Elizabeth Aguilar, Compton resident, asked that Councilperson Duhart, Mayor Sharif and City Manager Groomes address the construction on 134th Street. She detailed that the street already lacks adequate parking for existing residents and the school nearby. She requested a meeting to discuss solutions for the increase in traffic and the lack of privacy now due to the new homes currently being built on her street.

City Attorney Perrodin encouraged the residents to attend the Planning Commission’s meeting on Wednesday to discuss Kipp School’s application to build a school in another location.

Joseph Enayati Business owner, stated that after being open for only four months, the City shut down his business for not having a certificate of occupancy. He pleaded with the City to accept the production company’s permit to film at his warehouse until his property becomes a certified motion picture studio in three years. He commented that it is not fair for the City to close his business because they agreed that he could buy the building and do his business. He mentioned the improvements that he made to the property and declared that the building is safe.

Councilperson Bowers instructed the City Manager to speak with Building and Safety regarding Joseph’s concerns surrounding the permit process.

Tye Bokay, Compton Initiative, thanked the City Council for continuing to support the Compton Initiative’s effort to clean and beautify the City of Compton.

She also warned the residents about three men going door-to-door telling residents that they need to come into their homes to test their water.

Maria Villa Real, Latino Chamber of Commerce, asked that Councilperson Duhart take a drive down Rosecrans Avenue to observe the number of marijuana dispensaries popping up every day.

She spoke in opposition to the newest dispensary located at 541 Rosecrans Boulevard because it is in close proximity to a school. She went on to question why the dispensaries are able to open their doors right away and make changes to their infrastructure when the businesses that can benefit the City of Compton undergo challenges.

Ernest Green, Compton resident, pleaded with the City of Compton to address the homeless encampments at the gas station located on Santa Fe and Artesia Boulevard.

Daniel Salazar, President of Compton Firefighters Local 2216, acknowledged the positive movement towards a contract with the City of Compton.

Craig Henry, Compton resident, welcomed Jerry Groomes back to the City of Compton. Mr.

Henry went on to state that he has nothing but good things to say about Victor in the Building & Safety Department and mentioned that he did his research prior to applying for and receiving his business permit.

He also requested cooling stations for senior citizens that do not have air conditioners in their homes.

Aaron Diaz, Compton resident, expressed his appreciation for Councilperson Spicer, Compton College, and many others for their support of him becoming the top youth ambassador out of 140 youth located throughout Los Angeles.

Marjorie Shipp, Compton resident, complimented the City Clerk on her oral report a few weeks ago regarding monies that were borrowed from one department to pay another in the year 2011.

Ms. Shipp went on to encourage the City Council to work together for the betterment of the constituents and to make their votes known.

Joyce Kelley Unknown woman, held that the City Charter is not in effect, because it has not been accepted and filed by the California Secretary of State. She suggested that each elected official select their own assistants; and asked that Kareema Bradford be brought back to the City to ensure that qualified people are being hired. She further asked that the Water Department extend their hours for people that work long hours who need to address their water bills.

City Clerk McDaniel clarified that the Charter has been filed, and the receipt is available in the City Clerk’s Office for anyone to review.

Martin Miller Unknown man, questioned why Mayor Sharif did not give Thomas Thomas more time to get acclimated to the City Manager position. He went on to state that he would not ask for her resignation again, and affirmed that he is praying that she will resign on her own. He further encouraged the City Attorney to make the special election happen to avoid negative feedback.

Barbara Baker Compton resident, cited Item Number Five and questioned why the City is working with an investor instead of a developer. She also requested an update concerning when the City would start shutting down marijuana dispensaries.

Lynn Boone, Compton resident, questioned how the marijuana dispensaries are open and operating when the residents voted 70% against them. Ms. Boone went on to claim that there is no legal documentation that supports and authorizes Andre Spicer to represent District Two. She further affirmed that he should not be voting on issues in the City of Compton.

Councilperson Spicer clarified that he won his election three times. Mr. Spicer also stated that after voter fraud was proven during the election, he was appointed by a judge in court to represent District Two in the City of Compton.

Vanessa Cain Unknown woman, accused the City Council of consistent corruption over the past twenty years. She went on to state that the citizens of Compton deserve a special election and a City that enforces the law.

Fidel Marquez, Compton resident, cited Item Number Five and questioned why the City is catering to investors when it should be focused on infrastructure and a growing homeless population. He asked that Mayor Sharif explain the City’s plan to spend the $2M they received in April 2023 to address homelessness in the City of Compton. He mentioned a takeover that took place on Central and Alondra Boulevard and questioned what the citizens should do to protect themselves when they drive through the City or go out at night.

City Clerk McDaniel stated that the City Clerk’s Office is prepared and ready to process the proponents of petitions when they are clear of inefficiencies.

PUBLIC COMMENTS ON AGENDA ITEMS AND NON-AGENDA MATTERS
Barbara Calhoun, former councilperson, stated that after doing some research, she found out that in 2022 - the City Council approved a resolution to shift the rubbish waste charges from the Compton water bills to the tax rolls. She went on to question why this item is being brought before the residents now, why the rubbish bills are not already on the tax roll, why notices have not been sent out, and why the water bills have not been pro-rated.

Missy Barbara, Compton resident, requested the identity of the person who requested this special meeting. She also voiced a concern on behalf of the community if Item Number One is approved.

Lynn Boone, Compton resident, commented that the action that Mr. Meza is trying to take right now, is different than what was approved in 2022. She presented documentation regarding 144 delinquent tax lien customers and questioned why the residents are being held responsible for payment. She further commented that the department heads consistently disrespect the members of the City Council by coming before them with resolutions that will be initiated with or without their approval.

Fidel Marquez, Compton resident, stated that it is very important for the residents to know who called this meeting. He commented on his disapproval for Item Number One, citing the current increase in fees and charges that he receives on his bill. He contended that Item Number One will be a burden on the residents considering the cost of inflation.

Jacqueline Venters, Compton resident, commented that it is unfair to the residents to add anymore charges to their property taxes. She asked that the City Council focus on developments that benefit the residents and property owners versus adding more charges to their bills and tax rolls for insufficient services provided.

