PRESENTATIONS

1. CERTIFICATE PRESENTATION – BRANDON GRAY – Mayor Emma Sharif Mayor Sharif was proud to honor Brandon Gray, one of their own who has had a unique journey in the fashion world. After graduating from Cal State Dominguez Hills University Brandon decided to follow his passion and eventually left his position as a Branch Manager and purchased a one-way ticket to Paris. In Paris he was trained by the best and became one of the most sought- after and featured designers in the Hollywood scene. Actors and music artists such as Tyler Perry, Morris Chestnut, Omarion, Jonathan Majors and many more have been seen on the red carpet of every major award show styled by Brandon and his custom gray line. She thanked him for all that he does and will continue to do, paving the way for many that will follow in his footsteps. Because of his dedication and tenacity people around the world will know that Compton is more than what is often displayed as stereotypes. Compton represents excellence, game changers, the best and the brightest.

Mayor Sharif asked the Council to join her on the floor to honor their own Mr. Brandon Gray.

Mayor Sharif presented Mr. Gray with a Certificate of Recognition for his outstanding achievements.

Brandon Gray gave honor to God for being able to stand before them. He thanked the Mayor and Council for making it happen. He was glad his mom and dad as well as his lady Jessica was able to accompany him. He feels this moment feels like a true culmination moment. He sometimes has a hard time celebrating achievements because his mom raised him in a “that’s great, what’s next household”. As many great things has happened in his life he has to make sure he keeps his feet grounded and staying focused on what God has for him. Fashion Design is one of the avenues he is using right now but it’s really for him to show the young Black and brown little boys and girls what they have the capabilities to do outside of sports whatever they would like to do. With God’s guidance and continuing to keep his hands on him he hopes that he continues to make the city and his mother proud and continue striving for greatness and continuing to represent the City of Compton the best way he knows how. Thanks so much for the honor they are greatly appreciated.

Councilmember Duhart announced they had a Fashion Designer to add to the wealth of talent in the great City of Compton.

Councilmember Spicer stated he definitely tip his hat to him for chasing his dreams and making it a priority. Congratulations, he deserves it.

Councilmember Darden congratulated him indicating he is a role model for the younger kids to know that there are no limits on what they want to do, and if they continue to strive for whatever their passion is it will happen. She needs a navy blue, black and gold suit.

Mayor Sharif stated yesterday she had the pleasure of being at his shop seeing him in action and she was really impressed. He’s doing an amazing job congratulations.

PUBLIC COMMENTS ON AGENDA ITEMS AND NON-AGENDA MATTERS
Tanya Lewis from district one indicated he thought the City Treasurer would be there because she wanted him to find out if former second district, Councilmember Galvan was still getting a check

3. 2
because no one up there mentioned if he is continuing to receive a check and have been asking for the past four (4) years. She will continue to ask about the 5.6 million dollars and what the plans are for it. They have one more week and they will not have any meetings in August what is the plan. She’s glad to see Eric sitting there but last week after she mentioned how he wants to do what he wants to do yet he wants respect but doesn’t give the deity respect. He got up and walked out early. She asked his friend if it was in the charter that he could come and go and does as he pleases, leave when he wants, sit in the audience when he wants but no one answered the question.

Hopefully he will give everyone the respect they deserve and stay the entire meeting. “Mayor, I went Line Dancing today at Wilson Park I want to know because I was told that we could not pay Bobby the $2 to dance. Why are we over at Wilson Park and can’t pay the $2 because Compton does not pay her”. Lynwood pays her a salary each month. She has entertainment for the seniors.

She sees improvement on Wilmington, its coming together and she’s proud.

Missy announced she had the opportunity to meet up with Thomas from Valley Vista, and he did a lot of cleaning up as per her request. He cleaned the first district and the canal. She had him go behind AutoZone on Wilmington and Compton. She’s asking all residents to call Valley Vista if they need anything cleaned up. Why is Dollarhide being highjacked by the manager over there.

He has given all of Councilmember Spicer’s nonprofit organizations that do not pay permission to be over there. It is a senior building. Aja Brown took the Senior off and changed it to Community.

They want the Senior back on it because it’s for the Seniors. The nonprofits need to pay to occupy the building. She could never see Councilmember Spicer as a mayor because of his character. She asked the Mayor and City Manager to look into the matter at Dollarhide because the nonprofits need to pay to occupy the building.

Chaundra McClary stated she leases the building at 740 W. Compton Blvd. She was raised in Sunny Cove. She is not only there to open a Child Development Center but to provide early trauma- informed care for the community to detect and address early childhood trauma because it’s needed so that they do not repeat cycles. They could help the children and parents be more productive.

She invested a lot in the property to make it a safe and thought-provoking facility. The state of California came out in November. In December they licensed her to provide childcare in the facility. She has been submitting plans to Building and Safety since October of last year. She has yet to receive even a Certificate of Occupancy to open her doors. She has had an architect and an engineer quit on her because they submitted October, November, February and March. They advised her to seek an attorney because what was happening to her was not going to end. She hired a new project manager and architect. This year alone she has probably submitted her plans at least six times. Every time the architect touches the plans it costs her money, every time she has to provide copies it costs her money. Seven months she has been licensed and hasn’t made a penny.

She needs help to get her doors open.

Adrianna from Makers Hub have been opened for a year. She was there to give a report on the progress. They have three hundred members of which one hundred are from Compton. They loaned out sixteen hundred tools. They saved $270,000 in purchasing tools from the people that borrowed them from them. They currently have twelve hundred tools in stock. When they started, they had eight hundred. They have been donated four hundred tools. They have forty-nine workshops including sewing, DIY classes like plumbing, electrical tiling, sublimation and heat press for garments, cups and caps, flower arrangements classes and woodwork classes. They hosted eight repair clinics, six of them in Compton. They are helping five residents in Compton become entrepreneurs. They have had one hundred present returns on their tools.

Charles Davis pointed out to the City Council that last year he came before them and stated they could reduce the assessment of the citizens on the property tax for retirement by at least ten percent, but it didn’t happen. It looks like they are doing the same this year and hopefully it will be changed.

In the budget he doesn’t blame the Council, whoever puts the budget together and puts the report together is who he looks at. In the budget it shows estimated revenue of $42,364,549. It shows expenditures on page five of the proposed budget for retirement tax dealing with medical and retirement for all employees and those that have already retired. Expenditure is $27,499,880.00, the difference is $14,864,000. They can reduce by 10% and still have enough to pay for anticipated raises, anticipated new hires plus there is $100,000.000 in the bank. The City Treasurer put out something last week regarding how much money he has made on interest. They cannot use the retirement tax for anything but that. He was City Clerk for over thirty years, therefore he knows what he’s talking about, and he helped put it together. Please reduce the tax by at least 10% and bring the Controller in and ask why she continues to do this to them. 3 Maria Villareal Compton Latino Chamber of Commerce was concerned about the process of licensing. The process is ridiculous and over the years it’s getting worse. They are now requesting that business owners provide a Certificate for Storm Water Solution Control. She is not aware of what this is and asked the City Manager to provide her with information regarding it. District one in the area where she reported the trash the grass has grown taller than her. She thanked Councilmember Darden for taking the initiative to help in the business. She thanked those that helped each other. Every district should have knowledge of business and helping businesses.

