FROM: BRANDON MIMS, CITY TREASURER
SUBJECT: THIRD QUARTER INVESTMENT REPORT
SUMMARY
The City of Compton (City) Treasurer’s Office invests City funds in compliance with the California Government Code, Section 53600 et. seq., and the City’s Investment Policy.
As of March 31, 2026, these funds had a par value of approximately $314,631,840.90 (Three Hundred Fourteen Million, Six Hundred Thirty-One Thousand, Eight Hundred Forty Dollars and Ninety Cents).
Regulatory Compliance
Investment transactions have been made in compliance with the City’s Investment Policy and the California Government Code. All portfolio transactions as of March 31, 2026 can be found in the Portfolio Summary attached as Exhibit A.
Investment Strategy
The Investment Policy divides the City’s investment portfolio into short-maturity (maturing in three to six months), intermediate-maturity (maturing in one to three years), and long-maturity portfolios. Investments are benchmarked against the Three-Month United State Treasury Bill Index, Bank of America Merrill Lynch One-to-Three Year United States Treasury Index, and the Bank of America Merrill Lynch One-to-Five Year.
The short-maturity portfolio maintains a weighted average maturity of three to six months and provides sufficient liquidity to satisfy the City's short-term cash needs. The intermediate-maturity portfolio maintains a weighted average maturity of approximately six months to three years and provides for the cash needs with maturities greater than six months. The long-maturity portfolio maintains a weighted average maturity of three to five years to satisfy the City's long-term cash needs.
The City's cash management goals are to maintain and preserve the safety of funds in custody and provide adequate liquidity for anticipated expenditure needs. Approximately $156 million of the total investment pool, or approximately 50% of the funds, will mature in the next six months, ensuring that sufficient funds are available to meet the City's liquidity needs.

ROLL CALL
Council Members Present: D. Duhart, A. Spicer, J Bowers, Mayor E. Sharif Council Members Absent: L. Darden
Other Officials Present: S. Zurita, W. Hopkins, Jr.
PUBLIC COMMENTS ON AGENDA ITEMS AND NON-AGENDA MATTERS
Muhamad Barak mentioned that he grew up in Compton and is an artist. His artwork is displayed in both the City Hall lobby and the Council Chambers lobby. He expressed his gratitude for being chosen to create the art. There is some controversy concerning Cesar Chavez; he is unsure about their position given the recent accusations against Chavez. He suggested that if the portrait needs to be replaced, it could be replaced with a portrait of John F. Kennedy located in a conference room in Dollarhide Community Center. He thanked everyone and wished them God's blessings for all the work they do for the city.
Kincy Jones thanked City Manager Hopkins and Councilmember Darden for placing the lights where McDonalds used to be. They still have a lot of vacant lots and cleaning up to do in the city.
He mentioned to the Mayor that if she drives down Alondra or Rosecrans once she gets to Lakewood, she makes a left going south. He suggested she look to the left there’s a Walmart there that has a beautiful waterfall. Their waterfall could look just as nice if they could find the funds to update it and he asked them to please do so.
Cynthia Mills lives at 1505 S. California. People that do not live on her block are parking on her street in front of their homes. On Sunday a person moved her trash can she had in place because she had pick-up on Monday. They moved her trash can and placed it in her driveway. There are people driving at night between 2am and 3am making skid marks in the streets. They flee the scene before the police arrive.
City Clerk Zurita addressed Mayor Sharif asking if they could please ask the speakers to touch the button one time before they begin to speak.
Tony Hicks represents The Compton 125 Historic Society. He spoke on Founder’s Day and reminded the public that it’s coming up in May. He would like the Historical Society to participate in doing a legacy project focusing on the employees of the City of Compton and the Compton Unified School District. For those that would like to participate they will need the positions they held and the years they served. They do a speaker series at Gonzales Park. For more information email them at [email protected]. They celebrated one of the Olympians, High Jumper Renaldo Brown from Compton High School.
