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

AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ESTABLISH A PURCHASE

ORDER WITH GRAINGER FOR THE PURCHASE OF SUPPLIES AND

EQUIPMENT IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED FIFTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS ($50,000)

SUMMARY
The adoption of this resolution will authorize the City Manager to establish a purchase order with Grainger for the purchase of supplies and equipment in an amount not to exceed Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000).

BACKGROUND
The Public Works Street Maintenance Department is responsible for maintaining the City’s public roadways, including pothole repairs, asphalt patching, storm drain maintenance, signage replacement and other critical infrastructure needs. To perform these functions efficiently, the department must maintain a reliable inventory of tools, materials, safety equipment and essential consumables.

STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
The proposed purchase will include essential equipment and materials such as:
 Traffic control and signage
 Hand and power tools
 Safety equipment (vests, cones, gloves, respirators, etc.)  Hardware, fasteners and general maintenance supplies
 Small equipment replacements and upgrades
Grainger is a preferred vendor for many municipalities due to its extensive inventory, competitive pricing and participation in cooperative purchasing agreements such as Sourcewell, which provide pre-negotiated discounts and streamline the procurement process.

Using Grainger ensures quick turnaround times for procurement, reliable delivery and compliance with the City’s purchasing policy through cooperative purchasing agreements. This flexibility helps minimize delays in maintenance response and allows the Department to operate efficiently and safely.

1.1.1. Staff Report – Resolution Authorizing P.O.

Grainger

FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for this expenditure in the amount of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) is available in the Department’s Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget in Account No. 1001-720-000- 4236.

SUMMARY
Adoption of this resolution will authorize the City Manager to establish a purchase order to Nunez Office Installation DBA NOI Installations (NOI) in the amount of Forty-Three Thousand Ninety-Two Dollars and Twenty-Three Cents ($43,092.23) for the procurement of furniture for the Water Department’s Waste Division Offices.

BACKGROUND
Following recent renovations to the front counter, lobby, customer service, and administrative offices, staff determined it is necessary to purchase new furniture to support the operational needs of the Waste Division. The existing furnishings are outdated, no longer adequate for daily operations, and do not provide ergonomic workspaces. Replacing the furniture will allow the Division to better utilize available space and enhance functionality.

The Department has obtained a quote from Nunez Office Installation DBA NOI Installations, an authorized AIS agent, utilizing the cooperative purchasing OMNIA Contract No. R191801 in the amount of $43,092.23.

STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
The Department is requesting authorization to proceed with the furniture purchase for the Waste Division to establish cohesive, efficient, and ergonomic workspaces for the staff.

Under the City’s purchasing policy, staff-level authorization is limited to $50,000.00 annually. Since the cumulative spending with this vendor will now exceed that amount, further expenditures must be reviewed and approved by the Mayor and City Council before proceeding.

1. Approve the resolution authorizing the City Manager to establish a purchase order to Nunez Office Installation DBA NOI Installations (NOI) in the amount of Forty- Three Thousand Ninety-Two Dollars and Twenty-Three Cents ($43,092.23).

2. Reject the resolution, which may affect staff productivity and workspace ergonomics.

FISCAL IMPACT

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a purchase order to Nunez Office Installation DBA NOI Installations (NOI) in the amount of Forty-Three Thousand Ninety-Two Dollars and Twenty-Three Cents ($43,092.23) for the procurement of furniture for the Water Department – Waste Division offices.

SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON AMENDING THE 2025-2026 FISCAL YEAR BUDGET TO APPROPRIATE

SIXTY-FIVE MILLION EIGHT HUNDRED SEVENTY-FOUR THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED NINETY- EIGHT DOLLARS ($65,874,998) AND MAKE PAYMENT

TO THE CALIFORNIA PUBLIC EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT SYSTEM TO

REDUCE THE UNFUNDED ACTUARIALLY ACCRUED LIABILITIES BY A

LIKE AMOUNT OF THE ADDITIONAL PAYMENT

SUMMARY
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution amending the FY 2025–26 Budget to appropriate sixty-five million eight hundred seventy-four thousand nine hundred ninety-eight dollars ($65,874,998) for a lump-sum principal payment to the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) by December 31, 2025. This payment will reduce the City’s unfunded accrued liability (UAL) on its pension plan and is projected to save approximately $42.7 million in interest costs over time.

If the City does not make the lump-sum payment, the combined total of all annual payments required to fully amortize the outstanding UAL balance (including interest) would amount to approximately $120.6 million over the repayment period.

BACKGROUND
The City of Compton has participated in the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) since 1947, contracting with CalPERS to manage the City’s pension trust fund and to provide plan administration, investment management, and benefit administration services for all employee groups.

The City’s workforce includes four employee unions, as well as unrepresented employees and retirees, who receive pension benefits through the Miscellaneous, Safety Fire, and Safety Police plans administered by CalPERS.

Pension benefits represent a statutory obligation of the employer—a legally guaranteed promise to provide retirement income earned by employees. Once granted, pension benefits cannot be reduced or impaired for existing members under the California Constitution’s vested rights doctrine, which prohibits the diminishment of benefits. However, benefit formulas may be renegotiated for future employees.

3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3.3. 2
If an employer fails to adequately fund its pension plan and cannot meet its benefit obligations, employees have legal recourse to recover the pension payments owed to them.

Pension Benefits
The City provides retirement benefits to employees through defined benefit pension plans managed by CalPERS. These plans promise a specific monthly payment at retirement, based on each employee’s salary, years of service, and benefit formula.

Pension benefits are pre-funded during an employee’s career. Both employees and the City contribute money to CalPERS each pay period. CalPERS invests these funds to help pay future benefits.

Each year, CalPERS actuaries calculate how much needs to be contributed to keep the plan properly funded. The total contribution has two parts:
Normal Cost: The amount needed to fund benefits employees earn in the current year. Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL): The shortfall that occurs when the plan’s assets are less than the estimated value of all future pension payments owed.

The UAL can grow or shrink over time depending on investment performance, salary growth, and how long retirees live. When there is a shortfall, the City makes additional payments to CalPERS over time to close the gap.

CalPERS reviews each plan every year using professional actuarial methods to ensure contributions remain sufficient to meet future benefit obligations.

