Controller Rahban commented that the assets and the deferred resources of the City exceeded their liability and deferred resources at the close of fiscal year 2023 by approximately $79,100,000 which is approximately $60, 300,000 higher than the previous year in that position. This is primarily due to decreases and expenses of governmental activities in the amount of $22,500,000, business type activity expense decreases of approximately $2,100,000, increases in property taxes at $4,700,000, increases in investment earnings approximately $5,300,000 and increases in utility user taxes approximately $2,700,000. Controller Rahban provided an extensive report that included numerous increases and decreases for the year 2022/2023.

Mayor Sharif advised that this was not a Public Hearing.

Councilmember Duhart asked Ms. Payne who wrote the presentation she presented because she had a question concerning the qualified staff she mentioned under 2023-007. Ms. Payne responded that they were referring to the City Controller’s Office in regards to all of the vacancies in 2023.

Councilmember Duhart stated that she did not know that the City Treasurer submitted on the 2023-008 Investment Policy when she joined the Council in 2022. She indicated that The Investment Policy never made it to the Council. Ms. Payne responded that the City did not adopt the Investment Policy for fiscal year 2023 therefore she doesn’t know what happened 2022. She also doesn’t know why the Investment Policy was not adopted.

Councilmember Bowers indicated that as far as insufficient personnel are concerned, it’s not just the Controller’s Office it’s throughout the City. He doesn’t know how the Controller could have stopped the Investment Policy from coming through. He noted that several policies were 4 submitted, he thought they voted on it however he can’t remember but he does know several were submitted.

Treasurer Mims stated that the City Controller stopped the policy because she did not feel that they needed to update the policy at the time. She advised him by email that they already had an existing policy, and they did not need to update it.

Councilmember Duhart stated that she personally met with Controller Rahban and she informed her that she did not submit the Investment Policy. She indicated she had it in her hand, she showed it to her and advised her that she was not going to send it through.

Treasurer Mims disputed the Investment Earnings reported in the Audit and asked the City Controller to explain it to the Council.

Councilmember Bowers stated a continued lack of communication.

Councilmember Darden stated they just presented to the Audit Committee last week before bringing to the council? Ms. Payne agreed.

Councilmember Duhart noted that the report was dated May 12, 2025, today is June 17, 2025, and they are just now receiving the report, where has it been for a whole month? Ms. Payne responded indicating that there are other processes involved. The date on the report is the date they receive all the work and put it together. She stated that a one-month difference is not an abnormal delay.

Controller Rahban stated that the comment made by Treasurer Mims was false and not accurate.

She noted that the conversation with Councilmember Duhart was related to a conversation they had where she informed her that she had reviewed comments on an Investment Policy draft however a few months ago another Investment Policy was submitted on base and was forwarded for approval by the Council. She stated that it could have been the same procedure for 2022.

Treasurer Mims disputed Controller Rahban’s explanation and advised that he would provide written evidence to the Council.

Councilmember Spicer inquired about the $5,300,000 increase or the 415.4 % increase and noted that was a huge increase.

Treasurer Mims pointed out that the two different percentages, indicating that both were completely irrational for interest earnings increase over a 12-month period.

Controller Rahban responded that it could be a typo and can be fixed. She informed them that one is not audited but not part of the Audited Financial Statement.

Mayor Sharif asked Controller Rahban to clarify the $5,300,000 on one page and on another page it’s 415.4%.

Treasurer Mims stated that internally the document is inaccurate.

Controller Rahban advised that she would look further into it and bring a new Management Assessment Analysis, but the item tonight is received and filed Audited Financial Statements.

Councilmember Bower asked if the Treasurer and Controller communicated because if the numbers are being generated surely the Treasurer had to have known something prior to tonight’s Council Meeting as opposed to the going back and forth with the he said, she said.

Treasurer Mims advised that he is never included in any of the Controller’s communications; therefore, he would not have been aware of the numbers. He stated that during the budget process he did not find out that the interest earnings calculations were wrong until it was in the City Manager’s possession. He stated that if he does not get collaboration from the Controller, he could not coordinate with her.

Mayor Sharif asked if the two departments have any conversations at all. 5 Treasure Mims indicated that he encourages his department to coordinate with the Controller’s Office as much as possible however, she wrote the document, misrepresented the interest earnings and how they were made, therefore he does not know how to navigate that space with her because she did not provide the documents.

Mayor Sharif noted that there is a lack of communication going on between the two departments.

She asked the Controller to make sure she go back and check the numbers she gave regarding the increase and make sure she share the information with the Council as soon as possible. Controller Rahban responded that she would do so.

Councilmember Darden requested that the matter be tabled for next week with corrections.

Ms.

Lugo stated that some of them are 4 units or more. He asked if 144 accounts were eligible for a lien. Ms. Lugo responded “yes”,
Councilmember Bowers needed clarification on the commercial and residential side.

Mayor Sharif advised Councilmember Bowers that the questions were open to the audience, Council will speak afterwards.

PUBLIC COMMENTS ON HEARING
Lynn Boone stated that the commercial accounts were there for a reason. She indicated that several months ago the trash payments were placed on the property taxes. She noted that when Councilmember Darden looked at it, she indicated that she did not want hers placed on the property tax because she pays her bill and so does the residents. She noted that the outstanding bills were from commercial customers. She stated that at that time they asked for an RFP however they never received it due to the City Manager. She advised that she saw the $300,000 check from Republic for missed trash pick-up. She indicated that their water bills should never have been placed on their property taxes. The company should know how to handle their commercial customers as opposed to the residents. She does not think it’s fair to the City of Compton. She informed them that they never had to sign up to speak at Public Hearings.

Tanya Lewis stated that all of those who have paid their water bills from 2 years ago it has been taking out of their taxes. She stated in October the Council received a raise and they are still doing the same thing. In her opinion just write it off because October is coming again and the bill is going up therefore write it off.

Fidel Marquez announced that he is confused as to why Republic doesn’t have a collection department that will collect that amount. He stated they lost millions of dollars from businesses.

He asked if the businesses were still here in Compton or did they leave? There is no clarity and they need it off their tax bill.

Kareemah Bradford asked if Republic was notifying the property owners if the businesses/space is being rented and making sure they can collect from the tenant before they put it on the property owners’ tax bill.

Ms. Harris replied “yes” they have a team that went to each of the addresses ready to place on tax lien and left a red tag because they did find 4 locations that were completely boarded up and out of business. They do the SB1383 visits to each business letting them know they have a past due balance. As to writing it off she will definitely take it back to the office. The residential refuge bill on the Residential Tax Roll, she can’t make that go away however she will take it back to the office and that’s something that would need to be voted on by the Council.

Mark Smith asked, “who does it benefit”? It’s clearly benefiting Republic and not them. He would like the Council to honor the fact that they do not want it on their Tax Bill.

Councilmember Bowers asked Ms. Harris if Republic had a collection agency versus putting it on the Tax Roll.

Ms. Lugo replied, indicating they do have a collection agency to handle past due customers however they only get involved when they write them off to a third party. 7 Councilmember Bowers asked, when the Council voted for it to go on the tax bill was commercial already on the residents’ tax bills?
Ms. Harris responded, indicating that the commercial customers are billed directly by Republic Services, commercial is billed separately and commercial is only going on the tax lien.

Councilmember Darden noted that she was under the impression that the only time they could make changes is when their contract expires. If they get a new rubbish company, they can remove it at that time but right now it’s in the contract between Republic and the City of Compton that residential rubbish charges are placed on the tax bill. Will they be providing them with a list of all the commercial accounts that are delinquent and the amount each business owes? Ms. Harris informed her that it has been shared with the Public Works team.

On motion by Duhart, seconded by Darden the Public Hearing was closed by the following vote on roll call:

AYES: Councilmembers - Duhart, Spicer, Bowers, Darden, Sharif NOES: Councilmembers – None
ABSENT: Councilmembers – None

PUBLIC COMMENTS ON AGENDA ITEMS AND NON-AGENDA MATTERS
Anthony Lewis reported illegal dumping behind Compton Boulevard behind the Makers Hub.

They cleaned out all the high weeds. He called Vista and Republic. Republic does do illegal dumping on top of the bulk pick up. Both companies said they would not do it. Republic said it’s not in their area and Vista said they do not have a contract. He believes Screaming Eagle was tabled. Valley Vista and Screaming Eagle have not picked up the stuff and it continually piling up.

