The Innovative Clean Transit (ICT) regulation became effective on October 1, 2019 and requires all California public transit agencies to gradually transition their bus fleets to zero-emission technologies. The ICT regulation applies to all transit agencies that own, operate, or lease buses with a gross vehicle rating (GVWR) greater than 14,000 pounds. It covers standard, articulated, over-the-road, double decker, and cutaway buses.
The ICT regulation requires a percentage of new bus purchases to be zero-emission buses (ZEBs). The ZEB purchase requirement increases gradually over time. The ZEB purchase requirements begin in 2023 and 2026 for large and small transit agencies, respectively. Starting 2029, 100 percent of all transit agencies’ new bus purchases must be ZEBs, with a goal of complete transition to ZEBs (all buses in each transit agency’s fleet to be ZEMs) by 2040.
The ICT regulation requires each transit agency to submit a complete Zero-Emission Bus Rollout Plan before ZEB purchase requirement take effect. The Rollout Plan is meant to be a living document and should guide the deployment of zero-emission bus fleets and help transit agencies work through many of the potential challenges and explore solutions. Transit agencies should provide estimated timelines based on best available information for their bus purchases, infrastructure upgrades, workforce training, or any other timelines in a Rollout Plan. After the submission of the Rollout Plan, a transit agency may update the Rollout Plan as needed. It is recommended that major updates be resubmitted to the CARB.
Compton Transportation System
The City of Compton operates the Compton Renaissance Fixed Route Transit system and the Dial-A-Ride program consisting of Compress Natural Gas Vehicle and convention fuel vehicles.

8 Section F: Services in Disadvantaged Communities
Does your transit agency serve one or more disadvantage communities, as listed in the latest version of CalEnvironScreen? Yes
a. If yes, please describe how your transit agency is planning to deploy zero-emission buses in disadvantage communities?
According to the California Office of Environmental health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA), disadvantaged communities are defined as the top 25% in terms of scoring in the CalEnviroScreen. CalEnviroScreen is a tool that identifies communities that are most vulnerable to pollution by using environmental, health, and socioeconomic data to produce a score for every census tract within the State of California.
Based on the Cities listed in the latest version of CalEnviroScreen, the Compton Renaissance Transit Services disadvantages communities and will continue for the foreseeable future. When the transit service vehicles are replaced, the community will be provided with cleaner, quieter services to the local ridership

FROM: CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON ADOPTING THE FISCAL YEAR 2026-2027 SB 1 PROJECT LIST
FUNDED BY THE ROAD MAINTENANCE AND REHABILITATION
ACCOUNT (RMRA)
SUMMARY
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution approving the proposed list of transportation infrastructure projects to be funded in Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-2027 through Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.
Adoption of this Resolution is required in order for the City of Compton to receive Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) funding for the upcoming fiscal year.
BACKGROUND
Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (Chapter 5, Statutes of 2017), was enacted to address statewide transportation funding shortfalls affecting local streets and roads, state highways, and transit systems.
SB 1 established the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA), which provides dedicated annual funding to cities and counties for eligible street and roadway maintenance, rehabilitation, and safety improvement projects. As a condition of receiving RMRA funds each fiscal year, agencies are required to adopt a Resolution identifying:
A list of proposed projects to receive funding;
Project locations and general descriptions;
Anticipated project delivery schedules; and
Estimated useful life of each proposed improvement.
These accountability and transparency provisions ensure that residents are informed of how transportation revenues are invested within their community and which projects are completed each fiscal year.
For FY 2026-2027, the City of Compton is estimated to receive approximately $2,696,172 in RMRA funding. This represents the eighth consecutive year that the City will receive SB 1 funding to support essential infrastructure improvements. These funds supplement, and do not replace, existing local transportation funding.
25.25. Staff Report – SB 1 Project List to be Funded in Fiscal Year 2026-2027 April 28, 2026, Page 2 of 3
The City utilizes its Pavement Management System (PMS) to evaluate roadway conditions and prioritize projects based on pavement condition index, safety considerations, and cost-effectiveness. This data-driven approach supports the development of an annual SB 1 project list that aligns available funding with the City’s highest-priority transportation infrastructure needs.
Funding provided through SB 1 enables the City to:
Maintain and rehabilitate deteriorated roadway infrastructure; Implement safety improvements for all roadway users;
Upgrade pedestrian accessibility and mobility features; and Support complete streets and active transportation elements.
According to the 2023 California Statewide Local Streets and Roads Needs Assessment, the City of Compton’s roadway network is currently categorized as being in an “at risk” condition. RMRA funding will assist the City in improving pavement conditions and preserving roadway assets over time.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
In order to remain eligible to receive RMRA funding for FY 2026-2027, the City must adopt a Resolution approving the annual list of projects proposed for SB 1 funding.
Adoption of the proposed project list will also reaffirm the City’s commitment to delivering previously adopted and ongoing roadway rehabilitation projects utilizing available RMRA revenues.
Failure to adopt the Resolution will result in the City’s inability to access FY 2026-2027 SB 1 RMRA funds as required by SB 1 program guidelines.
FISCAL IMPACT
Based on statewide revenue projections prepared by the California Department of Finance as of January 15, 2026, the City of Compton is anticipated to receive approximately $2,696,172 in Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) funding for FY 2026-2027.
These funds are restricted to eligible transportation maintenance and rehabilitation activities in accordance with SB 1 program requirements.
ALTERNATIVE
State law requires the City to adopt an annual list of projects proposed to receive RMRA funding through SB 1. As such, no alternative actions are recommended.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution approving the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 SB 1 project list in accordance with the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.

SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON
INITIATING PROCEEDINGS FOR THE LEVY AND COLLECTION OF
ASSESSMENTS WITHIN THE CITY OF COMPTON LANDSCAPE AND
LIGHTING ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 1 FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026- 2027, RECEIVING AND PRELIMINARILY APPROVING THE
ENGINEER’S REPORT, AND SETTING A PUBLIC HEARING
PURSUANT TO PART 2 OF DIVISION 15 OF THE CALIFORNIA
STREETS AND HIGHWAYS CODE
SUMMARY
Adoption of the proposed Resolution will:
Initiate the annual proceedings required to levy and collect assessments within the City of Compton Landscape and Lighting Assessment District No. 1 for Fiscal Year 2026-2027;
Receive and preliminarily approve the Engineer’s Report in connection with these proceedings; and
Set a public hearing for 5:45 pm on May 19, 2026 at the Compton City Council Chambers to consider the levy of assessments for Fiscal Year 2026-2027.
BACKGROUND
The City of Compton previously established a citywide Landscape and Lighting Assessment District No. 1 (“District”) to fund the ongoing maintenance, servicing, and operation of public improvements that provide special benefit to properties within the District. These improvements include, but are not limited to:
Street lighting systems;
Traffic signals;
Parkway landscaping;
Public right-of-way landscape improvements; and
Related appurtenant facilities.
Pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (“1972 Act”), the City must annually levy and collect assessments to fund the maintenance and servicing of these improvements that provide special benefit to assessed parcels within the District.
26.26.26. Staff Report – Initiating Proceedings for Levy and Collection of Assessments within Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District No. 1 for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 April 28, 2026, Page 2 of 3
The Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 has been prepared and filed with the City Clerk and is presented to the City Council for preliminary approval in connection with the initiation of these proceedings. The Report describes:
District boundaries and benefit zones;
Improvements to be maintained and serviced;
Method of apportionment;
Proposed assessment rates; and
Estimated costs associated with maintenance, operation, and servicing of District improvements.
The proposed assessments are based on the historical and estimated costs necessary to maintain improvements that provide special benefit to properties within the District for the period beginning July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027.
Adoption of the Resolution of Intention will set a public hearing for May 19, 2026 to consider the levy of assessments for Fiscal Year 2026-2027.
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
State law requires that the City annually initiate proceedings to levy Landscape and Lighting Assessment District assessments. Prior to levying these assessments, the City Council must adopt a Resolution initiating the proceedings and preliminarily approving the Engineer’s Report.
The improvements maintained and serviced through the District provide special benefit to properties within the District, as detailed in the Engineer’s Report, and are therefore eligible to be funded only through annual assessments pursuant to Article XIII D of the California Constitution.
Assessments collected within the District are used to fund the maintenance and operation of:
Approximately 6,207 streetlights within the District, including 1,494 City-owned lights;
Traffic signal infrastructure; and
Parkway and right-of-way landscaping improvements located throughout the City.
Assessment revenues may also be used to support future system reliability improvements consistent with the City’s planned Citywide Street Light Replacement Project. In addition, assessment revenues support ongoing operational costs associated with electricity, irrigation, routine maintenance, repairs, and related administrative services necessary to maintain District improvements.
Staff Report – Initiating Proceedings for Levy and Collection of Assessments within Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District No. 1 for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 April 28, 2026, Page 3 of 3
Initiation of these proceedings and preliminary approval of the Engineer’s Report are required in order for the City to continue collecting assessments that offset the Public Works Department’s cost of maintaining lighting, landscaping, and traffic signal infrastructure that provide special benefit to properties within the District.
ALTERNATIVE
The City Council may choose not to initiate the assessment proceedings. However, failure to do so would prevent the City from levying and collecting annual assessments necessary to fund the maintenance and operation of lighting, landscaping, and traffic signal improvements that provide special benefit within the District, thereby requiring the use of General Fund resources or a reduction in service levels.
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed assessment rates for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 remain unchanged from those approved in Fiscal Year 2025-2026 and prior years.
The estimated total net amount to be assessed within the District for Fiscal Year 2026- 2027 is approximately $4.2 million in annual assessment revenue. Assessment revenues will be allocated within the Public Works Department’s Fiscal Year 2026-2027 operating budget to support the maintenance, servicing, and operation of District improvements, including utilities, materials, personnel, and contracted maintenance services.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the Resolution initiating proceedings for the levy and collection of assessments within the City of Compton Landscape and Lighting Assessment District No. 1 for Fiscal Year 2026-2027, receiving and preliminarily approving the Engineer’s Report, and setting a public hearing for May 19, 2026.

2026/2027 City of Compton – Landscape and Lighting District No. 1 Page 1 I. INTRODUCTION
The City of Compton (“City”) annually levies and collects special assessments in order to maintain the improvements that provide special benefit to properties within the Compton Landscape and Lighting District No.1 (“District”). Assessments are levied annually for the District pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (the “1972 Act”).
The Engineer’s Report (“Report”) describes the District, applicable changes to the District, including any annexations or substantial changes in the improvements, and the proposed assessments for the fiscal year commencing July 1, 2026 and ending June 30, 2027 (“2026/2027”). The assessments are based on the historical and estimated cost to maintain the improvements that provide a special benefit to properties within the District and Zones, as described herein. The improvements within the District and the corresponding costs, including all expenditures, deficits, surpluses, revenues, and reserves, are assessed for each Zone.
For the purposes of this Report, the word “parcel” refers to an individual property assigned its own Assessment Number by the Los Angeles County Assessor’s Office. The Los Angeles County Auditor/Controller uses Assessment Numbers and specific Fund Numbers to identify properties assessed for special district benefit assessments on the tax roll.
Following consideration of all public comments and written protests at a noticed public hearing and review of the Engineer’s Report, the City Council may order amendments to the Report or confirm the Report as submitted. Following final approval of the Report and confirmation of the assessments, the Council may then order the levy and collection of assessments for fiscal year 2026/2027 pursuant to the 1972 Act. In such case, the assessment information will be submitted to the County Auditor/Controller and included on the property tax roll for each assessable parcel in fiscal year 2026/2027.
