City Manager Hopkins noted that these are only staff recommendations, there are a series of things that these funds are eligible for. He indicated that these are things that he worked with staff on and reached the conclusion that some projects can be engaged quickly.
Missy announced that the Arceneaux Park on Wilmington Ave needs a lot of tender loving care.
She asked if they could use some of the money to rehab that park. She asked will they be using any of the funds for the Council Chambers. She stated they used money for the chambers once before but it’s still not in compliance. She asked if they could use some of the money for a pantry in the city. She recommended United Hands as being their food pantry because they give out a significant amount of food weekly.
Marjorie Shipp from district three noted that the grants date back to 2018, why are they just now using the money. She reported there’s a park by Kennedy Elementary School that is not very well kept. She asked if they could use the money for that park. She asked where on Greenleaf are the rec places going to be implemented.
Maria Villareal from Compton Latino Chamber of Commerce inquired about the money not being spent from 2018 to now. She stated the have been mentioning funds for small business for a while now, where are the funds for the small businesses. They had the Meals on Wheels Program before.
Are they giving the local restaurants in Compton the opportunity to participate in the program or will they use the same one they have been using every year.
Mark Smith stated he missed half of the presentation however he wanted to address the 2700 W.
Alondra block, the toxic dump. He asked why they are not cleaning up the waste. The problem has not been dealt with for over thirty or forty years. The public is more at risk because they continue to dump there.
Lynn Boone stated she has a problem with why the funds have not been brought up before now. she asked if they had all of the funds left over where were they because they don’t show in the Treasurers Department or the budget. Where have they been kept and/or who has been holding them, so no one knew about them. She noted the different allocations are just too general. She stated the VFW needs to be torn down completely. She requested that each allocation be looked at a little deeper. The Sheriff’s Department is not listed but they all know something is wrong with that building.
Fidel Marquez from district one noted if they are going to spend that kind of money on the Greenleaf Parkway Project or any other parks or projects, they need to learn how to keep up the maintenance or it will be a waste of money. He asked if some of the money could be allocated to seniors because they are experiencing tough times especially with their insurance premiums going up. He asked if they could allocate more money for Meals or Wheels or have some type of bill 4 assistance for them because right now seniors will be debating on whether they are going to pay their utilities or eat. We need to take care of our seniors.
Mr. Woods clarified, as it relates to the Greenleaf Parkway Project, it will be the west side of Greenleaf between Wilmington and Central right in front of Walton Middle School. There are three sites there, on the east side between Long Beach Blvd. and Santa Fe, those are also three sites. In regard to the Pocket Park across from the Compton Airport there has been no discussion in regard to that spot. In the presentation he never mentioned anything concerning the Council Chambers, he said City Hall restrooms. As for the pantry a resident mentioned United Hands, the city gave United Hands $25,000.00 a month ago. As far as spent funds dating back to 2019, as he mentioned those funds were unused prior years therefore the city has spent funds but there were other projects that they probably allocated that probably went dormant and those are the funds they are currently reallocated. Under Economic Development he mentioned a Business Dissolve Program however that has not been developed or implemented. Meals on Wheels have been going on delivering twice a week on Tuesday and Fridays. They sent out an RFP, but they only received two responses. Unfortunately, there’s nothing they can do about that. 2700 W. Alondra is not ready to launch. As for where the money came from and the city holding money, the Federal government, as it relates to HUD, doesn’t give the city upfront money everything is reimbursable. He is not sure what’s going on with the Sheriff’s department therefore he can’t comment on that.
Mayor Sharif asked if some of the funds could be used for Elements Park.
Councilmember Duhart noted that through the Homeowner Rehabilitation Program for the Seniors she would like to see those funds used for roofing, replacing windows and installation.
There is a park in district one on Oleander called Ores and Fig the park is neglected. She asked if they could update some of the apparatus equipment for the children. The parks have four or five community centers. She would like to see those facilities upgraded. She doesn’t think enough money is being allocated for the Homebuyer Assistance program. She would like to repurpose that amount. The park Ms. Shipp is referring to is Element Park.
Councilmember Spicer stated he one hundred percent agree with the Homebuyer Assistance Program he would like to repurpose those funds as well. Under Public Facilities and Infrastructure, he thinks the bus stops need to be improved.
Mr. Woods noted that at the last presentation he mentioned buying equipment to upgrade and that it is underway as they speak.
City Manager Hopkins announced that the new equipment for the bus stops are in the courtyard.
Councilmember Spicer indicated he would like to see new exercise equipment at Lueders Park.
Cesar Chavez Park needs restroom facilities. He would like to see more arts and murals that represent the city’s history, humidity and culture. The Sheriff’s Department could probably use some upgrades. He asked under the Homeowners Rehabilitation Program whether they would be obligated to replace pipes.
Mr. Woods explained that the distinctive difference between using CDGB funds and HOME funds in the rehab is that if they use CDGB funds they can say we would like to do our roofs and that’s eligible they can just do their roofs. Under HOME funds the minute they touch the home and if there are any other deficiencies, they must address it.
Councilmember Spicer stated he would stick with the roofs and add driveways. Under Public Service they can scale the Meals on Wheels Program they should probably consider partnering with the school district and the college on intern programs to get more young people engaged. He would like to see more resource programs for mental health, drug use and youth. The VFW is an old building, is it worth upgrading.
Mr. Wood noted that he and the Interim Director, Mr. Scott, visited the VFW last week. It definitely needs a new roof, new flooring, lighting and interior paint. In addition, it definitely has to be tested for lead base paint and asbestos things of that nature.
