PRESENTATIONS
2. CERTIFICATE PRESENTATION – MRS. DELORES ZURITA – Councilmember Andre Spicer
Councilmember Spicer prepared a video of Mrs. Delores Zurita celebrating her remarkable work.
Councilwoman Zurita, a legacy of compassion, leadership and her lifelong service to the City of Compton. Councilwoman Zurita, a proud Compton resident since 1949 has devoted her life to uplifting the people and neighborhoods of Compton through effective leadership, honorary compassion and unwavering dedication. Her decades of service both inside and outside of the City Hall has left an indelible mark on the city she calls home. Delores’ desire to serve others was born from a deep personal promise. As a child she watched her beloved mother bedridden with debilitating arthritis longing to attend school events and activities but was unable to do so because of her condition. Delores vowed that when she became a mother, she would attend every one of her children’s events in her mother’s honor. That commitment to being present for others became the foundation of a life dedicated to service, compassion and advocacy. Honoring that promise Delores began her public service journey as the Charter PTA President at her children’s school, Clarence A. Dickerson Elementary. It was in this role that she first discovered her voice as a leader and advocate. Her dedication to improving opportunities for young people and families laid the groundwork for what would become a lifetime of transformative service to the City of Compton.
Educated in Compton’s public schools, Delores went on to attend Compton Community College
8. 2
and the University of Laverne. She later became the First District Representative on the Compton City Council where she served two terms over eight transformative years. During her tenure she made history as the first Councilmember appointed to the State Board joining the California Continuing Care Advisory Committee in 2003. Long before public office Delores began her service as a young mother driven by desire to create opportunities for her children and their peers.
In 1968 she co-founded Dickerson Lighted Schools, Inc., Compton’s first after-school program.
When federal funding ended Delores reimaged the program to service seniors, ultimately delivering over 3.5 million meals through Meals on Wheels and Congregate Dining Services.
Delores brought that same spirit and care of action to the City Hall. Her vision and leadership were instrumental in a period of phenomenal progress for Compton. Gonzales Park Aquatics Center, a long-awaited pool and waterpark for west Compton youth became a reality to her tireless advocacy. In 2018 the City of Compton fittingly renamed it the Delores Zurita Aquatics Center in her honor. She spearheaded the creation of the Compton Renaissance Bus System, which continues to serve residents to this day. She led efforts to repave streets, enact a youth curfew to deter crime and implement bans on Saturday Night Specials. Under her guidance the city welcomed key economic and community assets, two Rite Aids, a new McDonalds, a state-of-the-art Boxing Gym, a community garden and housing revitalization and beautification initiatives such as First Time Home Buyers, Commercial Façade and Project Redirection. She secured nearly half a million dollars in federal grant funding for a national study on senior nutrition and hydration which remains a national model. Delores served on the Compton College Citizens Bond Oversight Committee and currently serves as Chair for the E. Boyd Esters Rosecrans Manor Board of Directors, continuing her mission to care for the most vulnerable. Her legacy lives on through her two daughters, Satra Zurita, Compton City Clerk and President Emeritus of the Compton Unified School District Board of Trustees and Janna Zurita former two term Councilmember for the first district. She is also the proud grandmother of Armani and Shanelle. In reflecting on her mother’s legacy City Clerk Satra Zurita shared “My mother exemplifies the extraordinary in public service.
A Greek proverb says a society grows great when old men or women plant trees whose shade they will never enjoy. My mother planted many trees. She made sacrifices that others wouldn’t and from her I’ve learned the true cost of service and the power of legacy. I am proud to carry it forward”.
Delores Zurita’s contributions have earned her countless honors including: Woman of Distinction, Senator Rod Wright; Woman of the Year, 52nd Assembly District Assemblymember Hall; Business Woman of the Year, Compton Chamber of Commerce; Outstanding Achievement Award, Top Ladies of Distinction; PTA Lifetime Achievement Award, Clarence A. Dickinson PTA; Humanitarian Award, City of Compton; Breast Cancer Survivor Activist of the Year, Woman of Color Organization and many more. Councilwoman Zurita is a beacon of what it means to lead with heart, act with purpose and serve with love. She is and will always be one of Compton’s greatest public servants, a matriarch of progress, a champion of equity and a guardian of the community’s future. The video also included heartfelt words from Micah Ali, Joanne Hartfield and Judge Kelvin Filer.
