Tanya Lewis thanked Hector for promptly installing a sign at 134th and Alba. She also suggested that each council member identify and address a neglected corner in the City until every corner is revitalized.

’Tis the season for college football
coaches hirings and /f_irings.

Or maybe it’s more accurate to say it
used to be the season for coaches hir-
ings and /f_irings.

The college football landscape looks
dramatically diﬀerent in 2024 than it
did just a few years ago. With the advent
of NIL and booster-run collectives, cou-
pled with looming revenue sharing,
schools have started to shift their focus
when it comes to how they dole out
money for winning football teams.

In the past, the highest earners on
teams were coaches – by a long shot.

And while that’s still true for now,
schools are starting to prioritize putting
money toward their roster as opposed to
their coaching staﬀ.

How else do you explain Florida
coach Billy Napier hanging on to his job
when the Gators had amassed a 4-4 rec-
ord midway through the season? In a
statement that likely portends the fu-
ture, Florida athletic director Scott
Stricklin told fans on Nov. 7 that Napier
would continue as UF’s coach amid
speculation that he was about to be
shown the door. (Napier’s buyout is
more than $26 million.) USA TODAY
NETWORK columnist Blake Toppmeyer
described it as a “/f_limsy endorsement.”
The Gators have since become bowl eli-
gible, but the reality is that to build a
program that can contend for College
Football Playoﬀ berths, Florida needs to
spend its money on top prospects; it
also knows stability goes a long way
with recruits.

Often at this point, with bowl season
right around the corner, underachieving
coaches would be looking for work. So
far this year, there have been just four
Power Four openings – North Carolina,
UCF, Purdue and West Virginia – and
there are now two left after UCF rehired
Scott Frost and Purdue hired UNLV’s
Barry Odom.

But numerous programs already are
reevaluating what assistants are mak-
ing, and a handful already have been
shown the door.

USA TODAY Sports analyzes the /f_ive
most overpaid college football assistant
coaches:
(Fired coaches were not eligible for
the list, though getting paid to do noth-
ing – like former Florida State defensive
coordinator Adam Fuller – would qual-
ify as peak overpaid. Tony Gibson took
the job as head coach at Marshall after
the season ended.)

1. Blake Baker, LSU,
defensive coordinator
Compensation: $2.5 million
Good golly, this guy could make an
argument to take up all /f_ive spots. Con-
sider that Baker, 42, is the highest paid
assistant in the country … and his team
/f_inished the regular season 8-4. Worse,
he is presumably being paid $2.5 million
to put together a stout defense, but the
Tigers rank 52nd – 52nd! – in total de-
fense. Surely being ranked that low con-
tributed to their 5-3 /f_inish in the SEC
and another missed playoﬀ opportunity
under head coach Brian Kelly. Giving up
38 to Texas A&M and 42 to Alabama,
both losses, is a good way to make this
list.

But it’s even worse when you remem-
ber that LSU paid Missouri $950,000 to
cover Baker’s buyout when it hired him
in January. Add that LSU owed his pred-
ecessor Matt House about $3.7 million
and, well, accountants in the Tigers ath-
letic department can’t be happy. (House
was hired by the Jacksonville Jaguars as
an inside linebackers coach, which oﬀ-
set some of his buyout.)

2. Tony Gibson, N.C. State,
defensive coordinator
Compensation: $1.5 million
Did you know the 6-6 Wolfpack had
one of the highest paid assistant coach-
es in the country? Yeah, we’re as per-
plexed as you. Gibson, in his fourth year
at North Carolina State, was being paid
a lot of money to put together a top de-
fense. But the Wolfpack /f_inished the
regular season ranked 84th in the coun-
try and barely made a bowl game. Gib-
son, who may have felt some pressure to
move on, probably is taking a pay cut to
be head coach at Marshall.

No. 3 Morgan Scalley, Utah,
defensive coordinator
Compensation: $2 million
Well, this is awkward. Not only is
Scalley overpaid when you consider
Utah’s abysmal year – the Utes missed a
bowl game for the /f_irst time since 2013,
/f_inishing 5-7 – but in the summer, Utah
revealed that Scalley is the coach-in-
waiting whenever Kyle Whittingham
steps down. The Utes did not rank high-
er than No. 30 in total defense. Yikes.

Andy Ludwig, another candidate for
this list considering his $2,050,000 sal-
ary, resigned as the Utes’ oﬀensive coor-
dinator in October. While it’s true many
of their problems this year go back to a
banged-up roster, the reality is, if you’re
going to make $2 million annually, you
need to be playing in the postseason an-
nually, too.

No. 4 Chip Kelly, Ohio State
offensive coordinator
Current compensation: $2 million
Win the one game you’re supposed to
win (vs. Michigan) and you don’t make
this list. Continually lose that game –
especially in a year when you are abso-
lutely the more talented team – and
people are going to start looking hard at
payroll. Chip Kelly has long been con-
sidered one of the more brilliant oﬀen-
sive minds in college football and while
his oﬀense isn’t as innovative or unstop-
pable under head coach Ryan Day, it
should at least be able to hang more
than 10 points on OSU’s biggest rival.

No. 5 Wink Martindale, Michigan,
defensive coordinator
Compensation: $2.3 million
This one is a little tricky. Defending
national champion Michigan /f_inished
the regular season ranked No. 15 in total
defense, which isn’t terrible, but also
isn’t good for one of the highest paid as-
sistants in the country – especially
when you consider that Martindale re-
turned to the college ranks after making
headlines with his NFL defenses, par-
ticularly with the Baltimore Ravens.

Martindale is due for a substantial raise
($200,000) each year of his three-year
contract, which runs through Jan. 10,
2027.

It’s worth pointing out that a lot of
the Wolverines’ problems go back to for-
mer coach Jim Harbaugh, who jumped
ship for the NFL in late January, which
put Michigan in a bind. Still, when you
add it up for Martindale, it doesn’t look
good for someone whose team is 7-5, a
considerable tumble for the 2023 titlist.

Of course, beating your archrival during
a season when you have no business do-
ing so always makes fans and adminis-
trators appreciate you more.

Also considered: Brad White, Ken-
tucky defensive coordinator; Pete Gol-
ding, Mississippi defensive coordinator;
Joe Rossi, Michigan State defensive co-
ordinator; Brian Hartline, Ohio State
co-oﬀensive coordinator and wide re-
ceivers; Kane Wommack, Alabama de-
fensive coordinator.

For the U.S. women’s national team,
the end of an era arrived as longtime
captain Becky Sauerbrunn announced
her retirement from professional soccer.

