preferences
Identify whether the PJ intends to give preference to one or more qualifying populations or subpopulation within one or more qualifying populations for any eligible activity or project.  Preferences cannot violate any applicable fair housing, civil rights, and nondiscrimination requirements, including but not limited to those requirements listed in 24 CFR 5.1015(a)
 PJs are not required to describe specific projects to which the preference will apply
The City of Compton will give a preference to individuals experiencing homelessness in Compton as defined by the HOME-ARP notice.

If a preference was identified, explain how the use of a preference or method of prioritization will address the unmet need or gap in benefits and services received by individuals and families in the qualifying population, consistent with the PJ’s needs assessment and gap analysis.

The prioritization of people experiencing homelessness will address the most pressing unmet housing needs in the City. By using the funding for supportive services, the City will expand the reach of the supportive services available for those experiencing homelessness within the temporary housing community and identifying those experiencing homelessness throughout the City of Compton.

The CHAS data shows that 43% of Compton renters are below 30% HAMFI. The City’s resources will be better used towards people experiencing homelessness where we have seen an exponential increase.

The City will continue to work with Los Angeles Housing Services Authority (LAHSA) along with referrals from City staff, City public safety teams, and other City partners to determine the individuals/families that will occupy the temporary housing community.

Because the residents of the temporary housing community areconsidered “homeless,” 28 the residents in this community will received the preference for supportive services and tenant-based rental assistance within HOME-ARP. Compton will implement a waiting list for the interim housing community and will prioritize people experiencing homelessness in Compton for supportive services and TBRA.

If the City uses HOME-ARP funds for outreach, the supportive service providers will enter individuals/families they outreach to into the Coordinated Entry System.

If a preference was identified, describe how PJ will use HOME-ARP funds to address the unmetneeds or gaps in benefits and services of the other qualifying populations that are not included in the preference.

The City of Compton will utilize the supportive service providers to refer the other qualifying populations to other resources within the Los Angeles County CoC. On the LAHSA website, LAHSA identified problem solving as a viable prevention tool. The City’s contracted supportive service providers will refer households at risk of homelessness to problem solving resources throughout Los Angeles County.

HOME-ARP Refinancing Guidelines
If the PJ intends to use HOME-ARP funds to refinance existing debt secured by multifamily rental housing that is being rehabilitated with HOME-ARP funds, the PJ must state its HOME-ARP refinancing guidelines in accordance with 24 CFR

92.206(b). The guidelines must describe the conditions under with the PJ will refinance existing debt for a HOME-ARP rental project including:
 Establish a minimum level of rehabilitation per unit or a required ratio between rehabilitation and refinancing to demonstrate that rehabilitation of HOME-ARP rental housing is the primary eligible activity.  Require a review of management practice to demonstrate that disinvestment in the property has not occurred; that the long-term needs of the project can be met; and that the feasibility of serving qualified populations for the minimum compliance period can be demonstrated.
 State whether the new investment is being made to maintain current affordable units, create additional affordable units, or both.  Specify the required compliance period, whether it is the minimum 15 years or longer.
 State that HOME-ARP funds cannot be used to refinance multifamily loans made or insured by any federal program, including CDBG.  Other requirements in the PJ’s guidelines, if applicable.

The City of Compton does not intend on using HOME-ARP funds to refinance existing debt secured by multifamily rental units that are being rehabilitated with HOME-ARP funds.

BACKGROUND
In October 2022, the Auditor of the State of California issued Report 2021-802 to the City, which contained the results of the State Auditor’s audit of the City and recommendations. The “Priority 1” recommendation is to ensure the City has consistent, qualified management and fundamental plans in place to address the challenges it is currently facing. Report 2021-802 recommends that City Council should prioritize taking the following action:
“By April 2023, propose city charter amendments to be voted on in the next statewide general election—and amend all related guidelines, such as the personnel rules and regulations, to the extent permissible under the existing charter—to prioritize an open, competitive hiring process for all positions. The city council’s proposed charter amendments should also explicitly require that Compton use an open, competitive hiring process whenever it makes permanent appointments for key leadership positions that include but are not limited to the following: city manager, city controller, human resources director, and budget officer. As part of this process, the city council should develop detailed job qualifications for the city manager position.” The proposed Charter amendments amend Article VII, Officers, Powers, and Duties, and Article XI, Civil Service, of the Charter. Proposing Charter amendments to prioritize an open, competitive hiring process requires City Council to bring forth a motion to

IMPROVEMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT 2022-2023 FISCAL YEAR
BUDGET TO DELETE TWO (2) ADMINISTRATIVE SPECIALISTS
POSITIONS AND ONE (1) SECURITY SERVICES COORDINATOR
POSITION AND ADD TWO (2) SECURITY SERVICES SUPERVISOR

POSITIONS

SUMMARY
Adoption of this resolution will authorize the City Manager to amend the Community Improvement Services Departments’ 2022-2023 Fiscal Year budget to delete two (2) Administrative Specialist positions and one (1) Security Services Coordinator position, and add two (2) Security Services Supervisor positions.

BACKGROUND
On June 30, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 25,694, adopting the City of Compton’s Fiscal Year 2022-2023 budget.