Samantha Garcia, a Dominguez High School graduate, highlighted the lack of response to attacks from agencies like ICE and the absence of immigration resources. She urged the Council to condemn threats against undocumented people, regardless of their source.

Abril Villanueva praised Samantha Garcia for her courage in addressing the Council. She expressed concern about Bishop's behavior and his threat to call immigration. She urged the Council to align their words with their actions to protect residents.

Sarah Lujan from the Compton Librarian shared that today they kicked off their lunch program at the library for youth under the age of 18 and under. They have free lunches. They also kicked off their Summer Stars that provide free tutoring for anyone in grades 1-6. They started their reading session today through July 10, 2025. The math session begins from July 15 through August 8, 2025. Anyone interested can sign up on the website. lacountylibrary.org. L.A. County will promote a new program called Music Stars for ages 11-13. The instruments will include acoustic guitar, electric drum kits and electric keyboards. This is a free in person program and minors must be accompanied by an adult. June is Gun Violence Awareness Month they have free gunlocks for the public no questions asked. Summer Discovery Program open to all ages. Tomorrow they are celebrating Juneteenth.

Ernie Gutierrez addressed the ongoing issue of prostitution along Long Beach Boulevard, expressing appreciation for the efforts made by the Sheriff and Restoration Diversion Services in addressing this problem. He acknowledged their continued work and requested that these efforts persist to further assist the women affected in the area. Mr. Gutierrez also brought attention to a homeless woman who has been residing at Long Beach Boulevard and Bennett for at least six months. He asked the Council to consider taking action to address her situation. Representing The Sloan and Steady Block Club, Mr. Gutierrez extended gratitude for the measures taken regarding fireworks in the city. He commended the recent ban on fireworks, describing it as a positive step forward for the community. He encouraged all residents of Compton to register to vote, emphasizing the importance of civic participation.

Maria Villareal Compton Latino Chamber of Commerce President stated she is very sad to see that a lot of their businesses are suffering the consequences of the presence of ICE. The Latinos 8 and immigrants make a big difference in Compton, and they deserve to be heard. Compton Latino Chamber of Commerce is starting a program for people that are afraid to come out due to the presence of ICE. They will deliver their groceries, so they do not have to come out.

Keara Owens recommends limiting tech use during meetings when someone is speaking, as it distracts from engagement. She also requests real-time captioning. Can Council develop a compliance plan to ensure Compton residents have full meeting accessibility, including closed captions, sign language, and Spanish interpretation?
Lynn Boone spoke concerning item #3 under the Consent Agenda. She indicated that the item should not be under the Consent Agenda. She suggested they were trying to give the City Attorney’s job to the City Manager. She stated that the City Manager does not qualify as the City Attorney. As far as fireworks are concerned, the Council has failed us once again by removing and suspending the non-profits from being able to sell safe and sane fireworks. The city is going to be surrounded by illegal fireworks on July 4 th and beyond. She announced that the Council is supposed to represent everyone in Compton. There is an election coming up and she encouraged everyone to vote. When questions are raised, responses are not provided. The Council appears to be unreceptive to suggestions from the public.

Mayor Sharif informed Ms. Boone that item #1 on the agenda was a Presentation.

Marie Brown The Council is doing a good job, she sees them everywhere. When she requested blockers for the street takeovers, they provided them. She wants to know how many arrests were made from the street takeovers. She asked for the street sweepers to return to her area and they did however they are missing Alondra and Atlantic. She requested that the area be cleaned up as well.

She reported that there are no stops sign coming off Frailey. Numerous accidents have occurred there. She asked if they could do something to slow the traffic down because it’s dangerous.

Kareemah Bradford noted that the city has many vacancies and should be addressing them now, as it should have in the past. She stated that when positions are vacant, it’s an opportune time to adjust the benefits schedule. She thinks that, since the city is currently negotiating with several bargaining unions, the Council could instruct Management to propose something now to address management’s needs. She asked Council to direct management during the current negotiations.

She suggested that they all work together.

Tanya Lewis asked the City Manager to assign Hector two tasks: cleaning the former Armory property before July 4th and addressing overgrown vegetation on a house at 134th and Central that obstructs the sidewalk. She also emphasized the need to identify and maintain empty lots; she thanked the Treasurer for clarifying financial matters with the Controller and noted that everyone at the meeting should have had the same information to review.

Fidel Marquez district one addressed the City Manager indicating a couple of months ago they had a consultant do a street survey on Central Ave. The speed limit was brought down from 45 to

40. The takeovers on Piru and Stockwell must stop. There were eighteen findings on the audit, and no one asked questions and that is disturbing to him. The Treasurer and Controller not communicating is alarming and where fraud starts. They cannot survive without immigrants.

Vanessa provided feedback on Eaden Payne’s report, noting that the inclusion of relevant paperwork on the table would have facilitated better understanding for the participants. She asked if it was a continuation of Asia Brown’s Mayorship? They are looking at negative cash that’s not actively monitored or adjusted, which is fraud. The Treasurer, Controller and Ms. Payne discussed solutions on how to rectify the situation. She suggested that they stop trying to cover up for Sharon, if she’s not doing her job, fire her! She asked where was CHIRLA they should be there representing the Latino community?
Gizelle Arrogoza, Community Health Worker from Harbor UCLA Hospital along with her colleague Gabriel Gomez announced that in 2021-2022 only 27% of people who had cardiac arrest outside of a hospital received by stander CPR. By stander CPR means from your mom, your sister, your friend or anyone from the public. This is lower than the Los Angeles County average which at 39%. They are there to represent the South Los Angeles. CPR Initiative. She extended a special thanks to Councilmember Spicer for helping to connect them with the community. They want 9 Compton's input and partnership. She encouraged residents to connect with them on Facebook and Instagram, in both English and Spanish. Gabriel repeated the presentation in Spanish.

Mark Smith requested that the young lady's Spanish translation appear on the screen as closed captions for easier viewing. He respectfully advised Lynn Boone that she was wrong concerning the fireworks. He stated that the most safe and sane thing the Council has done was to suspend the fireworks. The back and forth with the City Treasurer and City Controller shouldn’t be because the Council is in charge. He suggested they consider merging the Controller and Treasurer’s Office. They need a message from the Mayor to the Latino community about what’s going on regarding their protection.

Mayor Sharif provided a presentation from the City of Compton concerning the recent immigration actions in the community and assured the community they have their support. She also provided resources concerning their rights during immigration enforcement encounters including a KNOW YOUR RIGHTS Presentation and a link to the Los Angeles County Public Defender’s Office. She encouraged them to visit the website and share the information with their family and friends. She stated she was in a meeting with an attorney last week and the information provided was given to her to share with the community. She asked Maria Villanueva to get in touch with her office because she would like to work with them. She announced that all of the information was on the city website under City News in Spanish and English.

WHITMORE AND JL GROUP, LLC, FOR PROVISION OF ADMINSITRATIVE INVESTIGATON SERVICES ON AN “AS-NEEDED BASIS FOR FISCAL YEARS 2024- 2025 AND 2025-2026” (Resolution #26,257)
Councilmember Darden asked if there were any outstanding invoices for either of the firms.

City Manager Hopkins replied both firms are current active vendors.

Councilmember Darden noted that the huge increase from the 2024/2025 budget for $175,000 increased to $900,000. She suggested they specify an amount for each firm and once that threshold is reached, they come back to the Council for additional approval.

City Manager Hopkins stated that the increase is based on the previous year in terms of utilization and the number of investigations that were conducted internal for staff. He stated that in conjunction with that and what she’s proposing, it would have a great negative impact on the investigations. He informed her that firms are used as needed but that number is based on what their expenditure was over the previous year due to the fact they had numerous investigations 10 going on at the same time and if they limit either firm to a specific amount when they tap out they would have to halt the investigation until they come back and that wouldn’t be good for the investigation.

Councilmember Darden asked for clarification on whether they spent $900,000 the past year even though the budget amount was $175,000.

City Attorney Hopkins stated they more than likely spent that amount. He indicated there were adjustments in the budget to move additional funding. He stated he had to go back and do some research to get those additional amounts and would provide the Council with said information.