Sauerbrunn, 39, con/f_irmed the end of
one of the great careers in American
soccer with a post on her Instagram ac-
count Tuesday. In her 219 appearances
with the USWNT, Sauerbrunn was a key
part of the World Cup winning teams in
2015 and 2019 and won three NWSL
championships at the club level.
“ All I can do is hope that you got to
share in some of the joy I felt every time I
stepped onto a /f_ield – that you got to
dream with me, even if just for a little
while,” wrote Sauerbrunn in her farewell
message. “This isn’t the end. I’ll be
around. I love this game too much to
leave it for good. But for the /f_irst time in
sixteen years I’m going to /f_ind a quiet
moment and close my eyes for a bit.”
Beyond her presence as a stabilizing
force at center back, where her ability to
read the game was essential for one of
the best stretches of USWNT success,
Sauerbrunn was a critical voice as the
players pushed for for equal pay.

Major impact on USWNT
Before she even played professional
club soccer, Sauerbrunn made her
USWNT debut in January 2008 thanks
to standout performances at the U.S.
youth national team level and in college
with the Virginia Cavaliers. The St. Lou-
is native joined the Washington Free-
dom shortly thereafter, carrying on with
the team in 2009 when it joined Wom-
en’s Professional Soccer (WPS), one of
two /f_ledgling pro leagues that came be-
fore the NWSL started in 2013.

Despite the early look, Sauerbrunn’s
ascension to the USWNT didn’t truly
start in earnest until 2010 as the team
went through World Cup qualifying. The
defender wasn’t an immediate starter,
but she made a critical appearance in
the 2011 World Cup semi/f_inals and ap-
peared at the 2012 Olympics in London,
where the USWNT won the gold medal.

From 2013 through 2022, Sauerbrunn
took on more of a vital role with the
USWNT as part of a new generation of
players that took the team back to the
top of international soccer. Sauer-
brunn was /f_irst choice for the World
Cup-winning sides in 2015 and 2019, as
well as on the 2016 and 2020 Olympic
teams.

Oﬀ the /f_ield, Sauerbrunn was cru-
cial in the USWNT’s drive for equal
pay. She was one of /f_ive players to /f_ile
an Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission complaint over the pay
disparity between the men’s and
women’s national teams and served as
the U.S. Women’s National Team Play-
ers Association’s /f_irst president. In
September 2022, the USWNTPA and
U.S. Soccer reached a collective bar-
gaining agreement, with Sauerbrunn
signing the oﬃcial documents on the
/f_ield following a friendly in Washing-
ton, D.C.

Meanwhile, as the NWSL kicked oﬀ
in 2013, Sauerbrunn emerged as a star
in the league, winning two titles with
FC Kansas City. She would add a third
championship in 2022, this time as a
veteran leader with the Portland
Thorns. Sauerbrunn’s seven appear-
ances on the league’s Best 11 are a rec-
ord, as are her four Defender of the
Year awards.

JAY BIGGERSTAFF/IMAGN IMAGES
Caitlin Clark’s college coach Lisa
Bluder thinks it’s time for everyone
around the WNBA – including Wash-
ington Mystics co-owner Sheila John-
son – to “embrace” how Clark’s star-
dom has provided a boost for women’s
basketball.

Following a 2024 WNBA Rookie of
the Year season with the Indiana Fe-
ver, Clark was named Time magazine’s
Athlete of the Year, a decision John-
son, the billionaire founder of BET net-
work, said she disagreed with.

In an interview this week with CNN
Sports, Johnson said “the structure of
the way media plays out race” was a
factor in Clark receiving the honor and
argued that Time should have instead
“put the whole WNBA on that cover,
and said the WNBA is the League of
the Year.”
Speaking with USA TODAY’s Sports
Seriously, Bluder – who retired in May
after 24 seasons coaching at Iowa,
where Clark played from 2020 to 2024
– disagreed, insisting Clark’s impact
on women’s sports is historic.
“It’s silly to me that anybody’s try-
ing to take away from something that’s
so good in your sport right now,” she
said. “(Clark) is a person that’s really
helped athletics, helped women’s sports
in a way that nobody has helped wom-
en’s sports, maybe since Billie Jean
King.”
Johnson’s point is a nuanced one,
and in the same interview the Mystics
co-owner credited Clark for using her
Time interview to call for more attention
for the WNBA ’s Black players. “It has
taken the WNBA almost 28 years to get
to the point where we are now,” ex-
plained Johnson. “It’s just not Caitlin
Clark, it’s (Angel) Reese. We have so
much talent out there that has been un-
recognized, and I don’t think we can just
pin (the league’s rise) on one player. ...
“I feel really bad because I’ve seen so
many players of color that are equally as
talented, and they never got the recog-
nition that they should have. And I think
right now, it is time for that to happen.”
Bluder’s position appears to be that a
rising tide will lift all and the entire
WNBA will bene/f_it from Clark’s fame.
“Let’s get on the bandwagon and help
her out, make her life a little bit easier,
because she is helping all of us,” said
Bluder. “Sometimes, you know, we used
to tell our team, ‘listen when, when Cait-
lin’s light shines on her, it shines on all of
us.’ And I think everybody else needs to
embrace that a little bit better.”

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

COMPTON ADOPTING THE KEY TO THE CITY TO

POLICY IN RECOGNITION OF OUTSTANDING SERVICE AND

EXEMPLARY CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE COMMUNITY

SUMMARY
Staff recommends that the City Council review the draft policy governing the nomination, approval, and presentation of the ceremonial Key to the City. The policy will provide consistent guidelines for recognizing individuals and organizations whose contributions have significantly benefited the City of Compton.

BACKGROUND
The Key to the City is the City’s most prestigious ceremonial honor award presented to individuals or organizations whose achievements, leadership, and service have made exemplary contributions, benefitted the community or brought honor to the City of Compton.

STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
The Key to the City is a symbolic honor traditionally bestowed by municipalities to recognize distinguished service, achievement, or goodwill. While the City of Compton has occasionally presented this honor, there is currently no formal policy outlining the criteria or process for doing so. Establishing a policy will ensure transparency, consistency, and proper recordkeeping.

DISCUSSION
The proposed policy includes the following components:
 Purpose: To honor individuals or organizations whose actions have positively impacted the City of Compton or brought it distinction.  Eligibility: Open to residents, former residents, dignitaries, public figures, or organizations with notable achievements in areas such as public service, arts, education, business, or community leadership.

7.7.7.7. Staff Report – Resolution Adopting the Key to the City December 23, 2025, Page 2
Nomination Process: Nominations may be submitted by any member of the City Council accompanied by a written justification. Approval: Requires majority vote by the City Council at a regular or special meeting.
Presentation: The Key to the City will be presented by the Mayor or a designated Councilmember during a public ceremony or Council meeting. Recordkeeping: The City Clerk will maintain a permanent record of all recipients, including the date and reason for the award.

