AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ALLOCATE ADDITIONAL

FUNDS IN THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A PURCHASE ORDER WITH
UNITED PACIFIC SERVICES, INC. TO PROVIDE TREE TRIMMING AND

MAINTENANCE SERVICES IN AN AMOUNT OF THREE HUNDRED
THOUSAND DOLLARS ($300,000)

SUMMARY
Adoption of this resolution will authorize the City Manager to allocate additional funds in the establishment of a purchase order with United Pacific Services, Inc. in the amount of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000) to provide tree trimming and maintenance services.

BACKGROUND
The City of Compton’s Urban Forest Program plays a crucial role in enhancing the quality of life in the City by providing numerous environmental, social and economic benefits.

Managing and enhancing trees in Compton not only beautifies the City but also contributes to improving air quality, reducing energy costs, mitigating stormwater runoff and fostering community well-being.

The Urban Forestry Program oversees more than 12,000 trees and is responsible for administering proper tree care; planting new trees; removing dead and hazardous trees; conducting reforestation projects in the parks, municipal grounds, open spaces, medians and streets, and maintaining a street database with maintenance information about trees throughout the City.

STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
The management of public trees is the responsibility of the Public Works Street Maintenance Department (Department). As part of the recent budget process, the Department was allocated additional funding to enhance tree maintenance services within the City.

This funding will allow the Department to expand its efforts to care for and maintain street trees, helping to ensure the continued vitality of the City’s urban forest. This initiative will provide lasting benefits to residents and contribute to a healthier environment for years to come.

November 4, 2025, Page 2
United Pacific Services, Inc. (UPS) is the City’s current contractor for tree maintenance services. Under the existing agreement, the City is authorized to compensate UPS up to Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000) annually for tree trimming services. The additional funding of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000) will increase this amount to Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($700,000) for the current fiscal year and annually for the remainder of the agreement. The term of the Agreement with UPS is for a period of three (3) years, beginning July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2026, with the option of two (2) one-year extensions.

In addition to tree trimming, UPS provides Tree Inventory Software and GPS mapping services. These tools are crucial for the City, as they help document the locations and characteristics of individual trees, along with their surrounding environment. The Tree Inventory includes street trees, park trees and trees located on other City-owned properties. Together, the Inventory and GPS services are essential for managing a healthy, resilient urban forest, which directly supports the well-being of both the environment and the community.

United Pacific Services, Inc. has extensive experience, having worked with over 20 municipalities in Southern California. The company employs certified Arborists and Pest Control Advisors, and operates a 2-acre facility in South Gate. Additionally, they are able to respond promptly to emergency tree service requests.

FISCAL IMPACT
Additional funds in an amount of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000) is allocated for this expenditure in the Department’s Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget in Account No. 2502- 720-000-4266.

ALTERNATIVE
No other alternative is being proposed.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached Resolution to allocate additional funding to United Pacific Services, Inc. for tree trimming services.

NOVEMBER 4, 2025
TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: MUNICIPAL WATER DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON

AUTHORIZING A PURCHASE ORDER TO NUNEZ OFFICE

INSTALLATION DBA NOI INSTALLATIONS FOR THE PURCHASE OF
FURNITURE FOR THE WATER DEPARTMENT’S CUSTOMER SERVICE

AND ADMINISTRATIVE IN THE AMOUNT OF FORTY-FOUR

THOUSAND SEVENTY-FIVE DOLLARS AND SIXTY-FOUR CENTS
($44,075.64)

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-Four Thousand Seventy-Five Dollars and Sixty-Four Cents ($44,075.64) for the procurement of furniture for the Water Department’s Customer Service and Administrative Offices.

BACKGROUND
Following recent renovations to the front counter and lobby, staff determined that its existing furniture was outdated and no longer functional. The Water Department obtained quotes from NOI, an authorized AIS agent, utilizing cooperative purchasing OMNIA Contract No. R191801. The department received authorization during FY 2024-2025 (Purchase Order 25FY1239) to proceed with the order.