Councilmember Spicer stated he is truly honored to be there to recognize and celebrate the Honorable Delores Zurita for her legacy and the work she has done in Compton. Some people whose impact reaches beyond the walls of City Hall, those leaderships leave fingerprints on the fabric of the city. Councilwoman Zurita is one of those people. She didn’t just serve the City of Compton she shaped it through City Council decision, every vote cast during her service from 1995 to 2001, every conversation she had with residents, whether through her leadership as PTA Charter President at Dickinson Elementary or her decades of running the Meals on Wheels Program. Councilwoman Zurita led with love for the city and an unwavering commitment to the people. She navigated challenges with resilience, she stayed rooted in community and reminded them what it looks like to meet with heart, grace and grit. For generations to come people will benefit from the groundwork she paved. For those who now have the privilege of serving, her legacy is not only an example, but also a challenge, a challenge to lead boldly, to speak truth and stay grounded in the community they serve. “Councilwoman Zurita thank you for your years of service, your strength, your dedication and showing them what real leadership looks like.
Councilmember Duhart stated that when they had Block Club Meetings Mrs. Zurita would come.
One thing she will always remember is someone reported that at Food 4 Less they had spilled stuff on the floor and were not mopping it up. Mrs. Zurita said, “that’s all right baby I’ll handle it” and she did. She is honored to step in her shoes in district one. It is a privilege. She can stand tall because of her and she really appreciates it.
3 Councilmember Bowers thanked her for all she did for the community and the City Clerk because he and City Clerk Satra Zurita graduated from high school together but she’s older than him.
Councilmember Darden, “Ms. Zurita we have known each other for a long time, and I thoroughly enjoyed the Meals on Wheels, are you still cooking I need some food, thanks so much for all of the contributions you have made to the city and the citizens of Compton. May God continue to richly bless you”.
Mayor Shariff “I had the privilege of meeting you when I was on the School Board. As a matter of fact, it was actually way before that. The advice you have given to me I carry it with me every day I sit in the Mayor seat. Thank you for all of your hard work”.
Janna Zurita thanked Councilmember Spicer for honoring and recognizing her mom who is a historian in the community and was the first for a lot of things. She did it with grace. Janna stated she could never be that graceful. She thanked Councilmember Spicer again as well as the Mayor and Council, indicating she was surprised that they recognized the service of Delores Zurita.
City Clerk Satra Zurita thanked everyone and noted that it’s nice to get their flowers when they could smell them. She stated that often times they have folks that have looked out for them and carried them on their backs and they don’t say thank you so it’s really nice to have the community recognize her mom’s work. She will be 90 years old in March. She still looks good, she still moves good, she has all of her sensibilities, and this is a really great honor thanks to all.
Mrs. Delores Zurita thanked everyone for all of the kind words and pictures. She remembers the pictures. “Emma you said you remember me but I remember when you first came to Compton you came walking in with two big men and I said who’s that lady to myself and you told me I’m running for Mayor and I said ok you better save some money it take a lot of money to run. ” Her children told her she was going to be honored, she started trying to get stuff together, but they let her know that she didn’t need to get anything together they had already done that. “To everybody, me Delores Zurita was born in Mobile, Alabama. I came to Compton when I was twelve.” She gave a heartwarming, touching story on how she and her family moved to California. She has always been a care giver. She married Clarence Zurita, who was a foster child and she was a caregiver to him. She’s a quiet care giver because most people think she’s shy. She thanked everyone, noting that she has a wonderful life, wonderful children, and wonderful grandchildren.
Mayor Sharif stated she wanted her immigrant community to know that she sees them, she values them and she remains committed to standing with them. Compton has always been a place where families from all backgrounds come to build better lives and that spirit continues today. They have taken steps to make sure the community has access to real support including Know Your Rights resources on the city’s website and a continued partnership with CHIRLA (Coalition of Humane Immigrant Rights). The work is personal to her and ongoing. As the Mayor she will continue to fight for dignity, fairness and all who call Compton home. Keep in mind those who are afraid to leave their homes. Keep them in our prayers while they take the break and try to get through the ICE issues they are dealing with, not only in Compton but throughout the state of California.