The Key to the City is the highest ceremonial honor a municipality can bestow.

Unlike a proclamation or certificate, which recognize notable achievements or contributions, the Key to the City carries a deeper symbolic meaning. It represents trust, gratitude, and an enduring bond between the recipient and the community.

Historically, the Key to the City signified unrestricted access and a gesture of profound respect. Today, it remains an elevated distinction reserved for individuals or organizations whose impact transcends ordinary recognition—those who have demonstrated exceptional service, leadership, or influence that strengthens the fabric of our city.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
Minimal fiscal impact, limited to the cost of producing ceremonial keys and certificates, which will be absorbed within the existing departmental budget.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the Key to the City Policy as presented and direct the City Clerk to incorporate it into the City’s official policy manual.

Due to the high daily usage of City facilities, staff utilizes various supplies and materials in large quantities to keep and maintain all of the facilities in an orderly fashion. The ability to efficiently order materials and maintain supplies is paramount to the Department’s operation. Waxie equipment (paper towels, soap, and tissue dispensers, etc.) and products (toilet tissue, paper towels, air fresheners, etc.) have been installed and utilized in all City facilities to provide uniformity in appearance, quality, and to uphold cleaning standards. In doing so, the dispensers and supporting equipment for these products only fit Waxie products and this purchase order will allow staff to ensure all facilities are properly stocked with sufficient supplies at all times.

STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
In the past, the Department has requested authorization as a sole source procurement vendor as Waxie’s equipment is designed to only operate within their product lines. The City currently has Waxie’s equipment installed throughout its facilities. Consequently, Waxie is the only qualified vendor that can provide these products. In addition, Waxie is part of the Omnia Partners Nationwide Cooperative Agreement Contract Number 2020002301. California Government Code Section 6500 authorizes public agencies to

8.8.8. Staff Report – General Services
Waxie Purchase Order – Custodial Supplies
December 23, 2025, Page 2
participate in cooperative purchasing agreements like those established by Omnia Partners Nationwide.

This procurement method complies with the City of Compton’s purchasing policies per Compton Municipal Code section 4-11-7(c).

Compton Municipal Code Section 4-11.7(c) Exceptions to Competitive Bidding Requirements lists certain exemptions from the bidding process, including purchases of contract supplies, materials, equipment or services entered into with another governmental or quasi-governmental entity.

The availability of custodial supplies is crucial for the General Services Department to continue its operations effectively and safeguard the well-being of staff and visitors. To ensure we meet the City’s daily custodial and equipment demands, staff is requesting a resolution in an amount not to exceed Seventy Thousand Dollars and Zero Cents ($70,000.00).

FINANCIAL IMPACT
Funds for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 in the amount of Seventy Thousand Dollars and Zero Cents ($70,000.00) are available in the General Services Department’s 2025-2026 Fiscal Year budget in the following Account Number:

Account Number Fund Amount
1004-600-000-4239 Measure P - Custodial Supplies $ 70,000.00

ALTERNATIVE
No other alternative is being proposed at this time.

RECOMMENDATION
Based on the need to maintain a clean and safe environment within our facilities, staff recommends the adoption of the attached resolution.

SUMMARY
Adoption of this resolution will authorize the City Manager to enter into multiyear investigation, legal, and professional service agreements with Oppenheimer Investigations Group (“OIG”), Norman A. Traub & Associates (“NATA”), and Jackson Lewis P.C.

BACKGROUND
Pursuant to Section 702 of the City of Compton Charter, the City Council is authorized to contract with outside attorneys to assist the City Attorney with professional legal services, including ongoing legal advice and the handling of various complex legal matters of the City.

Historically, the City has retained the services of various law firms to assist the City Attorney/Law Division with specific cases and in specialized areas of the law.

The Human Resources Department is routinely tasked with conducting administrative investigations; however, depending on the nature, scope, and sensitivity of a claim, it is often necessary to utilize external investigators or legal counsel to ensure neutrality, maintain confidentiality, mitigate liability, and comply with best practices.

STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The City has identified the need to secure expert transactional advisory litigation support services to assist the City on an “as-needed” basis with specialized projects, such as conflict of interest matters, municipal labor and employment practices, labor negotiations, administrative and municipal hearings, and investigation services.

Staff issued a Request for Proposals (“RFP”) to expand the City’s network of qualified firms and subsequently received and evaluated proposals from Oppenheimer

Expanding the City’s roster of approved legal service providers improves turnaround times, enhances access to subject-matter experts, and ensures the City can promptly and effectively address matters as they arise

FISCAL IMPACT
The term of the agreements shall be effective beginning October 1, 2025, and shall remain in effect through June 30, 2028, and/or until services are completed.

Investigation and legal services performed pursuant to the referenced legal agreements shall be paid from Account #1001-560-000-4261 (Human Resources – Legal Services) and/or Account #1001-560-000-4266 (Human Resources – Contract Services).

Hourly rates of all legal counsel shall not exceed Four Hundred and Forty Dollars ($440.00) per hour.

Total amount of expenditures for all firms combined shall not exceed $250,000.00 per Fiscal Year.

It is recommended that the City Council approve and adopt the attached Resolution to enter into multiyear investigation, legal, and professional service agreements with Oppenheimer Investigations Group (“OIG”), Norman A. Traub & Associates (“NATA”), and Jackson Lewis P.C.

OIG will interview witnesses, collect and review pertinent information, and report this information to the Client. In the report OIG will tell the Client what is believed to have happened and the basis for that conclusion. OIG does not guarantee any particular result and will reach findings based on impartial and professional evaluations of the evidence. OIG will stay within this scope unless authorized to expand the scope of the engagement. Use of Outside Consultants. Should a matter require expertise from any outside consultants, the Client will have an opportunity in advance to: (a) approve the rationale for retention of such consultants; (b) approve the selection of such consultants; and (c) approve the rates and anticipated fees relating to such services.

portion of the charges on a statement, then it agrees to pay the remaining charges, which will not constitute a waiver of the objection.

When services conclude for an investigation, all unpaid charges will immediately become due. This section shall survive termination of the Agreement. Fee Arbitration. Should a dispute regarding fees or costs arise and the Parties be unable to resolve the dispute, either party may resolve the dispute by submitting it to binding arbitration pursuant to the California Arbitration Act. This agreement is subject to the right of the parties to non-binding fee arbitration under the State Bar Fee Arbitration Program. The Client understands that, by agreeing to binding arbitration, it is waiving the right to a jury or court trial and attendant procedural rights, such as full discovery and appeal rights. This section shall survive termination of the Agreement. Mutual Indemnification. The Client agrees to defend, indemnify and hold OIG harmless for and against all actions, claims, and complaints, whether formal or informal, actual or threatened, arising from or related to the investigation brought or asserted against OIG by any investigation interviewee, Client employee or official, or anyone claiming through them.