Councilmember Spicer suggested they do an assessment of the building before spending any money on it.
5 Mr. Woods indicated that the City Manager has mentioned doing that and yes it will probably take place first.
Councilmember Bowers asked if they could invest in more portable cameras. As for Meals on Wheels and Seniors Programs, he thinks they should have programs at other parks for them. A place other than Dollarhide. They are going to be redoing Tucker Park. He doesn’t know where the funds will come from, but it would be a good idea to have a senior program and feed them there, as well as Burrell MacDonald. Element Park is in bad shape. Raymond Street Park and the Campfire Girls ground need to be face lifted. As for the Homeowner Rehabilitation Program, how are the people selected for any of the programs.
Mr. Woods replied they open it up to an application process and it’s always first come first serve and who meets eligibility requirements.
Councilmember Spicer noted that Tragniew Park is slated for a restroom. Perhaps they could put more money into upgrading the medians in the city.
Councilmember Darden asked if they could transfer some of the funds from the Tenant-Based Rental Program to the Homebuyers Assistance Program because they have a lot of new buildings being built in the city. They want to encourage people to relocate to the City of Compton. She noted that the restrooms in South Park are inoperable.
Councilmember Bowers noted that the Compton Creek was supposed to be redone. They were going to put some kind of substance down for the horses.
Councilmember Spicer asked if there was anything in the works for the monument on the corner of Willowbrook and Compton Blvd. They should definitely invest in that.
City Manager Hopkins stated he would take a look at the monument he is referencing.
Mayor Sharif added there is supposed to be a crossing on Alondra where the horses cross the street. She asked if they could take a look to see if the funds could be used for that purpose because they do not want anyone on horses crossing the street to get hit and they don’t want anyone to get injured in the process.
City Manager Hopkins noted that based on their discussion and recommendations staff will go back and look at the reallocation and come back and present in another round.
On Motion by Spicer, seconded by Duhart, the Public Hearing was closed at 6:40 pm by the following vote on roll call:
AYES: Councilmembers – Duhart, Spicer, Bowers, Darden Mayor Sharif NOES: Councilmembers – None
ABSENT: Councilmembers – None
PUBLIC COMMENTS ON AGENDA ITEMS AND NON-AGENDA MATTERS
Janna Zurita stated she is there on behalf of the Jarvis Taxpayers Association. She was forced to come tonight on behalf of her 90-year-old mother. Her mother called 911 on October 27, 2025.
The Sheriffs have not come to this day. Her mother was in distress at about 5:30am and called 911 because she thought someone was trying to get enter her home. Instead of dispatch staying on the phone with her till the police got there, they took the report, hung up and never sent anyone out.
She feels that she is a good navigator, she has called the Sheriff’s Department four times and still hasn’t received a return call. She just learned that calls are not sent up to the Captain’s Office and her experience with the city is that Captains were accessible to the public and were the bridge builders, but you can’t even get a call to the captain. If this happened to her with her experience in dealing with city issues, she can only imagine how the seniors and citizens are being treated. In her mom’s seventy years of paying taxes in the City of Compton that was the first time she had ever called 911 and couldn’t get any service. If you have law abiding citizens that have paid taxes for over eighty years and can’t get a response that’s a problem. She knows the Council is not going to answer her, but she is hoping that they do have a Contract Manager. If they are paying for 6 seventeen deputies on the shifts they need to make sure, they have them seventeen deputies so it’s very important to have a Contract Manager. She would like to request on behalf of the taxpayers, homeowners and seniors of Compton to bring back a clear presentation on the water bills. She is still very engaged in the community and people often call her for help, but she can’t help them with this because she does know herself. When the seniors receive their water bills how do they receive a current bill and the late charge is already factored in the bill. Someone needs to explain what the $15 late fee is for, when they have a current bill. Did the bathroom at Sebring ever get fixed? Did the water-well ever get fixed?
Brent Rivas stated that he was there on behalf of the City of Compton’s Recreation Department to share details about the 70 th Annual Christmas Parade. They invite the public to join them on December 13, 2025, at 11am as they celebrate this milestone event. The parade will showcase 100 participants ranging from high school bands, equestrian groups and dance teams. This year they are proud to welcome The Game as Grand Marshal. The parade will begin at Compton Blvd. and Bullis Road and travel west along Compton Blvd. then conclude at Alameda Street. For more information or questions contact the Recreation Department at 310-605-5688.
Kimberly Woods VP at Neighborhood Housing Services. They have a five-month EMT Program where they train young people from eighteen to twenty-six years of age and they pay them a $1500.00 per month stipend. Davontray Henson, a student from Texas stated he heard about the program at the time he was in a shelter. They give them gas cards and food. He passed his test today with a 93. He is grateful for the program. Ms. Woods stated that they pay his rent every month. They are currently recruiting and wanted to bring it to Council to help get the word out.
Councilmember Spicer asked how do they apply.
Kimbery Woods replied through an application process. They have to be eighteen to twenty-six years old, no felonies, and must have a driver’s license. They can visit comptonems.corp.org for more information. She thanked Councilmember Duhart for attending their family light.
Mayor Sharif thanked Ms. Woods for coming in to share this special opportunity with the community. She was not taking anything from the men, but she was excited to see women actively participating in the program because it is an amazing program.
Kimberly Woods stated it is for men and women.
Lashawn Coleman, a volunteer with a group called CJEC. She’s there to ask the city to fully implement SB515. SB515 is now state law. It requires every city and county in California to update their forms and data systems so residents and employees can identify as descendants of the slaved Black Americans. This is about visibility and accuracy. Implementing SB515 ensures their policies truly match the needs of descendant communities and CJEC is ready to support the city with training and templates to make implementation smooth. Compton can set the standard for fairness, visibility and fairness in California.