The procurement through OMNIA Contract No. R191801 satisfies the City’s competitive bidding requirements under Charter Sections 1410–1411 through lawful participation in a cooperative purchasing program
During the installation, staff identified that several items delivered did not match the approved specifications. As a result, payment to NOI, was delayed due to inaccurate order entry, which resulted in the invoice not being processed during the 2024-2025 Fiscal Year.

The vendor initially submitted a quote in the amount of $36,988.66, and Purchase Order NO. 25FY1239 was approved. The vendor has agreed to replace and install the correct items. However, the City will be responsible for the additional cost associated with the upgraded ergonomic desks. An updated quote in the amount of $7,086.98 has been received to cover the cost of these items.

STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE

6.6.6.6.6.6.6. Staff Report - Authorizing P.O. Nunez Office Installation DBA NOI Installations (NOI) - $44,075.64
Water Department-Customer Service and Administration Offices November 4, 2025 Page 2
The Department received authorization to proceed with the furniture order during Fiscal Year 2024-2025. The City currently owes $36,988.66 to NOI for the furniture already installed in the Water Department's Customer Service and Administrative Offices.

Staff is now requesting authorization for an additional $7,086.98 to procure and install the upgraded ergonomic desks, bringing the total purchase authorization to $44,075.64.

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.

ALTERNATIVES
The Mayor and City Council may consider the following alternatives:

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-Four Thousand Seventy-Five Dollars and Sixty-Four Cents ($44,075.64).

2. Reject the resolution, which would delay completion of the furniture installation and may impact staff workspace ergonomics.

FISCAL IMPACT
Funding in the amount of $44,075.64 is available in Account Number 5000-90-000-4335 – Office Furniture and Equipment.

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-Four Thousand Seventy-Five Dollars and Sixty-Four Cents ($44,075.64) for the procurement of furniture for the Water Department – Customer Service and Administration Offices.

SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A SIX (6) YEAR

LEASE AGREEMENT WITH FATHERS AND MOTHERS WHO CARES
FOR THE LEASE OF CITY-OWNED PROPERTY LOCATED AT 920

NORTH ALAMEDA STREET

SUMMARY
City Council will consider a request from Fathers and Mothers Who Care (“FMWC”) to enter into a six (6) year (i.e. October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031) lease agreement, for use of approximately 1224 square feet of indoor space and 2216 square feet of outdoor space for a total of 3440 square feet of dedicated space at 920 North Alameda Street Compton, Ca.

BACKGROUND
The City of Compton owns certain real property located at 920 North Alameda Street, Compton, California 90221. Pursuant to guidance of the City Council, in November 2012, the City Manager implemented a City-wide leasing policy which mandates that City- owned facilities and/or property shall not be leased without first obtaining proper authorization from the City Council (i.e. an adopted resolution) and execution of a written lease agreement [City of Compton Standard Operating Manual, Policy 4.17(A)]. In addition to other matters, the Policy specifies that lease rates shall be based on the square footage of the area(s) subject to the exclusive use/occupation of the Lessee and that the standard leasing rate in a City-owned facility shall be at least One Dollar ($1.00) per square foot for indoor space and Fifty Cents ($0.50) per square foot for outdoor space or vacant property.

In addition to this required minimum base rental rate, the leasing policy addresses recovery of the costs incurred by the City for the provision of the following services:
utilities (e.g. gas, electricity, water, trash, etc.), maintenance and repairs, custodial services and City security. However, the leasing policy does provide that a Tenant that will have exclusive use/occupation of the entire City facility and/or property shall be solely responsible for all utilities, janitorial, security, and minor, routine interior and exterior maintenance of the facility or property, with the City responsible for structural and major repairs and maintenance.

Fathers and Mothers Who Care has requested to enter into a six (6) year lease agreement commencing (i.e. October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031) to authorize the leasing of 1224 square feet of indoor space at One Dollar ($1.00) per square feet and 2216 square feet of outdoor space at Fifty Cents ($0.50) per square feet for a total of 3440 square feet which equals an approximant total monthly rental amount of Two Thousand Three Hundred and Thirty-Two Dollars ($2,332.00).

