FROM: CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON

ESTABLISHING AN EXPEDITED PERMITTING PROCESS FOR
ELECTRIC VEHICLE (EV) CHARGING STATIONS; APPROVING AN EV CHARGING STATION PERMIT CHECKLIST; AND DETERMINING CEQA

EXEMPTION

SUMMARY
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached Ordinance amending Chapter 15 of the Compton Municipal Code to establish an expedited, nondiscretionary permitting process for electric vehicle (EV) charging stations pursuant to Government Code Sections 65850.7 and 65850.71.

The proposed action also includes confirmation of the City’s Electric Vehicle Charging Station Permit Checklist, which establishes clear application requirements and review timelines. Adoption of the Ordinance and checklist will align the City’s permitting process with State law and support timely deployment of EV charging infrastructure. This action will support expanded access to EV charging for residents and businesses while improving permitting efficiency.

BACKGROUND
Assembly Bill (AB) 1236, codified in Government Code Section 65850.7, requires local jurisdictions to implement an expedited, streamlined, and nondiscretionary permitting process for EV charging stations.

AB 970, codified in Government Code Section 65850.71, builds upon AB 1236. AB 970 adds specific binding timelines to the review period based on the size of the project and clarifies parking requirements.

Under State law, key requirements include:
 Applications that meet established requirements must be approved ministerially  Review is limited to objective health and safety considerations  Jurisdictions must adopt a checklist and allow electronic submittal The proposed Ordinance implements these requirements by adding Section 15-27 to the Municipal Code, establishing procedures for application completeness review, approval, denial, and appeals.

11.11.11. Staff Report – Establish Expedited Permitting Process for Electric Vehicle Charging Stations June 16, 2026, Page 2 of 3
The accompanying EV Charging Station Permit Checklist consolidates submission requirements across building, electrical, planning, and fire review, providing a consistent and transparent process for applicants and staff.

Key Features of the Process
Expedited Review: An application shall be deemed complete within five (5) business days after submission if the application is for at least 1 but not more than 25 charging stations at a single site, and shall be deemed complete within ten (10) business days after submission if the application is for more than 25 charging stations at a single site.
Ministerial Approval: Unless a specific, adverse impact to public health or safety is identified, projects are ministerially approved twenty (20) business days after the application is deemed complete if the application is for at least 1 but not more than 25 charging stations at a single site, and are ministerially approved forty (40) business days after the application is deemed complete if the application is for more than 25 electric vehicle charging stations at a single site. Electronic Submittal: Applications may be submitted and processed electronically Coordinated Review: Integrated review requirements across applicable City departments.

Environmental Review (CEQA)
The proposed Ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to 14 CCR Section 15061(b)(3) and Guidelines Sections 15307 and 15308, as it involves administrative regulatory actions that will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable physical environmental impact.

STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
The City currently lacks a formally adopted ordinance and publicly posted checklist fully satisfying these requirements, creating potential inconsistency with State law. Failure to adopt these measures may expose the City to legal risk and delay deployment of EV infrastructure needed to support State and local mobility goals.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with adoption of the Ordinance. Permit processing costs will continue to be recovered through established fees.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:

Staff Report – Establish Expedited Permitting Process for Electric Vehicle Charging Stations June 16, 2026, Page 3 of 3

1. Adopt the attached Ordinance adding Section 15-27 to the Compton Municipal Code establishing an expedited permitting process for EV charging stations; and

2. Approve and direct staff to maintain and publicly post the Electric Vehicle Charging Station Permit Checklist, with authority for the Building Official to update the checklist as needed.

AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ISSUE A PURCHASE ORDER

TO THE WATER REPLENISHMENT DISTRICT OF SOUTHERN

CALIFORNIA (WRD) FOR GROUNDWATER PRODUCTION
ASSESSMENT FEES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026-2027 IN THE AMOUNT OF FIVE MILLION DOLLARS ($5,000,000)

SUMMARY
Adoption of this resolution will authorize the City Manager to issue a purchase order to the Water Replenishment District of Southern California (WRD) for groundwater production assessment fees for fiscal year 2026-2027 in the amount of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000).

BACKGROUND
The Water Replenishment District (WRD) is the largest groundwater agency by population in the State of California, managing and protecting local groundwater resources by monitoring water quality, replenishing aquifers with recycled and captured stormwater, preventing contamination, and administering water rights.