Councilmember Spicer needed clarity on the forty-million-dollar deficit and asked if it was from the cases they settled legally and have already been paid out.
City Controller Rahban responded yes, indicating that there was a deficit because that fund that paid them had to borrow money from the General Fund.
Councilmember Spicer asked if the money was ever reimbursed.
City Controller Rahban replied there are some insurance proceeds that can be collected to help the fund pay back to the General Fund but at this time it has not yet been reimbursed.

The tax covers pension costs and other post-employment benefit costs (OPEB) for health care for the City’s current full-time employees and retirees and beneficiaries for all employee groups.
There are approximately 277 active members (employees) and 417 inactive, retirees and beneficiary members.

PUBLIC COMMENTS ON AGENDA ITEMS AND NON-AGENDA MATTERS
Natalie Hernandez passed out flyers to the Council. She was asking for the Council’s support with a program called Empower Gateway. A new program that the Gateway Cities Council of Governments she represents as an Environmental Project Manager. It’s supported by Southern California Edison as well as the Southern California Regional Energy Network. It helps SCE customers drive clean and save money with rebates. They are asking for the city’s logo to be used on some of the promotional materials that will be passed to them. They are promoting three programs, four-thousand-dollar rebate that SCE provides for preowned EV and plug in vehicles, SCE provides charge ready home panel upgrades to upgrade the electrical panel, $4200 is offered for that. There is another rebate around charging on the grid when it’s most efficient and cheapest.
On July 30, 2025, from 6-8pm there will be a workshop in Compton at Compton Proud Studios located at 931 Rosecrans Ave., Compton, CA.
Cruz Delgado was in attendance to talk about the ICE issues. She is a proud daughter of immigrant parents. She has lived in Compton all of her life and graduated from Dominguez High School. Her community is under attack, and they do not feel safe anymore. Many of her friends and family are afraid to go to work. Families are being separated daily, people are disappearing and children are scared their parents will not return when they leave home for work. She would like them to please protect her and the community.
Mayor Sharif instructed her to see her liaison in the back and provide her phone number.
Dion Arnold stated they are excited to share their upcoming event Sunset Talks in Compton. It’s a great opportunity to sit down and relax in a Town Hall setting for an intimate conversation with the local leaders. The event will take place July 25, 2025, at the Dollarhide Community Center from 6pm-7:30pm. This is the community’s moment to ask questions, share their thoughts and connect over coffee and donuts. No formal speeches, no long lines, just formal conversations about the issues that matter most to the community.
7 Maria Villareal from Compton Latino Chamber of Commerce congratulated Mrs. Delores Zurita indicating it was well deserved because she is one of the pillars of the City of Compton with a legend of doing things right in the city. The Compton Latino Chamber Commerce has started a new program to assist the immigrants in the City of Compton so that they could live and work without fear and be able to step out of the shadows and participate with society as they should. For assistance, please call the Community Resource Center of the Compton Latino Chamber of Commerce at 310-438-1360.
Marjorie Shipp was in attendance to complain about the same lot that it took four years to clean.
She doesn’t know if they are aware that the vegetation is overgrown and there was a homeless person there for a while. She’s hoping to get it cleaned. She called Code Enforcement and they said they cannot go on the lot because it is a private lot. She’s concerned about her neighborhood and the fact that Code Enforcement is no longer patrolling because there are many violations including parking on the lawn, the trash cans are visible from the street and this past Saturday night they had three Mariachi Parties going on at the same time. She contacted the Sheriff Department at around 12:30am. After not being able to reach them, she called again because they started popping off fireworks. It’s very disheartening to watch her neighborhood deteriorate. She can’t wait until they bring the parking permits back, but she knows there will be a fight because of the number of people that are currently in the neighborhood.
Councilmember Darden addressed the property on Raymond and Alondra, indicating she spoke to the City Manager about it today and he’s working on getting it cleaned up. Hopefully they already have a policy in place where if the city cleans up the lot it goes on the owner’s property taxes.
Lisa Hayes stated she put in a work order for a specific street to be painted yellow on Greenleaf and Long Beach Blvd. adjacent to 7-Eleven. It’s been quite a long time, and it has not been done.
Street maintenance was doing some painting on Long Beach Blvd. She asked them when they were going to paint the street yellow. They advised her they would get to it when they could. She called Street Maintenance; she was transferred to Engineering and back to Street Maintenance.
More than once, she has almost had a head on collision. What would it take, someone dying there? Mr. Miller complained about the parties and loud music until 4am. He doesn’t mind parties, but he can’t deal with a live band going until 4am. They need to find a way to keep the issue under control. The loud music and fireworks are a problem. When he calls law enforcement they act like they don’t even know where his house is when he provides his address and they do not show up when he calls. The only time they show up is when someone gets shot, stabbed or beaten. They need some consistent patrol in the neighborhood. They need to scrutinize the Sheriff Department.
He’s a Veteran and he fought for the country to be free. As far as The Olympic Committee is concerned, is there a way of luring traffic to city businesses to make money.
Mark Smith indicated that the words that come out of his mouth will not be in order. What is in order is thanking Mrs. Delores Zurita for her legacy and the Zurita family for serving the community. The presentation that the City Controller gave was gut wrenching. They cannot float anymore bonds in the city. “Madam Mayor you said grow together as a city, she made a presentation and the City Treasurer was not there he doesn’t see them growing together.” They cannot tell him there’s not a need for the City Treasurer to be present during such critical time.
They have an audit coming up and he wonders if the community is sustainable with three hundred million dollars unfunded. He knows some of them want to say it wasn’t on their watch but here they are. It’s alarming and after the presentation they didn’t even have questions. Will the employees have a pension? Have they looked into it? They are talking about going to the Black Caucus, but he cannot get his trash picked up. He’s tired of being nickeled and dimed. Where is the prorating on their trash? He served the city for thirty-two years and from what the Controller presented that may not be sustainable. When she opened it up to them for questions, he would expect them to come up with some questions for her. He’s not accusing anyone there, but someone dipped in the money. How are they going to pay their employees? If employees are listening, why are they not at the Council Meetings it’s their pension. How are they going to fix it? Janna Zurita thanked everyone again. She stated that one of the greatest things has been done in the third district for the railroad tracks on Wilmington behind the school. Those particular railroad tracks have been that way since she’s been out of high school. When she was on the Council, they used to have a party car on the weekends from the Sheriff Department, and it was only dispatched 8 for party disturbances so that may be something they want to look into. It is much more relaxing on that side than being up there, good luck and good job. Thanks for the railroad tracks.