On motion by Spicer, seconded by SHARIF, Resolution #26,257 entitled “A RESOLUTION OF

THOUSAND FIVE-HUNDRED FIFTY DOLLARS (164,550) TO WEAVER AND TIDWELL, LLP”
Controller Rahban clarified that on page 1 of the Management Discussion Analysis, that figure was reporting a citywide figure. On page 9 of the Management Discussion Analysis, that figure was reporting governmental only activities; it’s excluding business activities. There was no typo. She noted that, a few months ago, the City Council approved an upgrade to the City Controller’s Office finance software. The Controller needs assistance from a consultant who specializes in the implementation of software. The software has not been upgraded since 1998.

Treasurer Mims asked for clarification on page one on the investment earnings statement, needs correction false. Its nit sensible. Numbers are wrong
Councilmember Spicer asked if they implemented it.

Controller Rahban replied they had not.

Councilmember Spicer needed clarification regarding the amount the City Controller wanted to spend to implement the software. He noted that they already paid for implementation and training.

Controller Rahban advised that there are services that are not included in the implementation, which is why they need assistance from a consultant. Controller Rahban indicated it was included in the packet.

Councilmember Spicer asked when they approved it back in 2024 what implementation did it include?
Controller Rahban said it included taking city staff through different modules and screens of the system, but it did not include planning.

Councilmember Spicer asked if they would have to pay the $164,550 one-time.

Controller Rahban replied yes, it is one time.

Councilmember Bowers asked what time frame did the $164,550 cover? Controller Rahban responded as long as it takes for them to go live.

Councilmember Bowers asked if it was a maximum number of hours. 12 Controller Rahban indicated that in the packet, the dollar cost bid list 582 hours for software implementation for Central Square.

Councilmember Duhart indicated she was confused as to the different amounts. She requested that Lieber and Tibbel come out and give a presentation.

Mayor Sharif asked did the audit committee have an opportunity to interview the vendor at all? Controller Rahban replied it was discussed but the vendor was not present.

Councilmember Spicer agreed with Councilmember Duhart that the company needs to come out and give a presentation.

Councilmember Darden noted that this pertains to payroll, they are switching from ADP that they have been with for many years to this firm that doesn’t provide all the services they need because she heard her say they will have to print their checks themselves when ADP printed all of the checks for the employees.

Controller Rahban stated there are components with ADP that are ineffective such as ADP does not maintain timecards past one year and that becomes a problem when they must maintain them for audits or for monitoring visits from granting agencies. There are deficiencies in ADP’s ability to service what the city needs for HR and payroll which another software was researched. Neo Gov was the software that was approved a few months ago for payroll and HR. They need this consultant for HR and payroll.

Councilmember Spicer noted that in the event they approve it at some point, how long is it going to take for her to implement it because it’s a year later before they found out that they need to pay full services before they can implement it.

Controller Rahban stated she can’t say because they are understaffed and have to prioritize according to the staff they have.

ASISTING WITH THE PREPARATON OF THE FY 2022-2023 AUDIT” Councilmember Bowers asked if they were advised prior to the expiration of the agreement that there were more services.

Councilmember Rahban indicated that the agreement was not expired there’s provision in the agreement that the auditor may have out of scope services. In the instance of the change in the scope of work or the scope of the project adjustments, the total compensation would be negotiated between the independent auditor and the city. Last week there was an audit committee meeting, and the audit scope services were discussed. Part of the audit contract stipulates certain responsibilities that the city had to make sure the audit runs smoothly. There were certain situations 13 where the auditor did not obtain information readily that caused them to do additional work. There were new accounting standards that the city had to implement. If they were not implemented, they would immediately result in a qualified opinion however they were implemented.

Councilmember Spicer asked if the work had been done.

Councilmember Rahban indicated it has.

Councilmember Spicer asked when they were notified?
Controller Rahban informed him that she would have to go back and look.

Councilmember Spicer asked Eadie Payne to come up he had questions for her.

Councilmember Spicer asked Ms. Payne when she notified them of the scope of work that needed to be done.

Ms. Payne replied that off the top of her head, possibly March or April, they came up with a number. She thought they would have an Audit Committee Meeting before last week. It wasn’t intentional that it wasn’t brought to the committee beforehand.

Councilmember Spicer asked when did she get approval in writing as to continuing with the scope of work?
Ms. Payne replied they did not ask for approval in writing.

Councilmember Spicer pointed out that the contract says they need approval in writing by the City.

Ms. Payne responded, “this is why they are doing it now”.

Councilmember Spicer noted that the work was already done.

Ms. Payne responded, “yes you have received the report and without the work done you would not receive the report”.

Mayor Sharif asked if the scope fees are part of their contract.

Controller Rahban stated there is terminology in the contract describing the protocol for addressing out of scope fees.

On motion by Spicer, seconded by Darden, Resolution #26,258 entitled “A RESOLUTION OF

Controller Rahban noted that this item was related to the last item they discussed. She stated they are not getting ahead, and the auditor has identified probable out of scope costs ahead of time before they do the work. They are coming now to ask for an additional purchase order to cover proposed, expected out of scope fees from the auditor.

Councilmember Spicer asked if someone could explain what was out of scope this time. 14 Controller Rahban replied there are some similar items that are out of scope in fiscal year 2023.

They are related to the Cost Allocation Plan.

Councilmember Spicer asked if Ms. Payne agreed with the out-of-scope work.

Ms. Payne indicated that for the 2024 audit they identified areas that needed additional work. For them that is based on the proposal they provided back in 2022.

Councilmember Darden asked if this is the right one?
Mayor Sharif asked, “do you have an anticipated date when the 2024 audit will be complete? Ms. Payne replied 5-6 months.

They are also familiar with the success that their firm has achieved for the City of Compton. They have a depth of experience that will serve the city well. Their practice areas include labor, human resources, personnel matters, real estate matters, projects of significance, commercial developments, residential development both affordable and market rate housing, shopping centers, mixed news projects, sequent and environmental issues, complex litigation matters including general liability defense cases.

He is confident that his agency will continue to provide excellent legal services and achieve the successful outcomes they have demonstrated in the recent pass. If they are selected to continue to serve the city they will provide responsiveness, respect and results.

Diane Quang from Hawkins, Delafield and Wood noted that they submitted a proposal to serve only as Bond Counsel. She has been an attorney for twenty-six years, twenty-four of those years exclusively devoted to Municipal Finance. Her firm is a one hundred- and seventy-year-old plus firm. They have been in California for over forty years. They are the only National Firm that is exclusively devoted to Public Finance, meaning that the city will not get the conflict issues that they would get from a much larger firm that has a litigation and development practice. They have only been on the municipal side of borrowings of financing. They are ranked in the top five of bond, disclosure and underwriters counsel every year since statistics have been kept. They have one of the largest tax departments in the industry. They have been Bond Counsel on over two billion dollars of water and wastewater financing.

He has been City Attorney in various cities and surrounding areas. The two items he emphasized on are in the fields of personnel and litigation. He indicated that it is necessary to hire special counsel for personnel issues because the City Attorney and staff often find it challenging to manage those matters themselves. In particular, investigations because they sometimes involve high level officials. They have grown and specialize in the area of investigations. Savanna Skelton introduced herself as the face of litigation for their firm. She stated that they have represented several cities throughout the State of California. She reviewed some of their successful cases. She noted they offer comprehensive services beyond employment and litigation, including substantial compliance work.

She encouraged them to please call 310-217-4728 if they had any issues.

Dionne Evans stated that he’s coming up on twenty-four years with the Compton Fire Dept. He stated that he is a fifth-generation resident. His family has been in the city since the early 50’s.

They had 2/3 of their ALS resources unavailable and multiple fire companies shut down in their districts.

Anthony Lewis stated that the Council Chambers is a nice City Council setting. He noted that last week they made some appointments and the City Clerk had to call three times on behalf of a certain individual. He indicated that when the person was nominated and needed a second, the rest of the council did not provide the second. He stated the Mayor called it at the last minute and he was voted in with the exception of one person however that person should be recalled and not allowed to serve on the commission.

Humberto stated that every year they have the same problems but there are no solutions. They need to work together. He indicated they can change Compton with unity. He believes they are in the past however it’s time to make moves. He noted that the Council has the community to assist them, but they need to work together. He suggested they need new ideas and projects this year not next year.