3. Councilperson Bowers stated that he remembers a five-year contract with Republic coming before the City Council last November to which he was not in favor of. He commented that this item was written into that resolution with no public hearing scheduled to advise the people of what was coming. Mr. Bowers stated that the people did not have a chance to speak up and adding to that, he affirmed that the residents were not made aware of the $10M in utility assistance from the PACE program. Mr. Bowers expressed a concern for property owners potentially losing their properties over this item and his dissatisfaction with the City’s accounting system.

It was motioned by Duhart, seconded by Darden, to discuss this item.

City Manager Groomes stated that he asked for this special meeting due to concerns from staff.

He clarified that there is no expected burden on anybody with this action, no additional tax, fees or monies coming to the City with the exception of funds that were not collected. Mr. Groomes commented that other water service providers in Compton and numerous cities - use this method for collection. Mr. Groomes suggested that landlords add the rubbish charges to their tenants monthly rent charges.

Councilperson Darden cited page 14 of Republic’s contract and commented that this item should have been brought before the City Council prior to July 1, 2023 to ensure that all residential and multi-family accounts are placed on the county’s secured tax roll for billing services.

Councilperson Darden asked if the delinquent accounts include the payment plans instituted during COVID.

Councilperson Darden stated that this item must be approved or else the City will be liable for paying Republic for all rubbish services.

Victor Meza, Water Department General Manager, stated that a public hearing was held during the time period. However, the majority of the focus was on the tax rates from 2023 to 2027 and foregoing possible rate increases for 18 months. Mr. Meza stated that in November 2022, the City accepted the contract with Republic and after a review of their accounts they submitted a report indicating that they have not received payment from 144 accounts amounting to approximately $200,000. Mr. Meza stated that the City reviewed and approved the report.

Additionally, Mr. Meza cited a potential breach of contract for unpaid accounts if the City does not follow through on what was agreed upon.

Councilperson Bowers stated that he remembers approving a contract with Republic to pay off all accounts in arrears. Mr. Meza stated that prior management did not budget enough to cover the total amount due.

Councilperson Duhart requested clarity on the report provided by the Water Department. Mr.

Meza stated that the report includes: names, addresses, and parcel numbers of delinquent account holders and the amount due; information from non-City of Compton water customers that are currently on the tax roll, and the list of Compton water customers that will be transferred to the tax roll.

Councilperson Darden asked if Republic will be paying the City of Compton an administration fee for placing their delinquent accounts on their tax bill. Mr. Meza cited a ten percent administrative fee, plus a one percent charge fee based on the CPI that the City will receive per transaction.

On motion by Duhart, seconded by Darden, Resolution # 25,882 entitled “A RESOLUTION OF

SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON

AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ACCEPT THE PROPOSAL

SUBMITTED BY MARIPOSA ECO CONSULTING FOR PROVIDING
CONSULTING SERVICES TO COMPLY WITH SB 1383 REGULATIONS,

IMPLEMENTATION, AND RECORDKEEPING, TO ENTER INTO A TWO
(2) YEAR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT, AND TO

ESTABLISH A PURCHASE ORDER IN THE AMOUNT OF EIGHTY
THOUSAND DOLLARS ($80,000) FOR FISCAL YEARS 2023-2024 AND 2024-2025.

SUMMARY
Adoption of this resolution will authorize the City Manager to accept the proposal submitted by Mariposa Consulting, Inc. for providing services to comply with SB 1383 regulations, implementation, and recordkeeping, to enter into a two (2) year professional services agreement, and to establish a purchase order in the amount of Eighty Thousand Dollars for fiscal years 2023-2024 and 2024-2025.

BACKGROUND
In 2016, Senate Bill 1383 was signed into law to combat climate change and reduce landfill methane emissions. Methane is a climate super pollutant, 84 times more potent than carbon dioxide. Organic waste like food scraps, yard trimmings, paper, and cardboard currently make up 50% of what Californians dump in landfills and cause the release of methane gas into the atmosphere.

This law requires a significantly higher level of processing of organic material than the current standards. Processors are required to monitor, track, and ultimately limit the amount of organic material sent to landfills after processing. It requires additional processing and the development of new systems to remove contaminants and excess organic material that may have previously been sent to the landfill as residue.

Amongst the provisions of this Senate Bill (1383), jurisdictions must conduct comprehensive education and outreach programs on organic recycling, maintain the reduction of an organic waste implementation plan, prepare organic waste collection audits, and conduct performance-based source separation records.

In an effort to accomplish these goals, on March 19, 2024, the City of Compton City Council approved Resolution 25,994 to accept and appropriate funds from the CalRecycle

grant into the Municipal Water Department fiscal year 2024-2024 budget in the amount of One Hundred Twenty-Nine Thousand Two Hundred Twelve Dollars ($80,000 for consulting services and $49,000 for ancillary services).

STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
The City of Compton must implement the conditions set forth in Senate Bill 1383 – Climate Pollutant Reduction law. This law requires counties to take the lead collaborating with jurisdictions in planning for the necessary organic waste recycling and food recovery, and to divert organic waste from landfills to food recovery organizations and other recycling activities.

On February 7, 2024, the Compton Municipal Water Department released a Request for Proposal “SB 1383 REGULATIONS AND IMPLEMENTATION RECORD AND RECORDKEEPING” to provide collection and data entry into the Performance Based Model Implementation Record Tool to include:
 Ordinances and Enforceable Mechanisms
 Written Program Descriptions
 Organic Waste Service Collection
 Contamination Minimization including Route Reviews and Waste Evaluations  Waivers and Exemptions
 Education and Outreach
 Jurisdiction Oversight of Hauler Programs
 Edible Food Recovery
 Recovered Organic Waste Product Procurement
 Paper Procurement
 Inspection and Enforcement – for Tier 1 and Tier 2
 Compliance Reviews
 Investigation of Complaints and Alleged Violations
The Request for Proposal closed on February 21, 2024. The Municipal Water Department received one (1) response to the RFP from Mariposa Eco Consulting Inc.