Tanya Lewis first district noted they got the railroad tracks done on Wilmington, but can someone get something done on Wilmington and Alondra at 7-Eleven where someone is dumping. The bushes behind 7-Eleven near the airport need to be cleaned. The City Treasurer has not been there for three weeks. He should have been there today, and she will continue to inquire about the 5.6 million dollars. She needs a better understanding of the forty million dollars that they are using Measure P for. She thought Measure P was for the city and they are dipping into it. How did they get to this point, something is wrong with the Treasurer and Controller not getting together to figure out what’s going on with the money. She wanted to know if they could come together sometime in September on a Saturday at Dollarhide and have a question-and-answer session because the three minutes they speak there is not enough time for what is going on.
Keke Owens invited everyone to her 10th Annual Back to School Bash. They are partnering with Father’s and Mothers Who Care, a nonprofit in the City of Compton. They have been assisting the unhoused families and individuals. This Sunday they will be hosting a Back-to-School Drive where they will be giving away school supplies, clothing, hygiene products, tablets and food. She will be the DJ. They will be having games and activities. She thanked Councilmember Spicer for assisting with the event. At some point and time, they all have to sit down and have a real conversation. She coordinates events. They are looking for volunteers and donations. They would like to have more events in Compton.
Fidel Marquez from district one congratulated Mrs. Delores Zurita for being an outstanding public servant. It takes a special somebody to be a public servant. He spoke about item #12, indicating they did not get a report on the last event they attended therefore he needs a report back of what they did before they go to Washington DC. He requested a copy of both presentations from the City Controller. It was alarming for him to hear the reports and no questions back from city leaders. Forty million for Workers Comp, it seems as though someone abused the system.
Why wasn’t anyone investigated? To him that’s double dipping when they receive a pension and use money for Worker’s Comp. They need many investigations. It’s not affordable to live in Compton anymore. They need someone to step up and save Compton now. Someone stood up there last week and said he was going to blow the whistle and wanted the tax rate to drop so it would benefit him, but he failed to state how many lawsuits he caused the city. “How much did it cost us Eric?” And he’s getting an employee pension on top of that, yet he wants to blow the whistle, he’s going to blow the whistle for him. When was the last time they got reassessed from the County?
Missy “congratulations Mrs. Zurita the pillar of Compton. I remember when you had Meals on Wheels coming through the city for all of the seniors. They did not have to go to Dollarhide. Their meals were delivered straight to their homes, and I love that as well as all the other stuff you did including sitting on the Council. They may have not liked each other, but they got things done and there was no deficit I appreciate you honey.” She spoke regarding a nonprofit that received funding called Nibbles and Thoughts. They never received any information about what they did in the parks. Nibbles and Thoughts received over $100,000 and they were supposed to be in the parks giving counseling to the kids, but they have never heard anything about it therefore they need to investigate that situation. The Meals on Wheels they are implementing this time around are going to the parks. They need to figure out how to get the meals to the seniors at their home for those that are homebound. As for Item #12 she remembers when they went on an excursion and never brought anything back. They need them to bring something back regarding what she calls field trips. To hear a deficit of over forty million dollars she knows it goes all the way back after Omar Bradley. That’s a lot of money yet a lot of them up there are talking about running. They need someone up there that’s educated with degrees and knows how to run the city. Brandon needs to start attending the meetings. He thinks he’s exempt but he’s an elected official and he needs to be there to answer questions. The city employees that work on the street do not wear their safety vest.
Deputy McIntosh from Compton Sheriff invited everyone to their National Night Out on August 5, 2025, from 5pm to 8pm at the Compton Home Depot Towne Center parking lot.
They have over twenty-five vendors to provide free resources, free food, free entertainment and free activities for the kids. He provided a shot spotter update indicating that the system has been working really well and is a great resource for the deputies out patrolling. There have been two incidents of shootings where the shot spotter has assisted with arrest and recovered firearms. 9 Thanks for providing the resource. A detailed report will be provided soon on how beneficial the system is to them.
City Manager Hopkins noted he discussed with Councilmember Darden about having a Workshop Town Hall to address a series of things and the Unfunded Actuary Liability was one of the items. There’s been a gross misunderstanding concerning the Pension Fund and the UAL.
Every Pension Fund essentially has a UAL. No Pension Fund is one hundred percent funded and most actuarial experts would recommend that one does not fund a Pension Fund one hundred percent. When you deal with Actuary Liability it is basically saying if the city had to pay for every employee that is retired, every employee that is in the system, if they had to pay their benefit today for the life of their retirement this is the amount of money that would exist. That is no different than we you go buy a home the price of the home is five hundred thousand dollars but you cannot pay five hundred thousand dollars, what do you do? You finance the house over a period until you pay for it. That is essentially what the city is doing when it pays its pension contribution for all of the existing retirees as well as those that are current employees who at some point will retire via PERS. That number is based on whether they had to pay today. They have a plan they are going to present but they have to workshop it with the Council and the community prior to implementing it and that is a Pension Trust Fund that has been recommended by the State Auditor. She also mentioned a lumpsum payment they had considered making payment of seventy million dollars about a year ago. They have to have dialogue about that because the reduction of that UAL has an impact. It has an impact on rate payers, because for those that pay taxes in the City of Compton it will reduce the pension tax and take Compton off the list of being the city most at financial risk.
Once they reduce the UAL, they will come off the list of financial risk. The pension system is not in jeopardy. The pension system is solid. Residents will be given the opportunity to publicly ask and receive answers to questions they may have outside of the three-minute limit they are allowed in regular Council Meetings.