II. PROVISIONS OF THE 1972 ACT

The plans and specifications for the operation, maintenance and servicing of the landscaping are on file in the office of the City Clerk, the City Engineer and the various service departments where they are available for public inspection. The plans and specifications are voluminous and are not bound in this Report but by this reference are incorporated herein and made a part of this Report.
C. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE DISTRICT AND SERVICES
The District and assessments provide for the continued maintenance, servicing and operation of the improvements within the District boundaries. The District is divided into seven (7) distinct benefit Zones categorized by land use and the special benefit received from the improvements as outlined in Section IV B. It has been determined that the assessed parcels receive special benefits from the improvements. It is the opinion of the public works supervisors that, on a long-term basis, an equality of effort and expenditure is achieved throughout the District.
Parcels identified as being within the District share in both the cost and the benefits of the improvements. The costs associated with the improvements, are equitably spread between benefiting parcels within the District. Only parcels that receive benefit from the improvements are assessed, and each parcel is assessed in proportion to the estimated
2026/2027 City of Compton – Landscape and Lighting District No. 1 Page 12 special benefit received. The funds collected from the assessments are dispersed and used for the maintenance, services and operation of the improvements provided within the District. Properties receive the following special benefits from the District improvements:
Adequate lighting on public streets and traffic signals to control the flow of traffic and pedestrians are considered important for their contribution to public convenience and safety. Protection of property and reduction of traffic accidents are specific benefits that properties realize within the District. The lighting benefit is directly related to safety and property protection and therefore increases the perceived and actual usability of residential, commercial and industrial properties. Placement of and the intensity of street lighting has received past and ongoing studies by the City officials and consultants with the intent of intensifying such lighting in the area from the curb to the property line and also the onsite level of lighting. Traffic signals contribute to the control of traffic, thereby providing a measure of safety and pedestrian and vehicular accessibility to residential, commercial and industrial properties. Community activities are increased when public infrastructure such as streetlights and traffic signals are in place, improved, operable, safe and well maintained.
The maintenance of parkways, including landscaping and trees is of necessity, an ongoing and long-range activity. Properties within the District receive special benefit from the landscaping improvements through improved erosion resistance, dust and debris control, reduced vandalism, enhanced urban environment and improved aesthetic appeal of the properties. As a result of the age of the development of various areas, the level of deterioration within the City and in particular neighborhoods is different, requiring different types and levels of maintenance effort. The intent of the public works staff is to reduce complaints and problems while achieving an acceptable level of maintenance in all areas.
The ongoing attempt is to achieve clean, graffiti free streets while maintaining the newer areas and upgrading the older areas.
In fiscal year 2024/2025, the City created a City-Wide Street Light Replacement Project.
The project is in the planning stages and is currently identified in the District Budget as a levy adjustment item. This collection will be allocated towards the expense of the project.
IV. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
A. METHODOLOGY
The assessments and method of apportionment described in this Report utilizes commonly accepted assessment engineering practices and have been established pursuant to the 1972 Act. Any new or increased assessment will be subject to the substantive and procedural requirements of the Constitution, Article XIIID, Section 4.
Pursuant to the 1972 Act, the costs of the District may be apportioned by any formula or method that fairly distributes the net amount to be assessed among all assessable parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each parcel from the improvements. The benefit formula used should reflect the composition of the parcels, and the improvements and services provided, to fairly proportion the costs based on special benefit to each parcel.
2026/2027 City of Compton – Landscape and Lighting District No. 1 Page 13 To reflect the composition of the parcels the District has been divided into seven (7) distinct benefit Zones as follows:
ZONE DESCRIPTIONS
1 Residential
2 Commercial
3 Heavy Manufacturing
4 Limited Manufacturing
5 Gateway Towne Center
6 Churches
7 Exempt
The methodology is based on the parcel’s land use and size compared to other parcels that are associated with the improvements. For example, an examination of the lighting pattern and lumens of light provided indicates that the lighting intensity in general is much greater in front of non-residential properties than in residential areas or residential properties. The additional lighting provides greater benefit to such non-residential properties because it provides additional protection from robberies and vandalism and provides an enhanced appearance and increased safety for access by potential customers.
In the Residential Zone, all the parcels in the District receive a basic similar special benefit from the improvements, due to their similarity in use and proximity to the improvements.
However, with frontage, a major factor in development and potential usage, adjusted front footage has been used as a measure of such development and use benefit.
In the Commercial Zones, the special benefit to each parcel is derived not only from the benefits to the property as described above, but also the enhancement of the property through the enhanced ability to attract clients, employees, and customers to the parcel.
The estimated cost of the improvements in a Commercial Zone has been divided among the parcels within the Zone according to the adjusted front footage of each parcel in the Zone.
The City of Compton has traditionally recognized the role of church and schools in the community; the contribution of churches and church schools in meeting educational, welfare and recreational needs of youth and others; the influence of churches in stabilizing the community and thereby reducing crime and other costs; the role of churches in meeting the nutritional and emotional needs of senior and low income persons; and has partially recognized the reduced costs which are experienced by the community by reason of the above services to society by assigning a reduced assessment rate for churches.
Public property owned by any public agency and in use in the performance of a public function, which is included within the boundary of the District, shall not be subject to the assessment. Other properties that are considered exempt from the assessments are those that receive little or no benefit from the improvements, have restricted development or provide substantially similar improvements, such as common areas, flood control drainage, right-of-way and rivers.
The cost of the improvements has been apportioned to all assessable parcels within the District on an adjusted front footage basis. Table II in the District Budget section of this
2026/2027 City of Compton – Landscape and Lighting District No. 1 Page 14 Report shows the per lineal foot assessment within each of the seven (7) Zones based on the three improvement categories composed of lighting, landscape and traffic signals.