WRD's service area covers a 420-square-mile region of southern Los Angeles County, the most populated county in the United States. The 43 cities in the service area, including a portion of the City of Los Angeles, and other unincorporated parts of LA County use about 220,000 acre-feet (72 billion gallons) of groundwater annually which accounts for nearly half of the region's water supply needs.

The Water Replenishment District groundwater production fees are charges imposed on local or state agencies or other entities that extract (pump) groundwater from underground aquifers. These fees are used to fund the management, conservation, and sustainability efforts for local groundwater basins.

The City of Compton Municipal Water Department (CMWD) serves the City’s water demands through two (2) sources; groundwater production and imported water. The CMWD delivers approximately 8,000 acre-feet of water on an annual basis to the City of Compton populace. This water delivery is provided through City groundwater pumping rights and a combination of lease-in groundwater pumping rights, and MWD imported water (as needed) for total water delivery service.

12.12.12.12. Staff Report – Water Replenishment District of Southern California June 16, 2026 Page 2

STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
Annually, the Compton Municipal Water Department (CMWD) achieves its water delivery goals by groundwater pumping of our own water wells and securing the groundwater pumping rights through the Water Replenishment District of Southern California.

The groundwater pumped by municipal water utilities, water companies, and others are imposed a Replenishment Assessment fee (RA) by the WRD for basin and recharge purposes. Funds generated by the RA cover the cost of water purchased to replenish the two (2) largest and most utilized groundwater basins in Southern California, management and water conservation.

Staff has estimated that the assessment fees for pumping groundwater is Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) for fiscal year 2026-2027.

FISCAL IMPACT
Funds in the amount of Five Million Dollars have been budgeted for this expenditure in Account Number 5000-850-000-4251 (Water Purchases) in the City of Compton Municipal Water Department’s 2026-2027 Fiscal Year Budget.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council adopt this resolution.

AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ISSUE A PURCHASE ORDER

TO THE METROPOLITAN WATER DISTRICT (MWD) OF SOUTHERN

CALIFORNIA FOR THE PURCHASE OF IMPORTED WATER (AS
NEEDED) FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026-2027 IN THE AMOUNT OF THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($300,000).

SUMMARY
Adoption of this resolution will authorize the City Manager to issue a purchase order to the Metropolitan Water District (MWD) of Southern California for the purchase of imported water (as needed) for fiscal year 2026-2027 in the amount of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000).

BACKGROUND
Metropolitan Water District (MWD) of Southern California brings water to the region from two sources: 1) the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers via the State Water Project and 2) the Colorado River via the Colorado Aqueduct. These imported supplies provide a foundation of water reliability in Southern California. These critical imported resources cannot easily be replaced, and MWD works hard to ensure their continued reliability also in the face of climate change.

Metropolitan Water District (MWD) of Southern California services 26 public water agencies, cities, municipal water districts and one county water authority. MWD supplies directly or indirectly to 19 million people in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego and Ventura counties.

MWD has imported water from the Colorado River since 1941 and from Northern California since the early 1970s. MWD is the largest single contractor of the State Water Project and a major supporter of Southern California’s water conservation and water recycling programs.

The goals and objectives of the City of Compton Municipal Water Department (CMWD) focus on maintaining the City’s water infrastructure and providing top tier service to its customers, which sometimes includes the purchase of imported water.

The CMWD delivers approximately 8,000 acre-feet of water on an annual basis to the City of Compton (City) populace. This water delivery is provided through the City, the Water Replenishment District (WRD), groundwater pumping (5780) acre feet, and the

13.13. Staff Report – Metropolitan Water District of Southern California June 16, 2026 Page 2
Metropolitan Water District. The purchase of imported water ensures that in the event of a water well shutdown or maintenance, imported water is available to bridge the gap.

STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
Annually, the CMWD achieves its water delivery goals of 8000-acre feet by groundwater pumping of City water wells, securing the groundwater pumping rights through the WRD of Southern California and as-needed imported water supplies through the MWD in the event of an emergency. If a water well becomes non-operational, the CMWD ensures advance measures are in place with imported water from MWD to ensure continuity of water delivery.