COMPANY LLP, AND TO OPEN A NEW PURCHASE ORDER TO PRICE PAIGE &
COMPANY LLP FOR CONTINUED CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT
SERVICES ($36,478)
Councilmember Bowers asked for insight regarding the company.
City Controller Rahban stated that a few months ago when the original resolution was passed.
They believed they had a certain dollar amount of savings with their contract with Price Paige.
Price Paige CPA was hired almost a year ago to assist the Controller’s Office with catching up on audits and work papers so that the audits could be done efficiently. When their work from FY 2023 audit was completed, they realized that they had additional savings from the original contract that had not been used but they didn’t realize they had an outstanding invoice therefore it changed the amount of savings they had. This is to ask for a new purchase order to finish out the contract and contract amendment.
Mayor Sharif asked were they still looking into trying to complete the 2024 audit in the same time frame as before which was the end of August.
City Controller Rahban replied, they are still working on it with the CPAs. They are gathering all of the audit worksheets and organizing them for the Auditor. They had thought the end of August but due to continued insufficient staff it’s taking a little bit longer. Her anticipated completion date is between September and October, but they are also preparing for FY2025 as well.
12 Councilmember Darden asked if the Audit Committee Meeting was scheduled for next week.
City Controller Rahban stated it was scheduled for July 30, 2025, at 3pm but due to the construction of the Council Chambers she has to find an alternative space for the meeting.
Councilmember Darden asked her to make sure the information was distributed to the community.
City Controller Rahban stated she would do so.
On Motion by Duhart, seconded by Spicer Resolution #26,287 entitled “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON RESCINDING RESOLUTION NO. 26,181 AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A NEW