Carolyn Essex grew up in Compton. She’s there representing seniors and her organization, the Coalition for Just and Equitable California. She’s asking for their support for SB515 that was signed into law by Governor Newson. The bill will direct the identification of the descendants of those enslaved and emancipated in the U.S.A so that when SB518 becomes operational they will have begun to identify descendants of enslaved Africans and Americans.
Maria Villareal lives in district one, works in district three and her office is in district two. As a community organizer she sees a lot of things they don’t see. District one to Lynwood there is a lot of prostitution and graffiti. District one there is an empty lot with the grass taller than her and trash is all over. Are they looking to clean Compton. They have companies they are paying to clean up Compton, but they don’t see any progress. Agenda item number nine concerning the Clean Team Program will make the city look so clean and welcoming so Compton could identify as a safe, clean and welcoming city.
Dexter Oconnell stated they need a safe place for the youth. He asked them to support programs for young people. Encourage LACASA staff and fellow board members to support young people intentionally and thoroughly. Encouraged Housing Authority to participate in the federal FYI Voucher Program for current and former foster youth.
7 Mark stated he is very passionate about youth. He is very pleased to see the sharing of power, resources and responsibility. He applauded the City Council and the EMS Corps Program. He thanked City Manager for mitigating the hazard that was about to happen by having the signs placed. They need their LVT back. He doesn’t like to present himself as if he is always complaining but when is the Alondra property going to be a priority. Please consider fixing the problem or coming together before they are not council.
Tanya thanked the Council for the clean team that’s going to come to Compton to get the city cleaned up. She mentioned that Councilmember Spicer asked if there would be some money allocated for the monument on Willowbrook. She asked who in the hell gets a titty lift. Did you get a titty lift, a butt lift, a mommy makeover because it was sent to her phone that he used the city credit card to get a fixer upper, so he needs to get up and model for them. She noted people look at the Council and they know what’s going on in the city. She wants him to answer the question before she leaves, did he get a mommy make over. She asked the City Manager to ask him.
Councilmember Spicer responded your question is if I got a mommy make over and I’m supposed to answer that?
Missy stated that the Council go into closed session, but they never have anything to report. She asked if they were going to keep Perrodin here or let him go because every time he’s on the agenda there is nothing to report. Will item number six be open competitor or outside? She addressed Councilmember Spicer indicating that on his credit card there is a $4335.54 charge that shows a mommy makeover for $1400.00, shopping at Target, Rite Aid, Amazon and the That One Bakery.
The mommy makeover really bothered her because it was not city business. With that being said she asked the City Manager to have him step down from his position because if he was abusing taxpayer credits cards he didn’t need to be up there. Why is he allowed to use taxpayers’ money by way of credit card as he pleases.
Fidel Marquez from district one notified the City Manager there’s two craters going south on Central before the 91 freeway. They cover them every time it rains. Can he please have somebody order the right stuff to cover it? They need something to bond the material together. He can’t give the city another dime for tearing up his car with the crater. He had to avoid two accidents. He doesn’t want to sue the city but something major is going to happen at that intersection. Public Safety is a huge issue. He has been there all his life, and he has never seen the city in this condition as far as public safety. They need to get the city under control, and they need to do it right. They need to put a moratorium on housing. He attended the planning commission meeting last week and there were no councilmembers there. This is not the time for more housing. He questions why developers are brought to the city, but not businesses. The Council makes policy, not plans events like turkey or Christmas giveaways. These events cost taxpayers.
Vanessa Cain indicated she agreed with what Maria said as far as the clean-up. They have to get more aggressive and start issuing fines to people for the lack of upkeep to their homes. A lot of it is from the citizens. She addressed City Attorney Perrodin advising him that he needs to bring charges against Andre Spicer. He should do that for the citizens. She stated he put Omar in jail for a bowl of oatmeal here’s a man that spent $1500 at Jason Martin for breast augmentation or whatever has been done for him, his lover his wife or whoever. A bowl of oatmeal compared to all of that and he’s still sitting there. She wants him off the dais. She told Attorney Perrodin if he wants some revenge remove that nigga! She stated she was mad about it because he did it to somebody that was building their city. You broke him down to nothing and she’s asking that they re-hire Omar Bradley, the only decent Mayor they have had who stood up for them, however for a bowl of oatmeal you put him in jail and you let this trash sit there. Remove him, he’s there illegally anyway. She advised Mr. Perrodin that she would back him and help him remove Councilmember Spicer.
Lynn Boone stated she is in agreement with the speakers regarding credit cards. She doesn’t have the credit card documents, she’s waiting for invoices. She wants to address the City Manager regarding the response he wrote to a citizen who filed a complaint with the City Attorney. The District Attorney told her what they are supposed to do because that’s their law enforcement in the city. Nowhere does it say anything about this City Manager being our law enforcement. You guys are constantly violating the Charter by allowing someone else to do the job of an elected official and the duties are in the charter. This City Manager wrote as if to say that the City Attorney 8 shouldn’t be conducting investigations. She looked up the job duties in702 of the City Attorney.
She read the duties in 702. She asked the City Attorney Perrodin if there had been a successor to his office, yet they allow the City Manager, an outsider, to come in and remove stuff from the office of an elected official that they are paying. They allow the City Manager to hire other law firms to do what they are paying this City Attorney to do. They allow the City Manager to spend money like water and the city is not up to par. What the City Manager is doing is illegal. Not one of them had anything to do with hiring him, they were not even invited to the interview. It is unfair to the people of Compton to continue to allow him to keep do what’s he’s doing. It is a waste of taxpayers’ money.