One recent emergency occurred on August 24, 2025, whereby the City’s large production well (Well 18) failed to restart after an operator conducted a static test. Such test measures the static water level, which is the depth of the water in the well under normal and still conditions. After the City’s water contractor was called to inspect, it was discovered that the well’s soft start had failed. At that point, the water level had dropped to 15 feet, and the need to activate the MWD connection was unavoidable. The imported water helped build up the reservoir level and maintain a safe system pressure.

Staff estimates the fees for imported water should not exceed Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000) for fiscal year 2026-2027.

FISCAL IMPACT
Funds in the amount of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000) have been budgeted for this expenditure in Account Number 5000-850-000-4252 (Water Purchases) in the CMWD’s Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Budget.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council adopt this resolution.

RECITALS
The City of Compton Municipal Water Department has determined that it requires services from a contractor to provide upgrade to the existing water utility infrastructure; well sites, reservoir site and MWD connection vaults.

The Contractor represents that it is fully qualified to perform such services by virtue of its experience and the training, education and expertise of its principals and employees. Contractor further represents that it is willing to accept responsibility for performing such services in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

WHEREAS, the Compton Municipal Water Department (Department) is responsible for overseeing the City’s utility infrastructure; and
WHEREAS, the water system is approximately 7.8 square miles, composed of approximately 156 miles of main lines, 8 water wells, 2 reservoir locations with corresponding booster pump stations, approximately 3,500 gate valves, 1700 fire hydrants and 19,001 service connections; and
WHEREAS, on September 12, 2023, pursuant to Resolution No. 25896, the City Council authorized the City Manager to enter into a professional services agreement with Tetra Tech ("Consultant") for professional engineering consultant and project management services; and WHEREAS, due to unforeseen construction site delays (Five times re-engineering storm drain system causing paving delay and redevelopment of water tank foundations), it is necessary for the Department to continue the Professional Services Agreement with the Tetra Tech Inc. as they are currently managing the engineering portion of the Tank Reservoir Upgrade Project; and WHEREAS, Consultant is willing to render such professional services subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this amended Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, Consultant and City, for the consideration, terms and conditions herein described, mutually agree as follows:

1. AGREEMENT:

Services to be rendered shall be provided on a task-by-task basis and shall include, but not be limited to the below-indicated tasks and deliverables:

Evaluating available water quality data from the City’s production wells, including the possible presence of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), 1,4-dioxane, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), and other organic and inorganic contaminants, and making recommendations as appropriate for treatment, blending, and/or other mitigation measures.

Evaluating the City’s production wells in terms of their vertical screened intervals, integrity, and overall condition and making recommendations as appropriate for rehabilitation and repairs, including redevelopment, sealing parts of the well screen, re-casing the wells, replacing pumps, and the like.

Nothing contained in this Agreement will create any contractual relationship between any subcontractor of Contractor and City. Contractor will be responsible for payment of subcontractors. Contractor will bind every subcontractor and every subcontractor of a subcontractor by the terms of this Agreement applicable to Contractor's work unless specifically noted to the contrary in the subcontract and approved in writing by City.

This indemnification and hold harmless obligation does not extend to claims arising out of the negligence or willful misconduct of the City.

11. Insurance. Without limiting the Contractor’s indemnification of the City, Contractor shall obtain and maintain, at its cost and expense, for the duration of the Agreement and any and all amendments, insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damage to property which may arise out of or in connection with performance of the services by Contractor or Contractor’s agents, representatives, employees or subcontractors. The insurance will be obtained from an insurance carrier admitted and authorized to do business in the State of California. Such evidence shall specifically identify this Agreement and shall contain express conditions that the City is to be given written notice at least thirty (30) days in advance of any termination or implementation of a reduction of limits or material change of insurance coverage as specified herein. Failure on the part of the Contractor to procure or maintain insurance shall constitute a material breach upon which the City may immediately terminate this Agreement.

be primary with respect to any insurance maintained by the City.

Coverages and Limits. Contractor will maintain the types of coverages and minimum limits indicated below, unless the Risk Manager or City Manager, in consultation with the City Attorney approves a lower amount.

The coverage will contain no special limitations on the scope of its protection to the below- indicated insureds except for Workers’ Compensation and errors and omissions insurance.