Rodney Lister reported that the City of Carson and their Council voted as a whole to oppose AB1768, a tax being proposed specifically for LA County by a state legislator from Culver City proposing to raise sales tax by .05%. The County Board of Supervisors are also proposing another separate tax of .25%. He inquired about the Council’s position with sending a letter to their supervisor because they are making decisions at such a level to put it on the ballot. As residents of Compton, they are already heavily taxed. Residents would like to know what the city is doing to help lower their taxes. How could the citizens participate in what they like to have funded during the budget processes. He cannot get his street cleaned. He has called Public Works several times and he has been there several times. The street in question is Wilmington between 156th on the north and Alondra on the south.
Bishop Guillory stated he is not as hopeful as the last speaker because when it comes to taxes they definitely make them pay them. He doesn’t see anyone running for office that’s going to tell the Supervisor or Assembly they shouldn’t tax the people that’s why he’s running.
Theres a tax that has been on the property owners since 1947. He indicated that Madam Mayor stated they are taking more than they need to take. He presented his tax receipt for $222,859.93
10. paid last year from the county. He presented his new bill for just one property in the amount of $6969.06. The highest thing on the tax bill is the employee’s pension. They could play dumb, but they can’t play smart. The city has elected officials this should have been a long time ago. Now we have a repelling of the tax therefore people don’t have to keep on doing reverse mortgages to pay their taxes. When he becomes the Mayor he will not take a check.
Councilmember Bowers response to Guillory you have to get elected.
Hector Gomez, Co-founder and Executive Director of Connecting Compton. Since their founding in 2019 their organization has been committed to developing what will become the Compton Multicultural Equestrian Center. It is a space where they will honor Compton’s deep equestrian roots while creating real opportunities for youth and families. He is speaking on Consent Agenda item #1. They appreciate the opportunity to continue working alongside all the amazing Council and Mayor to try and get the effort on the road. The Side Access Agreement is an important first step for them because it will allow them to conduct the necessary environmental review and due diligence to better understand the site and responsibility plan for its future. They are ready to do the work, and they are ready for their support and guidance.
Kory Kroctorham with the Western States Regional Carpenters Local 323 stated that construction tax fraud is stealing the future of the community, roads, first responder’s systems, public transit, schools and hospitals. Billions of dollars for infrastructure are lost every year because of dishonest contractors who exploit workers and dodge taxes. On April 6-18, 2026, Western State Regional Carpenters Local 323 is taking a stand against those corrupt businesses that are pocketing money that should be funding the critical infrastructure. It’s time to stop tax fraud and ensure their critical community systems are built the right way. The future belongs to those who build it and it must be built without tax fraud.
Richard Earl invited everyone to the Candidate Forum on March 28, 2026, from 3pm until at St.
Phillips Lutheran Church located 1110 N. Dwight. There are flyers in the lobby in Spanish and English. They need to look at doing something on Wilmington and Greenleaf. They just repaired Wilmington and it’s ridiculous to have people come in and ruin it.
Royce Esthers, President of the National Association for Equal Justice of America recognized the Mayor, Council and citizens of Compton. He recognized some of the churches in the community that are doing a great job. He thanked Holy Chapel Church for letting them meet in their beautiful sanctuary. He thanked the citizens of Compton and LA County for attending the LA County Sheriff Candidates Forum. It was the first time in thirty-five years sponsored by Nays Anti-Crime Committee and Issac Ashbury, Chairman of the Crime Committee. He had a very professional team working with him consisting of Ron Dowell, Anthony Perry, Elaine Thompson Esthers and Jonathan Taylor. Grambling National Banquet presents the 24 th Annual Awards Banquet on October 24, 2026. They are going to recognize Compton College and Compton Unified School District. For more information call 310-918-4047. They want to start recognizing people in the community.
Marie Brown spoke concerning the street takeovers. They are doing a really good job in their neighborhood it’s kind of slowing down however Holly Mitchell gave her some lights to give to the community. She thinks they should be responsible for their own lights. The new flashlights that shine so bright they shine halfway down the street. Flash the light when you see the takeover.
She went to Big 5 Sporting Goods and they were $8. They should use them with the slogan that says leave the light on. It’s not like Motel 6 but it lets them know they are watching.