On November 21, 2026, she is hosting the Annual Urban Hoe Down with seniors including Bobby Harden from 11am to 2pm. Admission is $20 but they are already sold out. She encouraged residents to set their bulky items out and call Republic Services forty-eight hours in advance at 800-299-4898 to schedule a pick-up. She wished Ms. Patricia Maloney, who works at Dollarhide, a Happy Birthday. Her birthday was November 8 th, Mark Smith, his birthday was November 16 th, Reney Bowen the hardest working volunteer’s birthday was today. Mr. Craig Henry, who served on the Personnel Board, today is his birthday and her granddaughter Mylia Smalley as well. She addressed City Manager Hopkins, indicating many months ago she approached him and asked that they do a workshop regarding Compton water bills. She would be most happy to assist him with that because she has a lot of information. She asked can they look at doing a workshop in the near future.
Councilmember Bowers offered the following communications/announcements:
He acknowledged that last Tuesday our nation observed Veterans Day on the 11th. On behalf of 3rd district, he extended his deepest gratitude to all Veterans and to the men and women currently serving in our Armed Forces.
He wants to take a moment and honor his father and his service to this country. He fought in World War II, South Pacific, Guam and other countries. He is now at rest. The hardships he endured, the sacrifices he made and the resilience he demonstrated continue to shape his own understanding of service and responsibility. His experience is a reminder of the weight many of our Veterans carry long after their service ends. He offers this tribute to his father and every family that has supported and loved the one in uniform. This past Saturday he hosted an end of the year Town Hall Meeting for the third district.
He wanted to extend his appreciation to every resident who participated. There were several subjects discussed as it relates to city business. He extended a heartfelt thank you to the volunteers and partners that made this past Saturday’s Turkey Giveaway a success. Thank you for demonstrating true service and unity. Special thanks to Code Enforcement officers who worked tirelessly throughout the day ensuring a smooth event delivery.
He honored the life and legacy of Dr. Akil Basheer Founder and Executive Director of the Bill Program and the Professional Community Intervention Training Institute who recently passed. Dr. Basheer was a true family man, extraordinary husband, father visionary, community leader, practitioner, nationally respected trainer and anti-violence interrupter.
We send our deepest prayers and thoughts to his family during this difficult time. Dr.
Basheer will be deeply missed, and it was an honor to know him personally. Thank you all and let us continue moving forward together in spirit of community unity. Informed City Manager Hopkins there were unsightly trailers parked in district three, four and two. What can they do to address that issue.
City Manager Hopkins indicated he would do some research and get back to him. He can tell him from experience that it is a very difficult process in the State of California to get rid of them. There is an extensive relocation process that’s required and if you omit any 13 steps from that process it could lead to litigation that will keep it tied up for a very long time.
Councilmember Bowers also informed him that the sewers at Alondra and Central are in need of cleaning.
Councilmember Darden forgot to mention that Alma’s Place will be celebrating her 10 Year Anniversary on November 22, 2026, from 12 noon to 3pm.

Thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Compton Pageant for its ongoing dedication to mentoring, professional development and creating opportunities for the next generation.
Councilmember Spicer offered the following communications/announcements:
He started with the elephant in the room; his credit card charges. There was a $1400 charge for an event they did in June with rapper Problem whose name is also Jason Martin.
Apparently, someone did a Google search and found a Jason Martin, MD as a Board- Certified Plastic Surgeon and just assumed he got a body makeover. He doesn’t know how that came together but it was another swing and miss.
On November 22, 2026, they will be hosting a Turkey Giveaway at Pocket Park, located at 211 N. Long Beach Blvd. at 1pm in conjunction with his office, St. John Services and Sylvia Nunn Angels.

Have a wonderful evening God Bless,

PRESENTATIONS

(COMPLETED AFTER PUBLIC COMMENTS DUE TO CITY TREASURER
MIMS’ TARDINESS)
PUBLIC COMMENTS ON AGENDA ITEMS AND NON-AGENDA MATTERS
Anthony Lewis stated that on November 18, 2025, Turmel Grants Manager of the city, spoke regarding the $7,570,353.48 CDGB Grant and Home Grant. He named eleven organizations that he felt would benefit from the grants. He made suggestions on what amount certain organizations should receive. He suggested that the Council look out for senior citizen renovations at 1320 S.
Cliveden, 1405 S. Cliveden and 1401 S. Cliveden. He wished City Clerk Zurita a Happy Birthday.
Rodney Lister noted that he follows the Beautification Committee for the city. He asked if it was possible to find out when recommendations and suggestions were made on what should be done to beautify certain parts of the city. He asked how those things were implemented. He noted that they did a great job on 156 th and Wilmington repairing the street, however the trash came right back. He stated a lot of lots are fenced off on Compton Blvd. but there is still trash there.
Mr. Kenzie thanked everyone for being there today. He wants to keep Compton beautiful. He suggested that the vacant lot on the corner of Temple and Caldwell be fixed up for the seniors to walk around and sit down. He stated they should try and control the situation on Pauline and Long Beach Blvd. He just doesn’t want it to be like Figueroa. He stated they need a signal light on the corner of Caldwell and Pauline because he heard one of the crossing guards almost got hit by a car.
Abril addressed Councilmember Spicer, Councilmember Duhart and Mayor Sharif indicating she posted content on social media regarding the removal of Mr. Bishop and she’s still waiting for them to place it on the agenda. If not, she will be forced to go to the Board of Supervisors. She requested that the Council review FPPC regulation 18420.1 and the Political Reform Act. She noted as they are headed into campaign season, she sees people on the dais that need to review their social media accounts. They are still under the jurisdiction of the State of California and Federal laws. She indicated that as they move into the election season she hopes they make it a fair process for everyone running for office. She stated the City of Compton deserves to have a fair election. She wants to feel proud and say they are all equal and there is equality in the community.
Tanya Lewis From first district noted she did not see anyone from Public Works there. She thanked the Council for what was done in the community. She indicated they are going to work on 137th and 138th street shortly. She stated that two weeks ago someone got on Instagram and said that the citizens were stupid. She has heard that too many times because City Attorney Perrodin called them stupid months ago, and two weeks ago Councilmember Spicer was on Instagram and called the citizens of Compton stupid. He was even talking negatively about the Mayor. She indicated he’s the stupid one because it’s all on phones and TV. She asked the City Manager to provide all of Councilmember Spicer’s credit card bills. She stated there was a man that left by the
5. 2
name of Thomas Thomas, who abused the credit card and left them with the bill. She and all the citizens tuned in by television would like to see Councilmember Spicer be placed on the board because there is no way he went to Pops Chicken and did not have $16 in his pocket yet he’s trying to run for Mayor. She stated that she and the citizens would like to see all of Councilmember Spicer’s statements from the time he received a credit card.
Missy Barbara read for the record, dear Mayor Sharif, City Manager Hopkins and City Attorney Perrodin. She requested the filing of a formal complaint regarding possible misuse of the city credit card by Councilmember Andre Spicer. She had concerns that certain transactions may comply with Penal Code 424 Misappropriation of Public Funds, the AB1234 Ethics requirements and the Government Code 1090 Conflict of Interest. She respectfully requested that the City conduct an internal audit of all transactions made on his credit card. Last week when Jason Martin was on the statement, she knew who Jason Martin was, she just wanted Councilmember Spicer to admit to the public, the FBI and everyone else that he used the credit card to pay for Jason Martin’s travel expenses to travel to Compton for the Father and Daughter Dance. She named different establishments where Councilmember Spicer used the credit card. She indicated they have been watching him come up to the dais high off marijuana.
Fidel Marquez from District one advised City Manager Hopkins that this weekend he witnessed a lot of dumping especially along Central Ave. He noted the trash can at Central and Piru had overflowed and someone dumped a lot of clothes, etc. in the street. He asked City Manager Hopkins if he could have someone pick it up. He demanded that the Council take action regarding the misappropriation of taxpayer’s money. He sent out a censorship and received no response back.
He indicated that when Omar went to jail regarding some oatmeal and some movies the whole Council and City Manager followed him to jail. He would hate to see that happen to them for remaining silent. He stated that when someone remains silent, they are complicit to thievery. He listed some of the purchases Councilmember Spicer made on the credit card. He noted they live in a country where there is freedom of speech therefore it is their constitutional right to say what they want as long as they are not threatening or bashing anyone.
Mark Smith indicated that he noticed when they address the Council, they have their heads down.
He asked them to please look at them. He thanked the Council because he saw a tick down on the street takeovers with the calming devices. Thanks for the facelift of the Downtown ornaments.
They do not want to see the erosion of trust that they put in them through misappropriation or mismanagement of the credit card and its misuse. They had the credit card problem before and are now revisiting it. The Council has a fiduciary responsibility that they check each other. They need to be mindful of what they do with taxpayers’ money no matter how small, they entrust it to them.
He did not appreciate the Mayor being disrespected on social media.
Gilda Bluford addressed Councilmember Spicer advising them that she feel in her core that the charges that he made were approved. Who approved them and what they were based on she doesn’t know. She doesn’t think he would arbitrarily do that. The fraud she wants to discuss is Mark Puckett. She asked why does Mark Puckett has a credit card in the City of Compton with $8968.54 of charges? Mr. Puckett, to her understanding, did not work in the City of Compton in the year 2025 therefore she doesn’t understand why he has a credit card and why his credit card has said charges. She stated that it is indeed fraud. She has contacted several people to deal with it because they cannot give a credit card based on the policy that they all signed and agreed too. They cannot give a credit card to someone else to use and she doesn’t know how the Council did not catch it when they received the credit cards statement. She requested that they stop campaigning, fund raising and do their job as elected officials because what Mr. Puckett did exceed what Councilmember Spicer did.
Lynn Boone addressed City Attorney Perrodin indicating that she has a problem with the credit card statements. They are not the same. The card is supposed to be on US Bank however she’s looking at the invoices and US Bank goes from one side of the page to the other on different invoices a month apart not years apart. She feels there is some fraud with the invoices. She would like an investigation to take place but not by City Manager Hopkins by City Attorney Perrodin since they are paying him. She pointed out that under the resolution, the reimbursement package letter D states that violations should be reported to the official City Attorney not the City Manager.
She wanted the people to know that the night they voted on using the credit cards she said it would be an issue, but they gave all of their authority to the City Manager. She stated that the misuse of the credit cards falls back on the City Manager and Council. She stated this is one of the weakest 3 Council’s they have ever had. She informed Councilmember Spicer it’s not just the Mayor it’s him as well.
Tony Ward gave an update on the Permit Parking Program indicating they are less than thirty days out from enforcement. He noted that in September staff went out and personally hand delivered over four hundred flyers to the homes in the Richland Farms area. At the end of September there was a Townhall Meeting held in district three regarding the Parking Program.
They begin accepting applications in the first week of October, and from October to November Public Works began replacing all of the signage needed to begin enforcement. As of today, they have only processed thirty-one permits. That’s a large number of people that have not come in to apply and complete the process. He encouraged the public to apply online or in person but do so quickly. He urged them to complete the process to get their parking permits because enforcement is scheduled to begin January 1, 2026.
Councilmember Bowers asked how do they apply on line.
Toney Ward explained that they go to the city website under business license tab, click on the Permit Parking tab and fill out the information. If they have any questions, they can contact the Business License Department at 310-605-5508.
Mayor Sharif announced that the city recently became aware of an improper disclosure of certain financial records protecting the confidentiality of city information and maintaining public trust. In accordance with their legal obligations the municipal law division has initiated a formal review of the city’s credit card program to determine whether any misuse occurred, whether any safeguards were compromised and how the financial records were disclosed. This review will be conducted thoroughly, impartially and guided solely by the facts, applicable policy and law. Because this is an active and legally sensitive matter, they are limited in what they can share publicly. They appreciate the community’s understanding as the review moves through the proper legal channels.
City services will continue without interruption, and their prompt responsible action is essential to good government. She thanked everyone for being there and their comments.