Any right of defense or indemnification shall be undertaken by the Client at its sole expense and under its control. In accordance with California Rule of Professional Conduct 1.8.8, this provision is not intended to apply to any potential professional malpractice action brought by the Client against OIG. OIG agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Clientele harmless for and against all other actions, claims, and complaints, whether formal or informal, actual or threatened, arising from or related to the investigation brought or asserted against Clientele, other than those claims for which Clientele is defending and indemnifying OIG, as set forth above. This section shall survive termination of the Agreement. Insurance. OIG agrees that it is an independent contractor and not an employee of the Client, and that OIG attorneys are licensed by, and in good standing with, the State Bar of California. OIG will maintain, at its own expense, a policy of comprehensive liability insurance throughout the term of the Agreement, which will ensure the Client and OIG against liability for injury or death of persons and damage to Client facilities, arising from activities required and use of classrooms or other Client facilities under this Agreement. OIG will maintain Professional Liability insurance coverage in the amount of $l,000,000/$3,000,000 aggregate and other coverages required by law, including General Liability insurance and Workers Compensation insurance in the required amounts.

OIG can provide the Client with a Certificate of Insurance at the Client’s request. Any altered or terminated insurance policy will be replaced with an insurance policy meeting the requirements of this section so that the terms of the replacement policy become effective no later than the termination or alteration of the prior policy. Termination. The Client may discharge OIG at any time. OIG may withdraw with the Client’s consent or for good cause. Good cause includes the Client’s breach of this Agreement, refusal to cooperate or follow advice on a material matter, or any fact or circumstance that would render OIG continuing representation unlawful or unethical. When OIG services conclude, all unpaid charges will immediately become due. After services conclude, OIG will deliver any Client files and property in its possession, whether all services have been paid, upon request. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties and supersedes any prior agreement. If any section or portion of these terms is determined by any court or arbitrator to be illegal or invalid, the validity of the remaining terms shall not be affected therein and said illegal or invalid term will be deemed not to be a part of the Agreement. Any changes to this agreement will be made in writing and signed by both Parties. (Signatures appear on the following page.) Docusign Envelope ID: 24FAE22A-AE40-4124-95DF-9518622B74C0

Re: Confirmation of Engagement and Fee Agreement
Independent Workplace Investigations
Dear Lauren:

We are pleased that the City of Compton (the “City”) has decided to retain Shauna R.

Amon of Jackson Lewis P.C. (the “Firm”) to conduct outside investigations beginning October 1, 2025 – June 30, 2028, and/or until services are completed. This letter details the scope of our proposed client relationship and, should the City decide to retain the Firm, outlines the fees for our services. Thank you for considering us.

A. Scope of Services
As we discussed, the City is considering retaining the Firm to conduct outside investigations, as needed. The City and Firm (collectively, the “Parties”) agree that the objective of this engagement is for the Firm to conduct impartial investigations on an as-needed basis. The Firm fulfills its duty to the City by conducting investigations impartially and objectively. The Firm does not guarantee any particular result or finding. Rather, the Firm will reach findings based on an impartial and professional evaluation of the evidence available to it. The City understands that its obligation to pay fees and costs does not depend on the outcome of any investigation.

B. Attorney-Client Privilege
While we will try to maintain the attorney-client and work product privilege related to an investigation, we do not guarantee such privileges will be deemed applicable in a future proceeding. Further, the privilege may be waived by the City if, for example, the City elects to use Docusign Envelope ID: F00BB386-24BB-4810-BC79-FE2926C088C5 Lauren Nguyen

the investigation in subsequent litigation. At that point, all details of the investigation may be discoverable – including otherwise privileged communications and materials.

C. Compensation for Post-Investigative Work
This engagement shall be considered concluded after the Firm has provided an investigation report in this matter, whether oral or written, as may be requested by the City. After the conclusion of this engagement, should a need arise for the Firm to respond to any subpoena, or to otherwise provide deposition or trial testimony in connection with this matter, or provide any other related services, the City shall compensate the Firm’s attorneys at their then applicable rates for time expended, including time involved in preparing for such deposition or testimony, or responding to any subpoena. The City agrees to reimburse Firm for all reasonable fees and costs incurred in obtaining necessary representation for such proceedings, including legal fees and costs that Firm incurs in preparing for such proceedings. The City shall also compensate the Firm at its then applicable rates for time expended in defending against any actual or threatened claim with respect to which an attorney is entitled to indemnification pursuant to the paragraph herein. The City understands that its obligation to pay the fees and costs does not depend on the information or testimony to be provided by the Firm.

D. Indemnification Requirements
The City agrees to defend, hold harmless, and indemnify the Firm for attorney fees, damages, or costs resulting from any claims arising out of the Firm’s work under this engagement, including, but not limited to, any claims brought by any City employee(s), former employee(s), or other individuals against the Firm or any of its attorneys or employees. Additionally, the City agrees to defend, hold harmless, and indemnify the Firm for attorney fees, damages, or costs associated with the Firm’s requested or required future cooperation with any government or law enforcement investigations or proceedings, or any other investigations or proceedings arising from the matters at issue.

We will do our best to serve the City efficiently. Attorney Shauna R. Amon will be your primary source of contact within the Firm. Shauna R. Amon will have primary responsibility for handling this matter and will use other attorneys and other members of our professional staff, such as paralegals, eDiscovery attorneys, data scientists, data statisticians, data analysts, in the Firm in the best exercise of her professional judgment. If, at any time, you have any questions, concerns, or comments, please contact Shauna R. Amon.

E. Fees
We charge for our time on an hourly basis, in one-tenth hour increments. We will invoice the City at our rates for this engagement for the work performed on the City’s behalf. Our schedule of hourly rates for attorneys and other members of our professional staff such as paralegals, eDiscovery attorneys, data scientists, data statisticians, data analysts, is based on years of experience, area of expertise, level of professional attainment and geographic location.

Currently, our Firm’s standard hourly rates in the San Diego office range from $405 to $915 for attorneys. Shauna R. Amon will be the lead investigator on this matter and has opted to provide the City with a discounted hourly rate for this work of $440 per hour. Any associates that assist Shauna R. Amon with this work will be billed at an hourly rate of $400 per hour. Our Firm’s hourly rates may be subject to periodic increases over time. Any changes in billing rates will be reflected in the invoice after any revised rates go into effect.

