Other Officials Present: E. Perrodin, S. Zurita, B. Mims, W. Hopkins Other Officials Absent: None
PUBLIC COMMENTS ON AGENDA ITEMS AND NON-AGENDA MATTERS
Maria Villarreal requested the services of a Spanish interpreter.
City Manager Hopkins informed Ms. Villareal that English speakers do not need Spanish interpreters.
Bishop Guillory addressed the accusations made against a Public Safety Commissioner. He maintained that the Public Safety Commission has never made any decisions based upon nationality, race, or religion. He insisted that any racial comments made by a commissioner regarding illegal immigration would have been flagged. He warned individuals against infringing upon the First Amendment rights of other people and concluded by stating that if an investigation is requested, one should be prepared for scrutiny.
Marjorie Shipp voiced her appreciation for the clean-up of two lots in her neighborhood and thanked Councilmember Darden for keeping her informed. She recognized the maintenance department for the Christmas lights on Compton Boulevard in December and raised concerns about permit parking and potholes in Richmond Farms. She commented that the Black History Month celebration was well-attended but believed the Compton 125 art exhibit was isolated this year.
Mister Pukka expressed concerns about street takeovers happening in his neighborhood, particularly after an incident where someone doing donuts crashed in his front yard. He mentioned having video evidence and the license plate of the individual involved. He sought suggestions on how residents could deter these activities and highlighted issues with police response to gunshots and loud parties. Additionally, he raised a personal issue regarding a hazardous liability on his property that has not been addressed for a month and a half, despite being deemed against code by code enforcement.
Miller Martin supported Mister Pukka's concerns and emphasized the need for a more responsive Sheriff's Department. He urged Councilmember Duhart and the City Council to ensure increased patrols in his neighborhood to protect residents, especially senior citizens who feel vulnerable. He mentioned his involvement in building an online radio station in Compton and his hope to attract upscale individuals to the area. He pointed out that Compton had the potential to become more appealing to businesses and events, citing the transformation of Inglewood as an example. He encouraged the City Council to seize opportunities to promote Compton and expressed his intention to invite them to his facility for an interview in the near future.
Paul Perrodin expressed his frustration with the reduced time for public comments during meetings and suggested that three minutes be the minimum. He referenced Councilmember Bowers' comment about the City Attorney's Office being problematic for 30 years and questioned whether past attorneys were being unfairly criticized.
5. 2
Missy Barbara raised concerns about the condition of fire hydrants, specifically mentioning one near her home that has not been serviced in over 20 years. She also requested an update on the remodeling of the Council Chambers and inquired about the status of the old 99 Cent Store building on Alondra. Additionally, she called for more barricades on Central and Rosecrans to address street takeovers. Lastly, she suggested that each nonprofit be charged $3.02 per square foot and pointed out the need for Mayor Sharif and Councilmember Spicer to recuse themselves from voting on certain items.
Vanessa Cain expressed her agreement with Missy regarding the fees for nonprofits, stating that they can afford the proposed charge of $3.02 per square foot. She pointed out that fees in Los Angeles are considerably higher and emphasized the need to address the City's financial situation.
She called for hard decisions to be made to bring that money back into the budget, highlighting that it was taxpayers' money and that salaries were being paid without sufficient justification for the expenditures.
Lynn Boone followed up on concerns about the City Attorney’s Office and the decision to move Mr. Perrodin. She stated that Councilmember Darden appeared to be uninformed about the situation, implying that not all council members were involved in the decision. She communicated the importance of adhering to the City Charter and asserted that the City thrived under former Mayor Omar Bradley’s leadership. She criticized the current City Manager, suggesting that while initially appearing to support the City Charter, he was instead manipulating it to consolidate control over departments. She raised concerns about financial management and questioned expenditures like the sign outside the Council Chambers and unresolved financial issues.
Fidel Marquez congratulated the Dominguez High School Soccer Team for becoming CIF champions. He raised concerns about a recent incident in his neighborhood involving a man found on a neighbor's lawn and subsequently vandalized a car. He stated that despite calls to the Sheriff's Department, they responded but did not take action. He emphasized the need for a safety plan, especially for the seniors in his community. He also addressed potential violations to the City Charter and the Brown Act with regard to a commissioner seeking a building at a special rate. He warned the Council that proceeding with such a vote could expose the City to legal risks.
Craig Henry, Volunteers of America, expressed a concern for the proposed fee increase for nonprofits leasing city-owned spaces. He stated that he had no problem with the $3.02 per square foot fee itself, but he objected to the 50.7% increase. He highlighted his affiliation with Volunteers of America and cited the need for a gradual increase in fees rather than a sudden hike that could strain budgets.
Galen Tigard, Adult & Teen Librarian at the Compton library, announced that all LA County libraries will be closed for a staff development day on Thursday. She highlighted various events, including a macramé friendship bracelet program, Cesar Chavez celebrations, and a Scottish bagpipes culture event. She also mentioned a watercolor painting class for Women’s History Month and a free Narcan clinic available every Wednesday.
Billion Godsun, Africa Town Coalition and the Coalition for a Just and Equitable California, addressed the City Council regarding the blocking of two significant reparations bills by members of the California Legislative Black Caucus last August. He urged the Council to prioritize a black agenda over a Democratic agenda, particularly in Compton. He emphasized the need for Assembly Bill 1315 and criticized the language in the bills put forth by the Black Caucus.
Devin Kincaid, Republic Services General Manager, reported on the company's efforts to address community concerns, particularly regarding vehicle age and rentals. He announced that Republic had provided the City with two new vehicles and was prototyping an electric garbage truck, which they planned to gift to Compton. He proposed hosting a "Touch a Truck" event to engage the community with the new equipment. He also paid tribute to David Espinoza, a former sustainability advisor for the city who had recently passed away. 3 Celeste Flores-Villarreal, speaking on behalf of her mother Maria Villarreal, highlighted an incident in which a public safety commissioner publicly reprimanded her mother for exercising her constitutional right to free speech. She recounted this individual’s threats against her mother's employment and expressed a concern for her safety.