Minister Pauline Brown represented the clergy indicating that a lot of people do not know she is an ordained Minister. She was there as a servant of the Lord, and her message was a prayer. She cited a heartfelt prayer.
Maria Villareal, President of Compton Latino Chamber of Commerce. She thanked Minister Brown for the prayer. She thanked the Mayor and Council for all they have done over the years.
Her concern is in district one, she reminds herself to be respectful. On Matthison and Rosecrans there’s a building that has been there for three or four months. It seems they are working on it because it has a huge plastic covering on the roof and when it’s windy the plastic is hanging. It makes the street look bad. If they could please take a look at it. The Chamber is inviting the City of Compton to come to the Chamber to do volunteer hours. They need volunteers to make calls to business so they can receive knowledge on how to become better business owners. They are having a meeting this Thursday at 6pm for businesses in the City of Compton. Everyone is welcome.
Charles Brown, President of Compton 125 Historical Society. He thanked God for Minister Brown’s prayer. He thanked the Council for item #6. Once the resolution passes, he’s asking the Council to proceed as quickly as possible in securing the Heritage House’s safety for the furniture and artifacts that are going to be placed in the facility. They don’t want it to get stolen. They would like to be a part of the landscaping. There were once signs notifying individuals when they were entering and leaving Compton. He asked them to please replace them. They are going to be putting on a Community Archive Workshop.
Jesus Camargo with the Western State Regional Council of Carpenters was there to bring awareness to tax fraud. All the contractors are cheating the community out of 8.4 billion dollars a year. Every year they cheat, they stop communities from renovating schools, repair roads, caring for Veterans and sheltering the homeless. A lot of the ways they practice tax fraud and get over the system is they pay their worker’s cash. The way tax fraud hurts the community is by taking money away from the first responders.
Shameka Ozzie Harris, an RN for twenty years, also a CERT Instructor Community Emergency Response Team Training Instructor and Program Manager. There will be a Spanish CERT Training at Fire Station three on April 9, 10, 11, 2026. The English Training is April 17, 18, 19, 2026. A CERT Simulation Activity (a skills refresher & disaster simulation) will take place on April 25, 2026. For more information there are flyers in the lobby.
Tanya Lewis, first district stated that Hub City is having their Autistic Walk at the Airport on April 18, 2026, registration is 9am and they will start walking at 10am. Flyers are in the lobby in English and Spanish. She addressed John Strickland and indicated he stated that they would be proud of Wilmington. She asked if he could clean it up before the walk, put some water on the plants and the trees, pick up some of the dead weeds growing between the cracks and pick up the papers before the walk so that they could all be proud of the walk on April 18, 2026.
Jose Marquez invited everyone to get together and support the Council for the election and make sure that they are always looking out for them to make sure they are doing a good job. They have to something about the teenagers in the city. He wants to be part of the community and get the teenagers involved. The city has a responsibility to make the teenagers better. They are there at the takeovers because they don’t have anything better to do. He wants his kids and all the other kids to be safe.
Jaime Rodriguez thanked the Mayor and Council for the work they are doing on Artesia and Wilmington. All men are created equal in the United States. His vote is for Mayor Emma Sharif and Councilmember Bowers. Thanks so much for all they have done.
Mark Smith mentioned that a lot was stated today concerning tax fraud, however he wanted to address affordability and safety. The affordability they addressed regarding the investigation with the credit cards. Where are they at with the investigation it doesn’t take this long. If there has not been any fraud or misuse of tax dollars let them know. He addressed the City Manager regarding access to the field indicating he has asked Council several times for results. This falls under safety regarding soil samples and what is coming out of the land field. They have homeless people there, which is a safety issue. When has any removal ever been enforced? He has film there of some type of gas that is emitted every morning at approximately 6:30am or 7am. This is about safety. The land field has not been addressed for years. Is there a survey? Are there any questionnaires? Do they have any input, because there are people in the land field that are at risk. The operative he has always been told is that they don’t want to disturb the land. He can’t figure out what the disturbance is but there is certainly a release every morning.