The Los Angeles County Assessor's maps were utilized to determine the front footage of each respective parcel within the District. Adjustments have been made to the frontage shown in the Assessor' maps for corner, odd shaped and interior (no street frontage) lots.
The criteria used to determine front footage is as follows:
LOT
TYPE CRITERIA
1. Rectangular Lots Street frontage on a public street
2. Irregular Shaped
Lots
(a) Width of lot at set back line, or
(b) Average of front and rear lot line lengths, or
(c) Street frontage, whichever is most
representative of benefit
3. Flag Lots One-half of the lot width as measured on the rear lot line, which is parallel to the public street
4. Corner Lots
The narrowest frontage on a public street if
residential, average of both frontages if non-
residential
5. Interior Parcels Front footage and number of parcels
6. Condominiums Front footage and number of parcels
Other unusual or rarely occurring conditions shall be treated in accordance with the Landscape and Lighting District Procedures Manual or based on prior accepted procedures.
B. ASSESSMENT
Assessment is comprised of three categories: lighting, landscape and signals.
Assessment rate per front foot for each of the three categories are outlined in Table II of this report. As an example, for a residential parcel with front footage of 50 feet, total assessment amount is calculated as follows:
(50 * $0.935 [lighting assessment]) + (50 * $1.886 [landscape assessment]) + (50 * $0.244 [signals assessment]) = $153.25
2026/2027 City of Compton – Landscape and Lighting District No. 1 Page 15 V. DISTRICT BUDGETS
The 1972 Act provides that the estimated costs of the improvements shall include the total cost of the improvements for the fiscal year, incidental expenses, and may include reserves to operate the District until assessment collections are transmitted to the City from the County.
The 1972 Act also provides that the amount of any surplus, deficit, or contribution must be included in the estimated cost of improvements. The net amount to be assessed on the lots or parcels within the District is the total cost of installation, maintenance, and servicing with adjustments either positive or negative for reserves, surpluses, deficits, and/or contributions.
The estimated net amount to be assessed for fiscal year 2026/2027 is $4,200,000.56. Table III shows a summary of the total assessments per Zone for the three improvement categories of lighting, landscape and traffic signals. The rates of assessment are the same as the rates approved in fiscal year 2025/2026 and prior years.
A summary of the estimated costs for the District for fiscal year 2026/2027 is shown in Table I of this Section.
A. DESCRIPTION OF BUDGET ITEMS
The following describes the costs funded through the District and shown in the budget.
Personnel (Salary and Benefits) - The cost of City department staff personnel involved in providing the coordination for maintenance and servicing, responding to public concerns and levying and collecting assessments. This includes, where appropriate, reimbursement for time spent by other City staff such as Finance and Accounting, the City Attorney, the City Manager, City Council and the Public Works staff.
Materials and Equipment - Includes all material and equipment required to properly maintain, service and operate the improvements within the District by City staff and others.
All improvements within the District will be maintained and serviced on a regular basis.
The frequency and specific maintenance operations required will be determined by City staff and in certain instances are incorporated in the agreements with the Southern California Edison Company.
Street Maintenance and Repairs - Repairs that are unforeseen and not normally included in the yearly maintenance cost. This may include repair of damage due to vandalism, storms and other natural occurrences, planned upgrades of the improvements and the cost of subcontractors for maintenance and other services, including tree trimming.
Utilities (Electricity and Water) - The furnishing of water required for the irrigation of the parkway and median landscaping and the maintenance of the ornamental structures and appurtenant facilities. The furnishing of electricity as required for the operation of the street lighting, traffic signals, parkway and median controls and appurtenant facilities, as outlined in agreements with the Southern California Edison Company and under rates as set by the Public Utilities Commission.
Cost Allocation Plan (“CAP”) - Summarizes a comprehensive analysis completed for the City of Compton, California (the “City”) to determine the appropriate allocation of costs
2026/2027 City of Compton – Landscape and Lighting District No. 1 Page 16 from City central service departments to the departments that provide services directly to the community. The primary objective is to allocate costs from departments that provide services internally to operating departments that conduct the day-to-day operations necessary to serve the community. These internal service costs are those: (a) incurred for a common or joint purpose benefiting more than one cost objective, and (b) not readily assignable to the cost objectives specifically benefitted, without effort disproportionate to the results achieved. The term “indirect costs,” as used herein, applies to costs of this type originating in the central service departments. Typical central service departments include the City Manager and City Controller, whereas typical operating departments include Fire, Public Works, and enterprise funds.
To ensure central service department costs are appropriately allocated to the operating departments, we analyzed and identified expenditures to determine which costs are allowable versus unallowable in accordance with Office of Management and Budget (OMB)-87 principles. Costs that are typically considered to be unallowable include, but are not limited to: General Advertising, Entertainment, Award Ceremonies, Capital Improvements, Bad Debt, Lobbying, Contingencies, Legislative Body (City Council), Debt Service, Promotional Items.
As such, unallowable costs were excluded from this CAP, including indirect costs associated with City Council (reflected as a negative number under allowable costs).
County Administration – The administrative cost to apply the assessments on the secure tax roll each fiscal year.
Consultants and Professional Services – The costs of contracting with professionals to provide services specific to the levy administration, including preparation of the Engineer’s Report, resolutions, and levy submittal to the County. These fees also include any additional administrative, legal, and engineering services specific to the District such as costs to prepare and mail notices of the Public Hearing.
Operational Reserves Collection – Reserve used for upfront maintenance expenses until county apportionment is received.
Reserve Fund Credit – Represents contributions or transfers of funds from the District reserve fund.
Unfunded Costs – Represents revenue from other sources such as the City of Compton General Fund.
City-Wide Street Light Replacement Project – represents collections for a project to replace City-Wide streetlights beginning in FY2024-25.