The Firm requires all clients to pay our invoices by wire or ACH transfer, or by check.

These instructions are listed at the bottom of the first and last pages of each invoice. The Firm does not accept payment by cryptocurrency of any sort. Our entire billing process is explained in the enclosed “A Word About Our Invoices.”
F. Client Cooperation
The City understands and agrees that, for us to represent it effectively, it is necessary for the City to assist and cooperate with the Firm. The City agrees to (1) make itself (including its employees if applicable) available to discuss issues as they arise in this matter; (2) attend and participate in meetings, preparation sessions, court proceedings and other activities in connection with the representation; (3) timely provide complete and accurate information and documents to us; (4) make timely payment to any experts or vendors retained in connection with our services; and (5) advise whether there is an agreement to arbitrate the subject claim(s), either in a stand- alone arbitration agreement, an employee handbook, an employment application or otherwise.

G. Protection of Client Confidences – Electronic Communication Devices We are always mindful of our central obligation to preserve the secrets and confidences of our clients. To that end, we must agree from the outset what kinds of communications technology we will employ during this engagement. Unless the City specifically directs us to the contrary, for this engagement, we agree that it is appropriate for us to use fax machines and email during the engagement with no encryption or other special protections. In that regard, if there is a specific email address which you would like us to use to communicate with you, other than your current City email address, please let us know. Please also notify the Firm if the City has any other requests or requirements in connection with the methods of telecommunication, or persons to be included in the circulation of documents relating to the engagement.

The Firm is committed to protecting the confidential and personal information entrusted to it and taking reasonable steps as required by law with respect to its service providers and contractors regarding compliance with applicable data privacy and security laws. By agreeing to the engagement outlined in this letter, the City consents and agrees, as applicable, to the terms and conditions of the Firm’s online privacy policy and terms of use (https://www.jacksonlewis.com/disclaimer-privacy-and-copyright) as well as the applicable data privacy and security addenda ( https://www.jacksonlewis.com/data-privacy-and-security- addenda), which are incorporated herein by reference.

H. Termination of Representation
The City may terminate this representation at any time, with or without cause. We also reserve the right to withdraw at any time to the fullest extent permitted by the applicable ethical rules. Any termination of our representation of the City would be subject to such approval as may be required from any court(s) in which we are appearing on the City’s behalf. In the event of termination by either of us, fees and costs for work performed before termination will still be payable as provided for in this letter.

Following any termination of representation, client files will be released only following delivery to the Firm of a signed release letter containing appropriate directions and an acknowledgment of the obligation to pay outstanding fees. The City will be charged for the reasonable costs of retrieval, assembly, copying, processing and transfer of all files or materials, including Electronically Stored Information (ESI).

Upon termination of representation, the Firm reserves the right to maintain the City’s legal file in electronic format only. Client files, whether in physical or electronic format, will be kept for 10 years following the close of the matter, absent a written agreement between the Firm and the City to maintain the file for a different length of time. After this period has elapsed, the file will be destroyed without further notification to the City unless applicable law or court order requires otherwise. If the City would like the Firm to return its file at any time during the 10-year retention period, please send a written request to
JLRecords&[email protected].

I. Preservation of Documentation
If notice of a claim is received by the City, the City must take immediate steps to identify, preserve and collect all relevant information until the matter is completely resolved. This information includes all paper and all Electronically Stored Information (ESI) related to the claim.

ESI includes, but is not limited to, emails and attachments, instant messages, text messages, social media postings and messages, messaging accounts or services, Workplace Collaboration Tools (including Slack, Asana, Microsoft Teams, Salesforce Chatter, Workplace Facebook, WebEx, GoToMeeting, Google Docs), voicemails, photos, videos, word processing documents, calendars, spreadsheets, PowerPoints, databases, contact manager information and Internet usage files. In addition, the ESI stored in the City’s employees’ City-issued and owned devices, including phones, tablets, and desktop computers, is likely considered within the City’s “control” and may also contain important evidence relevant to the claims in this dispute. Additionally, depending on the City’s written policies and employment agreements, ESI stored in the City’s employees’ personal devices may be considered within the City’s “control.”
The City must also immediately suspend any document retention/destruction policy and put in place a Litigation Hold. This Litigation Hold is designed to ensure that relevant electronic evidence is preserved and not destroyed, altered, modified, disposed of, or in any way Docusign Envelope ID: F00BB386-24BB-4810-BC79-FE2926C088C5 Lauren Nguyen
City of Compton

PRIVILEGED & CONFIDENTIAL

compromised. Thus, any individuals who may have relevant information or documents related to a matter must comply with this Litigation Hold.

Although this may seem like an onerous task, document retention is critical for the defense of a matter and to ensure the City complies with its legal obligation to preserve and produce relevant information. A failure to preserve documents or electronic data could have dire consequences in a matter. For example, on top of monetary sanctions, the City may be precluded from using certain evidence at trial or the court may allow a jury to draw negative inferences against the City. Under a worst-case scenario, the court may award a judgment in favor of the claimant. Therefore, if the City has any doubt about whether paper or electronic data falls within the scope of a Litigation Hold, it should err on the side of preservation and contact us.

J. Advance Conflict of Interest Waiver
Because of the size, geographical reach and the broad scope of the Firm’s legal practice, it is possible that attorneys in one or more of the Firm’s offices or departments may now or in the future represent parties in matters in which their interests are adverse to those of the City or its affiliates, or have contractual or other dealings with the City. As a condition of our representation, the City agrees that the Firm may represent other parties in matters in which their interests are adverse to those of the City or its affiliates and waives any conflict that would otherwise exist in such matters, provided that (i) any matter in which the Firm represents an adverse party is not substantially related to the Firm’s work for the City, and (ii) if appropriate, an ethical wall is created to separate the other matter from the matters the Firm is handling for the City.

K. Potential Conflicts with Third Party Service Providers The Firm represents many clients, including various third-party payroll and benefits service providers, in matters unrelated to this matter. Because of the Firm’s relationship with these service providers, it would be prohibited by the Rules of Professional Conduct from advising the City regarding any indemnification claims it may have against any service provider who is also a Firm client. Additionally, if the City desired to pursue the service provider for indemnification, such desire could create a conflict in the Firm’s continued representation of the City in connection with this matter. If at any time the City decides that it intends to explore the possibility of pursuing a service provider for indemnification, we ask that the City kindly alert the Firm so that we can take steps to determine if a conflict exists regarding our underlying defense of the City in this matter.