Vanessa Cain stated that Mark covered a lot of it, but environmental justice has to do with it as well. In said land field they have been asking for environmental justice, but she only hears about one organization that is involved with that and that’s Compton Connect. They did have an open forum a couple of years ago, but she thinks everyone should be involved. That land doesn’t just affect the people that live around it, of course they are affected but the gas that’s emitting from it that is travelling throughout the city. Compton has a lot of areas that are contaminated. They have the Golf Course and Vanguard Learning Center because of the Alcor that leaked into the soil. She used to farm over there but she can’t do it anymore because of contaminated soil and water. LA County determined that the soil was contaminated therefore the gardening stopped and they have not been able to go back. This is worse because it’s emitting gases and she doesn’t know why anyone would want a Equestrian Center there because the first horse that lands there and dies, she will have PETA out there. From her understanding they can only have a park there. As for the letters of Resignations for people running for office, resignations are not going to save him at this point. You should be certified period. They’re still on the commissions no matter where they are.
Why are they going through that? Why not just follow the Charter? Missy from district three stated she heard one of the Council members up there state that “us mature seniors come up there”. Can you hold your head up sir? “You are so disrespectful every time someone come to the podium you dislike you drop your head; we don’t like you either”. With that being said, yes, they are mature seniors and “you talk about noise we come here to get things together because the stuff they see the Council doing they don’t like it, especially with their tax dollars involved”. They have been coming month after month inquiring about the credit cards.
They need to know who the attorney is and how much they are paying the attorney. “Mayor Sharif I am directing everything to you because the City Manager is there to oversee but you are there to answer their questions as well, therefore she needs an answer tonight regarding the credit cards because he spent their money illegally”. It’s time for them to focus on the things they question and inquire about when they come to the podium. They don’t pay attention to them and their money is being misused. She asked City Manager if Lueders Park turned into a Community Center. She would like an answer tonight. Why is Genene still signing off on legal documents? Daniel Zepata, Co-Founder of Connecting Compton. Connecting Compton is a non-profit rooted in love for the community. They dedicate their time to create equestrian agricultural programs for youth in Compton and the surrounding areas. Programs that give the people a sense of purpose, connection and pride. Their work is about more than horses it’s about preserving and uplifting the rich equestrian culture that has been beautifully overlooked as part of Compton’s identity. They are deeply grateful to the Council for the opportunity and they truly believe that by working together with city leaders they can create something meaningful that not only benefits the community today but also reshapes the narrative of Compton for generations to come.
Patricia, a resident from district two, stated she went through some distress last year. She doesn’t know if she’s mad, sad or what, but she needs some transparency for 123 N. Locust. She doesn’t know what happened, but she came last March or April and disclosed some concerns regarding squatters. Thank God they’re gone but it’s something fishy going on because she reported all the information they needed including criminal activity and stripping cars. She thanked Asst. City Manager Tam and district two liaison for responding to her emails. She needs transparency because she provided everything they needed to prosecute. She texted the granddaughter in 2023, the one that introduced herself when she purchased her home in 2019. She had an individual come by from the city by the name of Victor. (Her time ran out. Mayor Sharif instructed her to go through the double doors, and someone would meet her there to get her number and they would call her).
Commissioner Fidel Marquez from district one stated that no one should live under those circumstances paying taxes in Compton and that’s the importance of a City Attorney which we do not have. Without an attorney this meeting could possibly be illegal. Back in April 2020 Charter Committee Chairman Legrand Clegg and Attorney Damon Brown decided to change the 30-day residency for people to run for office. He thinks that’s the problem because nothing should be amended without placing it on the ballot for the voters to vote on. It went from one year to thirty days in an effort to place their cronies in office. Not only was Michelle Chambers in office, but she also ended up living in Legrand Clegg’s mother’s house; follow the fraud. “They need to change it back Madam City Clerk”. Her office can contact the State Attorney General to see how they can get it back to one year residency because they have too many people on commissions, especially out of other cities that are currently running for office. “Mayor, you and the Council picked an attorney. In the RFP it states that the attorney reports to the City Manager”. They have been asking for an investigation regarding the credit cards. It would be a conflict of interest for that attorney to do any investigation and report back to the City Manager. Councilmember Duhart and Mayor Sharif voted yes. They need to bring the item back and reconsider changing the verbiage. They need answers today because they have an imposter who decided to take from the taxpayers in district two with no resolution to grant him that seat but he’s running for Mayor. The residents need to understand the severity of the matter. They have been plagued with fraud for decades. Last year they got dinged for almost 9% for taxes and they have nothing to show for it.