Kinsey Jones thanked everyone and noted he’s been out of town. He still has concerns regarding Temple and Caldwell. It’s very embarrassing to drive down Long Beach Blvd. and see all the fence torn up from one end to the other. Does Compton have a restaurant? He would like to go to a sports bar in Compton, but they don’t have any. Him and his friends go to Lakewood and Carson to eat.

The lot has been empty for a while and the grass is dead. When are they going to do something for Compton where people can come to Compton and spend money.

Mayor Sharif asked the City Manager to look into when they could get the fence repaired.

Barry Jackson stated he is relatively new to the area. He is from St. Louis, Missouri but Compton has a great reputation and he’s happy to be there. He stated that he was homeless and often sleeps on City Hall porch. He recited what seemed to be a poem about the city. He said he is the solution and not the problem.

Mark Smith yielded his time in a moment of silence, moment of commemoration and celebration for Councilmember Jonathan Bower’s mom, Ms. Martha Bowers. The homegoing service was today. He wanted to take peace with her for a well lived time.

Fidel Marquez from district one addressed the City Manager on item #3 indicating if the Controller could elaborate on thirty-five million and it was consistent over the years. He wanted to know how that was being that they are being reassessed every year and the residents are still due a Public Hearing according to the Brown Act. If they could start it so that the residents are well aware of the increase and what they could plan on paying for taxes in December so that when they receive a call from their escrow company, it’s not a surprise. On item #4 they have a sewer master plan. He is still waiting on the issue with the sewer on his street. He has not heard back from Marcus or anyone. If he can get a report back it has been quite a while. The vacant Rite Aid has become a homeless encampment with trash, and it makes no sense that residents on his street have received tickets for having overgrown flower beds, yet the Rite Aid property looks a mess.

If residents are held responsible owners of lots should be held responsible for maintaining their lots as well. His trash pick-up day is Friday, and he anticipates his trash being picked up on Friday.

He understands they are having a problem back east, but they are under contract with them in California. They received an increase as of July 1 st. They need to pick up the trash. If they don’t pick up the trash somebody needs to put out an RFP tonight for a new company. Republic has too many excuses.

Vanessa Cain stated that, after hearing a resident describe repeated delays and costs caused by Building and Safety not responding, she believes Victor should be removed. She said the city should conduct a broad review of employees who are not doing their jobs and should not wait on the union to take action. She also called for the removal of Spraggs, alleging that Spraggs, along with Councilmember Spicer of the Second District, has monopolized Wilson Park and Dollarhide.

She described the situation as collusion and corruption. Building and Safety is problematic in many cities but argued that officials are aware of what Victor is doing and should act. She also criticized nepotism and the lack of background checks, saying the city cannot continue to tolerate misconduct. She questioned why voters keep re-electing officials she considers unfit for office.

She further alleged that 216 District One votes were from Pasadena during the last election.

Although the City Clerk was not present, she said she would later address where voting booths should be located, adding that only four are needed. She concluded by saying corruption in Compton is excessive.

Benjamin Holyfield was there to talk about Wilmington. They can do good with the streets. They can do good in the city, but they have to do it. He has been in the community a long time and one of the things he started years ago was safe, clean and friendly. He would like the leadership to emphasize that more. He thanked them for the opportunity to speak. 4 Dawn Benton from Republic Services reported that they would like to make it perfectly clear that the current work stoppage that impacts Compton is not the result of any local labor dispute or operational issue within their Compton Business Unit. The disruption in service stems solely from Republic Services local Teamsters employees that choose not to cross the picket line. They want to remain in solidarity with Teamsters members involved in unrelated labor actions in Boston.

Republic Services maintains a current and valid contract with the local Teamsters in Compton.

There are no pending disputes, demands or negotiations between Compton and the Teamsters. This work stoppage is about a strike in Boston and their employees’ refusal to cross the picket lines created by the Teamsters from Boston. They do not have the authority or ability to compel employees to return to work under the circumstances, as it is a union-initiated action beyond the scope of local operations. They do not know when the Teamster Union plans to return to work.

This prolonged work stoppage prioritizing Boston over the needs of local Compton community is highly unusual and difficult to rationalize. They provide daily updates to city management. They appreciate the patience and understanding of the city and community during these challenges.

Councilmember Darden responded, stating that it was not sufficient time because there are eight-six pages in the proposal.

Mayor Sharif asked Councilmember Darden would that be sufficient.

Councilmember Darden replied, absolutely.

Councilmember Darden asked City Manager Hopkins when they would bring item #3 back.

City Manager Hopkins stated it would probably be after the break because they want to incorporate it with the tax bill explanation and bring in the Tax Assessor to give additional information.

REPORT OUT OF CLOSED SESSION
Mayor Sharif reported that information was received and gathered.

PUBLIC COMMENTS ON AGENDA ITEMS AND NON-AGENDA MATTERS
Luis Hernandez - Mr. Hernandez expressed ongoing concerns about public safety and staffing within the Fire Department. He previously addressed the Council in 2023 regarding the shortage of paramedics, excessive workloads, and the resulting impacts on personnel, including family strain, higher divorce and PTSD claims, and cancelled vacations. He noted these issues also increase liability for the City through slower response times, errors in medical treatment, and greater reliance on mutual aid.

He further reported that, due to staffing shortages, a paramedic unit had to be shut down the previous weekend, leaving only three paramedic engines available.

Mr. Hernandez also described his experience during the June 7, 2025 protest near Dominguez High School. He assumed command on scene, coordinated with County Fire and the Sheriff’s Department, and noted communication challenges within his department during the incident.

4. 2
Albert De La Mora – Mr. Albert Mora, a resident commended the City for the community banners honoring youth but noted the lack of information on the City’s website about how to participate or nominate individuals. He also raised concerns about abandoned vehicles and trash bins being overlooked by parking and code enforcement, urging the City to address small issues consistently to improve overall community conditions.

Floyd Smith - Mr. Smith raised concerns about unsafe development and lack of transparency regarding the sale and development of 105 East Brooks Grant, part of Tract 4828. He reported that in February 2024, a property was sold by the Successor Agency and a medical facility was constructed only 65 feet from an active pipeline, creating significant safety risks.

He noted the facility remains unopened due to failing a backflow assessment and lacking legal access to potable water, which is restricted to Tract 4828 residents. Mr. Smith stated that the property sale occurred without a Successor Agency resolution and failed to address the Water Trust’s interests, undermining public trust and fiduciary responsibility.

He urged the City to hold a public hearing to investigate the lack of oversight, transparency issues, and infrastructure risks, and to take urgent action to protect public safety and community trust.

Louise Jones – Madame Mayor and Council, I am a 40-year resident and homeowner in Council District 2. I am here to address the ongoing illegal dumping in our neighborhood.

My son and I regularly document the issue, and the recent photos we posted show debris so severe that it’s difficult to access the alley, even for trash trucks.

We need solutions such as working cameras, posted signage, and increased community vigilance. There are elderly homeowners in the area who are particularly affected. I am willing to assist in any initiatives to engage residents and help resolve this problem. We hope the Council will prioritize improving our neighborhood.

Omar Spry - Mr. Spry, a resident of 138th Street, stated he continues to receive code enforcement notices for illegal birds, though his birds are homing racers permitted under state law. He explained they are distinct from fowl such as chickens or ducks and requested that code enforcement stop issuing incorrect citations.

Maria Villareal - Ms. Villareal, addressed the recent Supreme Court decision and its impact on immigrant and minority families. She emphasized the Chamber’s commitment to dignity, unity, opportunity, and safety for all residents. She urged the Council and community leaders to reaffirm their commitment to inclusion, equity, and justice, ensuring Compton remains a city where every resident is valued and supported.