BETWEEN THE CITY OF COMPTON AND SHIELDS FOR FAMILIES TO PROVIDE SPACE AT THE NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER (600 NORTH ALAMEDA STREET) Councilmember Darden stated that the lease in question expired on July 31, 2022. She emphasized that the City cannot afford to lease city-owned spaces at a rate lower than $3.02 per square foot. She also noted that the leased space is increasing from 5,808 square feet to 6,058 square feet and inquired if any comparisons had been made with surrounding cities.
City Manager Hopkins confirmed that the City’s charges are in line with those of other cities.
Councilmember Duhart asked the City Manager to clarify the rate being discussed.
City Manager Hopkins reported that about a year prior, the City modified lease agreements to address subsidization issues, where utilities and other costs were being covered by the City.
Councilmember Darden added that typically, the City charges $0.50 per square foot for outdoor space, but in this lease agreement, they are only charging for indoor space.
Councilmember Duhart emphasized the importance of consistency in lease agreements, noting that CHIRLA is already paying $3.02 per square foot.
Mayor Sharif echoed Councilmember Duhart's sentiment and added that fairness is crucial.

NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY
Draft Programmatic Environmental Assessment for Electric Vehicle Charge Facilities at Multiple Air Force Bases
Pursuant to the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the U.S. Department of the Air Force (DAF) announces the preparation and availability of a Draft Programmatic Environmental Assessment (PEA) for the implementation of the Electric Vehicle Charge Facilities (EVCF) Program at multiple Air Force bases (AFBs).
The PEA evaluates the following alternatives:
1. Taking no action, where DAF would not implement the EVCF Program.
2. Installation of EV Charging Stations at select sites within the following AFBs: Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) in Washington D.C., Joint Base Andrews (JBA) in Maryland, Joint Base McGuire Dix Lakehurst (JBMDL) in New Jersey, Los Angeles AFB (LAAFB) in California, Tyndall AFB (TAFB) in Florida, and the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) in Colorado.
The purpose of the Proposed Action is to provide AFBs with electric vehicle (EV) charging stations to enable on-base EV usage and charging for government-owned vehicles. The Proposed Action is needed to increase the number of EV charging stations on AFBs for creating the necessary infrastructure to expand EV usage, which would minimize carbon emissions in the long-run and help DAF meet White House goals for EV usage under Executive Order (EO) 14008, Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad, and EO 14057, Catalyzing Clean Energy Industries and Jobs Through Federal Sustainability.
The PEA assesses the potential impacts associated within EVCF Program implementation and provides the DAF meaningful points in agency planning and decision making on the relevant environmental information of the EVCF Program. Once a decision is made to implement at a particular installation, the DAF would conduct follow-on site-specific environmental analysis tiering from the PEA document using the Checklist in Appendix A of the PEA.
This Notice of Availability (NOA) starts a 45-day public comment period. A copy of the Draft PEA is available online through the Air Force Civil Engineer Center’s National Environmental Policy Act Center website: https://www. afcec.af.mil/Home/Environment/National-Environmental-Policy-ActCenter/. An electronic copy may also be requested by emailing Mr. Nicolas Post ([email protected]). Any substantive comments received will be addressed in the Final PEA. Comments must be received by December 23, 2023 and sent to the following mailing address or email address:

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Everywhere
you looked, every place you turned, everything you heard, and all you could imagine Tuesday, was all about Shohei
Ohtani.
Ohtani was nowhere in sight. His
agent, Nez Balelo, wasn’t available. And
his former Los Angeles Angels boss,
Perry Minasian, was talking only in generalities.
Makes no difference.
The Ohtani free agent sweepstakes is
the epicenter of the MLB general manager meetings at the Omni Resort where an entire industry anxiously awaits the
outcome.
“We all involve ourselves and our
profession around this game,” said Erik
Neander, Tampa Bay Rays president of
baseball operations, “because we love
it. We love talent. We love stories. And
certainly, he’s as fascinating a talent as
we’ve all seen in our generation.
“Across the game, this is as anticipated a decision as we’ve had in our sport.
This is certainly as captivating one to
many, even for people that aren’t baseball fans. I think it’s great for our game.” Ohtani, who will be honored next
week with his second American League
MVP award in three years, is the sport’s
greatest two-way athlete in history,
even eclipsing Babe Ruth. He had his
second elbow surgery in five years on
Sept. 19 and won’t be able to pitch again
until at least 2025, if not later – but no
matter. There’s not a team in baseball
that doesn’t covet him. Even with a price
tag that will exceed $400 million, he’s
expected to receive the most seven-figure contract offers in baseball history.
Traditionally when a marquee free
agent hits the open market, he’ll get two,
perhaps three legitimate offers. Aaron
Judge got offers from only the New York
Yankees, San Francisco Giants and San
Diego Padres last winter. Bryce Harper’s
market consisted of the Philadelphia
Phillies, Los Angeles Dodgers and Giants. Manny Machado had offers from the Padres and Chicago White Sox.
“I’ve had a few big-name players, and
many times it’s just team bidding
against themselves,” one veteran agent
said. “You just don’t have many teams
willing to make that kind of commitment.”
This time is different.
Ohtani could have as many as 10
teams making legitimate offers and perhaps as many as 20 that will tell their fan base they were in on him, too.
Simply put, he’s the holy grail of free
agency in the sports world.
“Just as an industry and fan perspective,” Cleveland Guardians GM Mike Chernoff said, “he’s the most interesting
story in baseball right now. He’s just
such a unique talent. I’m trying to think
of what guys have had this sort of
unique attributes over the years, and I
can’t think of any.
“He just brings a whole different dynamic just because he’s a two-way player thing. I can’t even imagine how that will be valued on the market. I have no
idea how it will play out.”
There will be big markets and midsized markets involved. Teams from San Diego to Toronto to Texas to New
York to Chicago will be in the bidding.
The only thing guaranteed, GMs say, is
that there will be a mystery team, a finalist in the sweepstakes that no one saw coming.
It could be as shocking as the 2000
winter meetings when the Rangers
signed Alex Rodriguez to a record 10-
year, $252 million contract, the richest
in sports, easily beating out the Seattle
Mariners and Atlanta.
“No one knows where he’s going to
end up,” Houston Astros GM Dana
Brown said, “and I think that’s exciting
for the game. You just don’t know what’s
going to happen. I think there may be a
wild-card team out there that’s going to
surface. These teams can just come out
of nowhere.
“It’s so unpredictable. I mean, like
honestly, I didn’t even consider the Cubs
for (Craig) Counsell. I wasn’t even thinking about that. I’m thinking maybe the Mets or he goes back to Milwaukee, and
then all of a sudden it’s the Chicago
Cubs.
“Where these things land is really difficult to predict. In free agency, it’s got to be the perfect city, the perfect match
and a revenue city that can actually afford him. Only the good Lord knows where he ends up.”
Minasian wishes he could wave a