He wants to do things at Compton in the entertainment field. He has connections and would like the Council to support him. His group would like to assist with the Spectrum channel.

Linda Brown had concerns regarding the citations being written in Richland Farms. She believes it's unfair that her guests receive tickets when they visit. She doesn’t think it’s fair they have to have a special permit to park.

Tameka Jennings addressed the constitutional rights concerning improper citations. She read a law concerning government officials sworn under oath. She feels that the improper citations are unconstitutional and they do not respect the constitution. 4 Marjorie Shipp from the third district admired the uplift of the Council Chambers. She thanked the Council for installing the permit parking in Richland Farms.

Sophia Gill Valenzuela, an Executed Director in Compton. They just opened a new health care facility. She invited them to their ribbon cutting ceremony on February 20, 2026, at Habitat Health located at 1005 E.

Patricia Gonzalez, V.P. of Compton Latino Chamber of Commerce and resident of district two, announced they are proud of the Origin Walk that was held Saturday by the Compton Museum.

She thanked all of the organizers and everyone that showed up from different cities to advocate for such a meaningful cause. She stated it was a beautiful reminder of what unity looks like.

Abril Villanueva from district two stated the Public Safety Committee currently has two vacant positions. She noted that Joel Estrada would be a great addition to the safety committee. She stated he can bring great insight and recommendations to the committee regarding immigration laws. She suggested that the Sheriffs do training with Code Enforcement in regard to ICE.

Mark Smith stated that what Firefighter Evans pointed out was very alarming. He noted residents are lacking service in what they pay for and going underserved. He requested that the matter be reviewed. He asked for a moment of silence for a mentor of his, Captain Ron Eldridge who lost his wife of sixty-three years. She was an educator and she served the community. She was a devoted mother, wife and grandmother. Her name was Penny Lee Eldridge.

Tanya Lewis, First district. She thanked the City Manager for coming to Compton and making the city beautiful once again. She got some disturbing news last year and she did not bring it forth however she got it a week ago concerning the committee. She asked Mayor E. Sharif if they were trying to get rid of the City Manager. She asked her to explain to everyone what she is trying to do and if the committee is part of it. She asked what she is doing about the City Manager.

Mayor E. Sharif explained that every year it is the duty of the City Council to evaluate the City Manager and that’s what it’s all about.

Missy Barbara stated she tries to respect everyone but she’s the resident that if she sees something she will say something good, bad or indifferent. She had a couple of males come up at Dollarhide Community Center calling the group goonies. She advised that if she doesn’t address them directly don’t come for her. She stated her first amendment right is to say what and how she feels. It’s nothing personal. She pays taxes and those taxes take care of their salary. She noted that someone sitting on the Council was on the internet calling people ignorant and stupid, including the Mayor.

She stated that if an individual runs for office they have to be professional, show empathy and take the bitter with the sweet. She asked if they were paying the intern Janene’s salary because her contract expired in October last year. She noted she is going to stay on different topics when it comes to tax dollars.

Fidel Marquez District one requested that agenda item number six be pulled because there are some things that are not addressed. They need to address all disabilities and one that was not addressed was sign language. They need to address all disabilities across the board. In regard to the statement that was put out by the Mayor and City on Sunday regarding ICE, he understands there’s not much they can do as a Council, but they can address the Sheriff and their contract. he indicated that when they have the Sheriff assisting the terrorist and we pay their salary that’s a huge problem. He stated that last weekend he had an incident in his neighborhood and it took the Sheriffs two hours to show up but when ICE needs them, they are there in seconds. He noted the Director of ICE, Robert Bonner sat on the commission oversight for the Sheriff, yet he was the director and created ICE. That’s a conflict of interest. He requested that they look into the matter.

Vanessa Cain stated that the credit card issue needs to be put to bed. She doesn’t know why it’s taking so long to resolve the issue. She indicated they knew that the crime was committed. They need to get the person that committed the crime off the dais. She requested that they look into it indicating they don’t need outside counsel or the DA they know what he did he committed a crime. 5 She requested that they get him off the council and move on. Last week for the Planning Commission no one seconded for Mark Smith. Mark is a good person for the Planning Commission, being a former Fire Fighter. They have to start picking people that understand what their positions are. Councilmember Bowers removed the woman that had been serving on the commissions for thirty years. Councilmember Darden re-elected the woman. Why would he take her off if Councilmember Darden re-elected her. Councilmember Darden should have asked why she was removed, obviously she wasn’t doing the job. She suggested that they stop recycling people and remove Councilmember Spicer quick.

Fatima noted she comes in a collaborative spirit. She stated some community members asked her to help with this issue regarding confronting ICE. She works in state policy. Immigration enforcement is a federal responsibility but there are cities across California that have shown local governments do have authority. Proactive protection, other cities have taken clear and legal steps after ICE raids. To date Compton has not adopted any legislation. She stated the Mayor can act immediately by issuing an Executive Directive. Requiring Transparency requires quarterly public reporting on ICE activity impacting Compton residents. Declaring city facilities to be safe spaces closed to ICE without an additional warrant and training staff accordingly. Authorizing the City Attorney’s office to join or support litigation challenging unconstitutional ICE practices.

Joselyn Sanchez from District four stated she refuses to accept there is nothing the Council can do to be informed about ICE alerts. She requested that they work closely with the Rapid Response Network to inform residents citywide of ICE activity to keep community members safe. She asked the Council to look to the state and other cities to adopt a city ordinance to officially make Compton a factual city because our people deserve to feel protected in their homes even though laws are not enforced or regulated. She emphasized the necessity of establishing safeguards to ensure proper protection when justice is achieved. As public servants she expects them to take their duties seriously. She stated everyone deserves to be treated with dignity, respect and honor. She wants to see engagement with the community to get involved, show up to meetings, establish public records, call senators and congressional representatives to abolish ICE. She noted it’s important that we all participate.

Jose Marquez stated that the residents at Richland Farms are upset and concerned because there are no cars on the street. He noted it wasn’t a big problem that they needed the Council to resolve it. He emphasized they should have had a meeting with the community. He pointed out they said they'd pause it, but didn't, so now everyone has tickets. They want transparency from the Council.

They pay the most taxes in District four and feel they are trying to replace the farms with apartments. He noted they are not to be ignored.

Veronica Taylor suggested forming a dedicated task force to address nighttime graffiti, which she described as disrespectful. She emphasized the need for ongoing street repairs with durable materials, community involvement to maintain budgets, and hiring qualified local workers.

Unrepaired streets are damaging residents’ cars.

Craig Henry announced he appreciated the fact that they were listening when he said they are to address the Council, however tonight it was disrespectful for an audience member to call out one person’s name. He felt the Mayor should have corrected them and advised them that they have to address the Council. He thanked them for the attorneys’ presentations. He asked how can a city the size of Compton operate without internal legal assistance. He asked who will oversee the law companies they are bringing in to ensure Compton’s best interest is at hand. He stated it’s about principles before personalities.

Lynn Boone noted that the minutes under the Consent Agenda were wrong. She stated that last week there were four sets of different minutes and they were all wrong. To date they have one dated 20-23-25 and last week the four started at 3-11-25 and ended at 4-30-25. She stated that Mr.

Guzman need not be voted in because you can’t take campaign contributions from someone that you vote in for legal services or any other services. She noted that item number six should be pulled because the Council needs to pull SB707 and read it for themselves before they accept it from the City Manager. She indicated the City Manager does not manage the people of the city and they have no way of selecting the City Manager. She pointed out that SB707 goes directly into the translation. There is a part that says if someone does not speak English, they should have a translator for the people in the audience that do not understand. 6 Mayor E. Sharif thanked the audience for speaking today and expressing their concerns regarding the ongoing ICE raids that have plagued the city recently as well as other cities throughout Los Angeles County. She stated the ICE raids have been very difficult for the families affected and for the leaders trying to find ways to assist the residents with this extremely complex matter. She thinks this issue can't be solved by one person alone. Collaboration among all parties is essential to improve conditions for every Compton resident, regardless of immigration status. Please feel free to reach out with suggestions or solutions, as she genuinely welcomes input from the community. She aims to reassure residents that they are diligently evaluating all available options to support them and provide essential resources, including:
Compton Emergency Alert System
The city has taken steps to explore solutions to keep residents informed during emergencies and when they are notified when ICE is in the community. Please sign up through the city website or scan the QR code for all emergency alerts.
She has reached out to the U.S. State Senator Office of Alex Padilla to request a meeting regarding the ICE raids in Compton and to see what resources may be available on a federal level from our Senator.
She requested that the City Manager explore every known know your rights material and post at all the city parks and city buildings. She would like his office and the Grants Department host a know your rights workshop at the Council meeting that can be recorded and shared on our social medial platforms and the city website. She also reached out to CHIRLA regarding providing a possible presentation on what It is her understanding that the city council approved $17,933 on June 24, 2025, of CDBG funding for CHIRLA to provide services to the Compton immigrant community.

6. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON ADOPTING

VARIOUS POLICIES REQUIRED UNDER THE BROWN ACT AS AMENDED BY SENATE BILL 707 INCLUDING POLICIES FOR REASONABLE

ACCOMODATIONS, TELECONFERENCE MEETING DISRUPTION POLICY AND

AN INTERNET SERVICE AND TELEPHONIC SERVICE DISRUPTION POLICY (Resolution 26,365)
City Manager Hopkins stated the Senate Bill 707 was passed in 2025 and effective 1-20-26.

What’s critical about the matter is they have to be functioning by July 1, 2026. What does SB707 allow to happen? The legislative body with reasonable accommodation can participate remotely in a meeting meaning you can be in a location outside of the chambers and participate in that meeting remotely via teleconferencing as a reasonable accommodation. With that requirement if there’s a disability that would prevent them from being in person their attendance is treated as an in-person attendance at the physical meeting. SB707 deals with translation that any population that is at least 20% of the population, they are required to provide translation in that realm. The City of Compton is still focused on translation for English and Spanish. They are working to be able to provide sign language for the hearing impaired the same in other means of translation so that they are in total compliance with the law. The essential aspect of this requirement is that it takes effect starting July 1, 2026. He and his colleagues are concerned that, when someone joins by phone and experiences a disruption, it often takes a considerable amount of time to re-establish the connection with the other party, which can lead to prolonged Council meetings. 7 CITY CLERK

CITY MANAGER’S REPORT

11. DOLLARHIDE COMMUNITY CENTER
City Manager Hopkins stated that this matter was placed on the agenda at the request of members of the Council to discuss the utilization of the Dollarhide Community Center.

Councilmember Bowers believes Council members use the Dollarhide Community Center too frequently, which sometimes forces seniors out of their reserved area. Bowers suggests that restrictions should be placed on how often Council members can access the facility.

Councilmember Spicer emphasized as he understands the Dollarhide Community Center to be the Dollarhide Community Center as it reads outside the building, Community Center. Some of the successes that have taken place there in the form of free events include 600 plus expungements, 250 plus employed residents, 150 plus housed residents. They have hosted classes to teach single fathers how to cook meals. They’ve had little under 100 youths start their new businesses, 270 residents provided with free dental and vision benefits just to name a few that he has been able to accomplish at Dollarhide Community Center. He challenges anyone else up there to tell them what they have accomplished since they’ve been here at Dollarhide or any Park.

Councilmember Bowers noted he can provide a list a mile long as to what he has accomplished, he doesn’t utilize Dollarhide Community Center that much because it is earmarked for the seniors and when they are getting bumped out of their location that’s a problem. He commended Councilmember Spicer for his success, however the seniors are complaining and there has been multiple complaints about the seniors getting booted out therefore there should be a line drawn.

He doesn’t need to compare list it’s just about the seniors.

Mayor E. Sharif stated there was a meeting at Dollarhide Community Center and listening to the seniors they want to make sure that whatever is going on doesn’t impact them. She noted it doesn’t feel good to hear them say they have been kicked out. We don’t ever want them to feel left behind.

It’s all about courtesy and respecting the seniors.

Councilmember Spicer emphasized that they all have to do better with providing more senior activity and programs. If anyone would like to suggest any or bring any to the table that would be awesome.

Councilmember Bowers informed Councilmember Spicer that he was not present at the meeting when that topic was discussed.

NEW BUSINESS

12. On Motion by Duhart, seconded by Bowers Resolution #26,366 entitled “A

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF COMPTON AUTHORIZING THE CITY

MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT

WITH AND ESTABLISH A PURCHASE ORDER TO EUNA SOLUTIONS TO

INSTALL AND SUPPORT A PAYMENT KIOSK PLATFORM IN THE AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $50,200.00 FOR A ONE (1) YEAR CONTRACT WITH AN 9 OPTION OF A TWO (2) YEAR EXTENTION RENEWAL AT $47,970.00 PER YEAR” was approved by the following vote on roll call:

AYES: Councilmembers – Duhart, Spicer, Bowers, Darden, Mayor E. Sharif NOES: Councilmembers – None
ABSENT: Councilmembers – None
Councilmember Bower asked what was the kiosk for.

City Treasurer Mims explained that the kiosk will take payments for utility payments and other property payments they currently take at the counter. He stated that the plan is to explore replacing the drop box with an in-wall ATM like kiosk, a kiosk in the Treasurer’s Office and one at Dollarhide.

Mayor E. Sharif needed clarity as to if kiosk would be at three sites.

City Treasurer Mims responded yes, the proposal is for three kiosks.

Mayor E. Sharif asked if residents would be able to pay their bill with a credit card.

City Treasurer Mims replied credit cards, ACH, debit, they will be able to set up different methods through the kiosk platform as well. The kiosk platform expands their ability to take different kinds of payments far beyond what they’re doing at the counter.

Councilmember Duhart asked if there is a fee to use it.

City Treasurer Mims explained that the fee is currently 2.35%, the city’s transaction convenience fee is 2.5 so it’s .15 cents less on the dollar to use.

Councilmember Darden needed clarity on if they were going to honor the pricing for the effective date through December 30, 2025
City Treasurer Mims replied yes, they confirmed with the vendor today the pricing for December is still good.

City Manager Hopkins added that in conjunction with what the Treasurer’s Office is doing they hope to be able to go live with online payments in the month of March.

COUNCIL COMMENTS
Councilmember Darden offered the following communications/announcements:
On January 29, 2026, she attended the RDS Restoration Diversion Services open house in honor of Human Trafficking Awareness Month. They also unveiled their new serenity room, a dedicated space focused on mental health, healing and restoration. On January 29, 2026, she attended the South Coast Air Quality Management District Workshop. They help to update the services that are important relating to cleaning the air and quality of air in the City of Compton. She learned that they are willing to come to the city and make a presentation because in District two there were a lot of complaints concerning the odor in that area.
On January 29, 2026, she attended the 2025 Christmas Parade Awards and Volunteer Recognition Program conducted by the Recreation Department at Dollarhide Community Center.
On January 29, 2026, her office attended the Compton Entertainment Chamber of Commerce Business Mixer hosted by the Compton America Job Center of California. Congratulations to Compton native and former key to the city recipient Kendrick Lamar who became the most awarded rapper in Grammy’s history after he won five awards this past Sunday including record of the year for Luther and rap song and rap album. Lamar 10 has now won twenty-seven Grammy’s after picking up five last year. Congratulations to one of our own community members.
On February 13, 2026, she and Councilmember Duhart are hosting a Valentine’s Day Luncheon at Dollarhide. Please visit the city’s website for more details.

Councilmember Bowers offered the following communications/announcements:
The statement by Firefighter Evans is very disturbing concerning the staffing levels, the City Manager, HR and the Fire Chief need to look into the matter. They know they shut down equipment and it’s not acceptable. It doesn’t seem like they have a plan in place to begin hiring.
Regarding Richland Farms and the parking permits, they claim vehicles are being towed, but he is unaware of this actually happening. They are still issuing warnings that he knows of. The other comment that the city wants to make apartments in Richland Farms can’t be further from the truth. They want to keep it agricultural. Regarding the parking permit, he has requested that the decision be deferred until sufficient research is conducted and a feasible plan is developed. The Municipal Code they are going by right now is about thirty years old. It failed then so why are they reinstituting it if it didn’t work then. They need something more up to date; it needs to be revised. As they go further with this it’s causing more problems than solutions. He read a letter he proposed to the City Manager regarding the Permitted Parking Program. He also read a letter he wrote to the Council requesting postponement.
This past Saturday he attended the Entrepreneurial Education Center EEC Open House alongside CEO Barbara Stanton. The event showcased a wide range of educational workforce development programs available to our adult learners. All offered at no cost. He encouraged members of the community to explore the programs and take advantage of the resources available to support professional growth.
He publicly thanked Marcus Harris and the entire Public Works team for the work being carried out throughout the city. Their work has not gone unnoticed from maintenance to beautification efforts. He addressed City Manager Hopkins requesting attention to the restoration of the Compton Creek and improved signage, specifically horse crossing signs in the appropriate areas.
He moved that the Council pause parking permits until they utilize the consultant.