Mariposa Eco Consulting has worked with the City in the past on several waste management projects:
 Assisted with the environmental and solid waste mandates and programming  Completed the CalRecycle Electronic Annual Report (EAR)  Prepared the Local Implementation Plan (LIP 2019-2022) Notice to Comply  Prepared the Compliance Review Report (CAP 2023/2024)  Prepared the 2023/2024 Capacity Plan.

The Municipal Water Department would like to offer Mariposa Eco Consulting, Inc. the contract to fulfill the provisions set forth in SB 1383.

FROM: CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON

INITIATING PROCEEDINGS FOR THE LEVY AND COLLECTION OF

ASSESSMENTS WITHIN THE COMPTON LIGHTING AND LANDSCAPE
DISTRICT NO. 1 FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024-2025 AND ORDERING THE PREPARATION OF AN ENGINEER’S REPORT PURSUANT TO THE
PROVISIONS OF PART 2 OF DIVISION 15 OF THE CALIFORNIA

STREETS AND HIGHWAYS CODE

SUMMARY
Adoption of this resolution will authorize the City Council of the City of Compton to initiate proceedings for the levy and collection of assessments within the Compton Lighting and Landscape District No. 1 for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 and ordering the preparation of an Engineer’s Report pursuant to the provisions of Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code.

BACKGROUND
To ensure a flow of funds for a portion of the ongoing maintenance and servicing of public lighting facilities, traffic signals, landscaping and parkway street maintenance within the boundaries of the City of Compton, the City Council previously formed a Citywide Landscape and Lighting District.

The City of Compton annually levies and collects special assessments in order to maintain the improvements that provide special benefit to properties within the Compton Landscape and Lighting District No.1. Assessments are levied annually for the District(s) pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code.

The Engineer’s Report describes the District, applicable changes to the District, including any annexations or substantial changes in the improvements, and the proposed assessments for the fiscal year commencing July 1, 2024 and ending June 30, 2025 (“2024-2025”). The assessments are based on the estimated cost to maintain the improvements that provide a special benefit to properties within the District and Zones.

Collection of Assessments within Lighting/Landscaping
District No. 1 for Fiscal Year 2024/2025
April 23, 2024 Page 2

STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
Annually, the City is required by statute to prepare and adopt Lighting and Landscape Assessments. Before the City prepares the assessments, it must adopt a resolution initiating the proceedings for the Lighting and Landscape District No.1.

Assessments levied within the City of Compton’s Lighting and Landscape District are used to pay for maintenance and servicing of the street lighting, traffic signals, and landscaping rehabilitation. These assessments are collected for the City by the County Tax Collector, and usually nets the City of Compton approximately $4,198,365 annually.

It is incumbent upon the City to undertake the 2024-2025 Lighting and Landscape Assessments in order to raise revenue to fund services for maintenance of landscaping, lighting and traffic signals. The revenues received from the assessment will be allocated within the Public Works Department budget to offset the costs for maintenance and infrastructure projects.

Therefore, in order to initiate proceedings for the levy and collection of assessments within the Compton Lighting and Landscape District No.1 for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 and ordering the preparation of an engineer’s report pursuant to the provisions of Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code, City Council’s authorization is necessary.

ALTERNATIVE
Given that the City is mandated per statue to perform this assessment, there is no alternative being proposed.

FISCAL IMPACT
The estimated $4,198,365 funds from this assessment will be allocated within the Public Works Department FY 2024-2025 budget.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the attached resolution.

I. INTRODUCTION
The City of Compton (“City”) annually levies and collects special assessments in order to maintain the improvements that provide special benefit to properties within the Compton Landscape and Lighting District No.1 (“District”). Assessments are levied annually for the District pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (the “1972 Act”).

The Engineer’s Report (“Report”) describes the District, applicable changes to the District, including any annexations or substantial changes in the improvements, and the proposed assessments for the fiscal year commencing July 1, 2024 and ending June 30, 2025 (“2024/2025”). The assessments are based on the historical and estimated cost to maintain the improvements that provide a special benefit to properties within the District and Zones, as described herein. The improvements within the District and the corresponding costs, including all expenditures, deficits, surpluses, revenues, and reserves, are assessed for each Zone.

For the purposes of this Report, the word “parcel” refers to an individual property assigned its own Assessment Number by the Los Angeles County Assessor’s Office. The Los Angeles County Auditor/Controller uses Assessment Numbers and specific Fund Numbers to identify properties assessed for special district benefit assessments on the tax roll.

Following consideration of all public comments and written protests at a noticed public hearing and review of the Engineer’s Report, the City Council may order amendments to the Report or confirm the Report as submitted. Following final approval of the Report and confirmation of the assessments, the Council may then order the levy and collection of assessments for fiscal year 2024/2025 pursuant to the 1972 Act. In such case, the assessment information will be submitted to the County Auditor/Controller and included on the property tax roll for each assessable parcel in fiscal year 2024/2025.

II. PROVISIONS OF THE 1972 ACT
The Method of Apportionment described for the District utilizes commonly accepted assessmentengineering practices and have been established pursuant to the 1972 Act in compliance with the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIIID.

1) The installation or planting of landscaping.
2) The installation or construction of statuary, fountains, and other ornamental structures and facilities.
3) The installation or construction of public lighting facilities, including, but not limited to streetlights and traffic signals.

