SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A ONE (1) YEAR
LEASE AGREEMENT WITH ENTRENOUS YOUTH EMPOWERMENT
SERVICES, INC. DBA COMPTON YOUTHBUILD FOR THE LEASE OF
CITY-OWNED PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1108 NORTH OLEANDER
AVENUE, COMPTON, CA 90222
SUMMARY
The City Council will consider a request by Entrenous Youth Empowerment Services, Inc. dba Compton YouthBuild (“Compton YouthBuild”) and authorize the City Manager to enter into a one (1) year (i.e., October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027) agreement with a one-year option to extend (i.e., October 1, 2027, through September 30, 2028) and one five-year option to extend (i.e., October 1, 2028, through September 30, 2033) or the lease of approximately 4,750 square feet of indoor space at City-owned property, located at 1108 North Oleander, Compton, California 90222.
BACKGROUND
The City of Compton owns certain real property located at 1108 North Oleander, Compton, California 90222, commonly known as the “Old Dollarhide” facility. This property is used as a “shared occupancy” facility, offering indoor space for leasing to outside agencies, organizations, and individuals.
Compton YouthBuild has been a tenant at the facility since 2017, currently utilizing approximately 9,502 square feet of indoor space and sharing the facility with Crystal Stairs, Inc. The organization now wishes to expand its operations by leasing the former Dollarhide Health Clinic space.
Pursuant to the guidance of the City Council, in November 2012, the City Manager implemented a Citywide Leasing Policy requiring that City-owned facilities and/or property shall not be leased without prior authorization from the City Council through an adopted resolution and the execution of a written lease agreement, in accordance with the City of Compton Standard Operating Manual (SOM), Policy 4.17(A)(1).
Among other provisions, the policy specifies that lease rates shall be based on the square footage of the leased premises and that the minimum rental rate for indoor space in a City-owned facility shall be One Dollar ($1.00) per square foot.

September 15, 2026, Page 2
In addition to the minimum base rental rate, proposed lease agreements are intended to recover the City's costs for utilities, maintenance, and repairs. The City Controller has calculated these costs at Two Dollars and Two Cents ($2.02) per square foot.
Accordingly, the recommended minimum monthly rental rate is Three Dollars and Two Cents ($3.02) per square foot, consisting of the $1.00 base rental rate plus $2.02 per square foot for utilities, maintenance, and repairs.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
According to the prospective tenant, Entrenous Youth Empowerment Services, Inc., dba Compton YouthBuild, is an established, high-performing partner invested in the physical and social infrastructure of the City of Compton.
The proposed lease agreement will provide Compton YouthBuild with shared space at 1108 North Oleander Avenue, Compton, CA 90222, as follows:
Indoor Square Footage 4,750 square feet
Total Leased Square Footage 4,750 square feet
Compton YouthBuild seeks City Council approval to enter into a one (1) year lease agreement with the City, beginning October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027, with a one-year option to extend (i.e., October 1, 2027, through September 30, 2028) and one five-year option to extend (i.e., October 1, 2028, through September 30, 2033) for shared occupancy of the space. The leased space will be used for administrative offices and support services for their organization.
Compton YouthBuild also requests that the City Council authorize lease provisions that differ from the City’s Leasing Policy by approving a reduced rental rate of One Dollar ($1.00) per square foot for the term of the lease, consistent with the lease rate approved in 2017. If approved, Compton YouthBuild will be responsible for maintenance, minor repairs, custodial services, and security.
SOM Policy 4.17(A)(1) provides that "only the City Council shall have the authority to reduce or waive the standard leasing rates and/or other costs required by the policy and the proposed lease agreement." Therefore, City Council approval is required to reduce or waive the standard leasing rates established by the City's Leasing Policy.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Unless the Council elects to waive the minimum lease rental rate requirements established by SOM Policy 4.17(A)(1), the proposed lease would generate a base monthly rental payment of Fourteen Thousand Three Hundred Forty-Five Dollars ($14,345.00), resulting in an annual General Fund revenue of One Hundred Seventy-Two Thousand One Hundred Forty Dollars ($172,140.00) for the one-year lease term.

______________ per month, or _____________ per year.
2.Deny the request to enter into a lease agreement for this location by Entrenous Youth Empowerment Services, Inc. dba Compton YouthBuild.