COUNCIL COMMENTS
Councilmember Darden offered the following communications/announcements:
On November 20, 2025, she attended the 2025 State of the City Address for Lynwood with several Council members.
On November 21, 2025, she hosted the Annual Urban Hoedown with seniors including Bobby Harden at the Dollarhide Community Center. There were over one hundred in attendance. She thanked Mayor Sharif and Councilmember Duhart for attending and helping to make the event such a joyful experience for the senior community. On November 22, 2025, she had the pleasure and privilege of attending the Miss and Mr.
Compton Pageant 2025 at Dollarhide Community Center. She congratulated all the participants and parents that supported their children. She commended Shanise for doing a wonderful job, it was a beautiful affair. One of the contestants she sponsored was one of the winners.
5 On November 22, 2025, she attended the Annual Southern California Junior Cricket Academy Awards Banquet. She was the guest of Mr. Mustafa Kohn, the founder of the Cricket Program based at Kelly Park.
On November 23, 2025, she assisted with distributing food giveaway packages donated by Anthony Anderson and the Anderson Foundation at Dollarhide Community Center, alongside Anthony Anderson and Mayor Sharif. They greeted people in need and provided complete meals that fed up to four individuals.
On Thanksgiving Day, she took part in the Annual Food Giveaway provided by Explorer One Ambulance Services located on Compton Blvd. and Burris Ave. in District four. She also participated alongside a young group called One West One Vision, a grab and go event where they served Thanksgiving meals to at least one hundred people. She thanked her staff Dean, the two of them along with other volunteers delivered Thanksgiving turkeys to many families in the City of Compton. Special thanks to Mr. Hay Calleja for donating four hundred turkeys on her behalf to her community. Another special thanks to Gary and Kathy of Grocery Outlet for the major role they played in the event. Remember they need to keep their city safe, clean and always be friendly.
Councilmember Bowers offered the following communications/announcements:
He addressed concerns residents raised regarding parking enforcement throughout the city.
He understands the frustration that can come with changes to long standing practices. He wants to reassure the community that the goal of enforcement is not to burden residents but to restore order, improve safety and ensure fairness across all neighborhoods. As they move forward it is important that the residents know that parking enforcement is essential to the efficiency of city operations. When vehicles are parked improperly or left in restricted zones it affects traffic flow, emergency access, street sweeping and overall cleanliness. He requested that City Council revise the Municipal Code for tractor trailers driving on non-truck routed streets like Greenleaf and raise the fines to start at $500. Also revise Dumping Municipal Code fine to a minimum of $5000.00 for dumping and confiscating the vehicle used to transport the trash. He would also like to offer a $500 reward to residents that can provide information leading to apprehension of those people. He would like the same with graffiti, revise the code increasing the penalties. He requested that City Attorney Perrodin look at enforcing a gang injunction on the continued issues with graffiti. He asked City Manager Hopkins if he would explore a special exemption of the Grandee Apartments. They are experiencing parking challenges they have no control over. The property presents unique parking barriers. If you are a resident or property owner facing enforcement issues, please contact his office to collaborate with the City Manager’s office to resolve them effectively.
They are approaching the end of their Lot Cop Lease, and he recommended the replacement of long-term Lot Cop units in key locations throughout Compton. This with the expansion of the citywide camera system would allow them to cover existing blind spots that current cameras cannot capture and add to deterrent of illegal activity. He noted the continued progress of the Compton Human Trafficking Task Force. His office in collaboration with Restoration Diversion Services is discussing the reinstatement of the task force that includes L.A. County and regional partners to provide coordinated focus support to protect vulnerable residents and disrupt illegal activity associated with trafficking issues across the city.
He thanked Captain Puebla for addressing the speeding issue on Alondra. The motorcycle officers were visible out there. He commended him for responding expeditiously. 6 As always, he looks forward to continuing to work to build a safer, stronger Compton grounded in community unity.
Councilmember Spicer offered the following communications/announcements:
Thanked St. Julian Services for donating turkeys for the Thanksgiving Giveaway they hosted on November 22, 2025 at the Parking Lot District. Special thanks Big Man’s Big Dogs, City Catering, Mr. Taco, Kitchen Korner and Boulevard Bistro Pub, for providing food for their Sunday Dinner Giving that happened on Sloan Ave., Tucker, McMillan and Rose. Approximately four hundred residents came out to have dinner. The event was mostly about fellowshipping and having dinner with your neighbors. Special thanks to all donors, volunteers and city staff for blocking off the street they appreciate everyone.
On December 6, 2025, his office will be hosting the 2 nd Annual We Can See Your Smile.
A free dental and vision service at Dollarhide Community Center between 9am and 5 pm.