Reginald Donald, Deputy Fire Chief explained that Downey Dispatch is the responsible party that dispatch all of the 911 calls in the area. It is a joint communication center with Downey, Compton and Santa Fe Springs Fire Departments. Each call is $63 per call.
Councilmember Darden asked if there was anything in place to bring the dispatch back in-house in Compton.
Reginald Donald, Deputy Fire Chief, stated they visited trying to bring the dispatch back to Compton Fire Department about four years ago and that’s still in the works.
On Motion by Darden, seconded by Bowers Resolution #26,288 entitled “A RESOLUTION OF

DEPARTMENT GENERAL MANAGER
Councilmember Darden referred to page two of the staff report indicating that once the Personnel Board approves any changes to any classifications it’s usually brought to the Council within two weeks. What was the delay with this because there are a lot positions. She’s also concerned about so many positions at one time.
City Manager Hopkins stated it took them some time to get the side letter done, there was some change in leadership, and they did not want to bring it to the board before the side letters were approved and completed.
Mayor Sharif noted she was going over all of the positions and noticed that the Purchasing Manager is one of the items that was addressed in the Audit is that correct? City Manager Hopkins indicated that was correct but there was more than one item. There was a series of things from the 2022 Audit that the State Auditor recommended. One was being able to create Succession Planning, which is why there are a series of assistant positions that allow them to start Succession Planning for long-term growth and professionalism in the city. The State Auditor also recommended the creation of a Purchasing Department. There are a series of positions listed that increase their effectiveness as a city.
Councilmember Darden noted she is concerned because they adopted the budget less than a month ago. Did they anticipate any of the positions at that time? City Manager Hopkins answered, yes there were a series of the positions that were in their budget enhancements.
Councilmember Darden replied, but they could not include it in the 2024-2025 budget because they hadn’t finished with the union.
City Manager Hopkins stated that was absolutely correct scheduling issues with the union in terms of the meeting conferrers prevented them from finalizing it before the budget.

COUNCIL COMMENTS
Councilmember Darden offered the following communications/announcements:
On July 16, 2025, together with the 125 Historical Society they toured the refurbished Heritage House. The project has come a long way. Thanks to the efforts of Contractor P31 Construction and the General Services Department. The structure is taking shape to regain the old glory. The ground surrounding the house is now the focus and the area should be designated as an official green space and officially recognized as a park for the City of Compton. Thanks to City Manager Hopkins for securing the CDGB Funds to make the historical preservation something the city could take pride in. On July 17, 2025, she attended the Celebration of Life Service for Henry Renard Smith who served the City of Compton for twenty-four years as a Case Manager at Career Link. On July 19, 2025, she attended the Grand Opening of Trinity Kids Child Development Center at 1806 E. Compton Blvd. They serve children from infancy through preschool age.
They have done a wonderful job and the facility is beautiful. On July 19, 2025, she and several Councilmembers attended the Makers Hub Open House at 2125 W. Compton Blvd. It is a wonderful place where residents can receive assistance with their DIY projects. No project is too large. Most of the services are free. On July 25, 2025, from 6pm to 7:30pm she and the Mayor will be hosting with Assemblymember Mike Gipson a Sunset Talk at Dollarhide Community Center on the Terrace.

Funeral Services for Margie will be held on July 26, 2025, from 3pm to 4pm at Rose Hills Memorial Skyrose Chapel, 3888 Workmill Road, Whitter, CA. She notified the City Manager that she had a long list of tasks he could handle during the month of August. She requested that he check all sidewalks to make sure they are smooth and safe, the vacuum truck, where are they with rehabbing the bus stops. She needs a Municipal Citywide Trash Receptacle Management Plan. She requested an update on the cement on the railroad on Alameda, the EV charging stations, they need someone to be in the field identifying and assessing for protection of the citizens to avoid claims against the city. She requested a status as to whether or not they are going to demo the Public Works yard. The gazebos on Alameda need repainting and refurbished where necessary. Citywide stump removals, city surveillance cameras, status of the Welcome to Compton signs and street archway banner for entrance to certain streets in the city.
Councilmember Bowers offered the following communication/announcements:
He honored the three Sheriff deputies that lost their lives at the Training Center in Los Angeles. Let us take a moment to reflect and keep their families, fellow officers and loved ones in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. He took the opportunity to express his sincere gratitude to his fellow Councilmembers, and the Mayor for their support and kindness during the passing of his mother. “Councilmember Duhart, thank you for attending the memorial, Mayor thank you for taking time to stop by the repast”, her presence meant a great deal to him and his family. Special thanks to Sunny Cove Community Block Club for their service and dedication during the repast. “Renee Barn thank you your willingness to step up and serve, your support did not go unnoticed”.
He recognized and thanked the Compton Fire Department for showing up in full support, bringing out the fire trucks and standing in solidarity for his family. His family sincerely appreciates the Compton community. He knows his mom is smiling down on the support surrounding them.
As they prepare to go dark for the month of August, he would like to reflect on the considerable progress they have made throughout the year, particularly in the third district.
They made significant, impactful strides in several key areas. They have taken strong and proactive measures to combat sex trafficking across the city. They have made progress in addressing the issue of illegal street takeovers. The Code Enforcement operations, the security infrastructure and the fire services have all improved significantly. He gave a detailed report on the progress throughout the city to date. He thanked the Parks and Recreation staff and leadership for their responsiveness in providing staff with flexibility to lead and implement programs that truly reflect the needs of the community. He recognized the third district community Block Clubs. He thanked them for initiating programs, organizing neighborhood activities and taking ownership not of just their blocks but the city. Their leadership and sense of responsibility is what keep the neighborhood going.
To close out the year he will be hosting a Senior Round Table on July 28, 2025, from 1pm to 2:30pm. at Dollarhide Community Center in the main room. He would like to hear directly from the elders of the city. He invites them to join him for an honest, meaningful dialogue. Tell him what they need, what they see around the city and how they could work together to move Compton forward.
16 Although there will be no official Council Meetings in the month of August. He wants the community to know that city business will continue. He remains available and committed, please contact his office with any questions, concerns or needs during recess. He thanked all of the residents of Compton for their continued support, patience and belief in the city’s capabilities. They understand that real progress takes time and they are committed to pushing forward through community unity to build a stronger, safer and more viable Compton for everyone. Thank you, have a safe recess.