PROPOSAL TO LEASE VACANT SPACE
Date: July 6, 2026
To: City of Compton, Department of General Services
From: EntreNous Community Empowerment, Inc.
(DBA EntreNous Youth Empowerment Services, Inc. / DBA Compton YouthBuild)
Subject: Proposal to Lease Vacant Space (Former Dollarhide Health Clinic) at 1108 N. Oleander Ave., Compton, CA 90222
Executive Summary
EntreNous Community Empowerment, Inc. respectfully submits this proposal to lease the currently vacant space formerly occupied by the Dollarhide Health Clinic, located within our current facility at 1108 N. Oleander Ave., Compton, CA 90222. As a deeply rooted community partner and an exemplary tenant of the City of Compton for nearly nine years, EntreNous aims to utilize this expanded footprint to scale our high-quality workforce and leadership development programs, directly benefiting Compton’s residents and economically distressed families.
Organizational Foundations
• Our Mission: EntreNous delivers programs, resources and services to foster resilient and self-sustaining people.
• Our Purpose: To offer an integrated, human development approach to high-quality workforce and leadership development programs, education, resources, and services.
Through the creation of an inclusive, equitable, and nurturing environment, we provide culturally relevant and rigorous instruction. The goal is to improve financial sustainability for people and families in economically distressed communities.
A Proven Track Record: A Trusted City Partner Since 2017 EntreNous is not just an applicant; we are an established, high-performing partner invested in the physical and social infrastructure of the City of Compton. • Flawless Tenancy: We have leased space in this exact facility since August 1, 2017, consistently maintaining excellent standing with the City, meeting all lease obligations, and ensuring a safe, positive environment.
• Capital Improvements: We treat City property as a vital community asset. To date, EntreNous has self-funded and executed major tenant improvements totaling over $1.1

million dollars, significantly increasing the long-term asset value of this City-owned property.
Proposed Use of Space & Community Benefit
Acquiring the vacant former Dollarhide Health Clinic space will allow EntreNous to operationalize our human development approach at a greater scale. The expanded footprint will be used to increase the number of participants in our premier workforce training and educational programs:
1. Construction & Green Technology Training: Expanding our hands-on technical workshops to provide rigorous instruction in high-demand trades, green building, and sustainable infrastructure.
2. Culinary Arts & Hospitality: Scaling our culinary arts training and commercial kitchen capacity to prepare participants for immediate career placement, fostering long-term financial sustainability for local families.
3. Accredited High School Diploma: In partnership with YouthBuild Charter School of California, the expanded classroom space will allow EntreNous to expand our educational opportunities including a STEAM laboratory for career exploration in Energy Infrastructure.
By transforming this vacant space into an inclusive, nurturing, and active hub of workforce activity, the City of Compton will see a direct return in the form of enhanced economic mobility, reduced unemployment, and a more resilient local workforce.
Proposed Renovation & Estimated Tenant Improvement Costs To successfully transition the vacant medical space into an active educational hub, EntreNous will undertake a complete interior renovation. This capital project will repurpose the former clinical layout into four (4) expansive, modern classrooms designed specifically for academic and occupational instruction.
A primary component of this renovation involves reconfiguring the legacy medical plumbing network:
• Plumbing Scope & Remediation: The current layout contains eighteen (18) individual examination room sinks. A licensed plumbing contractor will be engaged to thoroughly assess the current system condition, permanently cap off all 18 sinks, and evaluate the existing cast-iron sewer lines, which may require localized repairs or full replacement. • Estimated Capital Investment: EntreNous projects the total cost for these comprehensive structural and plumbing transformations to be $250,000. Following our established history with this facility, these expenses will be absorbed as a significant tenant improvement, further increasing the asset value of the City-owned property.