Copies of the City’s actuarial valuations, and those of all CalPERS member agencies, are available on the CalPERS website: CalPERS Public Agency Actuarial Valuation Reports

STATEMENT OF ISSUE
In October 2022, the California State Auditor issued a report on the City of Compton’s financial condition. Among its recommendations, the report advised that by July 2024, the City Council should develop and begin implementing a plan to reduce the City’s pension and other postemployment benefit (OPEB) liabilities. The report suggested that such a plan could include placing retirement funds into a trust or adjusting employee contribution levels.

In response to this recommendation, City staff evaluated strategies to reduce the City’s long- term pension costs. Through this review, staff identified that making a lump-sum payment toward the City’s Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL) with CalPERS would directly reduce the City’s total pension liability and significantly lower future interest and annual payment costs.

Paying down a portion of the UAL now not only improves the City’s overall funded status but also helps ensure greater long-term budget stability and sustainability of employee retirement benefits.
3 Pay Now or Pay More Later
As of the most recent CalPERS actuarial valuation dated June 30, 2024, the City’s projected Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL) balances, rolled forward to the beginning of Fiscal Year 2026–27 (June 30, 2026), are summarized below along with the total payments required under the CalPERS amortization schedule and the portion of those payments attributable to interest, based on CalPERS’ assumed annual rate of 6.8%. Although the City of Compton’s Police department is no longer in operation, the unfunded liabilities are still present for prior police personnel.

While the CalPERS UAL amortization schedules are designed to smooth costs over time, the cumulative interest expense is substantial and can limit the City’s capacity to fund essential services. Given that the City has set aside restricted resources specifically for pension-related purposes, it may be prudent to apply those funds as intended, to reduce the City’s pension liability and the significant interest costs associated with it.

Additional Discretionary Payments (ADPs)
An Additional Discretionary Payment (ADP) is a voluntary contribution that a CalPERS member agency may make in addition to the required annual payment toward its Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL). ADPs directly reduce the outstanding pension debt and the associated long- term interest costs.

CalPERS places no strict restrictions on when ADPs may be made. Agencies may make one or more ADPs at any time during the fiscal year, allowing flexibility to align payments with available resources or one-time revenues. This means the current opportunity is not the City’s only chance to reduce its UAL—future ADPs can also be made as funding permits.

Proposed ADP
Staff proposes that a $65,874,998 ADP that would pay off approximately 90% of the Miscellaneous plan UAL balance if paid by 12/31/2025. Since the proposed ADP is ahead of the 6/30/26 projected UAL above, the interest savings is slightly more than the schedule above. 4 Why do we propose the Miscellaneous plan and why only 90%? The miscellaneous plan UAL has a slightly higher interest cost (Interest/UAL balance) than the other plans. The UAL balance also ebbs and flows when actual experience varies from assumptions. Most CalPERS actuaries consider 90% as the upper range of what they recommend being held with CalPERS since recent legislation precludes CalPERS from giving member agencies relief should their plan become overfunded.

While staff has identified the Miscellaneous Plan as the initial candidate for an ADP, the City retains the option to apply additional payments to any individual plan or combination of plans (e.g., Miscellaneous, Police, or Legacy Fire) based on funding priorities and strategic benefits.

Maintaining Liquidity Outside of CalPERS
It is important for the City to retain a portion of its pension reserves in liquid assets outside of CalPERS to preserve flexibility and respond to changing financial conditions. While making additional payments to CalPERS reduces long-term liabilities, once funds are remitted, they cannot be withdrawn or repurposed. Maintaining a liquidity reserve, such as in a §115 Pension Trust or other restricted account, allows the City to respond quickly to unexpected CalPERS rate increases, economic downturns, or market losses that could sharply raise future pension costs. This approach balances debt reduction with prudent liquidity management, ensuring the City can stabilize future budgets and maintain essential services even if pension costs rise more steeply than anticipated.

FISCAL IMPACT
Funds for this payment are being requested to be appropriated in the current fiscal year.

Sufficient fund balance is available within the Retirement Trust Fund to support this appropriation. The proposed budget adjustment will authorize the use of these existing reserves to make an additional lump-sum payment to the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) to reduce the City’s unfunded accrued liability (UAL).

This payment will be funded entirely from the Retirement Trust Fund and will have no impact on any other City Funds or budgetary accounts.

RECOMMENDATION
5 Staff recommend that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution.

EIGHT HUNDRED SEVENTY-FOUR THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED NINETY- EIGHT DOLLARS ($65,874,998) AND MAKE PAYMENT TO THE CALIFORNIA PUBLIC

EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT SYSTEM TO REDUCE THE UNFUNDED

ACTUARIALLY ACCRUED LIABILITIES BY A LIKE AMOUNT OF THE

ADDITIONAL PAYMENT
WHEREAS, the City of Compton has contracted with the California Public Employees Retirement System to manage the City’s pension trust fund and provide plan administration and benefit administration services to the City since 1947; and WHEREAS, pursuant to the State of California Public Employee Retirement Law (PERL), the City has a fiscal responsibility for the general debts and other liabilities of the pension plan, including funding employee benefits under its plan; and WHEREAS, the pension benefit is advance pre-funded based upon an actuarially determined annual required contribution rate and retiree health care costs are funded utilizing a pay as you go funding methodology; and WHEREAS, the City had intended on establishing an Internal Revenue Code Section 401(h) Retiree Health Savings Plan to initiate prefunding of health insurance benefits and instead has determined it more beneficial to transfer these assets into the pension trust to further reduce actuarially accrued liabilities due to the difference in the funding methodologies applied to each benefit’s costs; and WHEREAS, funds accumulated in the Retirement Trust Fund for retiree pension and health insurance benefits are held in trust for the purpose of funding costs of retirement benefits.

WHEREAS, the State Auditor of California had issued a report to the City of Compton in October 2022 after their audit of the City was performed. That report contained various recommendations, but one of the recommendations, a Priority 3 Recommendation, stated the following on page 6 of the report:
“By July 2024, the city council should ensure that the city develops and begins implementing a plan for reducing Compton’s pension and other postemployment benefits (OPEB) costs and liabilities. This plan may include placing retirement funds into a trust and negotiating changes to employees’ contributions for pension and OPEB costs.”
This recommendation by the State Auditor of California was taken into consideration by City staff and staff began research on a method to reduce the total Pension Liability.