Total Net Estimated Cost – Total direct cost plus total administrative costs less any transfers from the reserve fund or contributions from other revenue sources.
Total Parcels – The total number of parcels within the District.
Total Parcels Levied – The total number of parcels within the District that will receive special benefit and be assessed for the fiscal year.
2026/2027 City of Compton – Landscape and Lighting District No. 1 Page 17 Total Front Footage Levied – The total front footage of parcels within the District calculated according to the methodology detailed in this Report.
Assessment Amount – This is the total amount to be levied to the parcels within the District for the current fiscal year. The Balance to Levy represents the sum of the Total Direct and Administration Costs, plus any revenue adjustments resulting from the Reserve Fund, Beginning Balance, City Contributions, Other Revenue Sources, or Capital Improvement Fund. This dollar amount represents the total funds to be collected from the parcels through assessments on the property tax bills.

EXHIBIT B – ASSESSMENT ROLL
The proposed assessment amounts for fiscal year 2026/2027 for the Landscape and Lighting District are sent under separate cover and hereby referenced to in this report. Parcel identification, for each lot or parcel within the District shall be the Assessor Parcel Numbers as shown on the Los Angeles County Assessor's map for the year in which this Report is prepared.
The listing of parcels and the amount of assessment to be levied shall be submitted to the County Auditor/Controller and included on the property tax roll for each parcel in fiscal year 2026/2027.
If any parcel submitted for assessment is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an invalid parcel number or the parcel Land Use changes for the current fiscal year, a corrected parcel number and/or new parcel numbers will be identified and resubmitted to the County Auditor/Controller. The assessment/Charge amount to be levied and collected for the resubmitted parcel or parcels shall be based on the method of apportionment and assessment/Charge rates approved in this Report. Therefore, if a single parcel has changed to multiple parcels, the assessment amount applied to each of the new parcels shall be recalculated and applied according to the approved method of apportionment and assessment rate rather than a proportionate share of the original assessment. Similarly, if a parcel Land Use changes, the assessment/charge amount applied shall be recalculated and applied according to the approved method of apportionment and assessment rates.
April 28, 2026
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON
INITIATING PROCEEDINGS FOR THE LEVY AND COLLECTION OF
PROPERTY-RELATED SEWER SERVICE CHARGES WITHIN THE
COMPTON SEWER SERVICE CHARGE DISTRICT FOR FISCAL YEAR
2026-2027, RECEIVING AND PRELIMINARILY APPROVING THE
ENGINEER’S REPORT, AND SETTING A PUBLIC HEARING
PURSUANT TO THE MUNICIPAL IMPROVEMENT ACT OF 1913,
DIVISION 12 OF THE CALIFORNIA STREETS AND HIGHWAYS CODE
SUMMARY
Adoption of this resolution will:
Initiate proceedings for the levy and collection of property-related Sewer Service Charges within the Compton Sewer Service Charge District for Fiscal Year 2026- 2027;
Receive and preliminarily approve the Engineer’s Report pursuant to the Municipal Improvement Act of 1913, Division 12 of the California Streets and Highways Code; and
Set a Public Hearing for 6:00 pm on May 19, 2026 at the Compton City Council Chambers, at which time the City Council will consider the levy and collection of the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Sewer Service Charges.
BACKGROUND
To ensure a flow of funds for operation and maintenance of the sanitary sewer facilities within the boundaries of the City of Compton, the City Council previously established a citywide Sewer Service Charge District.
The monies collected by the City for the Sewer Service Charges are used for the maintenance of the existing sanitary sewer system and repayment of a portion of sewer bonds previously issued for the reconstruction of the City's sewer system. Maintenance includes the repair or replacement of damaged sewer mains, manholes and appurtenant structures in order to maintain the system for the health, safety and welfare of the parcels charged within the City. All work is performed within public streets or rights-of-way.
The Engineer’s Report for the City of Compton Sewer Service Charge has been prepared and filed with the City Clerk for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 in compliance with City Municipal Code and statutory requirements for the State of California.
27.27.27. Staff Report – Initiating Proceedings for the Levy and Collection of Property-Related Sewer Service Charges for Fiscal Year 2026-2027
April 28, 2026, Page 2 of 3
The Engineer’s Report includes the following:
A description of the existing sanitary sewer system improvements to be maintained;
The proposed Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Sewer Service Charge District budget; The methodology used to apportion the Sewer Service Charges based on historical water consumption;
A diagram of the Sewer Service Charge District; and
The proposed charge roll for Fiscal Year 2026-2027.
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
Annually, the City is required by statute to prepare and adopt Sewer Service Charges.
Prior to levying the annual charges, the City Council must adopt a resolution initiating proceedings for the Sewer Service Charges and preliminarily approving the Engineer’s Report.
Property-related Sewer Service Charges levied within the City of Compton’s Sewer Service Charge District are used to pay for maintenance and servicing of the sanitary sewer system, as well as rehabilitation and debt service obligations associated with sewer system bonds.
These charges are collected for the City by the Los Angeles County Tax Collector and are estimated to generate approximately $925,575 for Fiscal Year 2026-2027, as identified in the Engineer’s Report.
The Sewer Service Charge District is levied on the basis of historical water consumption data, which has been shown to correlate to sewer discharge for the majority of users within the City. Residential users are assessed a flat fee, while commercial and industrial users are assessed on a sliding scale based on water consumption.
Certain parcels, including vacant lots, septic tank users, publicly owned properties, and qualifying senior citizen and disabled property owners, may be eligible for exemption from the Sewer Service Charge upon application and approval by the City.
It is incumbent upon the City to undertake the 2026-2027 Sewer Service Charges in order to raise revenue to fund sewer system maintenance and to meet sewer bond debt service obligations. The attached resolution initiates this annual levy process and sets a Public Hearing for May 19, 2026, to allow for public testimony prior to consideration of the annual levy of Sewer Service Charges for Fiscal Year 2026-2027.