L. Potential Insurance Coverage
Whenever a potential claim is raised, the City should review this matter with its internal counsel, insurance broker or anyone else with whom it wishes to discuss the possibility of other insurance being applicable, e.g., employment practices liability insurance, directors and officers or other insurance policies or programs such as an excess liability insurance policy, homeowners or personal insurance or any other form or kind of insurance including workers’ compensation insurance. As employment defense counsel, the Firm cannot provide an opinion about the Docusign Envelope ID: F00BB386-24BB-4810-BC79-FE2926C088C5 Lauren Nguyen

obligation, extent, or terms of the City’s coverage. As with any insurance policy, prompt and complete notice should be given, as required by the policy and by applicable law. Failure to do so could adversely affect the existence of or eligibility for any insurance coverage.

M. Dispute Resolution
The Parties agree that any dispute between us arising out of, or relating to, this agreement, or the breach thereof, shall be resolved by binding arbitration between the Parties. This includes but is not limited to any claims regarding attorney’s fees or costs under this agreement or regarding a claim of attorney malpractice, that is, whether any legal services Jackson Lewis P.C. has rendered, under this agreement or otherwise, were improperly, negligently, or incompetently rendered, or otherwise rendered in breach of a contractual or ethical duty.

This agreement to arbitrate shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”). The procedures of the California Arbitration Act shall apply to the extent they are not preempted by the FAA and consistent with the procedures set forth in this agreement. Arbitration shall be in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA Rules”). The AAA Rules can be found at the AAA’s website (https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/CommercialRules_Web.pdf).

Please note there are certain advantages and disadvantages when submitting a dispute to an arbitral forum as compared to a judicial forum. In arbitration, the dispute will be submitted to a single arbitrator or a panel of arbitrators presiding over the issues. For purposes of this agreement, a single arbitrator will preside over any arbitration brought pursuant to this provision. In a judicial forum, the City would be entitled to a trial before a jury in a courtroom open to the public. The outcome of the arbitration generally will not be appealable and will remain confidential. In comparison, the non-prevailing party in a judicial proceeding has a right to appeal to challenge errors in the trial court and any award or verdict is a matter of public record. If a settlement results from a matter filed in a judicial forum, a confidentiality provision would be a negotiated term of the settlement. In terms of potential costs, the cost of the arbitration, including payment to the arbitrator, shall be shared by the parties, but the arbitrator shall have the right to allocate costs in the final award. With a judicial proceeding, each party bears their respective filing fees and neither pays for the services of the judge. It is also important to note the scope of discovery available in arbitration may be more limited that a judicial forum, which generally has broad discovery.

The City should review the differences between a dispute in an arbitral and judicial forum and should carefully consider whether arbitration is acceptable to it. If the City so desires, it should consult with independent counsel regarding this issue.

Notwithstanding the foregoing above, in any dispute subject to the jurisdiction of the State of California over attorneys’ fees, charges, costs or expenses, the City has the right to elect arbitration under the fee arbitration procedures of the State Bar of California, as set forth in California Business & Professions Code sections 6200, et seq. Those procedures permit a trial after fee arbitration, unless the parties agree in writing, after the dispute has arisen, to be bound by the Docusign Envelope ID: F00BB386-24BB-4810-BC79-FE2926C088C5 Lauren Nguyen

fee arbitration award. If, after receiving a notice of the City’s right to arbitrate, the City does not elect to proceed under the State Bar fee arbitration procedures and file a request for fee arbitration within 30 days, any dispute over fees, charges, costs, or expenses will be resolved by binding arbitration as provided in this section. In addition, any trial after fee arbitration shall be pursued in arbitration under subparagraph 1 as set forth above.

N. Miscellaneous Provisions
This agreement can be amended or modified only by a writing signed by you and the Firm.

This agreement shall be binding upon the Parties and our respective heirs, executors, legal representatives, successors, and assigns.

Nothing in this agreement is intended or shall be construed as impermissibly waiving or limiting the Firm’s or its attorneys’ professional obligations to the City or to the profession under the Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct adopted by the State Bar of California or other law.

Because of our ethical obligations to our clients, it would not be appropriate for the Firm to advise the City on whether to agree to the terms of this agreement. The City should make that decision independently. If the City has legal questions about this agreement or the role of Jackson Lewis in representing the City, the City may review those questions with another attorney. The City’s acceptance of the terms of this agreement will confirm that the City has made that decision independently and that the City understands its option to review its terms with other counsel of the City’s choosing.

A WORD ABOUT OUR INVOICES ...

Invoices are sent to our clients monthly or pursuant to an insurance carrier’s guidelines if applicable. The preferred method of delivery for our invoices is email. Billings for services rendered on your matter(s) and for reasonable expenses incurred on your behalf are sent about three to four weeks after the end of the month in which the work is performed.

As detailed in the engagement letter, for any threatened or actual claim, please verify whether there is insurance of any kind that may cover the actual or potential claim and if there is, please provide prompt and complete notice to us and to the insurance carrier.

Subject to applicable guidelines, we charge for all services rendered on your matter(s) including, but not limited to, telephone calls, conferences, court and agency hearings, and other proceedings. These include reimbursement for travel-related expenses, such as lodging, meals, air travel, ground travel, auto expenses, parking fees, tolls and mileage. We also bill for all photocopying costs, telephone calls, facsimiles, postage, messenger service and, if required, delivery charges where material is sent via certified or registered mail or by express mail or package carrier. If a situation arises which requires overtime work by our secretaries, we will invoice you at our cost. All third party charges (e.g., filing, trial, and court reporter fees) are the responsibility of the client and should be paid directly by the client. The cost for computerized legal research is the rate calculated by our vendor LexisNexis. Your cost is not based on the annual discount arrangement the Firm has with LexisNexis. Payment for our services and expenses described are expected upon receipt of our invoice. We are confident our clients make every effort to pay us promptly.

We do our utmost to provide quality and professional service to our clients. In return, we expect timely payment for services rendered. A monthly service charge of one and a half percent (1.5%) is added to the unpaid balance of any invoice not paid within 90 days after it is rendered.

Electronic discovery related charges will be billed directly by the vendor who provides these services. These nonlegal services and expert witness charges are provided under separate agreement between you and the vendor or expert. The non-legal services that might be necessary for electronic discovery include forensic collection of electronically stored information (“ESI”) from your computer systems, computer forensic and other technical consulting, ESI processing, ESI uploading and search/review software hosting, ESI production, training, and project management services. You are responsible for making timely payment of their invoices to avoid any disruption in our legal services.

Charges by Kroll or other e-services providers will be invoiced on our invoices or separately.