The County Assessor Jeff Prang just got caught with his hand in the cookie jar.
Lynn Boone from City of Compton noted that the City Attorney, City Controller, City Engineer and Street Superintendent are all mandated in the Charter and we don’t have any of them. The budget for those departments is going to City Manager Hopkins’s office. Those positions are salaries that are not being paid. What are they doing with that money? These positions are very important to the city. That’s why our streets look the way they do and they are not getting anything done with the credit cards because they don’t have a City Attorney. “They need to pull up your pants or drawls and do your job because you are not”. The powers of the city are invested in the Council, and the power is the people. For vacancies, 505 states that for whatever the cause is for vacancy the person must be appointed. Councilmember Spicer is not appointed. Councilmember Spicer did not win the race. If they go and look through everything there’s no certification. She filed a complaint with the City Clerk’s Office, two days later she received a call stating it was being investigated. It’s been over a week where is the resolution for him or where is the certification that places him in that seat? Do you know how many elections he went through without having to run for the seat because he wasn’t appointed. They need to do the right thing.
The City Manager does not run the entire city. The minute Eric started investigating the credit card situation the City Manager decided to pay him off with our money now Eric is gone. We don’t have a City Attorney like we are supposed to. Genene is not our City Attorney and will never be.
That might be City Manager Hopkins’ friend, which is good for him, however she does not deserve to be paid by the City of Compton. Those are the citizens’ funds. No matter how long it takes when they are found guilty of those credit cards they will be picked up, and they can ask Tucker Jr. because he came in when he was released from jail and apologized.
City Manager Hopkins noted there was a City Engineer, a Street Superintendent and a Building official. They have all of the positions that are listed in the Charter with the exception of a Police Chief and none of those positions are in his budget. If an individual is intelligent enough to read the budget book, they would note that those are individual departments.
Mayor Sharif stated that last week she met with the City Manager to discuss the ongoing credit card investigation and receive an update on behalf of the residents. It’s not in his wheelhouse. She believes that transparency and accountability are critical to maintain public trust. Residents deserve to know where they stand on important issues such as this. Based on their discussion the investigation is expected to be concluded within approximately two weeks at which time more information will be shared with the public. She requested a report in two weeks.

City Manager Hopkins stated that for over a year now they have been negotiating with SEIU, administration and other bargaining units. They have been able to bring closure to a series of things given that the city is significantly behind in terms of market and how employees are compensated.
They went to the bargain table, and they were able to come to an agreement. With said agreement they were able to bring their employees closer to being aligned with equivalent cities of their size.
Due to the time frame over the many years, they have been making one-year agreements they don’t have to go back to the bargaining table until almost 2029/2030.

Councilmember Duhart offered the following communications/announcements:
In honor of Women’s History Month, she recognized Candace Leos, President of Compton Advocates. Candance was selected by Assemblymember Mike Gipson as Woman of the Year by the California Legislative Women’s Caucus. Through her leadership with Compton advocates she has been a powerful source in uplifting the community champion, equity and creating meaningful opportunities for residents. Her dedication and impact exemplify the spirit of Women’s History Month, and we are proud to celebrate her achievements and service.
On March 28, 2026, from 1pm to 4pm at Gonzales Park join them for a special program in collaboration with the Compton 125 Historical Society and the Recreation Department as they honor the strength, resilience and contributions of women in the community. She proudly recognized Gina Radio TV, Pearly Burr, Melinda Mongosa, Yosie Reynoga and Betina Cannon Cooper whose leadership and dedication have helped shape the history and future of Compton.