Next Steps
EntreNous is prepared to enter immediate negotiations regarding lease terms, square footage adjustments, and timeline integration. We welcome the opportunity to tour the space with General Services staff to align logistics.
Thank you for your continued partnership and for considering this opportunity to build a stronger, more resilient Compton together. I am authorized by the Board of Directors to enter into this lease agreement.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON
AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A MEASURE R
FUNDING AGREEMENT WITH THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY
METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY (LACMTA) FOR
THE ROSECRANS AVENUE/ATLANTIC AVENUE AND ARTESIA
BOULEVARD/SANTA FE AVENUE INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS
PROJECT
SUMMARY
Staff requests that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a Measure R Funding Agreement (Funding Agreement No. 9200000000MR30661) between the City of Compton (“City”) and the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (“LACMTA”). The agreement provides $700,000 in Measure R funding for Right-of-Way (“ROW”) activities associated with the Rosecrans Avenue/Atlantic Avenue and Artesia Boulevard/Santa Fe Avenue Intersection Improvements Project. The agreement also extends the availability of FY 2023-24 Measure R funds through June 30, 2027, allowing the City to continue advancing the project without risking the lapse of allocated funds.
BACKGROUND
The City of Compton, in coordination with LACMTA and the County of Los Angeles, is advancing the Rosecrans Avenue/Atlantic Avenue and Artesia Boulevard/Santa Fe Avenue Intersection Improvements Project. The project is intended to improve traffic operations, reduce congestion during peak travel periods, and enhance safety for motorists, pedestrians, transit users, and bicyclists. Proposed improvements include additional turn lanes, traffic signal upgrades, roadway restriping, crosswalk enhancements, and related operational improvements.
The project is funded through Measure R as part of the I-710 South Corridor Early Action Projects Program. LACMTA programmed funding for the project in multiple phases:
In July 2021, the LACMTA Board programmed $329,500 in Measure R funds for the Project Approval and Environmental Document (“PAED”) phase. In January 2023, the LACMTA Board programmed an additional $2,223,700 in Measure R funds for the Plans, Specifications and Estimates (“PS&E”) and Right- of-Way (“ROW”) phases.
15.15.15. Staff Report – Measure R Funding Agreement with Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority
September 8, 2026, Page 2 of 3
The City and LACMTA previously entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) for management and delivery of the environmental, design, and right-of-way activities.
The MOU was originally executed on September 14, 2021, and amended on June 12, 2026. Under that arrangement, LACMTA utilized its Architectural and Engineering services contract to perform project development services on behalf of the City.
To reimburse and administer the remaining Right-of-Way activities, LACMTA requires execution of a separate Funding Agreement establishing the terms and conditions governing the use of $700,000 in Measure R funds designated for the ROW phase of the project.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
Execution of the Funding Agreement is required for the City to access and expend the remaining Measure R funds allocated to the project’s Right-of-Way phase. The agreement establishes reimbursement procedures, reporting requirements, project delivery obligations, and fund administration requirements. It also extends the funding lapse deadline for FY 2023-24 Measure R funds to June 30, 2027, ensuring continued availability of funding while ROW activities are completed.
Without approval of the Funding Agreement, the City may be unable to utilize the programmed Measure R funds necessary to complete Right-of-Way acquisition activities and continue advancement of the project.
ALTERNATIVE
Do Not Approve. Failure to approve the Funding Agreement could delay project delivery, jeopardize the City’s ability to utilize the allocated Measure R funding, and impede completion of the Right-of-Way phase of the project.
FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of the Funding Agreement will enable the City to receive up to $700,000 in Measure R reimbursement funding for eligible Right-of-Way activities associated with the project. Reimbursement will be administered in accordance with LACMTA funding and reporting requirements.
The funding is provided by LACMTA and does not require an additional General Fund appropriation. The City will be responsible for complying with all funding agreement requirements and for any project costs exceeding available grant funding.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a Measure R Funding Agreement with the Los Angeles County Staff Report – Measure R Funding Agreement with Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority

4. Attachment A the “Project Funding” documents all sources of funds programmed for the Project as approved by LACMTA. The Project Funding includes the total programmed funds for the Project, including the Funds programmed by LACMTA and, if any, the GRANTEE Funding Commitment of other sources of funding. The Project Funding also includes the fiscal years in which all the funds for the Project are programmed. The Funds are subject to adjustment by subsequent LACMTA Board Action.
5. Attachment B-1 is the Expenditure Plan- Cost & Cash Flow Budget (the "Expenditure Plan"). It is the entire proposed cash flow, the Budget and financial plan for the Project, which includes the total sources of all funds programmed to the Project, including GRANTEE and other entity funding commitments, if any, for this Project as well as the fiscal year and quarters the Project funds are anticipated to be expended. GRANTEE shall update the Expenditure Plan annually, no later than December 31, and such update shall be submitted to LACMTA’s Executive Officer of Countywide Planning, Complete Streets & Highway in writing. If the LACMTA’s Executive Officer of Countywide Planning, Complete Streets & Highway concurs with such updated Expenditure Plan in writing, Attachment B-1 shall be replaced with the new Attachment B-1 setting forth the latest approved Expenditure Plan.

applicable. No later than December 31 of each year, GRANTEE shall notify LACMTA if there are any changes to the final milestone date set forth in the schedule or any changes to the Scope of Work. If LACMTA agrees to such changes, the parties shall memorialize such changes in an amendment to this FA. Work shall be delivered in accordance with the schedule and scope identified in this FA unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing in an amendment to this FA. If GRANTEE fails to meet milestones or fails to deliver the Project, LACMTA will have the option to suspend or terminate the FA for default as described in Part II, Sections 2, 9, 10 and 11 herein below. To the extent interim milestone dates are not met but GRANTEE believes and can show documentation acceptable to LACMTA supporting GRANTEE’S ability to make up the time so as to not impact the final milestone date, GRANTEE shall notify LACMTA of such changes in its Quarterly Progress/Expenditure Reports and such interim milestone dates will automatically be amended to the latest interim milestone dates provided in the Quarterly Progress/Expenditure Reports Attachment D-2. In no event can the final milestone date be amended by a Quarterly Progress/Expenditure Report.
7. No changes to this FA, including but not limited to the Funds, and any other source of funds from LACMTA in the Project Funding, Expenditure Plan or the Scope of Work shall be allowed without an amendment to the original FA, approved and signed by both parties.