WHEREAS, staff is recommending that the City Council adopt a resolution amending the 2025-2026 Fiscal Year Budget to appropriate funds for an amount not to exceed sixty-five million eight hundred seventy-four thousand nine hundred ninety- eight dollars ($65,874,998), and make payment to the California Public Employees Retirement System to reduce the unfunded actuarially accrued liabilities for pension benefits.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON DOES
HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. That the Retirement Trust Fund 2025-2026 Fiscal Year budget shall be amended to appropriate funds from fund balance to the accounts as follows:

SECTION 3. That the funds for this additional payment are available within the Retirement Trust Fund in the reserve accounts set aside to provide funding for Pension and OPEB benefits and payment of these funds are herewith authorized to pay down the City’s UAL obligations within the CalPERS Pension Benefit Trust Fund.

SECTION 4. That a copy of this Resolution shall be forwarded and filed in the offices of the City Clerk, City Manager, City Attorney, and City Controller’s department.

SECTION 5. That the Mayor shall sign and the City Clerk shall attest to the adoption of this resolution.

STATE AUDITOR RECOMMENDATION –PRIORITY 3
DATE: OCTOBER 28, 2025
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS

FROM: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON

AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO DECLARE CERTAIN

PROPERTIES LOCATED WITHIN THE CITY OF COMPTON SURPLUS

LAND PURSUANT TO THE SURPLUS LAND ACT (GOVERNMENT
CODE SECTIONS 54220 ET SEQ.)

SUMMARY
Staff respectfully requests that the City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing the City Manager to declare certain Successor Agency-owned properties as surplus land.

BACKGROUND
The City of Compton (“City”) owns real property consisting of approximately 1.63 acres, located in the City of Compton (APN’s 6166-022-900, 6164-008-901, 6164-008-902, 6164- 008-903, 6164-008-904 and 6164-008-905) and the Successor Agency to the Former Compton Redevelopment Agency (“SA”) owns real property consisting of approximately 3.9 acres, located in the City of Compton (APN’s 6166-022-901, 6166-022-902, 6166-022-903, 6166-022-904, 6166-022-905, 6166-023-900, 6166-023-902, 6166-023-903, 6166-023- 904, 6166-023-905, 6138-004-900, 6138-004-901, 6138-004-902, 6138-004-903 and 6138- 004-904 ) (“Properties”). The City wishes to pursue the potential sale of the Properties; therefore, it must now comply with the Surplus Land Act (as amended by AB 1486) and has hired Kosmont Companies to assist in that process.

On October 9, 2019, Governor Newsom signed Assembly Bill (“AB”) 1486. AB 1486, which amended the Surplus Land Act (“SLA”), effective January 1, 2020, changed the existing, long-standing definition of “surplus land”; providing that land no longer necessary for a local agency’s use shall be declared either “surplus land” or “exempt surplus land” before taking any action to sell or lease land. To that end, AB 1486 also added a new limitation providing that an “agency’s use” “shall not include commercial or industrial uses or activities, including nongovernmental retail, entertainment, or office development,” or “property disposed of for the sole purpose of investment or generation or revenue.” AB 1486 further prohibits the City/SA from negotiation of any disposition of the Property prior to compliance with the procedural requirements of the SLA.

STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
As indicated above, the SLA, Government Code sections 54220 et seq., requires that public agencies first declare land "surplus land" or "exempt surplus land" before it can negotiate any disposition of the land, either for sale or for lease.

Pursuant to the SLA, City/SA staff must send a written notice of availability (“NOA”) of the surplus Property by electronic mail or by certified mail to all of the entities identified in Staff Report – Resolution Authorizing the declaration of Surplus Land October 28, 2025

Page 3 of 4 ends

Government Code section 54222, which include local public entities, housing sponsors that have notified the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) of their interest in surplus land for the purpose of developing low- and moderate- income housing, regional park authority and the State Resources Agency for open-space purposes, and local school districts for the purpose of school facilities or use. If the Property is within an infill opportunity zone or covered by a transit village plan, the NOA must also be sent to the City, or housing authority operating within the City.

If one of the entities/agencies receiving the NOA desires to purchase or lease the Properties, it must notify the City/SA of its interest to do so in writing within 60 days after the issuance of the NOA. After this 60-day noticing period, the City/SA is required to negotiate price and terms for the disposition with any responding entity(ies)/agency(ies) for a period of 90 days. Finally, in the event that no agreement is reached between the City/SA and any interested entity(ies)/agency(ies) after a good faith negotiation period of 90 days, the land may be disposed of without further regard to the Surplus Land Act subsequent to the receipt of a compliance letter from HCD.

Staff has determined that there is no further governmental use for the Properties and is recommending that the City Council declare the Properties as “surplus land” and complete the surplus property disposition process in accordance with the SLA.

ALTERNATIVE
No other alternative is being proposed

FISCAL IMPACT
Direct costs for undergoing the sale of the Properties involve an appraisal(s) and traditional real estate broker services, which will be offset by any proceeds received from the sale of the Properties. The exact final costs for these services is not known given the complexity and unknown factors that can occur when negotiating under the SLA process.

Procurement Compliance:

The proposed agreement with Kosmont Real Estate Services is for specialized advisory and consulting services that are professional in nature. Pursuant to Section 1411 of the City Charter and the City’s Purchasing Ordinance, such professional services are exempt from formal competitive bidding requirements. Staff has documented the basis for this exemption in accordance with Section 1410 to maintain a complete administrative and audit record.

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT AND ESTABLISH A
PURCHASE ORDER WITH THE NATELSON DALE GROUP, INC. FOR

THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIC PLAN IN AN AMOUNT

NOT TO EXCEED ONE HUNDRED FORTY-THREE THOUSAND TWO
HUNDRED AND SEVENTY DOLLARS ($143,270.00)

SUMMARY
Staff respectfully requests that the City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into a professional services agreement with The Natelson Dale Group, Inc., for consulting services related to the Economic Development Strategic Plan and to establish a purchase order for $143,270.00.

BACKGROUND
The City of Compton initiated the development of an Economic Development Strategic Plan (EDSP) to create a unified roadmap for business attraction, retention, and long-term economic growth. In response to changing market conditions and increased regional competition, the Plan provides a coordinated strategy to strengthen the local economy, expand the tax base, and improve the quality of life. A consultant was engaged to lead a data-driven planning process that included stakeholder input, market analysis, and identification of key opportunities and challenges. The resulting plan will guide future economic development policies and investments over the next four years.

To support this effort, the City issued a formal Request for Proposal (RFP) and, through a competitive procurement process, selected The Natelson Dale Group, Inc., as the qualified consultant to lead the project.

The resulting Strategic Plan will help guide future economic development policies and investments and will also inform the City’s future General Plan update – the first since 1991.