If your payment is submitted without remittance information (invoice number), the Firm will generally apply the payment to the oldest outstanding invoices first. The Firm will provide detail of how the payment was applied upon request.

The above terms will apply to each invoice unless the Firm and the client have agreed, in writing, to a modification of the billing arrangements.

Check payments should be forwarded to our lockbox. Please note the mailing address varies depending upon the method of delivery:

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

AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO MIGRATE FROM THE

CURRENT SMALL UTILITY TERM ENTERPRISE AGREEMENT AND

ENTER INTO A THREE-YEAR SMALL GOVERNMENT TERM

ENTERPRISE AGREEMENT WITH ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS
RESEARCH INSTITUTE, INC. (ESRI) IN THE AMOUNT OF $86,420 AND APPROVE THE PURCHASE OF A GIS COMPUTER SERVER;
AND ISSUE PURCHASE ORDERS TO ESRI ($86,420) AND
VERSATILE ($46,359.38) FOR GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM (GIS) SOFTWARE, SUPPORT, AND HARDWARE ($132,779.38)

SUMMARY
Adoption of this resolution will authorize the City Manager to migrate from the current Small Utility Term Enterprise Agreement to a three-year Small Government Term Enterprise Agreement (EA) with Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc. (ESRI) in the amount of $86,420. The new EA will expand access to enterprise-level geographic information system (GIS) software across all City departments, improving data integration, collaboration, and operational efficiency.

The resolution will also authorize the purchase of a dedicated GIS computer server from Versatile in the amount of $46,359.38 (includes a 5% contingency) to support Citywide GIS operations. Project costs will be shared among the Information Technology Department, Public Works Engineering Department, and Grants Management Department.

BACKGROUND
On June 25, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 26,072, authorizing the Compton Municipal Water Department to enter into a three-year Small Utility Term Enterprise Agreement with ESRI and a consulting services agreement with Pro-West & Associates to develop a GIS-based water asset management system.

While that agreement supports the Water Department’s infrastructure management needs, GIS applications have since expanded across multiple City departments. The Community Development, Public Works Engineering, Grants Management, and other departments now rely increasingly on GIS for mapping, analysis, and project tracking.

Examples of these expanding applications include:

10.10.10.10.10. Staff Report – Purchase orders to ESRI and Versatile for GIS software, support, and hardware December 23, 2025, Page 2 of 4
Mapping and analysis of council districts, zoning, and land use Tracking pavement condition index (PCI) for City streets Developing sewer, storm drain, traffic signal, and streetlight inventory maps Supporting grant applications through spatial data visualization and analysis Facilitating interdepartmental sharing and decision-making To support these broader functions, staff recommends migrating to a Small Government Term Enterprise Agreement, which provides an enterprise-wide GIS platform and shared access to tools previously limited to the Water Department.

STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The current Small Utility Term Enterprise Agreement limits GIS functionality to the Water Department. As a result, other departments have relied on separate ArcGIS Online subscriptions, leading to fragmented systems, duplicative costs, and limited data-sharing capabilities.

Migrating to the proposed Small Government Term EA will:
Enable Citywide GIS access with unlimited desktop, server, and online deployment
Integrate spatial data for water, sewer, storm drain, transportation, and community development systems
Establish scalable architecture to support mobile data collection, asset management, and public-facing dashboards

ALTERNATIVE
The City Council may elect not to authorize the migration to the proposed Small Government Term Enterprise Agreement. Under this alternative, the Water Department would continue operating under its existing Small Utility Term EA, while other departments would maintain or expand separate ArcGIS Online subscriptions.

Although this approach avoids immediate costs, it would result in:
Fragmented GIS systems across departments, limiting coordination and efficiency
Higher long-term costs due to multiple software licenses and subscriptions Slower implementation of citywide GIS tools such as pavement condition tracking and infrastructure dashboards
Limited scalability for future citywide asset management initiatives.

For these reasons, this alternative is not recommended, as it would perpetuate inefficiencies and hinder the City’s ability to establish a fully integrated, Citywide GIS platform.

The city is seeking to upgrade from their current Small Utility Enterprise Agreement (SUEA) to a Small Government Enterprise Agreement (SGEA). Due to grant funding requirements, the existing SUEA contract must remain in place, with both the contract terms and invoicing unchanged. In parallel, the city is requesting a separate quote for the incremental cost associated with the SGEA. This will result in two distinct agreements and corresponding invoices moving forward, one for the existing SUEA (to satisfy grant conditions) and one for the additional SGEA fees reflecting the expanded licensing and benefits.

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

AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ISSUE A PURCHASE ORDER

TO THE STATE WATER RESOURCES CONTROL BOARD FOR THE
ANNUAL MS4 STORM WATER PERMIT FEES IN THE AMOUNT OF
$36,393.

SUMMARY
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to issue a purchase order to the State Water Resources Control Board in an amount not to exceed $36,393 for the City’s annual Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) storm water permit fees.

BACKGROUND
Storm water is defined by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as runoff generated when precipitation flows over land or impervious surfaces without infiltrating into the ground. As storm water travels, it collects debris, chemicals, sediments, and other pollutants that can impair local waterways. In urban communities such as the City of Compton, storm water typically enters the storm drain system and discharges directly into rivers, lakes, and coastal waters without treatment.

To address these impacts, municipal storm water discharges are regulated through the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit Program, administered under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). The State Water Resources Control Board and the Regional Water Quality Control Boards implement and enforce this program statewide.

The Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board regulates MS4 discharges for Los Angeles County, including the City of Compton, through a regionwide NPDES MS4 Permit. This permit establishes requirements for storm water management, pollution reduction, monitoring, reporting, and compliance activities. All enrolled municipalities must pay annual fees that support the administration, issuance, review, and enforcement of NPDES storm water permits.

These permits and related annual fess are issued each fiscal year by the Regional Water Boards.

11.11.11. Staff Report- State Water Resource Control Board Annual Storm Water Permit December 23, 2025, Page 2 of 2

STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
The City of Compton is required to maintain enrollment under the MS4 NPDES storm water permit program and pay the associated annual fees to the State Water Resources Control Board. The Public Works Engineering Department has received the annual invoice for FY 2025–2026 in the amount of $36,393.

Payment of these fees is mandatory for continued participation in the MS4 Program and for compliance with federal and state storm water regulations. Staff is therefore requesting City Council authorization to issue a purchase order in the required amount.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
Sufficient Funds are available in the Public Works Engineering Department’s FY 2025– 2026 budget as follows:

Funding Source Account No. Amount
Measure W 1529-710-000-4262 $ 36,393

ALTERNATIVE
There are no viable alternatives. Payment of the annual MS4 permit fees are required to maintain regulatory compliance with federal and state storm water laws.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the accompanying resolution authorizing the City Manager to issue a purchase order to the State Water Resources Control Board in the amount of $36,393 for the City’s annual MS4 Storm water permit fees.