City Clerk Zurita advised him that if he was going to make a motion, he would have to make a motion to add a subsequent need item to the agenda, he would have to get a second and then they can vote on the item.

Councilmember Bowers made a motion for a subsequent need item to pause the parking.

Mayor E. Sharif stated that normally a subsequent need item is an emergency, does this qualify for an emergency need.

City Clerk Zurita informed Mayor E. Sharif that she had the opportunity to not second if she did not want to put the item on the agenda.

Councilmember Darden stated that her concern was it needed to come back with written material, so they understand what they are voting for. She understands what Councilmember Bowers is saying but it needs to be in written form.

City Clerk Zurita stated that they will have the Council direct staff as to how they would like to move forward.
His focus remains on responsible leadership, practical solutions and strengthening community unity as they collectively continue to deliver results of Compton. He thanked everyone, wished them a good night and a great week.
11 Councilmember Spicer offered the following communications/announcements:
He attended the Proud Origins walk this past Saturday organized by the Compton Museum.

It was a protest against ICE. It was a beautiful display of different origins. There were approximately 700 in attendance. He thanked Compton Museum for organizing the event.

He had meaningful discussions with concerned residents, leading him to organize a Town Hall Meeting concerning ICE.
On February 26, 2026, at 6:00pm, he will be hosting a Town Hall Meeting regarding ICE at Dollarhide.

Special thanks to the Public Works Department for conducting a tree removal on Rosecrans Ave.
A few weeks ago, he had the opportunity to interview two World War II veterans at the VFW, one aged 98 and the other 107, both named Clifford Johnson. In inquiring about their secret to longevity, remarkably they stated they continue to exercise regularly. He is excited about the conclusion of credit card investigation next week A Black History fact: Douglas Dollarhide was the first Black Mayor elected on this side of Mississippi. When he was elected he brought in the first Black Police Chief, Tom Coshay, the first Black Fire Chief, Monroe Smith and the first Black Superintendent Alonso Crimm. He will go live on his Facebook and Instagram tomorrow at 5:15pm to recap the Council Meeting and address concerns the residents may have. He’s taking all questions and giving as many answers as he can. He wished everyone a wonderful evening and good night.

Councilmember Duhart offered the following communications/announcements:

She asked the City Clerk to please find it. She thanked everyone for coming out this evening. She appreciates your presence and your comments. She advised that their concerns do not fall on death’s ears. She does listen and she try to make changes when she can. Always remember to eat, shop and buy Compton, a safe, clean and friendly city.

Mayor E. Sharif offered the following communications/announcements:
She would like to recognize the beginning of Black History Month. A time to honor the legacy, resilience and lasting contributions of African Americans who have helped shaped our nation in our very own community.
Throughout the month of February, the city will highlight four hometown individuals who amplified Black excellence on their social media platforms. This week they proudly recognize Maxey D. Filer a respected civic leader, attorney and civil rights advocate who devoted decades to public service and community empowerment. Affectionately known as Mr. Compton.

COMMERCIAL AUTOMOBILE BROAD FORM

ENDORSEMENT
This endorsement modifies insurance provided under the following:

BUSINESS AUTO COVERAGE FORM
To the extent that the provisions of this endorsement provide broader benefits to the "insured" than other provisions of the Coverage Form, the provisions of this endorsement apply.

COMMERCIAL AUTOMOBILE
HA 99 16 12 21
THIS ENDORSEMENT CHANGES THE POLICY. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY.

1. BROAD FORM INSURED
Paragraph .1. - WHO IS AN INSURED - of
Section II - Liability Coverage is amended to
add the following:
d. Subsidiaries and Newly Acquired or
Formed Organizations
The Named Insured shown in the Declarations
is amended to include:
(1) Any legal business entity other than a
partnership or joint venture, formed as a
subsidiary in which you have an
ownership interest of more than 50% on
the effective date of the Coverage Form.

However, the Named Insured does not
include any subsidiary that is an "insured"
under any other automobile policy or
would be an "insured" under such a policy
but for its termination or the exhaustion of
its Limit of Insurance.
(2) Any organization that is acquired or
formed by you and over which you
maintain majority ownership. However,
the Named Insured does not include any
newly formed or acquired organization:
(a) That is a partnership or joint venture,
(b) That is an "insured" under any other
policy,
(c) That has exhausted its Limit of
Insurance under any other policy, or
(d) 180 days or more after its acquisition
or formation by you, unless you have
given us notice of the acquisition or
formation.

Coverage does not apply to "bodily injury"
or "property damage" that results from an
"accident" that occurred before you
formed or acquired the organization.
e. Employees as Insureds
(1). Any "employee" of yours while using a
covered "auto" you don't own, hire or
borrow in your business or your personal
affairs.
f. Lessors as Insureds
(1). The lessor of a covered "auto" while the
"auto" is leased to you under a written
agreement if:
(a) The agreement requires you to
provide direct primary insurance for
the lessor and
(b) The "auto" is leased without a driver.

Such a leased "auto" will be considered a
covered "auto" you own and not a covered
"auto" you hire.
g. Additional Insured if Required by Contract
(1) When you have agreed, in a written
contract or written agreement, that a
person or organization be added as an
additional insured on your business auto
policy, such person or organization is an
"insured", but only to the extent such
person or organization is liable for "bodily
injury" or "property damage" caused by
the conduct of an "insured" under
paragraphs a. or b. of Who Is An Insured
with regard to the ownership,
maintenance or use of a covered "auto."
The insurance afforded to any such
additional insured applies only if the
"bodily injury" or "property damage"
occurs:
(a) During the policy period, and
(b) Subsequent to the execution of such
written contract, and
Form HA 99 16 12 21 Page 1 of 5
© 2021, The Hartford
(Includes copyrighted material of Insurance Services Office, Inc. with its permission.) Policy Number: 61UECDG6360
Effective Date: 12/3/2025 – 12/3/2026
(c) Prior to the expiration of the period of
time that the written contract requires
such insurance be provided to the
additional insured.
(2) How Limits Apply
If you have agreed in a written contract or
written agreement that another person or
organization be added as an additional
insured on your policy, the most we will
pay on behalf of such additional insured is
the lesser of:
(a) The limits of insurance specified in the
written contract or written agreement;
or
(b) The Limits of Insurance shown in the
Declarations.

Such amount shall be a part of and not in
addition to Limits of Insurance shown in
the Declarations and described in this
Section.
(3) Additional Insureds Other Insurance
If we cover a claim or "suit" under this
Coverage Part that may also be covered
by other insurance available to an
additional insured, such additional insured
must submit such claim or "suit" to the
other insurer for defense and indemnity.

However, this provision does not apply to
the extent that you have agreed in a
written contract or written agreement that
this insurance is primary and
non-contributory with the additional
insured's own insurance.
(4) Duties in The Event Of Accident, Claim,
Suit or Loss
If you have agreed in a written contract or
written agreement that another person or
organization be added as an additional
insured on your policy, the additional
insured shall be required to comply with
the provisions in LOSS CONDITIONS 2. -

DUTIES IN THE EVENT OF ACCIDENT,
CLAIM , SUIT OR LOSS – OF SECTION
IV – BUSINESS AUTO CONDITIONS, in
the same manner as the Named Insured.

2. Primary and Non-Contributory if Required
by Contract
Only with respect to insurance provided to an
additional insured in A.1.g. - Additional
Insured If Required by Contract, the following
provisions apply:
(1) Primary Insurance When Required By
Contract
This insurance is primary if you have
agreed in a written contract or written
agreement that this insurance be primary.