If you are interested, please contact his liaison T.
Spears at [email protected].
The city is starting a Small Business Accelerated Program in mid-January relating to business structure, taxes and banking. It is a ten-week course. He asked City Manager Hopkins to be more proactive in addressing the homeless and unhoused community. He wants to get more aggressive with that. The Olympics, All-Star Game, World Cup and Super Bowl are coming up. All neighboring cities are trying to address their homeless population and if we are not enforcing anything they will end up here in Compton.
They have two Motorcycle Deputies in Compton. He believes they will be addressing the high traffic areas he urged residents to be cautious. He wished everyone a wonderful, blessed evening.
Councilmember Duhart offered the following communications/announcements:
On November 23, 2025, she hosted a Thanksgiving Giveaway in partnership with United Hands of Compton. She extended her heartfelt appreciation to Martha Baraja for making the event possible and to all of the sponsors who came together to support the Compton community with turkeys, sides, canned goods and various essential items.

To receive 100% of the grant amount, partners must reach at least 90% of approved preseason player projections evidenced in the LeagueApps platform 15 days after the final game. For any variance greater than 10%, the grant will be reduced by the equivalent amount. Please note this reduction will not include the Dodgers Dreamteam Coordinator funds.

TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: MUNICIPAL WATER DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON
AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A PROFESSIONAL
SERVICES CONTRACT WITH MARIPOSA ECO CONSULTING INC FOR
SB 1383 REGULATIONS, IMPLEMENTATION, AND RECORDKEEPING
SERVICES PURSUANT TO RFP NO. CMDW-26-001 FOR FISCAL
YEARS 2025–2026, 2026–2027, AND 2027–2028, WITH AN OPTION TO
EXTEND, AND ISSUE A PURCHASE ORDER IN THE AMOUNT OF
SIXTY-TWO THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($62,100.00)
SUMMARY
Adoption of the proposed resolution will authorize the City Manager to execute a professional services contract with the consultant selected through Request for Proposals (RFP) No. CMDW-26-001 to provide SB 1383 regulations compliance, implementation support, and recordkeeping services for a three-year term covering Fiscal Years 2025– 2026 through 2027–2028, with an option to extend, and issue a purchase order in an amount not to exceed, Sixty-Two Thousand One Hundred Dollars ($62,100.00)
BACKGROUND
In 2016, Senate Bill 1383 (SB 1383) was signed into law to combat climate change by reducing short-lived climate pollutants, including methane emissions generated from the disposal of organic waste in landfills. Methane is a climate super pollutant that is significantly more potent than carbon dioxide. Organic waste such as food scraps, yard trimmings, paper, and cardboard constitute a substantial portion of the municipal solid waste stream and contributes to methane generation when landfilled.
SB 1383 establishes comprehensive statewide requirements for the reduction of organic waste disposal, expansion of organic waste recycling, and recovery of edible food for human consumption. Jurisdictions are required to adopt enforceable mechanisms, conduct education and outreach, implement inspection and enforcement programs, track compliance activities, and maintain extensive records within CalRecycle’s Performance- Based Model (PBM) Implementation Record Tool.
Ongoing compliance with SB 1383 requires specialized technical expertise, consistent data entry, program monitoring, and regulatory reporting. Failure to meet these requirements may expose the City to enforcement actions and administrative penalties from CalRecycle.