There will not be a Council Meeting as March 31, 2026, is the 5 th Tuesday of the month and City Hall will be closed in recognition of Farm Workers Day. She thanked Minister Pauline Brown for the excellent prayer she gave earlier tonight because their city definitely needs it.
She thanked everyone for coming out this evening. “Kincy, I missed you haven’t seen you in about a month”. The citizens’ presence, input and commitment to speaking up and working together help strengthen their community and move their city forward. She advised the citizens they are the eyes and ears of their community and their voices matter to her. She reminded everyone to always remember to eat, shop and buy Compton, a safe, clean and friendly city.
City Manager Hopkins announced that there has been a series of citizens coming forward referencing their public comments and implying that they do not hear them. He shared with the Council and community that beginning April they are going to be posting responses to public comments on the city’s website. The community needs to understand that responses are not made due to the Brown Act. The Council cannot engage in a discussion that is not on the agenda. It’s not that they are ignoring the residents, it could be a Brown Act violation.
Mayor Sharif offered the following communications/announcements:
Congratulations to Candace Leos on a job well done. She has been working with her for a while and that is a great accomplishment for her.
Shared the following updates on how her Office has been working to move Compton forward:
Last Wednesday she attended a very successful diversity Hiring Expo Hosted by Hire 360 at the Dollarhide Community Center. The event welcomed over one thousand five hundred job seekers who were able to connect with forty-five employers and organizations across multiple industries. Events like this directly support economic growth by connecting the residents to job opportunities and career pathways that help strengthen financial stability for families across the city. Due to the overwhelming success her office is proud to partner with Hire 360 to bring another hiring event to Compton in October. She thanked the Hire 360 team for going above and beyond by staying past the scheduled time to ensure residents received the support they needed.
Last Thursday she participated in the city’s Economic Development Strategic Planning Session hosted by the Grants Department. The meeting brought together businesses, residents and city leaders who helped guide the future vision of Compton. This process ensures that community voices are shaping the direction of the city. Key takeaways included strong desire for more restaurants, arts and entertainment and community events and festivals. In alignment with this vision, she also recently met with two potential organizations whose mission support moving Compton forward as they continue exploring partnerships that can help bring these priorities to life for their residents. She encouraged all residents to stay engaged and make their voices heard. The next meeting will take place on June 4, 2026, from 9am to 11am at Dollarhide.
On March 26, 2026, My Place Health will be hosting a Senior Meet and Greet at Dollarhide from 10am to 11am. This is a great opportunity for senior residents to learn more about the programs and services available to support their health and well-being. Spring is here and it’s time to celebrate. She’s excited to invite the senior residents to her Annual Spring Brunch on April 10, 2026, from 10:30am to 1pm at the Dollarhide Community Center. This special event is open to Compton seniors and will be filled with great food, music and fellowship. Please be sure to RSVP with the Dollarhide Center. She addressed the City Manager and raised a concern that has been brought her attention concerning access to City Council Meetings in Spanish. Translation is currently available through Channel 36 however many residents that access through YouTube or the city’s website are not able to hear the meeting in Spanish. She respectfully requested that staff look into expanding Spanish language across all viewing platforms if possible so that all residents can stay informed and engaged.
Looking ahead, her office will continue working to expand economic opportunities, strengthen transparency and ensure that every resident has access to the resources and service they deserve.
She thanked Code Enforcement Director and officers along with the Public Works Director and staff for all their hard work. She has had many residents call her office with complaints.
Every complaint has been handled swiftly and professionally by them. Thank you for continuing to provide quality service to the residents of Compton. She thanked the residents for staying engaged and her Council colleagues and city staff for their continued partnership and dedication. Together they will continue building a stronger Compton while honoring the history that guides them forward. Have a safe and wonderful evening, see you next month.

SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON
AMENDING THE POSITION CLASIFICATION PLAN BY ADDING THE
CLASSIFICATIONS OF HUMAN RESOURCES OPERATIONS
COORDINATOR, HUMAN RESOURCES ASSISTANT, AND HUMAN
RESOURCES COORDINATOR WITHIN THE HUMAN RESOURCES
DEPARTMENT
SUMMARY
This resolution amends the City’s position classification plan by adding three new job specifications to the Human Resources department: Human Resources Operations Coordinator, Human Resources Assistant, and Human Resources Coordinator. The Personnel Board approved these classifications at its public hearing on May 7, 2026, and recommends City Council adoption. The salary ranges established are 154A for the Human Resources Operations Coordinator and Human Resources Coordinator, and 102A for the Human Resources Assistant. The total increase in salary expenditures for fiscal year 2025–2026 is $13,051.58, to be covered by reallocating funds from Account #1001-560-000-4249 (Human Resources – Special Departmental Expense).
BACKGROUND
The City of Compton’s Human Resources department has identified a need to restructure and expand its classification plan in order to better support the operational demands of a growing municipal workforce. The existing Administrative Analyst I classification provides a narrow scope of services that limits the department’s adaptability. Similarly, the Office Assistant III classification does not adequately reflect the operational responsibilities carried out by staff in that role. Additionally, there has been no dedicated classification to support City-wide employee training and professional development.
To address these gaps, the Human Resources department proposes the following three new classifications:
Human Resources Operations Coordinator (Salary Range 154A): This classification replaces the Administrative Analyst I designation and is designed to allow for broader functional support across essential Human Resources projects, improving the department’s flexibility and operational efficiency.
Human Resources Assistant (Salary Range 102A): In accordance with the 2022 State Audit, the reclassification of the Office Assistant III position to a Human Resources
15.15.15.15.15.15. STAFF REPORT – AMENDING THE HR DEPARTMENT CLASSIFICATION SPECIFICATIONS JUNE 3, 2026
PAGE 2
Assistant will better support recruitment needs for the City and to meet operational needs effectively.
Human Resources Coordinator (Salary Range 154A): This is a new classification created to establish a dedicated function for City-wide training, ensuring that all City employees have access to consistent, structured, and professional development opportunities.
Subsequent to conducting a properly noticed and public hearing pursuant to the provisions of Sections 1010 and 1103 of the Compton City Charter, the Personnel Board approved the proposed amendment to the position classification plan and recommended approval and adoption at its meeting held on May 7, 2026.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The Human Resources department currently lacks classifications that accurately reflect the scope of work being performed and the operational needs of the department. The existing Administrative Analyst I and Office Assistant III classifications do not provide sufficient flexibility for HR-specific functions, nor do they support the department’s demand to coordinate training and professional development across all City departments.
The addition of the three proposed classifications to the Position Classification Plan will align staffing with current and future departmental needs.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total increase in salary expenditures for the City’s 2025–2026 fiscal year budget resulting from the addition of these three classifications is $13,051.58. These costs will be covered by reallocating funds from Account #1001-560-000-4249 (Human Resources – Special Departmental Expense). The salary ranges for each classification are as follows: Human Resources Operations Coordinator (154A), Human Resources Assistant (102A), and Human Resources Coordinator (154A).
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution amending the position classification plan by approving and adding the new classification specifications for Human Resources Operations Coordinator, Human Resources Assistant, and Human Resources Coordinator, and authorizing the salary ranges of 154A for the Human Resources Operations Coordinator and Human Resources Coordinator, and 102A for the Human Resources Assistant, with the associated fiscal year 2025–2026 salary expenditures funded through a reallocation of Account #1001-560-000-4249 (Human Resources – Special Departmental Expense).

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: BRYAN K. SPRAGG, DIRECTOR OF RECREATION
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
COMPTON AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH SLA IN C. FOR THE
RAYMOND STREET PARK JOINT -USE EQUESTRIAN AND
COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT PROJECT.
SUMMARY
The Raymond Street Park Joint -Use Equestrian and Community Enhancement Project is a proposed multi -benefit initiative aimed at revitalizing Raymond Street Park through a combination of recreational, cultural, and equestrian -focused improvements. The project seeks to honor Compton’s equestrian heritage while expanding access to high - quality outdoor amenities, promoting wellness, enhancing public safety, and suppo rting neighborhood revitalization.