magic wand and bring him back. The
Angels never reached the postseason
during his six years with the team, but
he has been the most electrifying player
in the game, hitting a league-leading 44
homers with 95 RBI, 20 stolen bases and
a career-high 1.066 OPS in 2023 despite
missing most of September. On the
mound, he went 25-14 with a 2.69 ERA,
striking out 386 batters in 298 innings
the past two years.
Where else can you find a legitimate
ace and one of the game’s premier power hitters in one package? “I don’t think the world quite appreciates how hard or challenging this is relative to any other athlete in sports,” said Derek Falvey, Minnesota Twins president of baseball operations. “It’s like there’s no quarterback in the NFL also
playing free safety at a high level. It’s
just very unique. So, I appreciate it just
as a fan of baseball.”
Said Brown: “He’s actually getting
the American kids to start thinking
about, hey, I can pitch and hit. Remember when guys were drafted they had to choose? Now guys will get an opportunity to say I want to do both.” The Angels may be flawed, but they
know they’re a whole lot better with Ohtani than without him and truly believe they have a genuine chance to keep him.
If they wanted to trade him last summer, they could have received at least three top-10 prospects from any contender. Several teams were willing to offer their best and more.
Angels owner Arte Moreno also knew
that if he traded Ohtani, he wasn’t getting him back. Once Ohtani walked out the door, he was gone forever.
So now they’ll take their chances and
compete with the big boys. The Dodgers
remain the heavy favorites. The Cubs
and Rangers are serious contenders,
with several GMs saying the Cubs may
be the most aggressive team for his services. And it would be foolish to count out the Red Sox, the Mets or even the Giants.
“Great player, I think there’s going to
be a lot of attention on it,” Minasian
said. “And I understand why. We’ll see
how the offseason develops. We’ve got
our plan, and we’re going to try and execute that plan and we’ll see where everything goes.” The Angels aren’t promising a playoff
berth with Ohtani, just like the Rangers
didn’t when they recruited Corey Seager, Marcus Semien and Jacob deGrom, either.
Yet in a baseball world where this
year’s World Series teams lost 110 and
102 games just two years ago, anything
can happen.
“I think this is a very desirable place
to play,” Minasian said. “It’s in a great
part of the country. We have an outstanding fan base. The players that have played here since I’ve been here have
been really, really positive with their experiences. So, with anybody on the market, I think we have a chance.” For all those who don’t believe Ohtani
has any interest in returning, Minasian
doesn’t blink. The Angels signed Mike
Trout to a 10-year, $360 million contract
when folks thought he preferred to one
day to play in Philadelphia or New York.
They outbid the Miami Marlins and Cincinnati Reds for Albert Pujols in 2011.
They persuaded Anthony Rendon to
come their way in 2019.
Many of those decisions may have
backfired, but it proved that Moreno
loves his stars, and he has not backed
away from shelling out money, even if it
means flying past the $237 million luxury tax threshold in 2024. “I wouldn’t put anything past,” Minasian said. “I think it’s something that for the right opportunities, ownership is all
about winning. … We’ll do what we can
to make the team as good as we can.”
So, buckle up, lock the doors, and
brace yourself for a seismic impact once
Ohtani makes the decision heard ’round
the baseball world.
“It’s probably the most focused on
free agent moment that I can remember,” Falvey said. “We’ll see how it shakes out.
“Just stay out of the (AL) Central.
That’s all I care about.”
GMs brace for Ohtani’s momentous decision
In six seasons with the Angels, Shohei Ohtani hit 171 homers, with 437 RBI and a .274 batting average, and was 38-19 as a pitcher. D. ROSS CAMERON/USA TODAY SPORTS Bob Nightengale