5.5.5.5.5. Staff Report – Resolution Authorizing Agreement with Natelson Dale Group Inc, - EDSP Consulting Services
October 28, 2025, Page 2

STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
The City’s General Plan has not been updated since 1991, leaving economic and land use policies outdated and misaligned with current conditions. To address this gap, the City developed an Economic Development Strategic Plan (EDSP) as a modern, action- oriented framework to guide economic growth, attract investment, and support future updates to the General Plan.

Staff recommends awarding a contract to The Natelson Dale Group, Inc. to formalize these priorities and begin implementation of the Strategic Plan as the first step toward a comprehensive planning update.

ALTERNATIVE
The City Council may select another consultant from the list of proposals if the Council deems them the lowest, most responsive bidder.

FISCAL IMPACT
Funds have been allocated in the Successor Agency Fund's Fiscal Year 2025-2026 budget in the following account:

Account Description Amount
1201-780-000-4266 Contract Services $143,270.00
There is no additional impact to the Successor Agency Fund.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt the attached Resolution, which authorizes the City Manager to enter into a Professional Services Agreement with The Natelson Dale Group, Inc. for consulting services for the Economic Development Strategic Plan, and to issue a purchase order for $143,270.00 to remain open until completion of the contract services, notwithstanding the fiscal year-end.

WHEREAS, the City has determined that it will be prudent to engage the services of a professional and experienced Consultant to assist with the preparation of an Economic Development Strategic Plan (EDSP); and
WHEREAS, Consultant warrants that it is specifically trained, experienced, competent, and has the resources to provide such services which will be required by this Agreement; and WHEREAS, Consultant is willing to render such professional services subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, Consultant and City, for the consideration, terms and conditions herein described, mutually agree as follows:

It is the mutual understanding of the parties that the Consultant shall perform and be responsible for rendering consulting services regarding the preparation of an Economic Development Strategic Plan (EDSP). Professional services shall include, but not be limited to, the Tasks in the Consultant’s attached/incorporated Proposal (See Exhibit B).

Consultant acknowledges that in entering into this Agreement, the City is relying on the Consultant's special skills and experience to do and perform the services in accordance with best standards of professional practice. While performing the services, Consultant agrees to perform all the said work and furnish all the necessary materials at its own cost and expense necessary to complete said services in a manner consistent with the degree of care and skill ordinarily exercised by members of the same profession which are currently practicing under similar circumstances, and to the reasonable satisfaction of the City.

Consultant services hereunder shall be performed in good, workmanlike and professional manner. Consultant shall be responsible for correcting and completing all errors and omissions related to the services provided by the Consultant for this Agreement at no additional cost to the City. “Errors” and “Omissions” for purposes of this paragraph are defined to mean a failure by the Consultant to meet the standards of its profession as set forth in the preceding paragraph.

Professional Services Agreement – The Natelson Dale Group, Inc.

Successor Agency Resolution No.
2 Consultant will be responsible for employing or engaging all persons necessary to perform the services. All of Consultant's staff will be qualified by training and experience to perform their assigned tasks. Consultant will give its personal attention to the fulfillment of the provisions of this Agreement by all of its employees and subcontractors, if any, and will keep the services under its control. On demand of the City, if any employee or subcontractor of Consultant fails or refuses to carry out the provisions of this Agreement or appears to be incompetent or to act in a disorderly or improper manner, he or she will be discharged immediately from the services.

ROGER DALE will serve as the Project Manager and shall be primarily responsible for representing the Consultant in the performance of this Agreement.

2. Duration of Contract.Consultant agrees to commence the services provided for herein upon written Notification to Proceed from the City and to continue in a diligent and professional manner until the project is complete, or upon exhaustion of authorized funding, whichever occurs first, unless this Agreement is terminated as provided herein. This Agreement shall automatically terminate on exhaustion of the authorized maximum compensation of One Hundred Forty-three Thousand, Two Hundred Seventy Dollars ($143,270), unless this Agreement is extended or otherwise terminated as provided herein.

Consultant will generally adhere to the schedule set forth within Consultant’s Proposal provided that City will grant reasonable extensions of time for the performance of the services occasioned by unusually lengthy governmental reviews of Consultant’s work product or other unavoidable delays occasioned by unforeseen circumstances; provided, further, that such unavoidable delay will not include strikes, lockouts, work stoppages, or other labor disturbances conducted by, or on behalf of, Consultant’s officers or employees.

Consultant acknowledges the importance of the City’s project schedule and agrees to put forth its best professional efforts to perform the services in a manner consistent with that schedule.

City understands, however, that Consultant’s performance must be governed by sound practices.

Consultant will work such overtime or engage such personnel and equipment as necessary to maintain the schedule, without additional compensation.

3. Compensation.The method of payment for these services will be billed on a time and out-of-pocket expenses basis, as identified in the Consultant’s attached/incorporated Proposal (See Exhibit A). The total price paid to the Consultant will include compensation for all work, including travel, materials, supplies, vendor services, expenses and subcontracted work. No additional compensation will be paid to the Consultant, unless there is a change in the scope of the work or the scope of the project. In the instance of a change in the scope of work or scope of the project, adjustment to the total compensation will be negotiated between the Consultant and the City. Adjustment in the total compensation will not be effective until authorized and approved in writing by the City.

WORK SCOPE AND PROJECT SCHEDULE
Work Scope
TASK 1: ECONOMIC CONDITIONS ANALYSIS

1.A Project Kickoff Meeting
The Natelson Dale Group, Inc. (TNDG) will facilitate a kickoff meeting with all project stakeholders (as mutually determined with the City) to establish baseline expectations for ongoing work. The kickoff meeting will cover communication channels to ensure timely and high-quality delivery of project tasks, and align project objectives, methodology, schedule, deliverables, and protocols.

1.B Review and analysis of existing demographic and socioeconomic data, labor force characteristics, sales tax revenue and other key economic data TNDG will compile background information from a range of public and private data sources including the following:
U.S. Census / American Community Survey (ACS)
Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG)
Los Angeles County Assessor’s Office
California Department of Finance (DOF)
California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) Commercial/industrial real estate market data (CoStar) Lightcast/EMSI (for existing and projected employment, by detailed industry and occupation) Where appropriate, demographic and economic data will be evaluated at multiple levels of geography (city, county, and state) to allow for comparison of local conditions to reference-area benchmarks. In addition, TNDG will customize the study geographies to reflect Compton’s strategic market position within metro Los Angeles and the larger Southern California region.