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

APPOINTING A MEMBER AND ALTERNATE(S) TO THE GOVERNING

BOARD OF THE LOS ANGELES GATEWAY REGION INTEGRATED

REGIONAL WATER MANAGEMENT JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY

SUMMARY
This Resolution authorizes the appointment of a primary member and alternate(s) to represent the City of Compton on the governing board of the Los Angeles Gateway Region Integrated Regional Water Management Joint Powers Authority (commonly known as the Gateway Water Management Authority, or GWMA).

BACKGROUND
The Gateway Water Management Authority (GWMA) is a Joint Powers Authority (JPA) composed of local government agencies across the Gateway region in Southeast Los Angeles County. Formed in 2007, the GWMA addresses key regional water issues, including water supply reliability, water quality, wastewater management, stormwater capture, and flood control. The GWMA serves a population of more than two million residents and coordinates watershed planning among cities, water agencies, and regional stakeholders, including a seaport.

On June 18, 2019, through Resolution No. 24,041, the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute a Joint Powers Agreement with the GWMA and to remit the City’s annual membership fee of $15,000.

On November 1, 2022, through Resolution No. 25,744, the City Council appointed the former Water General Manager to serve as the City’s primary GWMA Board Member, with the former City Engineer, the Mayor, and the District 2 Councilmember designated as the alternate members. GWMA Board Members and alternates serve two-year terms beginning October 1 of each odd-numbered year and concluding on September 30 two years later.

To continue the City’s participation, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 26,273 on June 24, 2025, authorizing the City Manager to execute an Amended and Restated Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement with the GWMA.

13.13.13. Staff Report – GWMA Membership Appointments
December 23, 2025, Page 2 of 2

STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
In accordance with the GWMA Joint Powers Agreement, each member agency must appoint one representative to serve on the Governing Board and may appoint up to three alternates. If both the primary and alternates are unable to attend a scheduled meeting, the chief executive (e.g., City Manager) or assistant chief executive may designate a representative in writing once per year to attend and participate as a voting member for that meeting.

Board Members and alternates serve at the pleasure of the City Council and may be replaced at any time by action of the City Council. Vacancies are filled in the same manner as the original appointment. GWMA Board Members receive no compensation for attending meetings.

Per GWMA Bylaws (adopted October 12, 2015), all non-legislative body appointments must be made by resolution, while legislative body appointments may be made by minute order. Therefore, City Council authorization by resolution is required to confirm the appointments.

ALTERNATIVE
As representation on the GWMA Governing Board is a condition of membership, no alternative action is proposed.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with the appointment of GWMA Board Members and alternates.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution appointing one primary member and alternate(s) to represent the City of Compton on the Governing Board of the Los Angeles Gateway Region Integrated Regional Water Management Joint Powers Authority (GWMA).

NONCOMPLIANCE WITH TIMELY EXPENDITURE REQUIREMENTS

SUMMARY
Adopting this resolution will authorize the City Manager to reallocate available and unspent CDBG and HOME funds from FY 2018-2024 to priority eligible activities that support community development, housing rehabilitation, public services and HUD approved affordable housing initiatives. Reallocation is necessary to ensure HUD timeliness compliance, optimize program delivery and align remaining funds with current operational needs

BACKGROUND
The City of Compton receives annual allocations of CDBG and HOME funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Over multiple program years (2018–2024), several projects experienced delays and scope changes, that resulted in unspent balances tied to past fiscal years.

HUD requires that entitlement jurisdictions obligate and expend funds in a timely manner. As of this report date, reallocating older-year funds will further support the City’s progress in:
 Reducing the CDBG timeliness ratio,
 Expanding eligible housing activities under HOME,
 Completing capital projects already prioritized in the City’s Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plans.

Reallocation of prior-year funds is permissible under HUD rules provided the new uses are CDBG/HOME eligible, meet a national objective, and are amended into the Annual Action Plan via Council approval.

STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The City must reallocate prior year CDBG and HOME funds (2018-2024) due to delays, stalled projects and unspent balances that place the City at risk of non-compliance with HUD’s timeliness and expenditure requirements. Several previously approved activities are no longer feasible or have not progressed, while other eligible programs such as housing rehabilitation corrections, Meals on Wheels, Employment Training Program, Park Improvements and HOME eligible programs are ready for immediate implementation.

Reallocation is necessary to ensure timely expenditure, prevent potential recapture of funds and align federal resources with current City priorities and shovel-ready projects.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no impact to the City’s General Fund. All CDBG and HOME reallocation expenditures will be charged to the respective CDBG and HOME accounts associated with the prior-year balances from FY 2018-2024:

WITH INNOVATIVE PLAYGROUNDS CO., INC, AND TO ESTABLISH A

PURCHASE ORDER FOR THE FIG & OLEANDER PARK PLAYGROUND

SUMMARY
Adoption of the attached resolution will authorize the City Manager to accept the estimate of Innovative Playgrounds Co., Inc. in the amount of Two Hundred Forty-Three Thousand Six Hundred Sixty-Three Dollars and Thirty-Six Cents ($243,663.36), to enter into a construction contract to provide specified construction services for the Fig & Oleander Park Playground Improvement Project, to authorize and to establish a purchase order for Innovative Playgrounds Co., Inc. in the amount of $243,663.36.

BACKGROUND
The City of Compton’s Recreation Department provides resources which meet the needs of the community through highly accessible, enjoyable and varied opportunities for learning and recreation.

STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The Parks Maintenance Department does not employ personnel with the skills or qualifications to install playground equipment; thus, in November 2025 staff researched Sourcewell for this project to secure a qualified contractor and selected Innovative Playgrounds Co., Inc.

Sourcewell is a State of Minnesota local government agency and service cooperative created under the laws of the State of Minnesota (Minnesota Statutes Section 123A.21) that offers cooperative procurement solutions to government entities. Participation is open to Federal, State/Province, and Municipal Governmental entities, higher education, K-12 education, nonprofit, tribal government, and other public entities located in the United States and Canada. The City of Compton is a Sourcewell participating agency. As a participating agency with Sourcewell, the City of Compton does not need to complete the bidding process.

FISCAL IMPACT
Funds in the amount of Two Hundred Forty-Three Thousand Six Hundred Sixty-Three Dollars and Thirty-Six Cents ($243,663.36) are available in Grants Department Contract Services 2025-2026 Fiscal Year Budget in Account No. 2800-540-N64-4266.