11.1 Commercial General Liability Insurance. $1,000,000 combined single- limit per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury and property damage. If the submitted policies contain aggregate limits, general aggregate limits will apply separately to the work under this Agreement or the general aggregate will be twice the required per occurrence limit.

11.3 Workers' Compensation and Employer's Liability. Workers' Compensation limits as required by the California Labor Code and Employer's Liability limits of $1,000,000 per accident for bodily injury.

11.4 Professional Liability. Errors and omissions liability appropriate to Contractor’s profession with limits of not less than $1,000,000 per claim. The coverage shall also provide an extended two (2) year reporting period commencing upon termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

Endorsements. For Commercial General Liability Insurance and Automobile Liability Insurance, Contractor will ensure that the policies are endorsed to name the City of Compton and its respective elected and appointed officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers as “additional insureds” with respect to liability arising out of the activities of the Contractor. Any failure to comply with reporting provisions of the policies shall not affect coverage provided to the City. Prior to City's execution of this Agreement, Contractor will furnish certificates of insurance and endorsements to City.

Waiver of Subrogation. The policies shall contain a waiver of subrogation for the benefit of City.

Contractor agrees to indemnify City for any claims, costs, losses, fees, penalties, interest, or damages suffered by City resulting from Contractor’s failure to comply with this provision.

16. General Compliance with Laws. Contractor will keep fully informed of federal, state and local laws and ordinances and regulations which in any manner affect those employed by Contractor, or in any way affect the performance of the services by Contractor. Contractor will at all times observe and comply with these laws, ordinances, and regulations and will be responsible for the compliance of the services with all applicable laws, ordinances and regulations.

17. Termination. In the event of the Contractor's failure to prosecute, deliver, or perform the services, after giving written notice of default and two (2) days to correct the same, then, in addition to any other remedies, City may terminate this Agreement for nonperformance by notifying Contractor in writing. Contractor has five (5) business days to deliver any documents owned by City and all work in progress to City address contained in this Agreement. City will make a determination of fact based upon the work product delivered to City and of the percentage of work that Contractor has performed which is usable and of worth to City in having the Agreement completed. Based upon that finding City will determine the final payment of the Agreement. In the event City elects to terminate, City will have the right to immediate possession of all Work Product and work in progress prepared by Contractor, whether located at the project site, at Contractor's place of business, or at the offices of a subcontractor. 9 | P a g e
The City’s obligation is payable only from funds appropriated for the purpose of this Agreement. All funds for payments after the end of the current fiscal year are subject to the City’s legislative appropriation for this purpose. In the event this Agreement extends into succeeding fiscal year periods and the City Council does not allocate sufficient funds for the next succeeding fiscal year payments, this Agreement shall terminate immediately upon written notice from the City.

Either Party, upon tendering fifteen (15) calendar days written notice to the other Party, may terminate this Agreement for convenience. In this event and upon request of City, Contractor will assemble the work product without charge and put it in order for proper filing and closing and deliver it to City.

Contractor warrants that Contractor has not employed or retained any company or person, other than a bona fide employee working for Contractor, to solicit or secure this Agreement, and that Contractor has not paid or agreed to pay any company or person, other than a bona fide employee, any fee, commission, percentage, brokerage fee, gift, or any other consideration contingent upon, or resulting from, the award or making of this Agreement. For breach or violation of this warranty, City will have the right to terminate this Agreement for nonperformance, or, in its discretion, to deduct from the Agreement price or consideration, or otherwise recover, the full amount of the fee, commission, percentage, brokerage fees, gift, or contingent fee.

19. Claims and Lawsuits. By signing this Agreement, Contractor agrees that any Agreement claim submitted to City must be asserted as part of the Agreement process as set forth in this Agreement and not in anticipation of litigation or in conjunction with litigation. Contractor acknowledges that if a false claim is submitted to City by Contractor, it may be considered fraud and Contractor may be subject to criminal prosecution. Contractor acknowledges that California Government Code sections 12650 et seq., the False Claim Act, applies to this Agreement and provides for civil penalties where a person knowingly submits a false claim to a public entity.

These provisions include false claims made with deliberate ignorance of the false information or in reckless disregard of the truth or falsity of information. If City seeks to recover penalties pursuant to the False Claims Act, it is entitled to recover its litigation costs, including attorney’s fees.