1.C SWOT Analysis and Competitive Assessment
TNDG will prepare a comprehensive strength-weakness-opportunity-threat (SWOT) analysis to guide the subsequent strategy formulation tasks. The SWOT summary will quantify Compton’s potentials for quality economic growth, based on the following information sources: the baseline data compiled in Task 1.B; input from stakeholders; and the consultant’s longstanding knowledge of economic development “best practices.” The SWOT summary will consider the following issue categories:
Geographic setting and proximity to larger economic regions Demographic makeup (existing and projected)
Workforce availability and skill levels (for the City and the larger “commute shed” region) Professional Services Agreement – The Natelson Dale Group, Inc.

Successor Agency Resolution No.
13 Workforce commute patterns
Education system
Existing economic base (i.e., mix of industry types)
Existing land use conditions and available land for development/redevelopment Infrastructure conditions and capacity (including transportation access and broadband service) Housing availability and affordability
Quality of life
Community image
Resident/community attitude towards growth
Regulatory environment (local and state level)
Economic development partnerships (public and private) Economic development incentives
The SWOT summary will identify the core strengths and opportunities that Compton can leverage for desired economic growth and prioritize these opportunities to allow for a strategic approach to marketing the community. With respect to weaknesses and threats, the SWOT will distinguish between issues that can realistically be mitigated and issues that are likely to be permanent constraints (thereby helping to define types of economic growth that are not realistic targets for the City).

1.D Market Potentials Analysis
As detailed below, TNDG’s market potentials analysis would include two major components (both of which would build on the market/financial studies TNDG prepared for the City in 2023 as part of the General Plan update:
A business/industry sector (“cluster”) analysis to identify specific industries/clusters that would offer strong potentials for high-quality economic growth in Compton; and A consumer demand / real estate market analysis to forecast demand for new commercial and industrial development in the City.

Business Sector Analysis (identification of target industries/clusters). The target industry analysis would include the following steps:

A. Compile updated documentation of regional industry targeting efforts (e.g., Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation programs) potentially relevant to Compton.

B. Update TNDG’s city-level “cluster” analysis to identify candidate industries for Compton. This update will include the following steps:
a. Compile updated data (6-digit NAICS code level) on current and recent historic employment in the City.

Professional Services Agreement – The Natelson Dale Group, Inc.

Successor Agency Resolution No.
14 b. Evaluate the City’s comparative strengths relative to the larger metro Los Angeles and Southern California regions, utilizing standard economic analysis techniques such as location quotient and shift-share analysis.
c. Evaluate City’s linkages to relevant regional industry clusters.

To facilitate efficient updating of the target industry/cluster analysis, TNDG would utilize customized employment data from Lightcast/EMSI.

In addition to the data-driven steps outlined above, the TNDG would evaluate Compton’s business attraction potentials from a site selector’s perspective. To that end, the consultant team will utilize the criteria outlined on the graphic on the following page. The list of “Must Have” and “Secondary” site selection criteria was developed by TNDG team member Paul Saldana based on his 30+ years of working with the site selection community.

Consumer Demand Analysis and Commercial/Industrial Market Projections. Utilizing the datasets compiled in Task 1.B, TNDG will prepare updated versions of the real estate demand forecasting models prepared by the firm in 2023 as part of the General Plan update. These models project future opportunities for local economic development based on anticipated population, employment and highway traffic growth. The models consider the existing and future demographic makeup of the City’s resident population, as well as potential consumer demand from regional residents and visitors. The models address the following land uses:
Office space
Industrial/R&D space
Retail restaurant space
With respect to retail/restaurant businesses, the TNDG demand model will identify specific opportunities for additional facility development (or new retail/restaurant tenancies in existing space) in Compton. The model first evaluates existing retail attraction patterns (comparing potential demand to actual existing sales) and then estimates the portion of the existing sales attraction that could realistically be retained given the increasing impacts of online sales. The model also forecasts future demand growth based on projected increases in local/regional population and employment. Potential demand for new retail businesses is expressed in terms of square feet supportable by major retail category (i.e., apparel, home furnishings, specialty, general merchandise, grocery, restaurants, hardware, etc.).

The “bottom line” findings of the real estate demand analyses will be expressed in terms of square feet of supportable building space by land use (over a 10-year forecast horizon). The supportable building square footages will also be translated to land/site acreage requirements for planning purposes.

1.E Prepare a Psychographic Study to understand Compton visitors’, shoppers’, and diners’, lifestyles, behaviors, and purchasing history
The TNDG team utilizes demographic segmentation that offers insight into consumer behaviors, spending patterns and site selection. The following identifies the information that will be analyzed as part of the Psychographic Study (aka Demographic Segmentation):

Utilize Demographic & Lifestyle Data
- Utilize data aggregated from 15 sources, including Esri, to provide insights into spending habits, sales volume, traffic counts, and drive times.
- Present data as consumer segments based on age, income, household composition, and purchasing behaviors.

Identify Consumer Preferences & Spending Trends
- Leverage tax and financial data to assess discretionary spending levels. - Examine lifestyle segmentation to tailor marketing strategies for different consumer groups. - Use behavioral insights to refine product offerings and promotional campaigns.

Optimize Business & Investment Strategies
- Align findings with economic development initiatives to attract businesses suited to Compton’s consumer base.
- Develop targeted outreach for investors and entrepreneurs based on market demand. - Utilize competitive intelligence to benchmark against similar urban markets.

1.F Target Lists for Business Retention/Attraction
The TNDG team will develop top-five lists of businesses within each of the critical industries in the City, including the following:
Highest producers of sales tax revenue (using HDL data supplied by City) Highest numbers of employees, segmented by firm and workforce (talent and diversity) characteristics
Growth potential

Consulting Services for Preparation of Economic Development Strategic Plan 18 -Strategic Fund Development: Design a roadmap for multi-phase implementation (with EDSP) Deliverables for Task 1:
Project kickoff meeting
Demographic background report
Psychographic study
SWOT analysis and competitive assessment
Commercial/industrial real estate demand analysis
Industry cluster analysis (including target list for business attraction) Administrative capacity assessment
TASK 2: OUTREACH AND COMMUNITY’S STRATEGIC VISION
Consistent with the approach outlined in the City’s RFP, the TNDG team would facilitate a robust stakeholder engagement process, which would be foundational to preparing a Vision Statement, goals and objectives for the 4-year EDSP. TNDG’s proposed stakeholder engagement process would include the following components:
Online surveys (in English and Spanish) of residents and the business community to understand economic challenges and priorities;
Three (3) community workshops (in English with Spanish translation available), including two meetings oriented toward residents and one meeting oriented toward business stakeholders; Individual interviews with selected stakeholders, including local business owners, commercial property owners, and real estate developers/brokers;
In-person presentation to the Community & Economic Development Committee In-person briefing to City’s executive leadership
In-person presentation of the final EDSP to the Compton City Council for consideration and approval; and
Bi-weekly coordination meetings with City staff.