IV. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
A. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE DISTRICT AND SERVICES
The District and assessments provide for the continued maintenance, servicing and operation of the improvements within the District boundaries. The District is divided into seven (7) distinct benefit Zones categorized by land use and the special benefit received from the improvements as outlined in Section IV B. It has been determined that the assessed parcels receive special benefits from the improvements. It is the opinion of the public works supervisors that, on a long-term basis, an equality of effort and expenditure is achieved throughout the District.
2024/2025 City of Compton – Landscape and Lighting District No. 1 Page 12 Parcels identified as being within the District share in both the cost and the benefits of the improvements. The costs associated with the improvements, are equitably spread between benefiting parcels within the District. Only parcels that receive benefit from the improvements are assessed, and each parcel is assessed in proportion to the estimated special benefit received. The funds collected from the assessments are dispersed and used for the maintenance, services and operation of the improvements provided within the District. Properties receive the following special benefits from the District improvements:

Adequate lighting on public streets and traffic signals to control the flow of traffic and pedestrians are considered important for their contribution to public convenience and safety. Protection of property and reduction of traffic accidents are specific benefits that properties realize within the District. The lighting benefit is directly related to safety and property protection and therefore increases the perceived and actual usability of residential, commercial and industrial properties. Placement of and the intensity of street lighting has received past and ongoing studies by the City officials and consultants with the intent of intensifying such lighting in the area from the curb to the property line and also the onsite level of lighting. Traffic signals contribute to the control of traffic, thereby providing a measure of safety and pedestrian and vehicular accessibility to residential, commercial and industrial properties. Community activities are increased when public infrastructure such as street lights and traffic signals are in place, improved, operable, safe and well maintained.

The maintenance of parkways, including landscaping and trees is of necessity, an ongoing and long-range activity. Properties within the District receive special benefit from the landscaping improvements through improved erosion resistance, dust and debris control, reduced vandalism, enhanced urban environment and improved aesthetic appeal of the properties. As a result of the age of the development of various areas, the level of deterioration within the City and in particular neighborhoods is different, requiring different types and levels of maintenance effort. The intent of the public works staff is to reduce complaints and problems while achieving an acceptable level of maintenance in all areas.

The ongoing attempt is to achieve clean, graffiti free streets while maintaining the newer areas and upgrading the older areas.

B. METHODOLOGY
The assessments and method of apportionment described in this Report utilizes commonly accepted assessment engineering practices and have been established pursuant to the 1972 Act. Any new or increased assessment will be subject to the substantive and procedural requirements of the Constitution, Article XIIID, Section 4.

Pursuant to the 1972 Act, the costs of the District may be apportioned by any formula or method that fairly distributes the net amount to be assessed among all assessable parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each parcel from the improvements. The benefit formula used should reflect the composition of the parcels, and the improvements and services provided, to fairly proportion the costs based on special benefit to each parcel.
2024/2025 City of Compton – Landscape and Lighting District No. 1 Page 13 To reflect the composition of the parcels the District has been divided into seven (7) distinct benefit Zones as follows:

ZONE DESCRIPTIONS
1 Residential
2 Commercial
3 Heavy Manufacturing
4 Limited Manufacturing
5 Gateway Town Center
6 Churches
7 Exempt
The methodology is based on the parcel’s land use and size compared to other parcels that are associated with the improvements. For example, an examination of the lighting pattern and lumens of light provided indicates that the lighting intensity in general is much greater in front of non-residential properties than in residential areas or residential properties. The additional lighting provides greater benefit to such non-residential properties because it provides additional protection from robberies and vandalism and provides an enhanced appearance and increased safety in access to potential customers.

In the Residential Zone, all the parcels in the District receive a basic similar special benefit from the improvements, due to their similarity in use and proximity to the improvements.

However with frontage a major factor in development and potential usage, adjusted front footage has been used as a measure of such development and use benefit.

In the Commercial Zones, the special benefit to each parcel is derived not only from the benefits to the property as described above, but also the enhancement of the property through the enhanced ability to attract clients, employees, and customers to the parcel.

The estimated cost of the improvements in a Commercial Zone has been divided among the parcels within the Zone according to the adjusted front footage of each parcel in the Zone.

The City of Compton has traditionally recognized the role of church and schools in the community; the contribution of churches and church schools in meeting educational, welfare and recreational needs of youth and others; the influence of churches in stabilizing the community and thereby reducing crime and other costs; the role of churches in meeting the nutritional and emotional needs of senior and low income persons; and has partially recognized the reduced costs which are experienced by the community by reason of the above services to society by assigning a reduced assessment rate for churches.

Public property owned by any public agency and in use in the performance of a public function, which is included within the boundary of the District, shall not be subject to the assessment. Other properties that are considered exempt from the assessments are those that receive little or no benefit from the improvements, have restricted development or provide substantially similar improvements, such as, common areas, flood control drainage, right-of-way and rivers.

The cost of the improvements has been apportioned to all assessable parcels within the District on an adjusted front footage basis. Table II in the District Budget section of this 2024/2025 City of Compton – Landscape and Lighting District No. 1 Page 14 Report shows the per lineal foot assessment within each of the seven (7) Zones based on the three improvement categories composed of lighting, landscape and traffic signals.

The Los Angeles County Assessor's maps were utilized to determine the front footage of each respective parcel within the District. Adjustments have been made to the frontage shown in the Assessor' maps for corner, odd shaped and interior (no street frontage) lots.

The criteria used to determine front footage is as follows:

LOT
TYPE

CRITERIA

1. Rectangular Lots Street frontage on a public street

2. Irregular Shaped
Lots
(a) Width of lot at set back line, or
(b) Average of front and rear lot line lengths, or
(c) Street frontage, whichever is most
representative of benefit

3. Flag Lots One-half of the lot width as measured on the rear lot line, which is parallel to the public street

4. Corner Lots
The narrowest frontage on a public street if
residential, average of both frontages if nonresidential

5. Interior Parcels Front footage and number of parcels

6. Condominiums Front footage and number of parcels
Other unusual or rarely occurring conditions shall be treated in accordance with the Landscape and Lighting District Procedures Manual or based on prior accepted procedures.

C. ASSESSMENT
Assessment is comprised of three categories: lighting, landscape and signals.

Assessment rate per front foot for each of the three categories are outlined in Table II of this report. As an example, for a residential parcel with front footage of 50 feet, total assessment amount is calculated as follows:
(50 * $0.935 [lighting assessment]) + (50 * $1.886 [landscape assessment]) + (50 * $0.244 [signals assessment]) = $153.25
2024/2025 City of Compton – Landscape and Lighting District No. 1 Page 15 V. DISTRICT BUDGETS
The 1972 Act provides that the estimated costs of the improvements shall include the total cost of the improvements for the fiscal year, incidental expenses, and may include reserves to operate the District until assessment collections are transmitted to the City from the County.