CERTIFICATIONS AND SUBMIT THE PHA FIVE-YEAR
ADMINISTRATIVE AND 2025 ANNUAL PLANS
SUMMARY
By mandate of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Housing Authorities nationwide are required to develop and implement both Five-Year Administrative Plans and Annual Plans. Currently, the PHA is in its fifth year, necessitating the development of the Five-Year Administrative Plan. The Annual Plan provides an update on details about the PHA’s immediate operations, programs and services and notifies HUD of changes that were not included in the Five-Year Administrative Plan.
The Housing Authority recommends that the City Council approve the PHA Five-Year Administrative and 2025 Annual Plans, authorize the City Manager to sign the PHA Plan Certifications and adopt a resolution approving submission of the PHA Five-Year Administrative and 2025 Annual Plans.
BACKGROUND
As required by Section 511 of the Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 1988, staff has prepared the PHA Five-Year Administrative and 2025 Annual Plans for submittal to HUD.
The PHA Plans advise HUD, Section 8 participants and the public about the PHA’s mission, goals, objectives, policies, programs, and operations for serving the needs of low-income and very low-income families. These plans also outline the strategies employed to address those needs. The Annual Plan offers specific details about the PHA’s current operations, programs, and services, while informing HUD of any changes made. Additionally, it keeps HUD, residents, and the public updated on the PHA’s mission and strategic approach to supporting low-income and very low-income families.
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
7. Staff Report – Resolution Authorizing Approval of the PHA Five-Year Administrative and 2025 Annual Plans
April 8, 2025
Federal regulations require that a Resident Advisory Board (RAB) participate in the planning process and assist and make recommendations regarding the PHA Plan. PHAs are required to consider the RAB’s recommendations to the Plan, but are not required to agree with them. The RAB was asked to submit recommendations and comments regarding the draft PHA Plan. However, there were no recommendations made by the RAB on the PHA Plan.
PHAs are mandated to hold a Public Hearing. On April 1, 2025, a Joint Public Hearing was conducted. HUD regulations require approval of the Plans by the governing body of the PHA which is the Urban Community Development Commission (UCDC). The draft Plan has been made accessible for public review at both the City Clerk's Office and the Compton Housing Authority. Additionally, the City is obligated to consider any written comments received, as well as feedback provided during the Public Hearing.
ALTERNATIVE
Do not approve one or both of the PHA Plans and direct staff on how to proceed.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact on the General Fund or the Compton Housing Authority fund with the adoption of the Housing Authority’s PHA Annual Plan. The Housing Authority is funded exclusively with federal resources provided by HUD.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve the PHA Five-Year Administrative Plan and the 2025 Annual Plan as presented. Additionally, it is recommended to authorize the City Manager to execute the PHA Plan Certifications and to adopt a resolution approving the submission of these Plans to HUD for final approval.