If other insurance is also primary, we will
share with all that other insurance by the
method described in Other Insurance 5.d.
(2) Primary And Non-Contributory To Other
Insurance When Required By Contract
If you have agreed in a written contract or
written agreement that this insurance is
primary and non-contributory with the
additional insured's own insurance, this
insurance is primary and we will not seek
contribution from that other insurance.

Paragraphs (1) and (2) do not apply to other
insurance to which the additional insured has
been added as an additional insured.

When this insurance is excess, we will have
no duty to defend the insured against any
"suit" if any other insurer has a duty to defend
the insured against that "suit". If no other
insurer defends, we will undertake to do so,
but we will be entitled to the insured's rights
against all those other insurers.

When this insurance is excess over other
insurance, we will pay only our share of the
amount of the loss, if any, that exceeds the
sum of:
(1) The total amount that all such other
insurance would pay for the loss in the
absence of this insurance; and
(2) The total of all deductible and self-insured
amounts under all that other insurance.

We will share the remaining loss, if any, by
the method described in SECTION IV-
Business Auto Conditions, B. General
Conditions, Other Insurance 5.d.

3. AUTOS RENTED BY EMPLOYEES
Any "auto" hired or rented by your "employee" on
your behalf and at your direction will be
considered an "auto" you hire.

The SECTION IV- Business Auto Conditions, B.

General Conditions, 5. OTHER INSURANCE
Condition is amended by adding the following:
e. If an "employee’s" personal insurance also
applies on an excess basis to a covered
"auto" hired or rented by your "employee" on
your behalf and at your direction, this
insurance will be primary to the "employee’s"
personal insurance.

Policy Number: 61UECDG6360
Effective Date: 12/3/2025 – 12/3/2026

4. AMENDED FELLOW EMPLOYEE EXCLUSION
EXCLUSION 5. - FELLOW EMPLOYEE - of
SECTION II - LIABILITY COVERAGE does not
apply if you have workers' compensation
insurance in-force covering all of your
"employees".

Coverage is excess over any other collectible
insurance.

5. HIRED AUTO PHYSICAL DAMAGE COVERAGE
If hired "autos" are covered "autos" for Liability
Coverage and if Comprehensive, Specified
Causes of Loss, or Collision coverages are
provided under this Coverage Form for any "auto"
you own, then the Physical Damage Coverages
provided are extended to "autos" you hire or
borrow, subject to the following limit.

The most we will pay for "loss" to any hired "auto"
is:
(1) $100,000;
(2) The actual cash value of the damaged or
stolen property at the time of the "loss"; or
(3) The cost of repairing or replacing the
damaged or stolen property,
whichever is smallest, minus a deductible. The
deductible will be equal to the largest deductible
applicable to any owned "auto" for that coverage.

No deductible applies to "loss" caused by fire or
lightning. Hired Auto Physical Damage coverage
is excess over any other collectible insurance.

Subject to the above limit, deductible and excess
provisions, we will provide coverage equal to the
broadest coverage applicable to any covered
"auto" you own.

We will also cover loss of use of the hired "auto" if
it results from an "accident", you are legally liable
and the lessor incurs an actual financial loss,
subject to a maximum of $1000 per "accident".

This extension of coverage does not apply to any
"auto" you hire or borrow from any of your
"employees", partners (if you are a partnership),
members (if you are a limited liability company),
or members of their households.

6. PHYSICAL DAMAGE - ADDITIONAL

TEMPORARY TRANSPORTATION EXPENSE

COVERAGE
Paragraph A.4.a. of SECTION III - PHYSICAL
DAMAGE COVERAGE is amended to provide a
limit of $50 per day and a maximum limit of
$1,000.

7. LOAN/LEASE GAP COVERAGE
Under SECTION III - PHYSICAL DAMAGE
COVERAGE, in the event of a total "loss" to a
covered "auto", we will pay your additional legal
obligation for any difference between the actual
cash value of the "auto" at the time of the "loss"
and the "outstanding balance" of the loan/lease.
"Outstanding balance" means the amount you
owe on the loan/lease at the time of "loss" less

FOLLOW FORM ENVIRONMENTAL EXCESS LIABILITY POLICY
Various provisions of this Policy restrict coverage. Please read entire Policy carefully to determine rights, duties and what is and is not covered.

Throughout this Policy the words “you” and “your” refer to t he first named insured, and any other person or organization qualifying as a Named Insured under this Polic y. The words “we” , “us” and “our” refer to the company providing this insurance. The word “insured” means any p erson or organization qualifying as such under the principal underlying insurance.

Defined terms, other than headings, appear in bold face type. R efer to Section IV - Definitions . Other words and phrases that are not defined under this Policy but are defi ned in the underlying insurance will have the meaning described in the underlying insurance. The headings do not constitute terms or conditions of this Policy and are included solely for convenience. The heading shall not in any manner modify or otherwise a"ect any of the provisions of this Policy.

In consideration of the payment of premium and in reliance upon the application, which is incorporated and made a part of this Policy, we agree as follows:

I. Insuring Agreement
A. Coverage

1. To pay on your behalf that portion of ultimate net loss in excess of the retained limit that the insured becomes legally obligated to pay as damages to which this Policy applies. Except as provided herein, coverage under this Policy will follow form to, and apply in conformance with, the provisions of the principal underlying insurance provided, however, that in no event will this Policy provide broader coverage than the most restrictive policy of underlying insurance. To the extent the provisions of the underlying insurance di"er or conflict with this Policy, the provisions of this Policy will control. If coverage does not exist under any applicable underlying insurance, coverage will not exist under this Policy.

2. There may be more than one underlying insurance policy listed in the Declarations and there may be terms and provisions in those policies which are in conflict, and which are not superseded by the provisions of this Policy. In such a case, the provisions, exclusions and limitations of the underlying insurance policy applicable to the particular event for which a claim is made will apply.

3. If the underlying insurance requires, for a particular claim, that the damage occur during its policy period in order for that coverage to apply, then this Policy will only apply to that damage if it occurs during the policy period. If the underlying insurance requires that the event causing the particular damage take place during its policy period in order for that coverage to apply, then this Policy will apply to the claim only if the event causing that damage take place during the policy period. If the underlying insurance requires that any particular claim for damage be first made against an insured during the applicable policy period of the underlying insurance and reported to the underlying insurer during such policy period, then this Policy will only apply to that damage if the claim is first made against an insured during the policy period, and reported to us during the policy period in accordance with this Policy’s notice and reporting provisions.

Policy Number: WEI-EX-001919-00
Effective Date: 12/3/2025 – 12/3/2026
2 | P a g e SWENV-EXLL-POL-001-1224

4. We will have no further obligation under this Policy to any insured upon exhaustion of the applicable limits of liability shown at Section 5 in the Declarations.

5. In no event will this Policy follow form to or apply to any of the following provisions contained in any underlying insurance:
a. Kidnap, Ransom or Extorsion.
b. Liberalization: Any clause stipulating automatic expansion of coverage with or without an additional premium because of, including but not limited to, legislative acts, acts of insurance regulatory authorities, to comply with statutory provisions or due to an underlying insurer’s policies revision, except as provided for under Section III. Conditions, Paragraph D., Changes. c. Medical Payments: Any medical payments in which payments are not predicated on fault. d. No Fault Coverage: Any automobile no-fault coverage, personal injury protection, uninsured or underinsured motorists’ coverage or any similar coverage required by law, regulation or ordinance.
e. Sublimits of Insurance: Any coverage subject to a sublimit of insurance unless cover age for such sublimit of insurance is specifically endorsed to this Policy.

II. Limits Of Insurance
A. Excess Limits of Liability
Our liability under this Policy is subject to the limits of liability specified in Section 5 of the Declarations and is applicable only in excess of the retained limit. The limits provided under this policy shall apply as follows:

1. Per Occurrence Limit
Subject to the aggregate limit in paragraph 2. below, the “Per Occurrence Limit” of liability shown at Section 5 of the Declarations is the most we will pay for the sum of all ultimate net loss under this Policy because of all damage arising out of any one event, regardless of the number of insureds, claims made, or persons or entities bringing claims. This limit applies to all covered damages arising out of a single event. All damages arising out of or connected to the same, similar, related or connected facts or circumstances, or series of interrelated facts or circumstances, are deeme d to be one single event.