The 1972 Act also provides that the amount of any surplus, deficit, or contribution must be included in the estimated cost of improvements. The net amount to be assessed on the lots or parcels within the District is the total cost of installation, maintenance, and servicing with adjustments either positive or negative for reserves, surpluses, deficits, and/or contributions.

The estimated net amount to be assessed for fiscal year 2024/2025 is $4,198,364.78. Table III shows a summary of the total assessments per Zone for the three improvement categories of lighting, landscape and traffic signals. The rates of assessment are the same as the rates approved in fiscal year 2023/2024 and prior years.

A summary of the estimated costs for the District for fiscal year 2024/2025 is shown in Table I of this Section.

2024/2025 City of Compton – Landscape and Lighting District No. 1 Page 16 Cost Allocation Plan (“CAP”) - Summarizes a comprehensive analysis completed for the City of Compton, California (the “City”) to determine the appropriate allocation of costs from City central service departments to the departments that provide services directly to the community. The primary objective is to allocate costs from departments that provide services internally to operating departments that conduct the day-to-day operations necessary to serve the community. These internal service costs are those: (a) incurred for a common or joint purpose benefiting more than one cost objective, and (b) not readily assignable to the cost objectives specifically benefitted, without effort disproportionate to the results achieved. The term “indirect costs,” as used herein, applies to costs of this type originating in the central service departments. Typical central service departments include the City Manager and City Controller, whereas, typical operating departments include Fire, Public Works, and enterprise funds.

To ensure central service department costs are appropriately allocated to the operating departments, we analyzed and identified expenditures to determine which costs are allowable versus unallowable in accordance with Office of Management and Budget (OMB)-87 principles. Costs that are typically considered to be unallowable include, but are not limited to: General Advertising, Entertainment, Award Ceremonies, Capital Improvements, Bad Debt, Lobbying, Contingencies, Legislative Body (City Council), Debt Service, Promotional Items.

As such, unallowable costs were excluded from this CAP, including indirect costs associated with City Council (reflected as a negative number under allowable costs).

County Administration - The administrative cost to apply the assessments on the secure tax roll each fiscal year.

Consultants and Professional Services - The costs of contracting with professionals to provide services specific to the levy administration, including preparation of the Engineer’s Report, resolutions, and levy submittal to the County. These fees also include any additional administrative, legal, and engineering services specific to the District such as costs to prepare and mail notices of the Public Hearing.

Operational Reserves Collection – Reserve used for upfront maintenance expenses until county apportionment is received.

Reserve Fund Credit – Represents contributions or transfers of funds from the District reserve fund.

Unfunded Costs – Represents revenue from other sources such as the City of Compton General Fund.

Total Net Estimated Cost - Total direct cost plus total administrative costs less any transfers from the reserve fund or contributions from other revenue sources.

Total Parcels – The total number of parcels within the District.

Total Parcels Levied – The total number of parcels within the District that will receive special benefit and be assessed for the fiscal year.
2024/2025 City of Compton – Landscape and Lighting District No. 1 Page 17 Total Front Footage Levied – The total front footage of parcels within the District calculated according to the methodology detailed in this Report.

Assessment Amount – This is the total amount to be levied to the parcels within the District for the current fiscal year. The Balance to Levy represents the sum of the Total Direct and Administration Costs, plus any revenue adjustments resulting from the Reserve Fund, Beginning Balance, City Contributions, Other Revenue Sources, or Capital Improvement Fund. This dollar amount represents the total funds to be collected from the parcels through assessments on the property tax bills.

SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON

INITIATING PROCEEDINGS FOR THE LEVY AND COLLECTION OF

ASSESSMENTS WITHIN THE COMPTON SEWER SERVICE CHARGES
FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024-2025 AND ORDERING THE PREPARATION
OF AN ENGINEER’S REPORT PURSUANT TO THE MUNICIPAL
IMPROVEMENT ACT OF 1913, DIVISION 12 OF THE CALIFORNIA

STREETS AND HIGHWAYS CODE

SUMMARY
Adoption of this resolution will authorize the City Council of the City of Compton to initiate proceedings for the levy and collection of assessments within the Compton Sewer Service Charges for fiscal year 2024-2025 and ordering the preparation of an Engineer’s Report pursuant to the Municipal Improvement Act of 1913, Division 12 of the California Streets and Highways Code.

BACKGROUND
To ensure a flow of funds for operation of the sanitary sewer facilities, within the boundaries of the City of Compton, the City Council previously established a Sewer Service Charge.

The monies collected by the City for the charges are used for the maintenance of the existing sanitary sewer system and repayment of a portion of the sewer bonds previously issued for the reconstruction of the City's sewer system. The maintenance includes the repair or replacement of damaged sewer mains, manholes and appurtenant structures in order to maintain the system for the health, safety and welfare of the parcels charged within the City. All work is to be performed within public streets or rights-of-ways.

The Engineer’s Report for the City of Compton Sewer Service Charges has been prepared pursuant to the order of the City of Compton, in compliance with City Municipal Code and statutory requirements for the State of California. The Report covers Fiscal Year 2024-2025 beginning July 1, 2024 and ending June 30, 2025.

This resolution is to initiate proceedings for the levy and collection of assessments within the Compton Sewer Service Charges for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 and to order the preparation of an engineer’s report pursuant to the Municipal Improvement Act of 1913, Division 12 of the California Streets and Highways Code.

And Collection of Assessments within Sewer Service
Charges For Fiscal Year 2024-2025
April 23, 2024, Page 2

STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
Annually, the City is required by statute to prepare and adopt Sewer Service Charge Assessments. Before the City prepares the assessments, it must adopt a resolution initiating the proceedings for the Sewer Service Charges.