c. Provide complete schedules for the season prior to the first day of games. Grantee is required to use the LeagueApps platform.
d. Ensure that all excess uniform sets and coach polos are returned to LADF within 15 days of the Grantee’s final game.
e. Complete an equipment inventory sheet within 15 days of the league’s last games. f. To receive 100% of the grant amount, partners must reach at least 90% of approved preseason player projections evidenced in the LeagueApps platform 15 days after the final game. For any variance greater than 10%, the grant will be reduced by the equivalent amount. Please note this reduction will not include the Dodgers Dreamteam Coordinator funds.

During the performance of this Contract, the Coordinator agrees not to discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, sex, creed, color, religion, age, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, political affiliation, handicap or belief in accordance with requirements of City, State or Federal laws and regulations. The Coordinator will take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed and that employees are treated during employment without regard to their race, sex, creed, color, religion, age, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, political affiliation, handicap or belief. Such action shall include, but not be limited to, the following: employment, upgrading, demotion or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoffs or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation and selection for training, including apprenticeship.

Neither the City nor any of its officers, employees, agents or volunteers shall have any control over the conduct of the Coordinator, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Coordinator expressly warrants that while engaged in carrying out and complying with any terms and conditions of this Agreement that Coordinator shall not at any time or in any manner, represent that Coordinator is in any manner officers, employees, agents or volunteers of the City.

If Coordinator subcontracts any of the services, Coordinator will be fully responsible to City for the acts, errors and omissions of Coordinator's sub Coordinator and of the persons either directly or indirectly employed by the sub Coordinator, as Coordinator is for the acts and omissions of persons directly employed by Coordinator.

13.2 If the Coordinator persistently or repeatedly refuses or fails, except in cases for which extensions of time are provided, to supply enough properly skilled workers, property or material, or if he fails to make prompt payment to sub Coordinators or for materials or labor, or he persistently disregards laws, ordinances, rules, regulations or orders of any public authority having jurisdiction, then, the City may, without prejudice to any other right or remedy and after giving the Coordinator five (5) days written notice, terminate this Agreement.

SUMMARY
Staff is requesting City Council to schedule a public hearing to establish an Underground Utility District in accordance with Southern California Edison’s Rule 20A, Section 5896.8 of the California Streets and Highways Code and the Compton Municipal Code Section 26-4.
BACKGROUND
Southern California Edison’s Rule 20A program provides for the conversion of overhead electrical and telecommunication facilities to underground systems in designated areas where such conversion is determined to be in the public interest. Pursuant to Section 5896.8 of the California Streets and Highways Code and the Compton Municipal Code Section 26-4, the City Council has the authority to establish an Underground Utility District by resolution following a duly noticed public hearing.
The City of Compton has identified Myrrh Street (from Oleander Avenue to Acacia Avenue) and Acacia Avenue (from Myrrh Street to Alondra Boulevard) as a priority location for undergrounding utilities due to safety concerns, aesthetic improvements, and alignment with the city planning goals. This area has been selected based on high pedestrian activity, visual enhancement goals, and traffic concerns.
In accordance with applicable legal requirements, affected property owners and utility providers will be notified of the public hearing. This hearing will provide an opportunity for stakeholders to present their comments and concerns regarding the proposed district.
Approval of this request will allow the City to move forward with the process of establishing an Underground Utility District in accordance with state and local regulations. Staff will proceed with public notifications and coordinate with Southern California Edison and other relevant utility agencies to facilitate the hearing process.