2. Aggregate Limit
The “Aggregate Limit” shown in Section 5 the Declarations is the most we will pay for the sum of all ultimate net loss for all damage covered under this Policy, regardless of the number of insureds, events, claims made, or persons or entities bringing claims.

B. Application of Limit
Our liability under this Policy shall attach only upon the reduction or exhaustion of the retained limit, as follows:

Policy Number: WEI-EX-001919-00
Effective Date: 12/3/2025 – 12/3/2026
3 | P a g e SWENV-EXLL-POL-001-1224

1. Reduction of Limits:

If the retained limit is reduced due to the payment of ultimate net loss covered by the most restrictive policy of underlying insurance , this Policy shall apply as excess insurance above the reduced limits.

2. Exhaustion of Limits:

If the retained limit is fully exhausted due to the payment of ultimate net loss covered by the most restrictive policy of underlying insurance, this Policy shall respond as primary insurance, subject to the application of any per- event self-insured retention or deductible stated in the principal underlying insurance. Such retention or deductible shall apply to any subsequent loss as specified in the principal underlying insurance.

3. No Drop-Down Coverage
This Policy will not "drop down" or respond as primary insurance for any reason other than the circumstances outlined in Section II – Limits of Liability, Paragraph B, above, including, but not limited to:
a. The uncollectibility of any portion of the underlying insurance , whether due to financial impairment, insolvency, or failure of the underlying insurance to pay; or b. Reductions in the limits of the underlying insurance due to payments for claims or liabilities not covered by this Policy.

4. Limits Recognition for Attachment
a. For the purposes of determining the attachment of this Policy, the exhaustion or reduction of the retained limit shall be recognized only to the extent of payments made for claims that are covered under this Policy.
b. Payments made by the underlying insurance for claims or liabilities excluded from coverage under this Policy or any endorsements hereto shall not be considered in determining the attachment of this Policy.

C. Defense Costs and Supplementary Payments
If defense costs and supplementary payments are included within and reduce the limits of liability o f the principal underlying insurance , then defense costs and supplementary payments will similarly reduce the limits of liability of this Policy. Conversely, if defense costs and supplementary payments do not reduce the limits of the principal underlying insurance, they will not reduce the Limits of Liability of this Policy. Any defense costs payable under this Policy are limited to the r ates we actually pay to defense counsel we regularly retain in the ordinary course of business in the defense of similar claims in the community where the claim is being defended.

D. Reinstatement of Limits
The limits of liability under this Policy are not reinstated after payment of any porti on of ultimate net loss. Once the Aggregate Limit of insurance shown at Section 5 of the Declarations has been exhausted, we will have no further obligation to pay ultimate net loss or to defend an insured under this Policy.

Policy Number: WEI-EX-001919-00
Effective Date: 12/3/2025 – 12/3/2026
4 | P a g e SWENV-EXLL-POL-001-1224
III. Conditions
A. Appeals
If the underlying insurer or insured elects not to appeal a judgment in excess of the amount of the retained limit, we may do so at our own expense. We will also pay for taxable court costs, pre- and post judgment interest and disbursements associated with such appeal. In no event will this provision increase our liability beyond the applicable Limits of Liability described in Section II – Limits of Liability.

B. Assistance and Cooperation
We have the right, but not the duty, to assume control of the defense or settlement of any claim or suit to which this Policy applies, provided the retained limit has been fully exhausted. If we assume control, we will withdraw and tender the defense back to you once this Policy’s Per Occurrence or Aggregate limit of liability, as applicable, is exhausted.

If we do not assume control or if underlying insurance limits are not exhausted, we retain the right to associate with you, the underlying insurer, or both, in the defense or settlement of claims likely to involve this Policy. All parties must fully cooperate in the defense, investigation, or settlement of claims.

You must obtain our prior written consent to: (i) settle any claim or suit; or (ii) incur defense costs that may implicate this Policy. Any settlement or costs incurred without our consent will be at your expense.

Failure to cooperate with us in the investigation or defense of any claim covered under this Policy will be deemed prejudicial to our interests, and at our sole discretion, may relieve us o f all of our obligations under this Policy with respect to such claim.

C. Cancellation and Nonrenewal

1. The first named insured may cancel this Policy at any time by providing us with advance written notice of the cancellation date. If the Policy is canceled by the first named insured , any return premium will be calculated on a short-rate basis, unless otherwise stated in the Declarations, subject to any applicable minimum earned premium.

2. We may cancel this Policy by providing written notice to the first named insured at least:
a. 10 days before the effective date of cancellation if the cancellation is due to non-payment of premium; or
b. 60 days before the effective date of cancellation for any other reason permitted by law.

Notice of cancellation will state the reason for cancellation and the effective date. The Policy will terminate on the stated effective date.

3. If we decide not to renew this Policy, we will provide written notice of non-renewal to the first named insured at least 60 days before the Policy's expiration date. Notice of non-renewal will state the reason for the decision and the date on which the non-renewal becomes effective.

4. Any return premium due will be calculated on a pro-rata basis if the Policy is canceled by us. The return premium may be subject to adjustment for any minimum earned premium stated in the Declarations or applicable endorsements. Payment or tender of any return premium is not a condition precedent to the effectiveness of cancellation.

Policy Number: WEI-EX-001919-00
Effective Date: 12/3/2025 – 12/3/2026
5 | P a g e SWENV-EXLL-POL-001-1224

5. If notice of cancellation or non-renewal is mailed, proof of mailing to the last known address of the first named insured will be sufficient proof of notice.

6. Cancellation or non-renewal of this Policy does not affect any event reported to us prior to the effective date of cancellation or non-renewal, provided such event is otherwise covered under the terms of this Policy.

D. Changes
This Policy cannot be changed or assigned in any manner, except through our prior written consent and our issuance of an endorsement.

You must notify us in writing as soon as practicable of any changes to the terms, conditions, exclusions, or limitations of the underlying insurance during the policy period. This Policy will incorporate such changes only if:

1. We agree in writing to such changes by issuance of an endorsement to this Policy; and

2. You pay any required additional premium and accept any endorsements, or amendments.

Changes take effect on the date specified in the endorsement, subject to payment of any additional premium. Compliance with this clause is a condition precedent to coverage. Failure to notify us or meet these conditions may result in coverage remaining as originally stated at the Policy’s inception.

E. Choice of Law
This Policy shall be governed by, and construed exclusively in accordance with the law of the jurisdiction shown at Section 1 of the Declarations, without reference to any jurisdiction’s conflict of laws principles. Any disputes arising out of or relating to this Policy shall be resolved in a mut ually agreed jurisdiction. If no agreement is reached, the jurisdiction shown at Section 1 of the Declarations shall apply.

F. Examination of Your Books and Records
We may examine and audit your books and records as they relate to this Policy at any time during the policy period or any extended reporting period.

G. Maintenance of Underlying Insurance
You agree to maintain all underlying insurance in full effect during the term of this Policy, except for any reduction of the aggregate limits due to payment of covered claims. Failure to maintain underlying insurance will: (i) not invalidate insurance provided under this Policy, but insurance provided under this Policy will apply as if the underlying insurance were in full effect; and (ii) result in all insureds becoming self-insured for the limits of liability of such underlying insurance. You must notify us in writing as soon as practicable if any underlying insurance is cancelled, non-renewed, replaced or otherwise terminated, or of any changes to the scope or limits of liability of any underlying insurance.

H. Notice of Occurrence, Claim, or Suit
As a condition precedent to coverage under this Policy, you must provide written notice to us as soon as practicable after becoming aware of:

Policy Number: WEI-EX-001919-00
Effective Date: 12/3/2025 – 12/3/2026

2. Any event or circumstance that you reasonably believe could give rise to a claim under this Policy.

I. Other Insurance

When this insurance is excess, if no other insurer defends, we may at our sole discretion, undertake to do so, but we will be entitled to the insured's rights against all those other insurers.

2. When this insurance is excess over other insurance, we will pay only our share of the ultimate net loss that exceeds the sum of:

b. The total of all deductible and self-insured amounts under all that other insurance.

J. Sole Agent
The first named insured shall be responsible for all payments of premiums, and shall act on behalf of all other insureds with respect to the giving and receiving of notice of cancellation, receipt and acceptance of any endorsements to this Policy, receipt of any return premium that may become payable under this Policy, and the exercise of rights to any extended reporting period offered under this Policy.