Patricia Gonzalez - Ms. Gonzalez, expressed solidarity with families facing fear and uncertainty following recent events. She compared current challenges to past injustices against Black and Latino communities, emphasizing the vital contributions of immigrant labor, businesses, and culture to the nation. She urged the community to stand united in faith, resilience, and mutual support, and called for continued action toward dignity, justice, and hope.

Kareemah Bradford - Ms. Kareemah commented on Item 6, urging greater transparency in salary-setting resolutions. He stated that resolutions should clearly list salary ranges, adjustments, and changes, rather than requiring residents to reference other documents.

She cited Municipal Code sections 535–537 and suggested practices such as preparing agendas a week in advance, allowing public comments online, and using clear sample resolution formats to ensure clarity and accountability. 3 Tanya Lewis – Ms. Lewis, a resident of the First District, requested an update from the Treasurer regarding the status of $5.6 million, noting eight months have passed without information. She thanked the City for recent cleanup efforts on El Segundo and Central but expressed concern that the work was incomplete, with no soil, flowers, or weed removal. She also questioned the status of the youth hiring program, stating she had not observed local students working over the summer. Finally, she defended the City Manager, noting he corrected an earlier error and has worked to improve the City, and urged Lynn to move past personal conflicts and focus on the City’s progress.

Lynn Boone – Lynn Boone City of Compton, and I'm serving the City Attorney a letter today. It's a demand for an investigation. I bring before you a demand by the public that you investigate certain actions which are critical to the constitutional rights of the individuals within our City and governing process. I bring about a question related to the liability of the City Council Member Andre Spicer and his appointment to that seat. Two questions immediately come up. Votes were removed which is a violation of the voting rights act of California and the United States. Two, in the process of Appointing the new member of the Council, the process the City, excuse me, the council violated the process of the City Charter. It was totally ignored. These are very serious and dangerous violations of our constitution. The reason I'm asking you to investigate is because we know that the voters of the City have asked that the laws be changed and the City Attorney be appointed by the City Manager through the City Council.

We believe that this may be an issue as was stated in an election of the county prosecutor last fall that the City of Compton is a Chartered City. The State is therefore dependent upon the City to police itself as prosecutor because the City has an elected City Attorney.

As you know, the proposition before the voters gave a specific date for when the new process would begin and an old process when it would conclude. Under the statutory change, the effective date of the new statute is 2026, which means that you remain Elected City Attorney for the City and that means this action is extremely critical to the City to the rights of the voters and the rights of the citizens. It is imperative we demand that you take immediate action into investigating this process and continue to do so until effective day. And my allegations are addressed. Mr. City Attorney, if for whatever reason you cannot conduct this investigation, please give it to me in writing because we do have agencies that are ready and willing to come into the City. The last thing I want to say, I don't hate the City Manager, but I do dislike him as what he's doing for the City and what he's not doing for the City. But if someone would listen, they would know. I said it was the Director of the Grants Department that lied, you know. So I just say some people get up here and say things and they're not listening. And I'm asking the City Clerk to be sure that this is verbatim in the minutes. I'm asking this ahead of time because you already have that listed.

Fidel Marquez – Mr. Marquez addressed the City Council expressing concern about public safety and city management. He thanked the Battalion Chief for informing residents about risks to taxpayers and criticized perceived neglect by city leadership. Mr. Marquez highlighted issues with the county assessment role, questioning the accuracy of documentation leading to higher taxes and emphasizing the financial burden on residents.

He also raised concerns about traffic congestion, noting that emergency vehicles may be impeded, and suggested solutions such as painting curbs, building parking structures, and better managing vacant properties to improve safety and accessibility.

Vanessa Cain – Ms. Cain addressed the City Council regarding several community concerns. She highlighted the need to clean up trash and dead grass behind the shopping center near the transportation center and emphasized the importance of parents disciplining youth responsible for vandalism and criminal activity. She noted recurring robberies at a local Arco station and stressed accountability to prevent further incidents.

Ms. Cain also commented on the city’s handling of homelessness, suggesting that resources and oversight of nonprofit agencies be reevaluated to more effectively address the issue.
4 Mayor Sharif - Addressed the Community regarding a recent Supreme Court ruling allowing immigration agents to resume patrols targeting Latino communities in Los Angeles. She emphasized that no one in Compton or the country should be singled out based on heritage or skin color and reaffirmed the city’s commitment to diversity, inclusion, and immigrant contributions. The Mayor pledged to continue advocating for resources, protection, and respect for all residents and encouraged the community to stand united against discriminatory practices.

City Manager Hopkins - Addressed public comments regarding safety and city maintenance. He noted that concerns about the El Segundo intersection have been addressed and explained that citywide theft of backflow devices and copper has negatively impacted irrigation and street lighting, with plans to transition some systems to solar. He also explained that summer employment programs were disrupted due to changes in federal grants. City Manager Hopkins clarified that the City Attorney is appointed by the City Council, not the City Manager, and announced that Assessor Jeff Prang will present information to the Council on the fifth Tuesday of the month with public notice. He then yielded to Fire Chief Simpson for additional comments.

Fire Chief Simpson - Addressed public concerns about emergency response and staffing. He assured the public that the Compton Fire Department is fully operational and responding to all incidents. Chief Simpson acknowledged a longstanding shortage of paramedics, noting that while 14 new firefighters have been hired in the past year, certified paramedics are difficult to recruit. To address gaps, the department uses paramedic engines and smaller squads to maintain service levels, ensuring citizens see consistent response. He emphasized that any communication failures regarding staffing shortages will be addressed and apologized for any lack of public notification.

Mr. Miller - Emphasized concerns about public safety. He recounted a recent incident where youth ran through neighborhood yards to evade police, and noted frequent illegal fireworks, citing another city’s example of imposing steep fines as a possible model. He expressed frustration that the Sheriff’s Department does not adequately respond to calls regarding street takeovers in his area (Grandee and Stockwell).

He urged the Council to prioritize public safety enforcement to protect residents, reduce dangerous activities, and prepare the city for upcoming opportunities like the Olympics.

Mr. Miller also mentioned rising tax burdens on residents, which he feels are worsened by insufficient accountability and lack of revenue solutions.

CITY TREASURER REPORTS

2. POWERPOINT PRESENTATION: FY25 FOURTH QUARTER INVESTMENT REPORT (Receive and File) - City Treasurer (Brandon Mims) PRIORITY,

PUBLIC SAFETY, AND TRANSPARENCY
Summary of the City Treasurer's Fourth Quarter Report (Fiscal Year 2025) The City Treasurer presented the Fourth Quarter Investment Report for Fiscal Year 2025, highlighting the city's investment strategy, portfolio performance, and increased investment earnings.

Key Highlights:
The Treasurer thanked the staff, the City's investment advisor (Chandler Asset Management), and investment partners for their assistance in preparing the report.
The city's investment strategy continues to focus on three priorities:
oLiquidity (having cash readily available for city operations) oStability (protecting public funds)
oYield (earning investment income)
During FY 2025, the city also began investing in short-term, highly rated certificates of deposit (CDs) to take advantage of higher interest rates.

Portfolio Performance:
The investment portfolio earned an average 3.14% weighted yield during FY 2025.
Although the portfolio performed well for its intended purpose, it did not match the LAIF or one-year U.S. Treasury benchmarks.
The Treasurer explained that this is intentional because the city maintains approximately $109 million in highly liquid, low-yield accounts to ensure sufficient cash is available for major expenditures, such as a recent $71 million payment.