Assessments levied within the City of Compton’s Sewer Service Charges are used to pay for maintenance and servicing of the sewage system, and to pay for rehabilitation and debt service (bonds) of the sewer system. These assessments are collected for the City by the County Tax Collector, and usually nets the City of Compton approximately $913,506 annually.

It is incumbent upon the City to undertake the 2024-2025 Sewer Service Charge Assessments in order to raise revenue to fund services for sewer system maintenance, and to pay for the sewer debt service (bonds). The attached resolution initiates this process.

FISCAL IMPACT
These assessments are collected for the City by the County Tax Collector, and usually nets the City of Compton approximately $913,506 annually.

ALTERNATIVE
Staff does not have an alternative, given that the City does not have another mechanism by which to generate the necessary revenue services for the maintenance of drainage, and to pay for the sewer debt service (bonds).

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the attached resolution.

INTRODUCTION
To ensure a flow of funds for a portion of the ongoing maintenance and operation of the sanitary sewer facilities, within the boundaries of the City of Compton, the City Council has previously established a Sewer Service Charge.

On November 5, 1996, California voters approved Proposition 218. This Constitutional amendment was the latest in a series of initiatives altering the revenue-raising discretion of California local agencies. The provisions of the Proposition are set forth in California Constitutional Articles XIII C and XIII D.

As relevant to the City of Compton Sewer Service Charge, California Constitution Article XIII D, Sections 1 through 5, provide for additional substantive and procedural requirements, as outlined below.

Proposition 218 defines, “Assessments” as:
‘‘... any levy or charge by an agency upon real property that is based upon the special benefit conferred upon the real property… “Assessment” includes, but is not limited to, “special assessment,” “benefit assessment,” “maintenance assessment” and “special assessment tax.”
Article XIII D Section 2(e) of the Constitution of the State of California defines ‘‘Charges” as:
“…"charge" means any levy other than an ad valorem tax, a special tax, or an assessment, imposed by an agency upon a parcel or upon a person as an incident of property ownership, including a user fee or charge for a property related service.” Although District assessments and charges are generally collected on the property tax rolls, District “assessments” and “charges” are not “taxes.” Assessments and charges are distinct from the regular one percent (1%) property tax and property tax debt overrides in that assessment rates and charges are not levied on an ad valorem basis. The Sewer Service levy is considered a charge under Proposition 218.

Proposition 218 requires that beginning July 1, 1997, all new and existing assessments (with some exceptions) conform to new substantive and procedural requirements. However, certain assessments are exempted from the conformity requirement until they are increased. Generally, these exemptions include:
• Assessments used exclusively to fund sidewalks, streets, sewers, water, flood control, drainage systems, or vector control.
• Assessments used exclusively for bond repayments, the cessation of which would violate the Contract Impairment Clause of the U.S. Constitution. • Assessments previously approved by a majority of voters. • Assessments approved by all the property owners at the time the assessments were initially imposed.
2024/2025 City of Compton – Sewer Service Charge Page 2 The City Council has previously determined that the charges for the Sewer Service constitute a continuation of charges existing on the effective date of Article XIII D, that the assessments and charges were imposed exclusively to finance the maintenance and operation expenses for sewers and that the charges as they existed before July 1, 1997 are exempt from the requirements of Article XIII D, Section 4 of the California Constitution. In that the charges are used exclusively to fund sewers under the provision for exemption defined in Section 5(a) of the Article.

This Report for the City of Compton Sewer Service Charge (“Charge”) has been prepared pursuant to the order of the City of Compton, in compliance with City Municipal Code (“Code”) and statutory requirements for the State of California. The Report covers Fiscal Year 2024/2025 beginning July 1, 2024 and ending June 30, 2025.

II. IMPROVEMENTS
The monies collected by the City for the Charge are used for the maintenance of the existing sanitary sewer system and repayment of a portion of sewer bonds previously issued for the reconstruction of the City's sewer system. Maintenance includes the repair or replacement of damaged mains, manholes and appurtenant structures in order to maintain the system for the health, safety and welfare of the parcels charged within the City, all work to be performed within public streets or rights-of-way.

III. METHODOLOGY
The Charge is levied on the basis of historical water consumption data. Past studies have shown a high degree of correlation between water consumption and sewer discharge for a majority of the users within the area. As shown below, fees for the respective users have been divided into six (6) use zones (“Zones”). The Zones are identified as follows:

Zone Type of User Average Monthly Water Consumption
1 Residential & Small Commercial Less than 10,000 cu. ft. 2 Commercial & Industrial 10,000 to 25,000 cu. ft.
3 Commercial & Industrial 25,000 to 50,000 cu. ft.
4 Commercial & Industrial 50,000 to 75,000 cu. ft.
5 Commercial & Industrial More than 75,000 cu. ft.
6 Vacant lots, Septic Tank Users,
Public Property, Disabled Citizens &
Senior Citizens
Exempt
A flat fee for residential users has been utilized, while a sliding fee for commercial and industrial users was determined to be the most equitable for said users within the City of Compton. Zone 6 provides for exemptions from the Charge for vacant lots properties that have septic tanks, properties currently owned by senior or disabled citizens, and publicly owned properties.

Exemptions are applied upon receipt and filing of an application for such exemption with the City.

The City of Compton has historically recognized that senior citizens and the disabled have a water usage which is lower than other housing units and that the cost of such reduced usage services 2024/2025 City of Compton – Sewer Service Charge Page 3 are covered in the main part by general property taxes and other City revenues and not by direct application of the Sewer Service Charge.

The City of Compton Public Works Department has determined that the rate of sewer service charge for all the assessable parcels within the limits of the City of Compton for Fiscal Year 2024/2025 shall remain the same as Fiscal Year 2023/2024. The total estimated charged for sewer service for all parcels is $913,506. this charge can increase or decrease depending on Senior Exemptions applied in Fiscal Year 2024/2025.

In order to ensure timely and efficient collections of the sewer service charges, the City of Compton utilizes the Los Angeles County Assessor's office property tax billing system for collection of the sewer service charges. Upon receipt of the sewer service charges through the property tax billing system, the funds received by the Los Angeles County Assessor's office are forwarded to the City of Compton and are placed in a designated fund for exclusive use of the operation and maintenance of the sewer system of the City of Compton.