As an optional element of the stakeholder engagement process, TNDG could facilitate a series of meetings with a “Stakeholder Taskforce” organized specifically for the EDSP process.

Online Surveys of Residents and the Business Community. TNDG would design and implement an online survey (in English and Spanish) of Compton residents; TNDG would also conduct a separate online survey (in English and Spanish) of the Compton business community. The survey would focus on profiling the most important challenges, opportunities, and priorities facing local residents and businesses, and identifying the types economic development programs the community would like to see the City offer. In order to ensure a high rate of participation in the surveys, TNDG would work closely with City staff to distribute the survey links via a range of communications channels.

Individual Stakeholder Interviews. In addition to the online survey, TNDG would conduct individual interviews with selected stakeholders (the list of interviewees would be mutually determined by TNDG and City staff). For budgeting purposes, we have assumed a total of 15 interviews to be conducted remotely (by phone or Zoom).

Professional Services Agreement – The Natelson Dale Group, Inc.

Consulting Services for Preparation of Economic Development Strategic Plan 19 In-person Community Workshops. TNDG’s budget for this proposal includes a total of three (3) community workshops: two workshops oriented toward Compton residents and one workshop oriented toward the business community. The purposes of these meetings would be to identify the major economic issues that the community would like to see addressed in the EDSP and to get community input (via facilitated workshops) on prioritization of EDSP programs and action items. These meetings would be presented in English, with Spanish translation services available for the presentations and group discussions.

Meetings with City Personnel. TNDG’s budget for this contract would include bi-weekly coordination meetings (virtual) with City staff.
(OPTIONAL TASK) Stakeholder Taskforce. As an optional/supplemental component of the stakeholder engagement program, TNDG would work with City staff to establish an ad hoc taskforce to provide guidance to the EDSP process. In TNDG’s experience, an informal taskforce of 10-15 members is very manageable for this type of project. The taskforce would include a mix of public and private sector representatives (to be determined by TNDG and City staff). The proposed sequence of taskforce meetings would be as follows:
Taskforce Meeting #1 would be concurrent with the SWOT analysis (Task 1) and would have two major purposes: (a) the TNDG team would present key findings from the team’s initial technical studies; and (b) TNDG would facilitate a group discussion to get the taskforce’s preliminary ideas on key issues, constraints and opportunities affecting Compton’s development potentials. Taskforce Meeting #2 would occur approximately mid-way through the process. At this meeting TNDG would present a preliminary strategic framework for the plan and then facilitate a group discussion to get the taskforce’s input on potential implementation strategies. Taskforce Meeting #3 would occur near the end of the process. At this meeting TNDG would review the Draft EDSP (which would be circulated to the taskforce members in advance of the meeting) and will get feedback from the taskforce regarding: (a) prioritization of the specific strategies included in the plan, and (b) designation of “lead entities” (i.e., specific City departments and/or external “partner” organizations) for each implementation strategy.

Deliverables for Task 2:
Summary tabulations from resident and business surveys Summary notes from community workshops
Summary notes from (OPTIONAL) EDSP taskforce meetings
Vision Statement
Bi-weekly check-in meetings with City staff
TASK 3: RESEARCH AND DRAFT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY The TNDG Team will integrate the findings and strategic implications from all preceding tasks into a comprehensive Economic Development Strategic Plan (EDSP) for Compton. The Plan will provide a Professional Services Agreement – The Natelson Dale Group, Inc.

Consulting Services for Preparation of Economic Development Strategic Plan 20 detailed blueprint for the City’s economic development programming, with both short-term (2-year) and longer-term (4-year) recommendations for attracting, strengthening, and sustaining the identified set of target industries and implementing other strategies. The Action Plan will include the following elements:
A Real Estate Development/Marketing Strategy, including specific recommendations for optimizing light industrial, office and retail development opportunities. These recommendations would be location-specific and oriented to key “opportunity sites” (or other subareas) identified during the course of the planning process.
A Business Retention/Expansion/Attraction Strategy reflecting the specific industry clusters and market segments identified in the technical analyses. The target industry strategy will include the following components:
Specific recruitment goals and objectives.
Workforce development strategies oriented to the needs of the priority industry clusters.
Recommendations regarding physical infrastructure improvements and other “capacity building” issues relevant to the targeted industry clusters. Recommended marketing framework for a cluster-based strategy (potentially in tandem with regional marketing initiatives).
Strategies for supporting and encouraging entrepreneurship and innovative activities within targeted industry clusters.
Specific Recommendations for Leveraging Key Regional Initiatives and Resources (e.g., LAEDC, Los Angeles County Department of Economic Opportunity, Compton Worksource Center, etc.) within the City’s overall development and business attraction efforts. A strategy to address Foundational Elements, including: 1) recommendations regarding physical infrastructure improvements and other “capacity building” issues affecting the viability of the target clusters, 2) integration of existing assets such as transportation and educational systems, and 3) recommended measures to ensure the City’s “business friendliness.” A Prioritization Matrix indicating the potential timing of the various action items (immediate, 1-2 years, 3-4 years), and identifying the specific projects and programs that would provide the best leverage of available resources.
Recommended Staffing/Organizational Structure for the City’s economic development programming.
A Responsibility Matrix indicating the entities who would most appropriately be tasked with carrying out various action items (including collaborating regional agencies and private sector “partners”).
Recommended Funding Sources and Incentives, allowing for fiscally responsible implementation of the EDSP recommendations and action items.

Professional Services Agreement – The Natelson Dale Group, Inc.

Consulting Services for Preparation of Economic Development Strategic Plan 21 Recommended Assessment Tools and a Monitoring Program to track the implementation of the Plan and to refine strategy objectives over time. The monitoring program will include performance- based “metrics” utilizing readily available data sources.