April 28, 2026, Page 3 of 3
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed Sewer Service Charge rates for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 will remain unchanged from Fiscal Year 2025-2026.
These charges are collected for the City by the Los Angeles County Tax Collector and are estimated to generate approximately $925,575 for Fiscal Year 2026-2027, based on the Total Net Estimated Cost identified in the Engineer’s Report.
Revenue collected through this charge is deposited into a designated fund for the exclusive use of operation, maintenance, and debt service of the City’s sanitary sewer system.
ALTERNATIVE
Staff does not recommend an alternative. The use of General Fund revenues to offset sewer maintenance and bond obligations would require the diversion of funds from other municipal services.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the attached resolution initiating proceedings for the levy and collection of the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Sewer Service Charges, receiving and preliminarily approving the Engineer’s Report, and setting a public hearing for May 19, 2026.

2026/2027 City of Compton – Sewer Service Charge Page 1 I. INTRODUCTION
To ensure a flow of funds for a portion of the ongoing maintenance and operation of the sanitary sewer facilities within the boundaries of the City of Compton (the “City”), the City Council has previously established a city-wide district to collect a Sewer Service Charge (the “District”).
On November 5, 1996, California voters approved Proposition 218. This Constitutional amendment was the latest in a series of initiatives altering the revenue-raising discretion of California local agencies. The provisions of the Proposition are set forth in California Constitutional Articles XIII C and XIII D.
As relevant to the City of Compton Sewer Service Charge, California Constitution Article XIII D, Sections 1 through 5, provide for additional substantive and procedural requirements, as outlined below.
Proposition 218 defines, “Assessments” as:
‘‘... any levy or charge by an agency upon real property that is based upon the special benefit conferred upon the real property… “Assessment” includes, but is not limited to, “special assessment,” “benefit assessment,” “maintenance assessment” and “special assessment tax.”
Article XIII D Section 2(e) of the Constitution of the State of California defines ‘‘Charges” as:
“…"charge" means any levy other than an ad valorem tax, a special tax, or an assessment, imposed by an agency upon a parcel or upon a person as an incident of property ownership, including a user fee or charge for a property related service.”
Although district assessments and charges are generally collected on the property tax rolls, district “assessments” and “charges” are not “taxes.” Assessments and charges are distinct from the regular one percent (1%) property tax and property tax debt overrides in that assessment rates and charges are not levied on an ad valorem basis. The Sewer Service Charge levy is considered a charge under Proposition 218.
Proposition 218 requires that beginning July 1, 1997, all new and existing assessments (with some exceptions) conform to new substantive and procedural requirements. However, certain assessments are exempted from the conformity requirement until they are increased. Generally, these exemptions include:
Assessments used exclusively to fund sidewalks, streets, sewers, water, flood control, drainage systems, or vector control.
Assessments used exclusively for bond repayments, the cessation of which would violate the Contract Impairment Clause of the U.S. Constitution. Assessments previously approved by a majority of voters. Assessments approved by all the property owners at the time the assessments were initially imposed.
2026/2027 City of Compton – Sewer Service Charge Page 2 The City Council has previously determined that the charges for the Sewer Service Charge constitute a continuation of charges existing on the effective date of Article XIII D, that the assessments and charges were imposed exclusively to finance the maintenance and operation expenses for sewers and that the charges as they existed before July 1, 1997 are exempt from the requirements of Article XIII D, Section 4 of the California Constitution. In that the charges are used exclusively to fund sewers under the provision for exemption defined in Section 5(a) of the Article.
This Report for the City of Compton Sewer Service Charge has been prepared pursuant to the order of the City of Compton, in compliance with City Municipal Code (“Code”) and statutory requirements for the State of California. The Report covers Fiscal Year 2026/2027 beginning July 1, 2026 and ending June 30, 2027.
II. IMPROVEMENTS
The monies collected by the City for the District are used for the maintenance of the existing sanitary sewer system and repayment of a portion of sewer bonds previously issued for the reconstruction of the City's sewer system. Maintenance includes the repair or replacement of damaged mains, manholes and appurtenant structures in order to maintain the system for the health, safety and welfare of the parcels charged within the City, all work to be performed within public streets or rights-of-way.
III. METHODOLOGY
The District is levied on the basis of historical water consumption data. Past studies have shown a high degree of correlation between water consumption and sewer discharge for a majority of the users within the area. As shown below, fees for the respective users have been divided into six (6) use zones (“Zones”). The Zones are identified as follows:
Zone Type of User Average Monthly Water Consumption
1 Residential & Small Commercial Less than 10,000 cu. ft. 2 Commercial & Industrial 10,000 to 25,000 cu. ft.
3 Commercial & Industrial 25,000 to 50,000 cu. ft.
4 Commercial & Industrial 50,000 to 75,000 cu. ft.
5 Commercial & Industrial More than 75,000 cu. ft.
6 Vacant lots, Septic Tank Users,
Public Property, Disabled Citizens &
Senior Citizens
Exempt
A flat fee for residential users has been utilized, while a sliding fee for commercial and industrial users was determined to be the most equitable for said users within the City of Compton. Zone 6 provides for exemptions from the District for vacant lots properties that have septic tanks, properties currently owned by senior or disabled citizens, and publicly owned properties.
Exemptions are applied upon receipt and filing of an application for such exemption with the City.
2026/2027 City of Compton – Sewer Service Charge Page 3 The City of Compton has historically recognized that senior citizens and the disabled have a water usage which is lower than other housing units and that the cost of such reduced usage services are covered in the main part by general property taxes and other City revenues and not by direct application of the Sewer Service Charge.