IV. DISTRICT BUDGET
The following describes the costs funded through the Charge and shown in the budget.

Maintenance Costs (Labor, Benefits, and Equipment) – Includes all labor, material and equipment required to properly maintain and service the sewer system by City staff and others.

All improvements within the District will be maintained and serviced on a regular basis. City staff will determine the frequency and specific maintenance operations required.

Debt Service – Pledged revenues under the Trust Agreement for the payment of Bonds issued for the reconstruction of the sewer system.

Administration – The cost of City department staff personnel involved in providing the coordination for maintenance and servicing, responding to public concerns and levying and collecting assessments. This includes, where appropriate, reimbursement for time spent by other City staff such as, Finance and Accounting, the City Attorney, the City Manager, City Council and the Public Works staff. The cost also includes contracts with professionals to provide additional engineering or administrative services specific to the District and County fees.

Reserve Fund Transfer/(Contributions) – Represents contributions or transfers of funds from the reserve fund.

Other Revenues/General Fund (Contributions) – Represents revenue from other sources such as the City of Compton General Fund.

Total Net Estimated Cost – Total direct cost plus total administrative costs and transfers from/to the rebate reserve fund or contributions from other revenue sources.

Total Parcels – The total number of parcels within the District.

Total Parcels Levied – The total number of parcels within the District that will be charged for the Fiscal Year.

Charge Amount – The total amount to be charged this Fiscal Year. 2024/2025 City of Compton – Sewer Service Charge Page 4 Cost Allocation Plan (“CAP”) - Summarizes a comprehensive analysis completed for the City of Compton, California (the “City”) to determine the appropriate allocation of costs from City central service departments to the departments that provide services directly to the community.

The primary objective is to allocate costs from departments that provide services internally to operating departments that conduct the day-to-day operations necessary to serve the community.

These internal service costs are those: (a) incurred for a common or joint purpose benefiting more than one cost objective, and (b) not readily assignable to the cost objectives specifically benefitted, without effort disproportionate to the results achieved. The term “indirect costs,” as used herein, applies to costs of this type originating in the central service departments. Typical central service departments include the City Manager and City Controller, whereas typical operating departments include Fire, Public Works, and enterprise funds.

To ensure central service department costs are appropriately allocated to the operating departments, we analyzed and identified expenditures to determine which costs are allowable versus unallowable in accordance with Office of Management and Budget (OMB)-87 principles.

Costs that are typically considered to be unallowable include, but are not limited to: General Advertising, Entertainment, Award Ceremonies, Capital Improvements, Bad Debt, Lobbying, Contingencies, Legislative Body (City Council), Debt Service, Promotional Items.

As such, unallowable costs were excluded from this CAP, including indirect costs associated with City Council (reflected as a negative number under allowable costs). 2024/2025 City of Compton – Sewer Service Charge Page 5 TABLE I – PROPOSED BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2024/2025

The proposed assessment amounts for Fiscal Year 2024/2025 for the Sewer Service Charge are sent under separate cover and hereby referenced to in this Report. Parcel identification, for each lot or parcel within the District shall be the Assessor Parcel Numbers as shown on the Los Angeles County Assessor's map for the year in which this Report is prepared.

The listing of parcels and the amount of assessment to be levied shall be submitted to the County Auditor/Controller and included on the property tax roll for each parcel in Fiscal Year 2024/2025.

If any parcel submitted for assessment is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an invalid parcel number or the parcel Land Use changes for the current Fiscal Year, a corrected parcel number and/or new parcel numbers will be identified and resubmitted to the County Auditor/Controller. The assessment/Charge amount to be levied and collected for the resubmitted parcel or parcels shall be based on the method of apportionment and assessment/Charge rates approved in this Report. Therefore, if a single parcel has changed to multiple parcels, the assessment amount applied to each of the new parcels shall be recalculated and applied according to the approved method of apportionment and assessment rate rather than a proportionate share of the original assessment. Similarly, if a parcel Land Use changes, the assessment/charge amount applied shall be recalculated and applied according to the approved method of apportionment and assessment rates.

DIRECTOR OF RECREATION
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON

ACCEPTING THE BID OF AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER

TO ENTER INTO A LEAK REPAIR CONTRACT WITH COUNTY LEAK

SERVICES AND ESTABLISH A PURCHASE ORDER FOR ONE
HUNDRED AND ONE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS, ($101,
500) FOR REPAIRS NEEDED AT THE CITY POOL AT LUEDERS PARK.

SUMMARY
Adoption of this resolution will authorize the City Manager to enter into an aquatic facility repair contract with, and establish a purchase order in the amount of One Hundred One Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($101,500) for County Leak Services for specified leak repair services to the pool Lueders Park.

BACKGROUND
The City of Compton’s Recreation Department provides comprehensive aquatics programming that meet the needs of the community through highly accessible, enjoyable and varied opportunities for learning and recreation. The City has a commercial swimming pool at the Lueders Park Aquatic Center, built in 1972, which has a lap pool. The pool has significant damage and requires leak repair services to help prolong the life of the pool. The City is seeking aquatic facility repair services

STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The Recreation Department does not employ personnel with the skills or qualifications to make the needed repairs; thus, on December 28, 2023 staff released a bid/estimate request for this project to secure a qualified contractor for leak detection and repair.

In response to the bid/estimate request, the Recreation Department received a total of two (2) responses and no response from a 3rd vendor.

VENDOR BID AMOUNT

1. County Leak Services $8500 for Leak Detection, $101,500.00 for Repairs

2. Water Savers Declined the project

3. Certified Pool Inspection No Response

12. Staff Report – Lueders Park Pool
County Leak Services – Aquatic Facility Leak Repair Services April 23, 2024 Page 2
The proposals were evaluated by City staff and the Parks & Recreation Department. At the conclusion of the evaluation, it was determined County Leak Services, Inc. has met all the requirements and contract provisions stipulated and determined to be the most responsive bidder and in the best interest of the City.