Potential for Higher Earnings:
If the city could reduce the amount of cash held for operational needs and invest more funds for longer periods:
oEarnings could increase by approximately $4.2 million if performance matched the LAIF benchmark.
oEarnings could increase by approximately $5.46 million if performance matched the one-year Treasury benchmark.
However, doing so would reduce the city's immediate access to cash, so a balance between liquidity and higher returns is necessary.

Interest Earnings Increased:
The Treasurer reported that investment earnings increased by approximately 30% compared to the previous fiscal year.
The increase was attributed to:
oHigher interest rates.
oImproved cash management that allowed more operational funds to be invested rather than sitting in non-interest-bearing accounts. Charts demonstrated that as more cash was invested, even at conservative rates, total investment income increased significantly. 6 Council Discussion
Council members discussed how the additional investment earnings might be used. One council member suggested dedicating some of the increased investment income to street repairs and infrastructure improvements. The Treasurer agreed that additional funding for infrastructure would be beneficial but clarified that the Treasurer's Office is responsible for managing investments—not deciding how investment earnings are spent. Any allocation of funds would require action by the City Council and City Manager. Another council member praised the Treasurer's performance, noting that the city generated approximately $10 million in investment income, compared with significantly lower returns in previous years. The council member commended the Treasurer for substantially improving the city's investment earnings while maintaining financial stability and liquidity.

Overall Takeaway
The report concluded that the city's investment portfolio remains safe, liquid, and financially sound, with substantially improved earnings in FY 2025. While the city could potentially earn millions more by investing more aggressively, the Treasurer emphasized that maintaining adequate cash reserves is essential to meet operational obligations and protect the city's financial flexibility. The discussion also highlighted the opportunity for the City Council to consider using a portion of the increased investment income to fund future infrastructure and other community priorities.

On motion by Councilmember Darden, seconded by Councilmember Duhart, to receive and file report by the following vote on roll call:

AYES: Council Members – Duhart, Spicer, Bowers, Darden, Mayor Sharif NOES: Council Members – None
ABSENT: Council Members – None

CITY FIRE DEPARTMENT

3. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A THREE (3) YEAR

AGREEMENT WITH UCLA CENTER FOR PREHOSPITAL CARE TO

PROVIDE NURSE EDUCATOR SERVICES FOR THE COMPTON FIRE
DEPARTMENT AND ESTABLISH A PURCHASE ORDER ($70,560.00)
Councilman Bowers asked whether steps are being taken to hire additional firefighters and paramedics, including the possibility of lateral hires, to address staffing shortages.

Fire Chief Simpson acknowledged that paramedic staffing remains an ongoing concern but explained there is no simple solution. When paramedic units are tied up at hospitals, dispatch reallocates personnel and relies on mutual aid agreements with Los Angeles County and neighboring cities to ensure emergency coverage. Compton also provides the same assistance to surrounding jurisdictions when needed.

Regarding lateral hiring, Chief Simpson explained that Compton does not have dedicated paramedic positions—only firefighter positions with paramedic assignments. Because of this structure, the City cannot simply laterally hire paramedics into those assignments without following the appropriate hiring process. The Fire Department is working with Human Resources to explore options while ensuring compliance with City hiring policies and avoiding potential union grievances.

Chief Simpson also reported that the department is investing in developing its current workforce. Several firefighters have completed the first phase of testing and will continue through a second pre-test. Those who qualify will attend paramedic school beginning in January.
7 The discussion occurred alongside Council consideration of an agreement with UCLA Center for Prehospital Care to provide nurse educator services for the Fire Department's EMTs and paramedics, supporting ongoing training and professional development.

Overall, the Fire Chief emphasized that the City is actively addressing paramedic staffing through training, careful coordination with HR, and regional partnerships, while recognizing the recruitment and staffing challenges.

4. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON

ADOPTING THE ANNUAL APPROPRIATION (GANN) LIMIT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025-2026
City Manager Hopkins presented the Annual GANN Appropriations Limit Resolution, explaining that the GANN Limits the amount of tax revenue local governments may appropriate each year under the California Constitution. The calculation is based on factors including changes in the City's non-residential assessed valuation and population changes for both the City of Compton and Los Angeles County.

City Manager Hopkins noted that the City previously had to adopt GANN Limits for prior years to restore compliance with state law. For Fiscal Year 2025–26, the City's GANN Appropriations Limit was calculated at $151,500,783, with the City's appropriations remaining $29,457,965 below the maximum allowable limit. As a result, the City is in compliance with the requirements of the California Constitution and state law.

AN OPEN PURCHASE ORDER NOT TO EXCEED $75,000.00
Councilmember Darden asked about the amount of outstanding invoices related to Fiscal Years 2024–25 and 2025–26, expressing concern that vendors should not perform work without an approved purchase order or contract.

Human Resources Director Jones, explained that the item involves a law firm that provides employee relations and investigative services. Due to the sensitive nature of the investigations, delaying the firm's engagement could have exposed the City to additional liability. Although the City intended to establish a contract before the end of the fiscal year, administrative and logistical issues prevented it from being finalized. The proposed Resolution was presented to correct that issue.

Human Resources Director Jones in response to a follow-up question regarding the amount of outstanding invoices, the information was not immediately available but would be provided at a later time. He also confirmed that background check services are handled by a separate vendor.

6. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO AMEND THE FISCAL YEAR 2025- 2026 BUDGET

In section number five, the correct account number is 2000- 840-000-4101.

Council discussion followed regarding the readability of the budget amendment and whether the public could easily understand the proposed changes, including the relationship between the current and proposed positions and associated salary adjustments.

City Manager Hopkins explained that the budget amendment was intended to be considered in conjunction with the salary schedule presented at the previous meeting. It was further explained that the salary schedule had been considered separately and that the budget amendment had been continued as unfinished business to allow the Council additional time for review. The City Manager also clarified that the salary adjustments reflected actions previously approved during labor negotiations.

Councilmember Darden expressed concerns regarding provisions related to positions within the Municipal Law Division and questioned whether certain budget allocations were consistent with the City Charter.

City Manager Hopkins responded that the City Charter authorizes the City Council to retain legal counsel and stated that legal opinions obtained by the City concluded that the proposed actions were consistent with the Charter.

Request for Annual Fuel Funding Allocation – $700,000
Public Works Department – Municipal Fleet Operations
Recommendation
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council approve an annual fuel appropriation of $700,000 to support the operation of the City's Public Works municipal fleet. This funding will ensure uninterrupted delivery of essential public services while accounting for increased fuel consumption, aging fleet conditions, inflationary pressures, and continued geopolitical uncertainty affecting energy markets.

Executive Summary
The Public Works Department operates and maintains a diverse municipal fleet that supports critical services throughout the City, including street maintenance, sewer maintenance, traffic signal operations, street lighting, parks maintenance, emergency response, street sweeping, graffiti abatement, and citywide beautification efforts.

The City's fleet is aging, with the average vehicle and equipment model year ranging from 2008 through 2011, placing the fleet well beyond its expected replacement cycle.

Older vehicles consume more fuel due to reduced engine efficiency, increased idling during repairs and maintenance operations, deteriorating emissions systems, and declining mechanical performance. As a result, fuel consumption has steadily increased despite the Department's efforts to maximize operational efficiency.