ESTABLISHING THE CLASSIFICATION SPECIFICATION AND
AMENDING THE SALARY RANGE OF CITY MANAGER
SUMMARY
This resolution recommends an amendment to the Position Classification Plan and Salary Plan by establishing the classification specification of the Unclassified position and amending the Salary Range of City Manager.
BACKGROUND
No formal classification specification has previously existed for the position of City Manager within the City of Compton’s position classification plan. The Human Resources Department prepared a formal classification specification for the position of City Manager to define the position’s duties, responsibilities, minimum qualifications, and reporting relationships consistent with the City Charter and Municipal Code requirements.
On June 03, 2026, the City Council of the City of Compton met in closed session to review the proposed classification and salary range for the position of City Manager.
On June 18, 2026, the Personnel Board of the City of Compton approved the proposed classification specification for the position of City Manager. §1103 of the City of Compton Charter authorizes the Personnel Board to recommend changes to the classification plan to the City of Compton Council for consideration.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The City Manager is an Unclassified position under the City Charter and is not represented by a recognized employee organization. Accordingly, the establishment of this classification specification did not require a meet-and-confer process or side letter.
The classification specification was prepared by the Human Resources Department to formally document the duties, responsibilities, minimum qualifications, and reporting relationships of the position consistent with the City Charter and Municipal Code.
The establishment of the classification specification supports organizational clarity and ensures the position is formally documented within the City’s Position Classification Plan in alignment with the City Charter and Municipal Code requirements.

BACKGROUND
The City of Compton’s Urban Forest Program plays a crucial role in enhancing the quality of life in the City by providing numerous environmental, social and economic benefits.
Managing and enhancing trees in Compton not only beautifies the City but also contributes to improving air quality, reducing energy costs, mitigating stormwater runoff and fostering community well-being.
The Urban Forestry Program oversees more than 12,000 trees and is responsible for administering proper tree care; planting new trees; removing dead and hazardous trees; conducting reforestation projects in the parks, municipal grounds, open spaces, medians and streets, and maintaining a street database with maintenance information about trees throughout the City.
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
The management of public trees is the responsibility of the Public Works Street Maintenance Department (Department). As part of the recent budget process, the Department was allocated additional funding to enhance tree maintenance services within the City.
This funding will allow the Department to expand its efforts to care for and maintain street trees, helping to ensure the continued vitality of the City’s urban forest. This initiative will

provide lasting benefits to residents and contribute to a healthier environment for years to come.
United Pacific Services, Inc. (UPS) is the City’s current contractor for tree maintenance services.

The additional funding of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000) will increase this amount to One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) for the current fiscal year and annually for the remainder of the agreement.
In addition to tree trimming, UPS provides Tree Inventory Software and GPS mapping services. These tools are crucial for the City, as they help document the locations and characteristics of individual trees, along with their surrounding environment. The Tree Inventory includes street trees, park trees and trees located on other City-owned properties. Together, the Inventory and GPS services are essential for managing a healthy, resilient urban forest, which directly supports the well-being of both the environment and the community.
United Pacific Services, Inc. has extensive experience, having worked with over 20 municipalities in Southern California. The company employs certified Arborists and Pest Control Advisors, and operates a 2-acre facility in South Gate. Additionally, they are able to respond promptly to emergency tree service requests.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds in an amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) is allocated for this expenditure in the Department’s Fiscal Year 2026-27 Budget in Account No. 2502-720-000-4266.
ALTERNATIVE
No other alternative is being proposed.