The City of Compton Public Works Department has determined that the rate of sewer service charge for all the assessable parcels within the limits of the City of Compton for Fiscal Year 2026/2027 shall remain the same as Fiscal Year 2025/2026. The total estimated charged for sewer service for all parcels is $925,575. this charge can increase or decrease depending on Senior Exemptions applied in Fiscal Year 2026/2027.
In order to ensure timely and efficient collections of the sewer service charges, the City of Compton utilizes the Los Angeles County Assessor's office property tax billing system for collection of the sewer service charges. Upon receipt of the sewer service charges through the property tax billing system, the funds received by the Los Angeles County Assessor's office are forwarded to the City of Compton and are placed in a designated fund for exclusive use of the operation and maintenance of the sewer system of the City of Compton.
IV. DISTRICT BUDGET
The following describes the costs funded through the District and shown in the budget.
Maintenance Costs (Labor, Benefits, and Equipment) – Includes all labor, material and equipment required to properly maintain and service the sewer system by City staff and others.
All improvements within the District will be maintained and serviced on a regular basis. City staff will determine the frequency and specific maintenance operations required.
Debt Service – Pledged revenues under the Trust Agreement for the payment of Bonds issued for the reconstruction of the sewer system.
Cost Allocation Plan (“CAP”) - Summarizes a comprehensive analysis completed for the City of Compton, California (the “City”) to determine the appropriate allocation of costs from City central service departments to the departments that provide services directly to the community.
The primary objective is to allocate costs from departments that provide services internally to operating departments that conduct the day-to-day operations necessary to serve the community.
These internal service costs are those: (a) incurred for a common or joint purpose benefiting more than one cost objective, and (b) not readily assignable to the cost objectives specifically benefitted, without effort disproportionate to the results achieved. The term “indirect costs,” as used herein, applies to costs of this type originating in the central service departments. Typical central service departments include the City Manager and City Controller, whereas typical operating departments include Fire, Public Works, and enterprise funds.
To ensure central service department costs are appropriately allocated to the operating departments, we analyzed and identified expenditures to determine which costs are allowable versus unallowable in accordance with Office of Management and Budget (OMB)-87 principles.
Costs that are typically considered to be unallowable include, but are not limited to: General Advertising, Entertainment, Award Ceremonies, Capital Improvements, Bad Debt, Lobbying, Contingencies, Legislative Body (City Council), Debt Service, Promotional Items.
As such, unallowable costs were excluded from this CAP, including indirect costs associated with City Council (reflected as a negative number under allowable costs).
2026/2027 City of Compton – Sewer Service Charge Page 4 County Administration – The administrative cost to apply the assessments on the secure tax roll each fiscal year.
Other Professional Services – The costs of contracting with professionals to provide services specific to the levy administration, including preparation of the Engineer’s Report, resolutions, and levy submittal to the County. These fees also include any additional administrative, legal, and engineering services specific to the District such as costs to prepare and mail notices of the Public Hearing.
Reserve Fund Transfer/(Contributions) – Represents contributions or transfers of funds from the reserve fund.
Unfunded Costs – Represents revenue from other sources such as the City of Compton General Fund.
Total Net Estimated Cost – Total direct cost plus total administrative costs and transfers from/to the rebate reserve fund or contributions from other revenue sources.
Total Parcels – The total number of parcels within the District.
Total Parcels Levied – The total number of parcels within the District that will be charged for the Fiscal Year.
Balance to Levy – The total amount to be charged this Fiscal Year.

EXHIBIT B – ASSESSMENT ROLL
The proposed assessment amounts for Fiscal Year 2026/2027 for the Sewer Service Charge are sent under separate cover and hereby referenced to in this Report. Parcel identification, for each lot or parcel within the District shall be the Assessor Parcel Numbers as shown on the Los Angeles County Assessor's map for the year in which this Report is prepared.
The listing of parcels and the amount of assessment to be levied shall be submitted to the County Auditor/Controller and included on the property tax roll for each parcel in Fiscal Year 2026/2027.
If any parcel submitted for assessment is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an invalid parcel number or the parcel Land Use changes for the current Fiscal Year, a corrected parcel number and/or new parcel numbers will be identified and resubmitted to the County Auditor/Controller. The assessment amount to be levied and collected for the resubmitted parcel or parcels shall be based on the method of apportionment and assessment/Charge rates approved in this Report. Therefore, if a single parcel has changed to multiple parcels, the assessment amount applied to each of the new parcels shall be recalculated and applied according to the approved method of apportionment and assessment rate rather than a proportionate share of the original assessment. Similarly, if a parcel Land Use changes, the assessment amount applied shall be recalculated and applied according to the approved method of apportionment and assessment rates.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: COMPTON FIRE DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
COMPTON AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER
INTO A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT AND ISSUE A
PURCHASE ORDER TO AP TRITON, LLC, TO PROVIDE
PROFESSIONAL CONSULTATION SERVICES TO THE CITY OF
COMPTON FIRE DEPARTMENT FOR THE CITY’S RESPONSE
TO REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS (RFP): AMBULANCE
SERVICES RESPONSE TO LOS ANGELES COUNTY RFP
($268,285.00)
SUMMARY
Adoption of this resolution will authorize the City Manager to enter in a Professional Services Agreement and issue a purchase order to AP Triton, LLC, in the amount not to exceed Two Hundred Sixty-Eight Thousand Two Hundred Eighty-Five Dollars and Zero Cents ($268,285.00) to provide professional consultation services to the City of Compton Fire Department for the City’s Response to Request for Proposals (RFP): Ambulance Services Response to Los Angeles County RFP.
BACKGROUND
The Fire Department (“Department”) provides a variety of emergency services to the residents and businesses throughout the City. The Department receives an average of 10,000 emergency calls per year; seventy-five percent (75%) of those calls are Emergency Medical Services (EMS).