SUBJECT: CITY OF COMPTON FACILITIES, MONUMENTS AND MURALS
HONORING CIVIL RIGHTS LEADER CESAR CHAVEZ AND
CONSIDERATION OF POTENTIAL COUNCIL DIRECTION
(DISCUSSION)
SUMMARY
This item is presented to the City Council for discussion regarding Cesar Chavez Day and City of Compton facilities, monuments and murals honoring civil rights leader Cesar Chavez and to consider potential Council direction.
BACKGROUND
Recent national media coverage has brought forward allegations against Cesar Chavez, co-founder of the United Farm Workers (UFW), accusing him of misconduct, including abuse.
In response to these reports, there have been discussions and policy considerations at the state and local levels. Legislative leaders have announced efforts to rename the March 31 holiday from Cesar Chavez Day to ‘Farmworkers Day.” Additionally, the City of Los Angeles has announced consideration of renaming the holiday to “Farm Workers Day’ to honor agricultural laborers.
Jurisdictions across the country have also begun evaluating public assets bearing Chavez’s name, including parks, monuments, murals, and other commemorative features.
In the City of Long Beach, where a park and elementary school are named in his honor, Mayor Rex Richardson stated that the city would engage the community to evaluate how the farmworker movement is recognized in our public spaces, holidays, and civic life, including reviewing the naming of public facilities in a matter that is reflects community values.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The City Council may consider a preliminary review to identify City-owned facilities and publicly visible assets within the City of Compton that are named in honor of or depict Cesar Chavez.

BACKGROUND
Red curbs are critical traffic control features that enhance public safety by restricting parking in designated areas such as intersections, fire hydrants, driveways and other no- parking areas. Maintaining visible and compliant red curb markings is essential to ensure roadway safety, accessibility, emergency response effectiveness and regulatory enforcement.
Currently, red curb maintenance is performed on a reactive basis, resulting in inconsistent visibility, delayed repainting cycles, and limited centralized documentation. Additionally, the City lacks a comprehensive GIS-based inventory of red curb locations, lengths and conditions.
To address these challenges, the Public Works Department (Department) initiated a competitive procurement process to secure professional services for citywide red curb painting combined with GIS data collection and inventory management.

An evaluation panel reviewed each proposal in accordance with the City’s procurement policies to identify the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The panel evaluated the qualitative components of each proposal, and pricing was reviewed for reasonableness.
All proposals were reviewed for responsiveness to the requirements of the solicitation.
Three proposals were received. Of the three, two were determined to be responsive and demonstrate an understanding of the primary objectives and requirements.
The proposal from SAVI Construction, Inc. demonstrated a clear understanding of the full project scope, including red curb painting for daylighting compliance and associated field Staff Report – Authorizing Agreement and Purchase Order Citywide Red Curb Painting with GIS – SAVI Construction, Inc.

coordination. The firm provided a competitive price point relative to other proposers, along with more detailed and relevant municipal references. The proposal identified key project personnel, including a project manager and supervisory staff, which supported confidence in execution and accountability. Overall, the proposal was viewed as comprehensive, cost-effective, and well aligned with the City’s needs.
The lowest proposal appeared to emphasize GIS and data-related services more heavily than the core field work required for the red curb painting and daylighting project. The committee noted concerns that the proposal did not fully demonstrate an understanding of the City’s primary objectives or the practical execution of the field scope. As a result, the proposal was considered less responsive to the solicitation requirements and ranked substantially lower than the other proposers.
The contract for Red Curb Painting with GIS Data Collection is awarded not to the lowest bidder, but to the most responsive bidder that best meets the City’s needs. Following a thorough evaluation, the evaluation panel determined SAVI Construction, Inc. to be the most responsive bidder.

The total cost for red curb painting with GIS data collection, for the three (3) year term of April 1, 2026 – March 31, 2029 is Eight Hundred Forty-Seven Thousand Dollars ($847,000).

BACKGROUND
The City of Compton continues to experience challenges related to vehicle-related crimes, including stolen vehicles, violent crime involving vehicles, illegal dumping, and other quality-of-life and public safety concerns. Law enforcement agencies across the region have increasingly relied on technology-based tools, including Automatic License Plate Reader (ALPR) systems, to enhance investigative capabilities, improve response times, and support crime prevention efforts.
ALPR technology captures license plate images from vehicles traveling through designated areas and allows authorized law enforcement personnel to search, analyze, and share data in compliance with state and federal privacy laws. These systems have proven effective in assisting law enforcement with identifying stolen vehicles, locating suspects, supporting investigations, and improving overall situational awareness.