The FTIP PROJECT SHEET (PDF) can be found in ProgramMetro FTIP database under the reports section at https://programmetro.ecointeractive.com/secure2/login.asp. All projects that receive funding through Measure R must be programmed into the FTIP, which includes locally funded regionally significant projects for information and air quality modeling purposes. GRANTEE shall review the Project in ProgramMetro each year and update or correct the Project information as necessary during a scheduled FTIP amendment or adoption. GRANTEE will be notified of amendments and adoptions to the FTIP via e-mail. Changes to the FTIP through ProgramMetro should be made as soon as possible after GRANTEE is aware of any changes to the Project, but no later than October 1 of the year the change or update is effective. Should GRANTEE fail to meet this date, it may affect GRANTEE's ability to access funding, delay the Project and may ultimately result in the Funds being lapsed.
10. LACMTA anticipates it may need to avail itself of lower cost bonds or other debt, the interest on which is tax exempt for federal tax purposes and/or Build America Bonds as defined in the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009 or similar types of bonds (collectively, the 'Bonds") to provide at least a portion of its funding commitments under this Agreement to GRANTEE. GRANTEE shall ensure that the expenditure of the Funds disbursed to GRANTEE does not jeopardize the tax-exemption of the interest, the Federal subsidy payment or the tax credit, as applicable, as specified in the Bond Requirements attached as
Attachment F to this Agreement. GRANTEE agrees to provide LACMTA with progress reports, expenditure documentation, and any other documentation as reasonably FTIP #: LA9919535

Modifications that do not materially affect the terms of this FA, such as redistributing Funds among existing budget line items or non-material schedule changes must be formally requested by GRANTEE and approved by LACMTA in writing. Non-material changes are those changes which do not affect the grant amount or its schedule, Project Funding, or the Scope of Work, including the Work schedule.

4. USE OF FUNDS
4.1 GRANTEE shall utilize the Funds to complete the Project as described in the Scope of Work and in accordance with the Reporting and Expenditure Guidelines and the specifications for use for the transportation purposes described in the Ordinance.
4.2 Attachment C shall constitute the agreed upon Scope of Work between LACMTA and GRANTEE for the Project. The Funds, as granted under this FA, can only be used towards the completion of the Scope of Work detailed in Attachment C.
4.3 GRANTEE shall not use the Funds to substitute for any other funds or projects not specified in this FA. Further, GRANTEE shall not use the Funds for any expenses or activities above and beyond the approved Scope of Work (Attachment C) without an amendment to the FA approved and signed by the LACMTA Chief Executive Officer or his Designee. To the extent LACMTA provides GRANTEE with bond or commercial paper proceeds, such Funds may not be used to reimburse for any costs that jeopardize the tax exempt nature of such financings as reasonably determined by LACMTA and its bond counsel.
4.4 GRANTEE must use the Funds in the most cost-effective manner. If GRANTEE intends to use a consultant or contractor to implement all or part of the Project, LACMTA requires that such activities be procured in accordance with GRANTEE’s contracting procedures and consistent with State law as appropriate. GRANTEE will also use the Funds in the most cost-effective manner when the Funds are used to pay “in-house” staff time.

GRANTEE Funding Commitment dollars expended prior to the year the Funds are awarded shall be spent at GRANTEE’s own risk, or as delineated in a Letter of No Prejudice executed by the prospective GRANTEE and LACMTA.
8.5 If GRANTEE receives outside funding for the Project in addition to the Funds identified in the Project Funding and the Expenditure Plan at the time this grant was awarded, this FA shall be amended to reflect such additional funding. If, at the time of final invoice or voucher, funding for the Project (including the Funds, GRANTEE Funding Commitment, and any additional funding) exceeds the actual Project costs, then the cost savings shall be applied in the same proportion as the sources of funds from each party to this FA as specified in the Project Funding and both the Funds and GRANTEE Funding Commitment required for the Project shall be reduced accordingly. LACMTA shall have the right to use any cost savings associated with the Funds at its sole discretion, including, without limitation, programming the unused Funds to another project or to another grantee. If, at the time of final voucher, it is determined that GRANTEE has received Funds in excess of what GRANTEE should have received for the Project, GRANTEE shall return such overage to LACMTA within 30 days from final voucher.