To maintain uninterrupted municipal services and provide sufficient flexibility to address future fuel price volatility, staff recommends establishing an annual fuel budget of $700,000.

Fleet Condition
The City's municipal fleet consists primarily of: Heavy duty trucks and Equipment The majority of these vehicles were manufactured between 2008 and 2011, making the average fleet approximately 15 to 18 years old. As fleet vehicles age, fuel efficiency declines.
Higher engine wear Older diesel emission systems
Reduced drivetrain efficiency Higher operating hours
Increased idle time Increased maintenance downtime
Consequently, older vehicles require more fuel to perform the same workload as newer equipment.

Historical 6 Year Funding Analysis
Over the past six fiscal years, the City has appropriated approximately $2.34 million toward fleet maintenance.

Description Amount
Total Fuel Funding (FY2020–FY2026) $2,633,659.94
Total Fuel Expenditures $1,871,470.41
Total Remaining Balance of unused funds $762,189.53
Average Annual Fuel Expenditure $438,943.32
The City's continued investment in maintenance demonstrates its commitment to extending the useful life of the municipal fleet. However, maintenance alone cannot restore the fuel efficiency lost as vehicles age. Even well-maintained equipment experiences increased fuel consumption over time due to mechanical wear and reduced operating efficiency.

Fuel Cost Drivers
Several factors continue to increase the Department's fuel expenditures:

Aging Fleet: Vehicles were manufactured between 2008 and 2011 Expanded Public Works Services: The Department has increased operational activities
Inflation: Fuel prices remain subject to inflationary pressures affecting refining, transportation, labor, and distribution costs.

California Environmental Regulations: California's low-carbon fuel requirements, refinery maintenance schedules, emissions standards, and seasonal fuel blends continue to influence diesel and gasoline prices.

Geopolitical and Market Conditions: Global geopolitical events continue to create uncertainty in fuel markets. International conflicts, trade disruptions, production adjustments by major oil-producing nations, supply chain constraints, and changes in global energy demand have contributed to ongoing price volatility.

Maintaining an adequate fuel reserve protects the City from sudden market increases and reduces the need for emergency budget adjustments during the fiscal year.

Operational Risk
Failure to adequately fund fuel operations may result in:
Reduced street maintenance activities Reduced traffic signal maintenance
Delayed pothole repairs Reduced code enforcement
support
Delayed sewer maintenance Increased service response times Reduced park maintenance Reduced public service levels Delayed emergency response
Fuel is an operational necessity that directly supports every Public Works maintenance program.

Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council approve an annual fuel appropriation of $700,000 for the Public Works Department. Given the age of the City's fleet, increased operational demands, continued inflationary pressures, and uncertainty in domestic and global fuel markets, this funding level is both prudent and necessary to ensure the uninterrupted delivery of essential municipal services.

SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

COMPTON AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER

INTO A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH AND

ESTABLISH A PURCHASE ORDER FOR EMPOWERING REACH

FOUNDATION FOR SUPPORTIVE SERVICES USING HOME-

AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN (HOME-ARP) FUNDS IN THE
AMOUNT OF ($870,446.12)

SUMMARY
Adoption of this resolution will authorize the City Manager to enter into a professional service agreement with and establish a purchase order in the amount of Eight Hundred Seventy Thousand Four Hundred Forty-Six Dollars and Twelve Cents ($870,446.12) for Supportive Services for the qualifying population living in the City of Compton.

BACKGROUND
In 2021, the City of Compton received a Grant Agreement from the U.S.

Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for HOME-ARP funds intended to address the needs of qualifying populations, including individuals and households experiencing homelessness or housing instability. HUD required the City to develop and submit an eligible proposal for approval by May 2023. Failure to do so would have resulted in the City forfeiting its HOME-ARP allocation. In response, the City undertook the required planning and compliance steps to preserve the funding and ensure alignment with HUD HOME-ARP regulations to address the needs of qualifying populations, including individuals and households experiencing homelessness or housing instability.

On October 30, 2025, the City released a Request for Proposals (RFP) for HOME-ARP Supportive Services. The proposal deadline was November 17. The RFP sought qualified nonprofit organizations to deliver supportive services consistent with HUD HOME-ARP regulations, including housing stabilization and related services. The five (5) firms were selected based on their responsiveness, qualifications, costs, work experience and professional expertise. The following five (5) proposal are as follow:

Firm Amount Service Proposed
Volunteers of America $870,446 Supportive Services
New Beginnings $691,592 Supportive Services
Fair Housing Foundation $870,444.12 Supportive Services REACH Foundation $870,444 Supportive Services
HOPICS $600,000 Supportive Services
Proposals were reviewed by City evaluation panel using criteria outlined in the RFP, including:
Program design and service delivery approach
Organizational capacity and experience
Financial management and compliance readiness
Alignment with HOME-ARP eligible activities

SELECTION PROCESS
The review committee determined that the proposal submitted by Empowering R.E.A.C.H. Foundation was complete and responsive to the RFP and demonstrated the organizational capacity to deliver eligible supportive services for the 24-month period. Although the nonprofit organization is relatively new, its leadership team brings more than 20 years of combined experience in the housing and healthcare industries. In addition, the organization’s leadership has operated a for-profit business in South Los Angeles for more than 20 years, demonstrating deep roots, established relationships, and a long-standing commitment to serving underserved communities.

The organization’s multidisciplinary service model includes a Nurse Practitioner who can provide mental health assessments, treatment planning, and medical management, as appropriate. The organization also demonstrated strong connections to housing resources, workforce development opportunities, and social services, with staff trained in the delivery and coordination of wraparound services. This integrated approach will allow participants to receive individualized support that addresses immediate needs while promoting housing stability, self- sufficiency, and long-term well-being.

A significant factor in the committee’s evaluation was the organization’s demonstrated commitment to ensuring the long-term sustainability of services beyond the HOME-ARP funding period. Since applying for HOME-ARP funding, the organization’s owners have purchased a building within the City, further demonstrating a long-term investment in the community and the capacity to maintain a local presence and continue providing services beyond the grant term.

Nothing contained in this Agreement will create any contractual relationship between any sub-consultant of Consultant and City. Consultant will be responsible for payment of sub-consultants.

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 Consultant’s indemnification of the City, Consultant shall obtain and maintain, at its cost and expense, for the duration of the Agreement and any and all amendments hereto, 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 Consultant or Consultant’s agents, representatives, employees or sub-consultants. 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 Consultant to procure or maintain insurance shall constitute a material breach upon which the City may immediately terminate this Agreement.

All insurance required hereunder shall be primary with respect to any insurance maintained by the City.

Coverages and Limits. Consultant 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. These minimum amounts of coverage will not constitute any limitations or cap on Consultant's indemnification obligations under this Agreement. City, its officers, agents, volunteers and employees make no representation that the limits of the insurance specified to be carried by Consultant pursuant to this Agreement are adequate to protect Consultant. The coverage will contain no special limitations on the scope of its protection to the below-indicated insureds except for Workers Compensation Professional Services Agreement – The Empowering R.E.A.C.H Foundation Supportive Services
Grants Department

and errors and omissions insurance. Consultant will obtain occurrence coverage, excluding Professional Liability, which will be written as claims-made coverage. If Consultant believes that any required insurance coverage is inadequate, Consultant will obtain such additional insurance coverage, as Consultant deems adequate, at Consultant's sole expense.

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.

11.2 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. Workers' Compensation and Employer's Liability insurance will not be required if Consultant has no employees and provides, to City's satisfaction, a declaration stating this.