The Department currently operates three (3) paramedic units, four (4) engines and one (1) truck to provide emergency medical care and treatment to those accessing the emergency “911” system. The Department has identified that the City should have its own ambulance services to ensure a quicker response time to emergencies ensuring that patients receive immediate medical attention.
The Department contracted with AP Triton, LLC (AP Triton) in January of 2025 to conduct an EMS Transportation & Optimization Study in order to assess if the City could operate a sustainable and high-performing ambulance service and meet the county-level contracting requirements.
29.29.29.29.29. Staff Report – Ambulance Service – AP Triton April 28, 2026, Page 2
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
AP Triton will provide consulting services and assistance to the City of Compton in the development and presentation in response to a Los Angeles County Request for Proposals for emergency ambulance transportation services. The company is uniquely positioned for this highly specialized consulting service, offering a combination of technical expertise, document management, graphic support, and stakeholder coordination. This will prove essential given the dynamic and County- specific nature of EMS RFPs, the City requires a partner that not only understands the operational landscape but can also tailor a submission that meets the evolving requirements of the County and Local EMS Agency (LEMSA).
AP Triton’s approach offers a comprehensive, phased methodology that aligns well with the complexity and responsiveness required in a County-level EMS RFP. The engagement is structured to be adaptable, recognizing the unpredictability of RFP specifications and the level of effort needed. The company’s role extends beyond simple document preparation; it includes strategic planning, subject matter expertise, compliance verification and visual communications, making their involvement critical to a successful bid.
Pursuant to the City’s procurement policies, a sole-source procurement is justified when:
Only one vendor is qualified to do the work or provide the product. An emergency exists of such magnitude that cannot permit delay. Competition is determined to be inadequate after solicitation of a number of sources.
As a sole source provider with recognized expertise in ambulance system RFP responses, AP Triton eliminates the need for a time-consuming procurement process and ensures immediate access to a proven support team. Their process includes built-in flexibility, rigorous quality control and structured progress reviews, offering both accountability and agility throughout the engagement. Department staff has further determined that the public interest would not be served by engaging in the standard competitive bid solicitation process because of the time sensitive nature of this project and a limited number of qualified firms that would be able to provide these specialized consultation services.
City Council approval is needed because the expenditure exceeds $50,000.00.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total proposed project fee for AP Triton, LLC’s services is $268,285.00. The amount of $250,285.00 (Phase 1 & Phase 2) will be paid from Fiscal Year 2025- 2026 Budget in Account No. 1001-690-000-4266.Payment of Phase 3 services is contingent upon City Council appropriation of funds in the FY 2026-2027 adopted budget in Account No. 1001-690-000-4266.

ESTABLISH A PURCHASE ORDER FOR RESTORATION
DIVERSION SERVICES FOR OPERATING USING HOME-
AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN (HOME-ARP) FUNDS IN THE
AMOUNT OF ($99,442.35)
SUMMARY
Adoption of this resolution will authorize the City Manager to enter into a professional service agreement with and establish a purchase order in the amount of Ninety-Nine Thousand Four Hundred Forty-Two Dollars and Thirty-Five Cents ($99,442.35) for Nonprofit Operating and Capacity Building Assistance.
BACKGROUND
In 2021, the City of Compton received a Grant Agreement from the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for HOME-ARP funds intended to address the needs of qualifying populations, including individuals and households experiencing homelessness or housing instability. HUD required the City to develop and submit an eligible proposal for approval by May 2023. Failure to do so would have resulted in the City forfeiting its HOME-ARP allocation. In response, the City undertook the required planning and compliance steps to preserve the funding and ensure alignment with HUD HOME-ARP regulations to address the needs of qualifying populations, including individuals and households experiencing homelessness or housing instability.
On October 30, 2025, the City released a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for HOME-ARP Non-profit Operating & Capacity Building Support. The proposal deadline was November 17. The NOFA sought qualified nonprofit organizations to deliver services consistent with HUD HOME-ARP regulations, including Operating and Capacity Building Support. The two (2) firms were selected based on their responsiveness, qualifications, costs, work experience and professional expertise. The following two (2) proposals are as follow:

April 21, 2026, Page 2
Proposals were reviewed by City evaluation panel using criteria outlined in the NOFA, including:
Organizational needs
Impact
Feasibility
Experience
Equity
SELECTION PROCESS
Pursuant to the Request for Proposals, it was requested that consultants respond with their qualifications, scope of service, etc., in one package and their fee in a sealed, separate cover. The proposal review committee reviewed the material in the Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) submitted by the consultants and ranked the most qualified proposals.
The selection of the most qualified consultants for youth and family services was on the basis of demonstrated competence and professional qualifications.
Qualification Based Selection (“QBS”) is where selection is based on the most appropriate provider of professional services; fees are not an initial consideration nor a primary consideration for selection; however, staff will evaluate the price to ensure there is a comparability and consistency to the other proposals. The evaluation process used by the selection committee for ranking the proposal was based upon the completeness of the proposal, consultant’s demonstrated understanding of the scope of services, quality of similar work previously performed by the firm, personnel assigned, resources required to perform the required services, and the proposed schedule of work. Fees are not considered until after the selection of the most qualified firms.
The review committee determined the proposal submitted by Restoration Diversion submitted a complete and responsive proposal and demonstrated the capacity to deliver capacity building over a 12-month period.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
A portion of these funds are allocated to Nonprofit Operating and Capacity Building Assistance to ensure effective program delivery and compliance with federal requirements. In addition, the lowest bidder was not selected because the proposal was not the most responsive to the NOFA requirements. The selected proposer demonstrated stronger program design, alignment with HOME-ARP eligible activities, clearer performance metrics and the organizational capacity/experience necessary to successfully implement and sustain the proposed services. Selection was based on overall best fit for the City, not price Staff Report – Authorizing Professional Service Agreement with Restoration Diversion for HOME-ARP Operating