SCOPE OF WORK
PROJECT TITLE:
Rosecrans Avenue/Atlantic Avenue & Artesia Boulevard/Santa Fe Avenue Intersection Improvements.
PROJECT LOCATION:
The project is located at the Rosecrans Avenue and Atlantic Avenue intersection and at the Artesia Boulevard and Santa Fe Avenue Intersections in the City of Compton and the County of Los Angeles.
PROJECT LIMITS:
This project limits are at the Rosecrans Avenue and Atlantic Avenue intersection and at the Artesia Boulevard and Santa Fe Avenue Intersections in the City of Compton and the County of Los Angeles.
NEXUS TO HIGHWAY OPERATION, DEFINITION/PROJECT PURPOSE:
The purpose of this project is to implement focused intersection improvements at Rosecrans Avenue/Atlantic Avenue and Artesia Boulevard/Santa Fe Avenue to provide congestion relief during peak hours and improving safety for vehicles and pedestrians.
PROJECT BACKGROUND:
The City of Compton, in cooperation with the County of Los Angeles and the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro), is proposing improvements to Rosecrans Avenue/Atlantic Avenue and Artesia Boulevard/Santa Fe Avenue Intersections (the Project) in the City of Compton and the County of Los Angeles. These improvements are identified and funded through the I-710 South Corridor Improvement Project Early Action Program.
In 2008, Measure R was passed and established a 30- year 1/2 cent sales tax for transportation improvements in Los Angeles County. From this measure, $590 million was set aside for I-710 South and/or Early Action Projects of which $160 million was allocated to non-freeway improvements. Metro has worked closely with the Gateway Cities Council of Governments (Gateway COG) and the local jurisdictions that compose the I -710 Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) to establish & prioritize projects using this funding source. The City of Compton, working through the TAC, requested, and received approval to program funding for the Project through the Environmental Approval , completing the Final Plans, Specifications, and Estimates (PS&E), and Right -of-Way engineering services to advance geometric improvements for two intersections (the Project) in the City of Compton and the County of Los Angeles. The Project is not fully funded at this time.
The Project proposes implementing focused intersection improvements at Rosecrans Avenue/Atlantic Avenue and Artesia Boulevard/Santa Fe Avenue, providing congestion relief during peak hours and improving safety for vehicles and pedestrians. These intersections were identified for potential improvements in the I-710 South Corridor Project Alternative 5C year 2035 conditions analysis. The geometric improvements at each intersection are described below:

Rev: 05.03.19 2 FA Measure R Hwys Gen Attachment C Scope of Work
Rosecrans Avenue at Atlantic Avenue:
Proposed intersection improvements include adding a westbound right -turn lane and a southbound left turn lane. To accommodate the added westbound right -turn lane, widening is proposed on the southside of Rosecrans Avenue in the eastbound direction between Atlantic Avenue and Lime Avenue by reducing the sidewalk width while meeting standards for Americans with Disabilities Act. Two commercial driveways will also require reconstruction. To accommodate the added southbound left - turn lane on Atlantic Avenue, the project proposes to reduce lane widths and remove on-street parking along southbound Atlantic Avenue. Traffic signal heads will be replaced to accommodate for the added turn lanes. Continental crosswalks will be added increase visibility for pedestrians. A new bus shelter will replace the existing on at the southeast corner of the intersection.
Artesia Boulevard at Santa Fe Avenue:
Proposed intersection improvements include adding an eastbound right-turn lane and converting the eastbound right-turn lane into a shared through/right-turn lane. To accommodate the added right-turn lane, widening is proposed on the southside of Artesia Boulevard. Modifications to the raised median along Artesia Boulevard have been proposed to increase storage lengths for the eastbound left -turn lane. Restriping Santa Fe Avenue has been proposed to increase storage length for the southbound left-turn lane. Traffic signal heads will also need to be replaced to accommodate the added turn lane.
Continental crosswalks will be added to increase visibility for pedestrians in addition to replacement of the pedestrian signal heads. A new bus shelter will also be constructed along WB Artesia Blvd.