11.3 Professional Liability. Errors and omissions liability appropriate to Consultant’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, Consultant 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 Consultant. 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, Consultant 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.

12. Permits and Licenses.Consultant, at its own expense, during the term of this Agreement, shall obtain and maintain all appropriate business and professional permits, licenses and certificates that may be required in connection with the performance of services by the Consultant. Upon execution of this Agreement, the Consultant shall show evidence of a business license permit in conformance with Section 9-1.2 of the Compton Municipal Code.

13. Maintenance of Records. Consultant will maintain complete and accurate records with respect to costs incurred under this Agreement. All records will be clearly identifiable.

Consultant will allow inspection of all work, data, documents, proceedings, and activities related to the Agreement for a period of three (3) years, or longer if required by law, from the date of final payment under this Agreement.

14. Warranties.Consultant represents and warrants (i) that Consultant has no obligations, legal or otherwise, inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or with Consultant’s undertaking this relationship with City, (ii) that the performance of the services called for by this Agreement do not and will not violate any applicable law, rule or regulation or any proprietary or other right of any third party, (iii) that Consultant will not use in the performance of his responsibilities under this Agreement any confidential information or trade secrets of any other person or entity and (iv) that Consultant has not knowingly entered into or will enter into any agreement (whether oral or written) in conflict with this Agreement.

15. General Compliance with Laws.

SPECIAL COUNSEL
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON

AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT AND ESTABLISH A
PURCHASE ORDER WITH MRS ENVIRONMENTAL, INC. FOR
PIPELINE FRANCHISE PROGRAM REVIEW ($30,810)

SUMMARY
This report provides an overview of the City’s existing pipeline franchise regulatory framework prepared by City staff. The City’s current regulations were last comprehensively updated several decades ago and do not reflect modern standards for oversight, franchise fees, cost recovery, and enforcement used by other California municipalities.

Staff recommends approval of a Professional Services Agreement with MRS Environmental, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $30,810 to review the City’s pipeline franchise program. The review will include an evaluation of existing franchise agreements, franchise administration practices, franchise fee methodologies, and pipeline facility information. MRS Environmental will prepare a report containing findings and recommendations for City Council consideration.

BACKGROUND
On June 26, 2026, the City Council directed staff and Special Counsel to review the City’s pipeline franchise program and identify opportunities for modernization and improved administration.

Preliminary review indicates the City’s pipeline franchise program has not been comprehensively evaluated in many years and that existing franchise agreements contain varying fee structures and operational requirements. Additional technical analysis is needed to verify franchise records, evaluate current practices, compare programs used by other jurisdictions, and identify potential improvements.

8.8.8.8. Staff Report – MRS Environmental, Inc. for Pipeline Franchise Program Review July 21, 2026, Page 2 of 4
MRS Environmental has experience assisting California jurisdictions with pipeline franchise studies, fee evaluations, and ordinance development. Under the proposed agreement, MRS Environmental will:
Review existing pipeline franchise provisions and agreements; Evaluate franchise administration practices and fee structures; Review franchise GIS and facility records;
Compare programs used by other jurisdictions; and
Prepare findings and recommendations for City Council consideration.

City’s Current Pipeline Franchise Regulatory Framework
The City's pipeline franchise regulations are currently limited to the general franchise provisions contained in Article XV of the City Charter and Chapter 2-26 of the Municipal Code. Although these provisions establish the basic legal framework for granting franchises, including procedures for public review, approvals, and certain franchisee responsibilities, they have not been comprehensively updated in many years to reflect current industry standards, evolving public safety expectations, or modern franchise management practices. As a result, the City does not have standardized requirements governing insurance and risk management, compliance reporting, or franchise fees among its pipeline franchisees. Instead, existing franchise agreements contain varying operational requirements and fee structures that have developed over time without a consistent regulatory framework.

The lack of uniform standards is reflected in the City's existing franchise agreements, which employ significantly different fee methodologies. For example, one non-public utility franchisee pays a franchise fee equal to two percent (2%) of its gross annual receipts for use of the public right-of-way, while another pays $0.352 per lineal foot of 6-inch pipeline.

Other agreements calculate annual fees based on pipeline diameter, with rates ranging from $0.229 per lineal foot for 4-inch pipeline to $1.549 per lineal foot for 12-inch pipeline.

In addition, at least one franchise agreement requires a flat annual payment of $15,523.16, a rate that has remained unchanged for years. The City's experience with a pipeline franchise that expired years ago, but under which the pipeline has continued operating and franchise payments have continued under the expired agreement, further illustrates the practical and legal challenges of administering pipeline franchises under an outdated regulatory structure.

The absence of comprehensive and current regulatory standards limits the City's ability to administer pipeline franchises consistently, monitor franchisee compliance, recover the costs associated with franchise oversight, and ensure that franchise fees are structured to maximize the financial benefits available to the City under applicable law. Modernizing the Pipeline Franchise Ordinance would establish clear and consistent requirements for all franchisees, strengthen accountability and public safety protections, improve regulatory oversight, and provide a more transparent, equitable, and effective framework for managing pipeline infrastructure within the public right-of-way.

Staff Report – MRS Environmental, Inc. for Pipeline Franchise Program Review July 21, 2026, Page 3 of 4
Pipeline Franchise Regulations in Other Cities
Many California cities have modernized their pipeline franchise regulations to reflect current industry standards, strengthen public safety protections, and improve franchise administration. Compared to the City's existing regulatory framework, these ordinances typically include standardized insurance, bonding, and indemnification requirements; enhanced reporting and compliance obligations; updated franchise fee structures and cost recovery provisions; stronger enforcement mechanisms; GIS mapping and facility location requirements; and clearer standards governing pipeline maintenance, abandonment, and operational safety.

These modernized regulations also provide greater consistency in franchise administration, improve the ability to monitor compliance and recover administrative and enforcement costs, and ensure that compensation for the use of public rights-of-way is fair, transparent, and aligned with current municipal best practices. Adopting similar provisions would provide the City with a more comprehensive and effective framework for managing pipeline franchises while protecting the public health, safety, and welfare.

Other Cities Franchise Fees between September 2023 to Present Day Comparable California municipalities have modernized their pipeline franchise fee structures by adopting standardized methodologies that more accurately reflect the value of occupying the public right-of-way and the costs of franchise administration. For public utility pipeline operators, these municipalities commonly assess annual franchise fees based on pipeline diameter and linear footage, with rates ranging from approximately $0.088 to $0.660 per lineal foot, subject to annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustments. Other jurisdictions assess public utility franchise fees based on a percentage of gross annual receipts, typically 2%, consistent with applicable law.

For non-public utility pipeline operators, many jurisdictions have adopted franchise fee structures that include initial franchise application or granting fees, annual occupancy fees, construction and relocation charges, and inflation-based adjustments. Current annual occupancy fees adopted by comparable jurisdictions generally range from approximately $1.62 to $4.47 per cubic foot or equivalent linear-foot methodology, depending on the jurisdiction's fee structure. These ordinances also commonly include provisions authorizing recovery of the City's administrative, engineering, inspection, and enforcement costs.

Compared to these modern approaches, the City's existing pipeline franchise fee structure has not been comprehensively reviewed or updated in many years and may no longer reflect current market conditions or the value of the private use of public rights-of- way. Updating the City's franchise fee provisions would establish a more transparent, consistent, and equitable framework while ensuring the City receives appropriate compensation and has adequate resources to administer, monitor, and enforce pipeline franchise agreements.