Deliverables for Task 3:
EDSP document (draft and final)
Detailed implementation table with estimated deadlines Implementation/assessment tools with recommended metrics In-person meetings with CEDC, City Council, Executive Leadership Project Schedule

9 PROJECT WORK PLAN & SCHEDULE
Work Plan
TNDG’s proposed work scope for this assignment is detailed below.

TASK 1: ECONOMIC CONDITIONS ANALYSIS

1.A Project Kickoff Meeting

TNDG will facilitate a kickoff meeting with all project stakeholders (as mutually determined with the City) to establish baseline expectations for ongoing work. The kickoff meeting will cover communication channels to ensure timely and high-quality delivery of project tasks, and align project objectives, methodology, schedule, deliverables, and protocols.

1.B Review and analysis of existing demographic and socioeconomic data, labor force characteristics, sales tax revenue and other key economic data

TNDG will compile background information from a range of public and private data sources including the following:

• U.S. Census / American Community Survey (ACS)
• Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) • Los Angeles County Assessor’s Office
• California Department of Finance (DOF)
• California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) • Commercial/industrial real estate market data (CoStar) • Lightcast/EMSI (for existing and projected employment, by detailed industry and occupation)

Where appropriate, demographic and economic data will be evaluated at multiple levels of geography (city, county, and state) to allow for comparison of local conditions to reference-area benchmarks. In addition, TNDG will customize the study geographies to reflect Compton’s strategic market position within metro Los Angeles and the larger Southern California region.

1.C SWOT Analysis and Competitive Assessment

TNDG will prepare a comprehensive strength-weakness-opportunity-threat (SWOT) analysis to guide the subsequent strategy formulation tasks. The SWOT summary will quantify Compton’s potentials for quality economic growth, based on the following information sources: the baseline data compiled in Task 1.B; input from stakeholders; and the consultant’s longstanding knowledge of economic development “best practices.” The SWOT summary will consider the following issue categories:

• Geographic setting and proximity to larger economic regions • Demographic makeup (existing and projected)

PROPOSAL FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIC PLAN
The Natelson Dale Group, Inc.
10 • Workforce availability and skill levels (for the City and the larger “commute shed” region) • Workforce commute patterns
• Education system
• Existing economic base (i.e., mix of industry types)
• Existing land use conditions and available land for development/redevelopment • Infrastructure conditions and capacity (including transportation access and broadband service) • Housing availability and affordability
• Quality of life
• Community image
• Resident/community attitude towards growth
• Regulatory environment (local and state level)
• Economic development partnerships (public and private) • Economic development incentives

The SWOT summary will identify the core strengths and opportunities that Compton can leverage for desired economic growth and prioritize these opportunities to allow for a strategic approach to marketing the community. With respect to weaknesses and threats, the SWOT will distinguish between issues that can realistically be mitigated and issues that are likely to be permanent constraints (thereby helping to define types of economic growth that are not realistic targets for the City).

1.D Market Potentials Analysis

As detailed below, TNDG’s market potentials analysis would include two major components (both of which would build on the market/financial studies TNDG prepared for the City in 2023 as part of the General Plan update:

• A business/industry sector (“cluster”) analysis to identify specific industries/clusters that would offer strong potentials for high-quality economic growth in Compton; and

• A consumer demand / real estate market analysis to forecast demand for new commercial and industrial development in the City.

Business Sector Analysis (identification of target industries/clusters). The target industry analysis would include the following steps:

A. Compile updated documentation of regional industry targeting efforts (e.g., Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation programs) potentially relevant to Compton.

B. Update TNDG’s city-level “cluster” analysis to identify candidate industries for Compton. This update will include the following steps:

a. Compile updated data (6-digit NAICS code level) on current and recent historic employment in the City.

11 b. Evaluate the City’s comparative strengths relative to the larger metro Los Angeles and Southern California regions, utilizing standard economic analysis techniques such as location quotient and shift-share analysis.

c. Evaluate City’s linkages to relevant regional industry clusters.

To facilitate efficient updating of the target industry/cluster analysis, TNDG would utilize customized employment data from Lightcast/EMSI.

• Office space
• Industrial/R&D space
• Retail restaurant space

With respect to retail/restaurant businesses, the TNDG demand model will identify specific opportunities for additional facility development (or new retail/restaurant tenancies in existing space) in Compton. The model first evaluates existing retail attraction patterns (comparing potential demand to actual existing sales) and then estimates the portion of the existing sales attraction that could realistically be retained given the increasing impacts of online sales. The model also forecasts future demand growth based on projected increases in local/regional population and employment. Potential demand for new retail businesses is expressed in terms of square feet supportable by major retail category (i.e., apparel, home furnishings, specialty, general merchandise, grocery, restaurants, hardware, etc.).

13 1.E Prepare a Psychographic Study to understand Compton visitors’, shoppers’, and diners’, lifestyles, behaviors, and purchasing history

The TNDG team utilizes demographic segmentation that offers insight into consumer behaviors, spending patterns and site selection. The following identifies the information that will be analyzed as part of the Psychographic Study (aka Demographic Segmentation):

1.F Target Lists for Business Retention/Attraction

The TNDG team will develop top-five lists of businesses within each of the critical industries in the City, including the following:

• Highest producers of sales tax revenue (using HDL data supplied by City) • Highest numbers of employees, segmented by firm and workforce (talent and diversity) characteristics
• Growth potential

Value-added Task: Target List for Business Attraction

The TNDG team will establish a comprehensive target list of the types of businesses the City should focus on attracting in the next four years. Utilizing a proprietary database of retail, commercial, real estate and site selection executives, the team will develop a list of target businesses, including contact information.

This list will also include cross-industry collaborations (supply chain) and revenue/profitability of companies best suited for Compton.

14 1.G Administrative Capacity Assessment

Consistent with the City’s requirements, the TNDG team will:

• Analyze the organizational capacity of the City to execute and implement economic development programs and initiatives.
• Identify local leaders and partners engaged in economic development. • Identify additional resources and funding that may be needed to successfully support the implementation of strategies.

The specific components of TNDG’s administrative capacity assessment are outlined below.

Organizational Capacity Assessment
- Policy & Framework Review: Analyze existing economic development plans, governance structures, and operational frameworks.
- Stakeholder Interviews: Gather insights from city officials, community leaders, and industry representatives.
- Comparative Benchmarking: Assess Compton’s approach relative to similar municipalities. - Implementation Readiness: Evaluate staffing, funding, and strategic alignment.

Stakeholder & Leadership Mapping
- Local Business & Community Networks: Identify key economic contributors and thought leaders. - Social Network Analysis (SNA): Map collaborative relationships between businesses, nonprofits, and government entities.
- Public Forums & Engagement Sessions: Facilitate conversations to align priorities and strengthen partnerships.