STATEMENT OF ISSUE
Fathers and Mothers Who Care is committed to supporting families in need by operating as a referral and resource center. Their mission is to facilitate access to essential services while addressing immediate needs for clothing, hygiene products, and food. At the location at 920 N. Alameda Street, they will empower families by guiding them to long- term solutions, including access to Permanent housing assistance programs, substance abuse recovery services, DPSS benefits, Legal aid services for tenant rights, immigration assistance and other needs. Educational opportunities, job training programs, and employment resources.

In addition to serving as a referral hub, they will offer onsite classes and workshops tailored to building life-long skills and fostering personal growth such as parenting classes, wellness workshops, job readiness training and life skills classes.

The proposed lease agreement will provide Fathers and Mothers Who Care with exclusive use of the following location: 920 North Alameda Street:

Exclusive Indoor Square Footage 1,224 square feet
Exclusive Outdoor Square Footage 2,216 square feet
Total Exclusive Square Footage 3,440 square feet
Fathers and Mothers Who Care seeks City Council approval to enter into a six (6) year lease agreement with the City, beginning October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031, for exclusive occupation of the entire property. FMWC is interested in leasing the subject property for the purpose of administrative offices and support services for their organization.

The organization wishes to provide approximately One Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($175,000.00) in tenant improvements to the location at 920 North Alameda Street and requests a corresponding reduction in the lease rental fees as consideration for these improvements. This arrangement would effectively offset a portion of the rental obligation in exchange for capital investments that enhance the property, ensuring mutual benefit to both the City and the tenant. Management does not oppose this proposal, provided tenant improvements are concluded within the first six (6) months Staff Report – Resolution Authorizing Lease

of the agreement. The impact of the phased investment will create a clean, vibrant, and welcoming environment that fosters community connection, includes the addition of a versatile container unit to expand the organization’s ability to deliver services, and improves safety, accessibility, and comfort for all participants. These upgrades will be executed with fiscal and operational responsibility over the six-month period.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
Approval of the proposed lease agreement at the rental rate of One Dollar ($1.00) per square feet for occupation of approximately 1224 square feet of indoor space for a minimum monthly rental cost of One Thousand Two Hundred and Twenty-Four Dollars ($1,224.00), and Fifty Cents ($0.50) per square feet for exclusive use of a total of approximately 2216 square feet of outdoor space for a minimum monthly rental cost of One Thousand One Hundred and Eight Dollars ($1,108.00), and a complete total monthly rental fee of Two Thousand Three Hundred and Thirty-Two Dollars ($2,332.00). Over the six (6) year lease term, the total rental cost will amount to One Hundred Sixty-Eight Thousand, Nine Hundred and Eighty-Four Dollars ($168,984.00).

The proposed agreement would result in a temporary reduction or waiver of lease rental fees, valued at up to One Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($175,000), in exchange for tenant-funded improvements to the property at 920 North Alameda Blvd.

These improvements, to be completed within the first six (6) months of the agreement, will enhance the facility’s functionality, safety, and community accessibility without requiring direct City expenditure. The investment offsets the City’s need for future capital outlay for similar improvements, thereby providing long-term fiscal benefit. At the conclusion of the initial six (6) year lease term, any remaining balance may be Staff Report – Resolution Authorizing Lease

renegotiated and applied within the terms of a city council approved renewal lease agreement thereafter.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff has no objection to Fathers with Mothers Who Cares’ request to rent square footage; however, staff is not authorized to offer and lease City-owned property wherein the terms sought by the prospective Tenant may vary from the requirements of the City’s Leasing Policy; thus, staff makes no recommendation concerning this request. The decision is at the discretion of the City Council.

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 solicited to lead a data-driven planning process that included stakeholder input, market analysis, and identification of key opportunities and challenges. The plan, upon completion, will guide economic development policies and investments over the next four years.

The Economic Development Strategic Plan correlates and conform to the Economic Development Element of the City of Compton’s General Plan 2045. The EDSP and Economic Development Element will collectively establish a framework for the City of Compton’s economic development priorities and incentives.

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
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 Professional Services Agreement – The Natelson Dale Group, Inc.

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:

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
The Natelson Dale Group, Inc.
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