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached Resolution to allocate additional funding to United Pacific Services, Inc. for tree trimming services.

ORDER WITH BRIGHTVIEW LANDSCAPE SERVICES INC. TO
PERFORM ATHLETIC FIELD MAINTENANCE SERVICES FOR THE
GONZALES PARK DODGER DREAMFIELDS FOR AN AMOUNT NOT

SUMMARY
Adoption of the attached resolution of the City Council of the City of Compton authorizes the City Manager to enter into a three-year service agreement, with an option to extend for two additional one-year terms, and establish a purchase order with BrightView Landscape Services, Inc. to perform athletic field maintenance services for the Gonzales Park Dodger Dreamfields for an amount not to exceed $311,544.
BACKGROUND
The City of Compton has partnered with Dodgers Dreamteam to provide a sports-based youth development program to serve Compton’s youth. The program uses the power of sport to provide critical resources and services to communities that are experiencing social injustices. In order to assist with this task, the City of Compton must contract with a professional field maintenance provider to keep the sports fields in a safe and playable condition.
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
City Council approval is required to secure athletic field maintenance services for the Gonzales Park Dodger Dreamfields at Gonzales Park, located at 1101 W. Cressey Street, Compton, California. The current contract with BrightView Landscape Services, Inc. expires on June 30, 2026. The Department of Recreation is requesting approval to establish a new long-term agreement with the incumbent vendor for continued field maintenance services.

A Request for Proposals, (RFP) was published on October 8, 2025. A total of five (5) proposals were received. A review committee evaluated and ranked the proposals out of a maximum of 60 points, as shown below:

2 Mariposa Landscape Inc. 51.66
3 World Sports 48.66
4 Greenfield Management 36.66
5 Amerigreen Landscape 29
BrightView Landscape Services, Inc. submitted the most responsive proposal and had the second-lowest bid. The annual cost for each contractor is listed below:
Contractor Proposal (Cost per year)
Mariposa Landscape Inc. $86,628.00
BrightView Landscape Services, Inc. $103,848.00
World Sports $195,554.27
Amerigreen Landscaping $212,400.00
Greenfield Management $214,200.00
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost for Fiscal Years 2026–2027, 2027–2028, and 2028–2029 is One Hundred Three Thousand Eight Hundred Forty-Eight Dollars ($103,848) annually. If the two (2) one-year extension options are exercised, the same annual amount of $103,848 will be budgeted for Fiscal Years 2029–2030 and 2030–2031. The total contract amount shall not exceed Three Hundred Eleven Thousand Five Hundred Forty-Four Dollars ($311,544). Funds for these expenditures will be available in Account Number 1001-840-000-4266, subject to annual budget approval.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into a three-year service agreement, with an option to extend for two additional one-year terms, for athletic field maintenance services at Gonzales Park.
JUSTIFICATION FOR AWARD RECOMMENDATION
Although a competing vendor submitted a proposal at a slightly lower cost, staff recommends awarding the contract to the current service provider due to several key Staff report-Dodger Dreamfields
Brightview Landscape Services Inc - Athletic Field Maintenance July 7, 2026 Page 3
operational and financial considerations. The cost difference between the two proposals is approximately $17,220; however, the value offered by the incumbent vendor outweighs the marginal savings for the following reasons:
• Continuity of Service
The current vendor is already performing the work on-site and is fully familiar with the facility’s systems, conditions, and operational requirements. Transitioning to a new vendor would introduce delays, onboarding time, and potential disruptions to service delivery.
• Proven Performance and Reliability
The incumbent vendor has consistently met performance expectations, demonstrated high-quality workmanship, and maintained compliance with City standards. Their demonstrated reliability reduces risk to the City and ensures ongoing maintenance needs are met without interruption.
• Avoidance of Additional Transition Costs
Although the competing vendor’s price is slightly lower, switching vendors would incur indirect costs not reflected in the bid price, including staff time for onboarding, coordination, and potential corrective work. These transition costs would likely exceed the $17,220 price difference.
• Project Efficiency
Given that the incumbent vendor is already mobilized and familiar with the project scope, continuing with the existing provider allows work to proceed more efficiently and without delay—supporting timely project completion and minimizing operational impacts to the facility.
Based on these factors, staff concludes that awarding the contract to the current vendor represents the best overall value to the City and is in the community’s best interest.