STATEMENT OF ISSUE

2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the Professional Services Agreement and any related documents necessary to implement the agreement.

3. Establish a purchase order in the amount of $30,810 for professional services associated with the study.

4. Direct staff to return to the City Council with the consultant’s findings and recommendations upon completion of the study.

City reserves the right to inspect complete, certified copies of and endorsement to all required insurance policies at any time. Any failure to comply with the reporting or other provisions of the policies including breaches or warranties shall not affect coverage provided to City.

5.3 Indemnification. To the full extent permitted by law, Consultant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the City and its officers, employees, and agents, and each of them (“Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all actions, claims, proceedings, damages to persons or property, liabilities, losses, costs, fees (including attorneys’ fees), expenses, penalties, obligations, errors, omissions or forfeitures, whether actual or threatened (herein “claims or liabilities”), that may be asserted or claimed by any person, firm or entity arising out of or in connection with: (i) the negligent performance of the work, services, operations or activities provided herein of Consultant, its officers, directors, employees, agents, subcontractors, invitees, or any individual or entity for which Consultant is legally liable (“indemnitors”); (ii) Consultant’s or indemnitors’ reckless or willful misconduct; (iii) Consultant’s or indemnitors’ negligent performance of or failure to perform any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Agreement; or (iv) Consultant’s or indemnitors’ violation or alleged violation of applicable law. However, the obligations set forth in the preceding sentence shall not extend to claims or liabilities occurring as a result of City’s sole negligence or willful acts or omissions.

7.2 Disputes; Default. In the event that Consultant is in default under the terms of this Agreement, the City shall not have any obligation or duty to continue compensating Consultant for any work performed after the date of default. Instead, the City may give notice to Consultant of the default and the reasons for the default. The notice shall include the timeframe in which Consultant may cure the default. This timeframe is presumptively thirty (30) days, but may be extended, if circumstances warrant. During the period of time that Consultant is in default, the City shall hold all invoices and shall, when the default is cured, proceed with payment on the invoices. If Consultant does not cure the default, the City may take necessary steps to terminate this Agreement under this Article.

7.3 Legal Action.

Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, Consultant shall file a statutory claim pursuant to Government Code Sections 905 et. seq. and 910 et. seq., in order to pursue any legal action under this Agreement.

Except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative and the exercise by either party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other party.

7.4 Termination Prior to Expiration of Term. This Section shall govern any termination of this Contract except as specifically provided in the following Section for termination for cause. The City reserves the right to terminate this Contract at any time, with or without cause, upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Consultant, except that where termination is due to the fault of the Consultant, the period of notice may be such shorter time as may be determined by the Contract Officer. In addition, Consultant may terminate this Agreement if and only if all of the following criteria are met: (i) City is in default under the terms of this Agreement; (ii) Consultant has given City 30 days’ written notice (or longer, if circumstances warrant) of the default and the reasons for the default; and (iii) City has failed to cure the default within said cure period.

termination, the Consultant shall be entitled to compensation only for the reasonable value of the work product actually produced hereunder, but not exceeding the compensation provided therefore in the Schedule of Compensation Exhibit “C”. In the event of City’s termination without cause pursuant to this Section, the City need not provide the Consultant with the opportunity to cure pursuant to Section 7.2.

7.5 Termination for Default of Consultant. If termination is due to the failure of the Consultant to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, City may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 7.2, take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise, and the Consultant shall be liable to the extent that the total cost for completion of the services required hereunder exceeds the compensation herein stipulated (provided that the City shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate such damages), and City may withhold any payments to the Consultant for the purpose of set-off or partial payment of the amounts owed by City therefor.

SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO AMEND THE 2026-2027

FISCAL YEAR BUDGET, ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT, AND
ESTABLISH A PURCHASE ORDER TO JOHNSON CONTROL, INC. FOR

THE REPLACEMENT OF THE BAC COOLING TOWER LOCATED AT
COMPTON CITY HALL IN THE AMOUNT OF ($524,177.50)

SUMMARY
Adoption of this resolution will authorize the City Manager to amend the General Services Departmental Budget for 2026-2027, enter into an agreement and establish a purchase order for Johnson Controls, Inc. for the replacement of the Baltimore Aircoil Company (BAC) cooling tower located at Compton City Hall in an amount of FOUR HUNDRED

SEVENTY-SIX THOUSAND, FIVE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS AND ZERO CENTS ($476,525.00) and authorize a ten percent (10%) contingency in the amount of

FORTY-SEVEN THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED FIFTY-TWO DOLLARS AND FIFTY CENTS ($47,652.50).

BACKGROUND
The cooling tower is a critical component of the City’s HVAC infrastructure, responsible for dissipating heat generated by the chiller system. The existing cooling tower has experienced significant deterioration due to age, corrosion, and ongoing mechanical issues, resulting in reduced efficiency and increasing maintenance costs.

On April 28, 2026, the Mayor and City Council approved Resolution No. 26,396 to repair Chiller 1 and Chiller 2. During the repair work, Johnson Controls technicians conducted inspections and identified structural and operational deficiencies with the cooling tower.

Failure of the cooling tower would negatively impact the recent repairs completed on both chillers. In addition, climate control at City Hall would be compromised, leading to elevated indoor temperatures.

STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
Johnson Controls, Inc., the City’s existing HVAC maintenance provider, assessed the cooling tower on July 9, 2026, and subsequently provided a proposal on July 13, 2026.

Replacing the cooling tower will restore reliable HVAC operations, maintain appropriate indoor temperatures, and reduce long-term maintenance issues.

Johnson Control Purchase Order
July 21, 2026, Page 2 of 2
2 After evaluating the equipment’s condition, staff determined that immediate replacement is necessary to prevent further deterioration and disruption to City Hall operations.

Staff obtained a proposal in the amount of FOUR HUNDRED SEVENTY-SIX

THOUSAND, FIVE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS AND ZERO CENTS ($476,525.00) to complete the necessary repairs and replacement of the cooling tower.

In addition, staff is requesting ten percent (10%) contingency in the amount of FORTY-

SEVEN THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED FIFTY-TWO DOLLARS AND FIFTY CENTS ($47,652.50) to effectively manage the project and address any unforeseen conditions that may arise during construction.

The total cost of the repair exceeds the established purchasing authority; therefore, City Council approval is required to proceed. Furthermore, Johnson Controls is a sole-source vendor, as they manufacture the HVAC control system that serves the City Hall facility.

FISCAL IMPACT
That funds for this expenditure in the amount of FIVE HUNDRED TWENTY-FOUR THOUSAND, ONE HUNDRED SEVENTY-SEVEN DOLLARS AND FIFTY CENTS ($524,177.50) are available in the General Services Department Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Budget in account number 1004-600- 000-4266.

Buyer is hereby notified of Seller’s express rejection of any terms inconsistent with these Standard Terms and Conditions or to any other terms proposed by Buyer in accepting Seller’s Quotation. Neither Seller's subsequent lack of objection to any such terms, nor the delivery of the products or services, shall constitute an agreement by Seller to any such terms. (2) TERMINATION OR MODIFICATION. If either party materially breaches this agreement, the other party may notify the breaching party in writing, setting out the breach, and the breaching party will have 60 days following such notice to remedy the breach.