Resource & Funding Identification
- Current Budget & Grants: Review available funding streams from municipal, state, and federal sources.
- Public-Private Partnerships (PPP): Explore investment opportunities with local businesses and philanthropies.
- State & Federal Alignment: Leverage programs that relate to economic development, infrastructure and other identified needs.
- Strategic Fund Development: Design a roadmap for multi-phase implementation (with EDSP)

Deliverables for Task 1:
• Project kickoff meeting
• Demographic background report
• Psychographic study
• SWOT analysis and competitive assessment
• Commercial/industrial real estate demand analysis
• Industry cluster analysis (including target list for business attraction) • Administrative capacity assessment

15 TASK 2: OUTREACH AND COMMUNITY’S STRATEGIC VISION
Consistent with the approach outlined in the City’s RFP, the TNDG team would facilitate a robust stakeholder engagement process, which would be foundational to preparing a Vision Statement, goals and objectives for the 4-year EDSP. TNDG’s proposed stakeholder engagement process would include the following components:
• Online surveys (in English and Spanish) of residents and the business community to understand economic challenges and priorities;
• Three (3) community workshops (in English with Spanish translation available), including two meetings oriented toward residents and one meeting oriented toward business stakeholders; • Individual interviews with selected stakeholders, including local business owners, commercial property owners, and real estate developers/brokers;
• In-person presentation to the Community & Economic Development Committee • In-person briefing to City’s executive leadership
• In-person presentation of the final EDSP to the Compton City Council for consideration and approval; and
• Bi-weekly coordination meetings with City staff.

As an optional element of the stakeholder engagement process, TNDG could facilitate a series of meetings with a “Stakeholder Taskforce” organized specifically for the EDSP process.

In-person Community Workshops. TNDG’s budget for this proposal includes a total of three (3) community workshops: two workshops oriented toward Compton residents and one workshop oriented toward the business community. The purposes of these meetings would be to identify the major economic issues that the community would like to see addressed in the EDSP and to get community input (via facilitated workshops) on prioritization of EDSP programs and action items. These meetings would be presented in English, with Spanish translation services available for the presentations and group discussions.

Meetings with City Personnel. TNDG’s budget for this contract would include bi-weekly coordination meetings (virtual) with City staff.

16 (OPTIONAL TASK) Stakeholder Taskforce. As an optional/supplemental component of the stakeholder engagement program, TNDG would work with City staff to establish an ad hoc taskforce to provide guidance to the EDSP process. In TNDG’s experience, an informal taskforce of 10-15 members is very manageable for this type of project. The taskforce would include a mix of public and private sector representatives (to be determined by TNDG and City staff). The proposed sequence of taskforce meetings would be as follows:

• Taskforce Meeting #1 would be concurrent with the SWOT analysis (Task 1) and would have two major purposes: (a) the TNDG team would present key findings from the team’s initial technical studies; and (b) TNDG would facilitate a group discussion to get the taskforce’s preliminary ideas on key issues, constraints and opportunities affecting Compton’s development potentials.

• Taskforce Meeting #2 would occur approximately mid-way through the process. At this meeting TNDG would present a preliminary strategic framework for the plan and then facilitate a group discussion to get the taskforce’s input on potential implementation strategies.

• Taskforce Meeting #3 would occur near the end of the process. At this meeting TNDG would review the Draft EDSP (which would be circulated to the taskforce members in advance of the meeting) and will get feedback from the taskforce regarding: (a) prioritization of the specific strategies included in the plan, and (b) designation of “lead entities” (i.e., specific City departments and/or external “partner” organizations) for each implementation strategy.

Deliverables for Task 2:
• Summary tabulations from resident and business surveys • Summary notes from community workshops
• Summary notes from (OPTIONAL) EDSP taskforce meetings • Vision Statement
• Bi-weekly check-in meetings with City staff

TASK 3: RESEARCH AND DRAFT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY The TNDG Team will integrate the findings and strategic implications from all preceding tasks into a comprehensive Economic Development Strategic Plan (EDSP) for Compton. The Plan will provide a detailed blueprint for the City’s economic development programming, with both short-term (2-year) and longer- term (4-year) recommendations for attracting, strengthening, and sustaining the identified set of target industries and implementing other strategies. The Action Plan will include the following elements:

 A Real Estate Development/Marketing Strategy, including specific recommendations for optimizing light industrial, office and retail development opportunities. These recommendations would be location-specific and oriented to key “opportunity sites” (or other subareas) identified during the course of the planning process.

 A Business Retention/Expansion/Attraction Strategy reflecting the specific industry clusters and market segments identified in the technical analyses. The target industry strategy will include the following components:

PROPOSAL FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIC PLAN

17 • Specific recruitment goals and objectives.
• Workforce development strategies oriented to the needs of the priority industry clusters. • Recommendations regarding physical infrastructure improvements and other “capacity building” issues relevant to the targeted industry clusters. • Recommended marketing framework for a cluster-based strategy (potentially in tandem with regional marketing initiatives).
• Strategies for supporting and encouraging entrepreneurship and innovative activities within targeted industry clusters.

 Specific Recommendations for Leveraging Key Regional Initiatives and Resources (e.g., LAEDC, Los Angeles County Department of Economic Opportunity, Compton Worksource Center, etc.) within the City’s overall development and business attraction efforts.

 A strategy to address Foundational Elements, including: 1) recommendations regarding physical infrastructure improvements and other “capacity building” issues affecting the viability of the target clusters, 2) integration of existing assets such as transportation and educational systems, and 3) recommended measures to ensure the City’s “business friendliness.”

 A Prioritization Matrix indicating the potential timing of the various action items (immediate, 1-2 years, 3-4 years), and identifying the specific projects and programs that would provide the best leverage of available resources.

 Recommended Staffing/Organizational Structure for the City’s economic development programming.

 A Responsibility Matrix indicating the entities who would most appropriately be tasked with carrying out various action items (including collaborating regional agencies and private sector “partners”).

 Recommended Funding Sources and Incentives, allowing for fiscally responsible implementation of the EDSP recommendations and action items.

 Recommended Assessment Tools and a Monitoring Program to track the implementation of the Plan and to refine strategy objectives over time. The monitoring program will include performance-based “metrics” utilizing readily available data sources.

Deliverables for Task 3:
• EDSP document (draft and final)
• Detailed implementation table with estimated deadlines • Implementation/assessment tools with recommended metrics • In-person meetings with CEDC, City Council, Executive Leadership