FROM: INTERIM CITY MANAGER, JERRY GROOMES
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF TERMINATION OF THE CITY’S PREFERENTIAL
PARKING PERMIT DISTRICT IN RICHLAND FARMS
SUMMARY
The City currently has one preferential parking district, Richland Farms. This district is presently the only area within the City subject to preferential parking permit restrictions.
The establishment, administration, and termination of preferential parking permit districts are governed by City Municipal Code section 12-9.4.
The relevant provisions of the City Municipal Code section 12-9.4 are as follows:
a. Once a resolution establishing a residential preferential parking district is established, parking permits must be issued to at least 50% of residents in the district before signs will be installed designating the preferential parking district. If the minimum number of permits is not obtained within 60 days, or the number of permit holders drops below 50%
following annual permit renewals, the residential preferential parking district may be terminated by resolution of the City Council at a public hearing noticed as described above. b. The City Council may terminate a preferential parking district upon receipt of a petition calling for such termination which has been received and transmitted by the City Clerk, and contains signatures and the corresponding printed name and address representing a majority (50% + one) of the
dwelling units in the district. The City Council may also terminate such district, without petition, based upon, but not limited to, any changes in the criteria upon which the original designation was based.
More specifically, subsection (b) of Compton Municipal Code section 12-9.4 provides that the City Council may terminate a preferential parking district upon receipt of a petition calling for such termination that has been received and transmitted by the City Clerk, contains signatures, together with the corresponding printed names and addresses, representing a majority (50% +1) of the dwelling units within the preferential parking district.
16.16.16.16.16.16. 01478.0001 2186872.1
BACKGROUND
Based upon data maintained by the City, there are approximately 400 dwelling units within the existing preferential permit parking district. Accordingly, a petition seeking termination of the district must be submitted and contain qualifying signatures representing a majority of those dwelling units, or approximately 201 dwelling units in order to satisfy the threshold established by Compton Municipal Code section 12-9.4.
A petition requesting termination of the preferential permit parking district was circulated by residents in Richland Farms and subsequently received by the City on March 9, 2026 (hereafter, the “Petition”). The Petition contains 249 full names, addresses, and signatures, of residents that live within that district requesting termination of the preferential parking enforcement in Richland Farms, with more than 201 dwelling units represented.
Based upon the appropriate number of dwelling units reflected in the City’s records, the City staff verified that the Petition contains signatures exceeding the minimum number required by Compton Municipal Code section 12-9.4. Accordingly, the Petition satisfies the numerical requirements necessary for the City Council to consider termination of the preferential parking permit district in Richland Farms.
Upon receipt of the Petition, the City Clerk notified City Personnel regarding the Petition and requested the termination of the district. This matter, however, recently came to the attention of the Interim City Manager in a meeting with residents residing in Richland Farms. In light of the Petition and the Municipal Code requirements, the City Manager’s office is now presenting this matter to the City Council for consideration and direction.
Council initially heard the item on September 1, 2026 and are rehearing the item for further discussion.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The preferential parking permit district in Richland Farms was established to regulate parking within the designated area by providing preferential parking privileges to qualifying residents, and to restrict parking by vehicles without the appropriate permit.
The Petition received by the City demonstrates that a majority of the dwelling units within Richland Farms requested that the Preferential Parking Permit designation be terminated. Because the Petition satisfies the requirements established by Compton Municipal Code section 12-9.4(b), the Municipal Code authorizes the City Council to terminate the preferential permit parking district.
The City Council is not required to select termination as its only available option. Rather, the matter is being presented to the City Council to determine how it wishes to proceed in light of the qualifying Petition, the purposes underlying the existing district, and the current parking needs of the affected area.
01478.0001 2186872.1
Staff, therefore, requests that the City Council consider the Petition and provide direction regarding the operation and enforcement of the preferential permit parking district in Richland Farms.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Fiscal Impact will be assessed upon completion of a Citywide Parking study to determine whether preferential parking will remain in some form or be completely terminated in Richland Farms.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the City Council take any of the following actions:
1. Terminate the Preferential Permit Parking District in Richland Farms.
Direct staff to terminate the existing preferential parking permit district in Richland Farms until further notice and take the administrative steps necessary to discontinue preferential parking permit restrictions and enforcement within Richland Farms.
2. Continue the Preferential Permit Parking District in Richland Farms.
Direct staff to reject the Petition request, maintain the existing preferential parking permit district, and continue enforcement of the applicable preferential permit parking restrictions.
3. Provide Alternate Direction. The City Council may take any other action, or provide any additional direction to staff, that the City Council deems appropriate in response to the Petition requesting termination of the preferential parking within the district.

SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
COMPTON UPDATING THE CITY OF COMPTON INVESTMENT
POLICY FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026/2027
SUMMARY
The proposed resolution would update the current City investment policy that was adopted by City Council on May 12, 2026 with resolution No 26,413. The annual review and adoption of the City’s investment policy is a requirement designed to ensure that the policy is up to date with market trends and procedures and that the City’s economic goals are met.
BACKGROUND
Pursuant to Section XIX Review of Investment Policy, the City of Compton’s Investment Policy must be reviewed and adopted at least annually within 120 days of the end of the fiscal year to ensure its consistency with the overall objectives of preservation of principal, liquidity and return, and its relevance to current law and financial and economic trends.
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
The proposed resolution would update the City investment policy which would replace and supersede the City’s current policy. This proposed updated investment policy has been meticulously vetted by both the City’s current investment advisor, Chandler Asset Management, Inc, as well as City Treasurer Department staff, and follows the investment policy model set forth in California Government Code.
Adoption of this updated policy will provide the City with a policy that meets the industry’s best practices, utilizes the most current policies set forth by California Government Code and will also make the City of Compton eligible for the California Municipal Treasurers Association (CMTA) Investment Policy Certification Program, a distinction that the City of Compton has never held.

I. INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this investment policy is to identify various policies and procedures that will foster a prudent and systematic investment program designed to seek the City of Compton’s objectives of safety, liquidity and return on investment through a diversified investment portfolio. This policy also serves to organize and formalize the City’s investment-related activities, while complying with all applicable statutes governing the investment of public funds. This policy is written to incorporate industry best practices and recommendations from sources such as the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA), California Municipal Treasurers Association (CMTA), California Debt and Investment Advisory Commission (CDIAC) and the Association of Public Treasurers (APT).
This investment policy was endorsed and adopted by the City of Compton’s City Council and is effective as of the 15th day of September, 2026 and replaces any previous versions.
II. SCOPE
This policy covers all funds and investment activities under the direct authority of the City, as set forth in the State Government Code, Sections 53600 et seq., with the following exceptions:
Proceeds of debt issuance shall be invested in accordance with the City’s general investment philosophy as set forth in this policy; however, such proceeds are to be invested pursuant to the permitted investment provisions of their specific bond indentures.
CalPERS, OPEB trusts, and the investment of employees’ deferred compensation funds invested pursuant to Government Code Section 53609 Any other funds specifically exempted by the City Council.
POOLING OF FUNDS
Except for cash in certain restricted and special funds, the City will consolidate cash and reserve balances from all funds to maximize investment earnings and to increase efficiencies with regard to investment pricing, safekeeping and administration. Investment income will be allocated to the various funds based on their respective participation and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
CASH MANAGEMENT
The City will maintain sufficient operating cash in its operating account (General Checking Account, Successor Agency Checking Accounts, and Payroll Accounts). These balances will be minimal and maintained solely to cover outstanding warrants. The General Checking balance will be maintained solely to cover routine operational costs.
The City Treasurer shall assess operating account balances on a quarterly basis and transfer excess funds to the City’s investment accounts.

2026-2027 Investment Policy

III. PRUDENCE
Pursuant to California Government Code, Section 53600.3, all persons authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of the City are trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject to the Prudent Investor Standard:
“…all governing bodies of local agencies or persons authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of those local agencies investing public funds pursuant to this chapter are trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject to the prudent investor standard. When investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the Agency, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the Agency. Within the limitations of this section and considering individual investments as part of an overall strategy, investments may be acquired as authorized by law.”
The City Treasurer and other authorized persons responsible for managing City funds acting in accordance with written procedures and this investment policy and exercising due diligence shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security’s credit risk or market price changes provided that the City Treasurer or other authorized persons acted in good faith. Deviations from expectations of a security’s credit or market risk should be reported to the City Council in a timely fashion and appropriate action should be taken to control adverse developments.
IV. OBJECTIVES
The City’s overall investment program shall be designed and managed with a degree of professionalism worthy of the public trust. The overriding objectives of the program are to preserve principal, provide sufficient liquidity, and manage investment risks, while seeking a market-rate of return.
SAFETY. Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program.
Investments will be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio. To attain this objective, the City will diversify its investments by investing funds among a variety of securities with independent returns. LIQUIDITY. The investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to meet all operating requirements that may be reasonably anticipated. RETURN ON INVESTMENTS. The investment portfolio will be designed with the objective of attaining a market rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the investment risk constraints for safety and liquidity needs.
City of Compton
2026-2027 Investment Policy
4 of 21
The City Treasurer shall not knowingly make any investments in any institution, company, corporation, subsidiary or affiliate that practices or supports directly or indirectly through its actions, discrimination on the basis of race, religion, color, creed, national or ethnic origin, age, sex, sexual orientation, or physical disability.
V. DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
Authority to manage the City’s investment program is derived from California Government Code, Sections 41006 for City Treasurers and 53600 et seq.
The City Council is responsible for the management of the City’s funds, including the administration of this investment policy. Management responsibility for the cash management of the City’s funds is hereby delegated to the City Treasurer.
The City Treasurer will be responsible for all transactions undertaken and will establish a system of procedures and controls to regulate the activities of subordinate officials and employees. Such procedures will include explicit delegation of authority to persons responsible for investment transactions. No person may engage in an investment transaction except as provided under the terms of this policy and the procedures established by the City Treasurer.
The City may engage the services of one or more external investment advisers, who are registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, to assist in the management of the City’s investment portfolio in a manner consistent with the City’s objectives. External investment advisers may be granted discretion to purchase and sell investment securities in accordance with this investment policy.
The City's overall investment program shall be designed and managed with a degree of professionalism that is worthy of the public trust. The City recognizes that in a diversified portfolio, occasional measured losses may be inevitable and must be considered within the context of the overall portfolio’s return and the cash flow requirements of the City.
VI. ETHICS AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
All participants in the investment process shall act as custodians of the public trust.
Investment officials shall recognize that the investment portfolio is subject to public review and evaluation. Thus, employees and officials involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activity that could create a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict with proper execution of the investment program, or which could impair their ability to make impartial investment decisions.
Employees and investment officials shall disclose to the City Manager any material interests in financial institutions with which they conduct business, and they shall further disclose any large personal financial/investment positions that could be related to the performance of the investment portfolio. Employees and officers shall refrain from undertaking any personal investment transactions with the same individual with whom business is conducted on behalf of the City.