The need to repair the leak is at an emergency level. The pool is losing gallons of chemically treated water every hour. The composition of the water presents a possible health and safety treat. Due to this status, the Recreation Department is seeking an exception to the bidding process through the following policy:
§ 4-11.7 Exceptions to Competitive Bidding Requirements.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 1409 of the City Charter, state or federal law, the competitive bidding requirements of this section shall not apply in the following circumstances:
a. Where an emergency is deemed to exist and it is determined that supplies, materials, equipment or services involving the public health, safety or welfare would be interrupted if the normal procedures were followed, provided that all emergency purchases which would otherwise require bidding procedures made pursuant to this section shall be submitted to the Council for ratification, if required, at the next regular Council meeting after the purchase and/or services are authorized.
b. Where competition is determined to be inadequate or nonexistent; such as membership in professional organizations, attendance at meetings or conventions, travel, and when it is determined that only one vendor is qualified to do the work or provide the product. Use of this exception shall be justified and documented.

FISCAL IMPACT
Measure A is the Los Angeles County Safe, Clean Neighborhood Parks and Beaches Measure of 2016. The Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space District is responsible for the administrative duties and implementation of this Measure.

The City of Compton has been awarded a County grant to repair and improve the aquatic center at Lueders Park. Currently the aquatic center at Lueders park requires emergency repairs. County Leak Services conducted a leak detection test and has provided reports on the results of the test. Repair estimates total $101,500.

FROM: MUNICIPAL WATER DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON

AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO AMEND THE CURRENT

AGREEMENT WITH THE CINTAS CORPORATION TO ADD

ADDITIONAL FUNDS FOR THE PURPOSE OF PROVIDING UNIFORM

RENTAL, LAUNDRY SERVICES AND PERSONAL PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT (PPE) FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024-2025 IN THE AMOUNT OF FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($50,000)

SUMMARY
Adoption of this resolution will authorize the City Manager to amend the current Agreement with the Cintas Corporation to add additional funds for the purpose of providing uniform rental, laundry services and personal protective equipment (PPE) for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 in the amount of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000).

BACKGROUND
The Compton Municipal Water Department (“Department”) is responsible for overseeing the City’s utility services. The Water Operations and Production Divisions are responsible for constructing, inspecting, maintaining and repairing the City’s water mains, gate valves, fire hydrants, and water services to provide adequate potable water to citizens and businesses of Compton.

The Water Operations and Production Division has nine (9) job classifications, which contain twenty-eight (28) positions that are required to wear City issued uniforms to execute their daily tasks. In order to maintain an appropriate level of uniformity and professionalism, the Department provides weekly uniform rental and laundry services for those employees who are required to wear a uniform.

The City Council approved Resolution 25,758, which authorized the City Manager to enter into a three-year Service Agreement (Fiscal Years 2022-2023, 2023-2024 and 2024- 2025) in the amount of Eight Thousand Eight Hundred Sixty-One Dollars and Eighty-four Cents ($8,861.84) per fiscal year with Cintas Corporation for the purpose of providing uniform rental and laundry services for twenty-one (21) Water Department positions.

STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
In December 13, 2022, the City Council approved Resolution 25,758, that authorized the City Manager to enter into a three-year Service Agreement (Fiscal Years 2022-2023,

13. Staff Report Amending Cintas Corporation Agreement
April 23, 2024
2 2023-2024 and 2024-2025) in the amount of Eight Thousand Eight Hundred Sixty-One Dollars and Eighty-Four cents ($8,861.84) per fiscal year with Cintas Corporation for the purpose of providing uniform rental and laundry services for Water Department employees required to wear a City issued uniforms. At the time the contract was proposed, the number of positions budgeted in the Compton Municipal Water Department required to wear City issued uniforms was twenty-one (21) positions.

Upon the adoption of the City’s 2023-2024 Fiscal Year Budget, the number of Water Department employees required to wear City issued uniforms increased from twenty-one (21) positions to twenty-eight (28) positions. This increase in staffing, resulted in a contractual deficit and affected the need to increase funding in the Cintas Corporation Agreement.

In addition, the Department has identified an urgent need to provide Water Department employees with standard PPE (personal protective equipment) and some employees, who may face the risk of momentary electric hazards as part of their normal work environment, ARC rated (Arc flash is a type of electrical explosion or discharge that results from a connection through air to ground or another voltage phase in an electrical system) PPE in accordance to OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) guidelines.

OSHA requires employers to ensure the greatest possible protection for employees in the workplace, the cooperative efforts of both employers and employees will help in establishing and maintaining a safe and healthful work environment:
 Employers shall perform “hazard assessment” of the workplace to identify and control physical and health hazards.
 Identify and provide appropriate and adequate PPE for employees.  Train employees in the use and care of PPE.
 Maintain PPE, including replacing worn or damaged PPE.  Periodic review, update and evaluation of the PPE Program.

The personal protective gear the Water Department is proposing to purchase may include, but is not limited to, rubber gloves that protect from high voltage, protective eyewear and water repellant coveralls.

The Department is requesting to increase funding in the amount of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) to the current Cintas Corporation contract to cover the additional positions listed in the Water Department 2023-2024 Fiscal Year Budget, and to cover standard and ARC rated personal protective equipment (PPE) for Fiscal Year 2024-2025.

FISCAL IMPACT
The current contract with the Cintas Corporation is currently Eight Thousand Eight Hundred Sixty-One Dollars and Eight four dollars per fiscal year (2022-2023, 2023-2024, and 2024-2025). In order to purchase standard and ARC PPE (personal protective Staff Report Amending Cintas Corporation Agreement

Funds in the amount of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,0000) are anticipated to be allocated to the following account in the City’s Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Adopted Budget:

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council adopt the attached Resolution, which authorizes the City Manager to amend the current Agreement with Cintas Corporation to add additional funds for the purpose of providing uniform rental, laundry services for seven (7) additional employees and the purchase of standard and ARC rated personal protective equipment (PPE) for Water Department employees for fiscal year 2024-2025.