To advance this initiative, staff is requesting authorization for the City Manager to execute a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with SLA Inc. The MOU will establish a cooperative framework to support grant identifica tion, conceptual planning, community engagement, and funding coordination. The agreement does not authorize construction or commit the City to any capital expenditures; rather, it allows SLA Inc. and the City of Compton to pursue external funding opportuni ties and further refine project concepts.
Approval of the MOU will allow the SLA Inc. to continue early -stage planning efforts, conduct feasibility assessments, engage residents and stakeholders, and develop a long-term funding strategy for this transformative community project.
BACKGROUND
The City of Compton continues to prioritize investments in parks, recreational amenities, wellness infrastructure, and community -focused public spaces. Raymond Street Park has been identified as a strategic location fo r a joint -use recreational enhancement project that reflects the City’s cultural identity and long-standing equestrian traditions.
Residents, stakeholders, and community organizations have consistently expressed interest in the following:
• Expanded recreational opportunities
• Improved park safety and visibility
• Preservation of Compton’s equestrian culture
16.16.16.16.16. Staff Report – Los Angeles Dodgers Grant Acceptance Harold Johnson as Dodgers Dreamteam Coordinator
• Increased access to outdoor wellness amenities
• Multi-generational park activation
• Youth-focused recreational programming
• Enhanced neighborhood investment
The project concept aims to address these priorities through a balanced, community - oriented approach that integrates passive recreation with equestrian -compatible infrastructure.
SLA Inc. has expressed interest in partnering with the City to suppor t the conceptual development and funding strategy for the project. The proposed MOU would not authorize construction or commit the City to future capital expenditures; rather, it would establish a cooperative framework that allows both parties to pursue fu nding opportunities and evaluate project feasibility.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
Raymond Street Park is in need of renovation and revitalization due to aging infrastructure. The proposed revitalization project aims to expand recreational opportunities for the s urrounding community while incorporating and honoring the equestrian culture of the nearby neighborhood. Without an approved Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”), the project partners cannot move forward with pursuing grant funding opportunities. Therefore, staff is seeking City Council authorization for the City Manager to execute an MOU with SLA Inc. to support the planning, funding coordination, and conceptual development of the proposed Raymond Street Park Joint - Use Equestrian and Community Enhancement Project.
FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of the proposed MOU would not result in any immediate construction -related fiscal impact.
Preliminary conceptual estimates indicate that the overall project may range from approximately $3 million to $4 million, depending on the final design scope, infrastructure needs, and funding availability.
SLA Inc. intends to pursue regional, state, federal, nonprofit, and environmental grant opportunities to help offset future project costs. Any future requests for matching funds or capital appropriations will be presented separately to the City Council for consideration and approval.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:

On May 26, 2026, the City Council adopted a censure Resolution that removed Councilman Andre Spicer from all City Boards, Commissions, and Committees. It also stripped Councilman Spicer of his title of Mayor Pro Tem.
The Resolution before the Council reflects the City Council’s decision to appoint a new Mayor Pro Tem, consistent with its authority under Section 601 of the City Charter and the appointment process described in Municipal Code Section 2-1.16. According to Municipal Code, section 2-1.16, the position of Mayor Pro Tem rotates Districts every year on a consecutive basis. Councilman Spicer served as Mayor Pro Tem based on his position as the Councilmember from District 2. Through this Resolution, the City Council will rotate the position of the Mayor Pro Tem to the next consecutive District, which is District 3.
Councilman Jonathan Bowers is currently the Councilmember of District 3. Via this Resolution, the City Council immediately appoints Councilman Bowers to the position of Mayor Pro Tem, for the remainder of what would have been Councilman Spicer’s term, June 30, 2026. The Resolution also authorizes the Councilmember from District 3 to continue serving in the role of Mayor Pro Tem until June 30, 2027.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.
RECOMMENDATION