Buyer agrees to pay for the applicable prevailing wage rates. Buyer shall provide financial information requested by Seller to verify Buyer’s ability to pay for goods or services. If Buyer fails to provide financial information or if Seller, in its sole discretion determines that reasonable grounds exist to question Buyer’s ability or willingness to make payments when due (e.g., not making payments when due, late payments, or a reduction in Buyer's credit score), Seller may defer shipments, change payment terms, require cash in advance and/or require other security, without liability and without waiving any other remedies Seller may have against Buyer. Seller shall provide Buyer with advance written notice of changes to payment terms. In the event of Buyer’s default, the balance of any outstanding amounts will be immediately due and payable.

If Seller so requests the return of the goods, the goods shall be redelivered to Seller in accordance with Seller's instructions and at Seller's expense. The remedies contained in these Standard Terms and Conditions shall constitute the sole recourse of Buyer against Seller for breach of any of Seller's obligations under the Agreement, whether of warranty or otherwise. To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event shall Seller and its affiliates and their respective personnel, suppliers and vendors (“Seller Parties”) be liable to Buyer or any third party under any cause of action or theory of liability, even if advised of the possibility of such damages, for any: (a) special, indirect, incidental, punitive, or consequential damages; (b) lost profits, revenues, data, Buyer opportunities, business, anticipated savings or goodwill; (c) business interruption; or (d) data loss or other losses arising from viruses, ransomware, cyber attacks or failures or interruptions to networksystems In any case, the entire aggregate liability of the Seller Parties under this Agreement for all damages, losses and causes of action, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), or otherwise) shall be limited to the purchase price paid by Buyer hereunder. (8) PATENTS. Seller shall defend or, at its own option settle, any action against Buyer brought by a third party to the extent that the action is based upon a claim that the equipment provided under the Agreement infringes any U.S. patents or copyrights for Buyers located in the United States or Canadian patents or copyrights, for Buyers located in Canada, or misappropriates any trade secrets of a third party (“Claim”), provided that: (i) Buyer gives Seller prompt written notice of any such Claim, (ii) Buyer gives Seller full authority to defend or settle any such Claim, and (iii) Buyer gives Seller proper and full information and assistance, at Seller’s expense (except for Buyer’s employees’ time) to defend or settle any such Claim.

Seller will pay those costs and damages finally awarded against Buyer in the action that are specifically attributable to the claim or those costs and damages agreed to in a monetary settlement of the action. THE FOREGOING IS IN LIEU OF ANY WARRANTIES OF NONINFRINGEMENT, WHICH ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED. The foregoing obligation of Seller does not apply with respect to products or equipment or portions or components thereof (a) not supplied by Seller, (b) made in whole or in part in accordance with Buyer or owner specifications, (c) which are modified after shipment by Seller, if the alleged infringement related to such modification, (d) combined with other products, processes or materials where the alleged infringement relates to such combination, (e) where Buyer continues allegedly infringing activity after being notified thereof and/or after being informed of modifications that would have avoided the alleged infringement without significant loss of performance or functionality, or (f) where Buyer’s use of the product or equipment is incident to an infringement not resulting primarily from the product or equipment; Buyer will indemnify Seller and its officers, directors, agents, and employees from all damages, settlements, attorneys’ fees and expenses related to a claim of infringement, misappropriation, defamation, violation of rights of publicity or privacy excluded from Seller’s indemnity obligation herein.

In the event the matter is submitted to arbitration by Seller, the costs of arbitration shall be borne equally by the parties, and the arbitrator's award may be confirmed and reduced to judgement in any court of competent jurisdiction.

PURCHASE ORDER NOT TO EXCEED THREE HUNDRED

SUMMARY
Adoption of the attached resolution will authorize the acquisition of the LeoSight Public Safety Platform and Communication Software, a cloud-based command and communications software system designed specifically for public safety and municipal operational coordination.

The City’s Law Enforcement Services, Fire Department, Emergency Management, Public Works, Code Enforcement, and other operations require modern, integrated technology platforms to ensure effective coordination, situational awareness, and interoperable communications during routine operations and critical incidents.

The LeoSight Public Safety Platform is a proven, purpose-built software solution designed specifically for law enforcement, fire services, emergency management agencies, public works, code enforcement, and other municipal agencies to provide real-time situational awareness, unified command capabilities, interagency communications within the City and with external agencies, resource management, and comprehensive incident documentation for both daily operations and major incidents.

BACKGROUND
The City of Compton is committed to providing the highest level of public safety services to its residents, visitors, and businesses and the City’s Law Enforcement Services, Fire Department, Emergency Management, Public Works, Code Enforcement, and other operations require modern, integrated technology platforms to ensure effective coordination, situational awareness, and interoperable communications during routine operations and critical incidents.

July 21, 2026, Page 2 of 3
The LeoSight platform eliminates the need for multiple different systems currently utilized by City public safety departments, thereby reducing redundant software licensing costs, consulting services, maintenance agreements, and training expenditures over the contract term.

The platform has been deployed by comparable law enforcement and emergency management agencies, with demonstrated improvements in incident response times, interagency coordination and communication, personnel safety, and accountability.

The LeoSight Public Safety Platform is a proven, purpose-built software solution designed specifically for law enforcement, fire services, emergency management agencies, public works, code enforcement, and other municipal agencies to provide real-time situational awareness, unified command capabilities, interagency communications within the City and with external agencies, resource management, and comprehensive incident documentation for both daily operations and major incidents.

The City’s Law Enforcement Services through the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Office, the Fire Chief, the Emergency Manager, the Public Works Director, the Code Enforcement Director, and other City agencies have reviewed and evaluated the LeoSight platform and recommend its adoption as consistent with best practices in modern public safety operations.

STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
The City has determined that the LeoSight Public Safety Platform possesses unique functional capabilities that are essential to the City’s operational requirements and that acquisition of alternative products would not provide the same level of integration, interoperability, efficiency, and functionality necessary to achieve the City’s public safety objectives, thereby justifying the acquisition of a six (6) year software subscription agreement with LeoSight for the provision of a cloud-based command and communication software service, including software implementation, initial setup, system access, training, configuration, technical phone support, a full solution warranty, and live U.S. based technical support throughout the term of the agreement.

LeoSight has provided the City with a Sole Source Justification Letter affirming that its proprietary, purpose-built Public Safety Platform uniquely integrates secure communications, personnel accountability, incident management, resource tracking, operational coordination, and interoperable public safety workflows through a unified authentication and permissions architecture, and that no substantially equivalent product offers the same combination of capabilities, functionality, integration, and interoperability
The City Manager has reviewed the proposed purchase and concurs that the acquisition represents a fiscally sound investment that will enhance public safety capabilities, Staff Report –Resolution Authorizing Execution of a

improve operational efficiency, and protect long-term budget stability by locking in current pricing for a six-year term

FISCAL IMPACT
LeoSight has offered the City a six (6) year contract term with a substantial prepayment discount, whereby full upfront payment of the six-year term results in a savings of approximately One Hundred Fifty-Six Thousand One Dollar and Fifty-Eight Cents ($156,001.58) compared to annual subscription pricing, representing sound stewardship of public funds.

The total cost for the six (6) year LeoSight Public Safety Platform and Communications Software Subscription contract, paid in full upfront, shall not exceed Three Hundred Forty-Six Thousand Four Hundred Ninety-Eight Dollars and Forty-Two Cents ($346,498.42), which shall be funded through the City’s Measure P funds.

Funds for this expenditure are available in the 2026-2027 Fiscal Year budget in Account No. 1004-610-000-4266.

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution.