RE: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON
AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO SUSPEND THE ISSUANCE
OF FIREWORKS PERMITS
SUMMARY
The City Council will consider adopting a resolution authorizing the City Manager to suspend the issuance of fireworks permits.
BACKGROUND
The suspension of fireworks permits is recommended due to heightened public safety concerns, increased fire risks, and significant community complaints. Recent trends indicate a rise in unpermitted and unsafe fireworks usage, which has strained emergency response resources and contributed to an uptick in fire-related incidents and noise-related disturbances, particularly affecting veterans, pets and vulnerable populations.
Additionally, in light of the recent wild fires in the region, which caused widespread damage and highlighted the vulnerability of local neighborhoods to fire, it is in the City’s best interest to take precautionary action. Suspending permits allows the City to better protect residents, property and the environment.
The City is exploring alternative, safer celebrations and community education regarding the dangers associated with fireworks.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
Due to ongoing public safety concerns, the increasing frequency and severity of wildfires, and heightened fire risk the City is considering the suspension of fireworks permits. This action is intended to protect life and property, reduce strain on emergency response resources, and support long-term efforts to enhance community safety and environmental protection.
The City Council, as the governing body of the City of Compton, is authorized to provide for the health, safety and welfare of persons and property within its boundaries. The attached Resolution would impose a suspension on the issuance of any and all permits for the sale of fireworks within the City.

ASSESSMENTS WITHIN THE COMPTON LIGHTING AND LANDSCAPE
DISTRICT NO. 1 FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025-2026 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 2025-2026 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 and for the maintenance and operation of the sanitary sewer facilities, 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, 2025 and ending June 30, 2026 (“2025-2026”). 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 2025/2026
April 8, 2025 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 $4,199,287 annually.
It is incumbent upon the City to undertake the 2025-2026 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 2025-2026 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 $4,199,287 funds from this assessment will be allocated within the Public Works Department FY 2025-2026 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”).

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 2025/2026 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 2025/2026.

The plans and specifications for the operation, maintenance and servicing of the landscaping are on file in the office of the City Clerk, the City Engineer and the various service departments where they are available for public inspection. The plans and specifications are voluminous and are not bound in this Report but by this reference are incorporated herein and made a part of this Report.
C. 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.
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 2025/2026 City of Compton – Landscape and Lighting District No. 1 Page 12 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 streetlights 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.
In Fiscal Year 2024/2025, the City created a City-Wide Street Light Replacement Project.
The project is in the planning stages and is currently identified in the District Budget as a levy adjustment item. This collection will be allocated towards the expense of the project.
IV. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
A. 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.
2025/2026 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 Towne 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 for access by 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.
2025/2026 City of Compton – Landscape and Lighting District No. 1 Page 14 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 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.
B. 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
2025/2026 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 2025/2026 is $4,199,287.32. 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 2024/2025 and prior years.
A summary of the estimated costs for the District for fiscal year 2025/2026 is shown in Table I of this Section.
A. DESCRIPTION OF BUDGET ITEMS
The following describes the costs funded through the District and shown in the budget.

2025/2026 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.
City-Wide Street Light Replacement Project – represents collections for a project to replace City-Wide streetlights beginning in FY2024-25.
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. 2025/2026 City of Compton – Landscape and Lighting District No. 1 Page 17 Total Parcels Levied – The total number of parcels within the District that will receive special benefit and be assessed for the fiscal year.
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.

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 2025-2026 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 2025-2026 beginning July 1, 2025 and ending June 30, 2026.
This resolution is to initiate proceedings for the levy and collection of assessments within the Compton Sewer Service Charges for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 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 2025-2026
April 8, 2025, 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 $913,641 annually.
It is incumbent upon the City to undertake the 2025-2026 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 $913,641 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 sewer 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.
2025/2026 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 2025/2026 beginning July 1, 2025 and ending June 30, 2026.
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 2025/2026 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 2025/2026 shall remain the same as Fiscal Year 2024/2025. The total estimated charged for sewer service for all parcels is $913,641. this charge can increase or decrease depending on Senior Exemptions applied in Fiscal Year 2025/2026.
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. 2025/2026 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). 2025/2026 City of Compton – Sewer Service Charge Page 5 TABLE I – PROPOSED BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2025/2026