2026-2027 Investment Policy
5 of 21
VII. INTERNAL CONTROLS
The City Treasurer (or the Chief Deputy City Treasurer in the absence of the City Treasurer) is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure designed to ensure that the assets of the entity are protected from loss, theft or misuse. The internal control structure shall be designed to provide reasonable assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that (1) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived; and (2) the valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management.
Periodically, as deemed appropriate by the City and/or the City Council, an independent analysis by an external auditor shall be conducted to review internal controls, account activity and compliance with policies and procedures.
The Investment Policy shall be included in the City’s Standard Operating Manual.
VIII. AUTHORIZED FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS, DEPOSITORIES, AND BROKER/DEALERS The City Treasurer shall maintain procedures for establishing a list of authorized broker/dealers and financial institutions which are approved for investment purposes that are selected through a process of due diligence as determined by the City. No purchase or sale of investments is to be made with a broker-dealer, by a member of the Treasurer’s office, unless the firm’s name has been approved by the City Treasurer and adopted by resolution by the City’s Legislative Body. Due inquiry shall determine whether such authorized broker/dealers, and the individuals covering the City are reputable and trustworthy, knowledgeable and experienced in Public Agency investing and able to meet all of their financial obligations. These institutions may include "primary" dealers or regional dealers that qualify under Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Rule 15c3- 1 (uniform net capital rule).
In accordance with Section 53601.5, institutions eligible to transact investment business with the City include:
Institutions licensed by the state as a broker-dealer, as defined in Section 25004 of the Corporations Code, with proof of FINRA certification.
Institutions that are members of a federally regulated securities exchange. Primary government dealers as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank and non- primary government dealers.
Nationally or state-chartered banks.
Savings association or federal association (as defined in Section 5102 of the Financial Code).
The Federal Reserve Bank.
Direct issuers of securities eligible for purchase.
Selection of financial institutions and broker/dealers authorized to engage in transactions will be at the sole discretion of the City, except where the City utilizes an external investment adviser in which case the City may rely on the adviser for selection.
City of Compton
2026-2027 Investment Policy
6 of 21
All financial institutions which desire to become qualified bidders for investment transactions (and which are not dealing only with the investment adviser) must supply the City Treasurer with audited financials and a statement certifying that the institution has reviewed the California Government Code, Section 53600 et seq. and the City’s investment policy. The City Treasurer will conduct an annual review of the financial condition and registrations of such qualified bidders.
To the extent practicable, the City Treasurer shall endeavor to complete investment transactions using a competitive bid process whenever possible. The City Treasury will determine which financial institutions are authorized to provide investment services to the City. It shall be the City’s policy to purchase securities only from authorized institutions and firms.
Selection of broker/dealers used by an external investment adviser retained by the City will be at the sole discretion of the adviser. Where possible, transactions with broker/dealers shall be selected on a competitive basis and their bid or offering prices shall be recorded.
If there is no other readily available competitive offering, best efforts will be made to document quotations for comparable or alternative securities. When purchasing original issue instrumentality securities, no competitive offerings will be required as all dealers in the selling group offer those securities at the same original issue price.
Public deposits will be made only in qualified public depositories as established by State law. Deposits will be insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or, to the extent the amount exceeds the insured maximum, will be collateralized in accordance with State law.
IX. AUTHORIZED INVESTMENTS
The City’s investments are governed by California Government Code, Sections 53600 et seq. Within the investments permitted by the Code, the City seeks to further restrict eligible investments to the guidelines listed below. In the event a discrepancy is found between this policy and Code, the more restrictive parameters will take precedence. Percentage holding limits and minimum credit requirements listed in this section apply at the time the security is purchased.
Any investment currently held at the time the policy is adopted which does not meet the new policy guidelines can be held until maturity and shall be exempt from the current policy. At the time of the investment’s maturity or liquidation, such funds shall be reinvested only as provided in the current policy.
An appropriate risk level shall be maintained by primarily purchasing securities that are of high quality, liquid, and marketable. The portfolio shall be diversified by security type and issuer to avoid incurring unreasonable and avoidable risks regarding specific security types or individual issuers.

DELIVERY-VERSUS-PAYMENT (DVP). All investment transactions shall be conducted on a delivery-versus-payment basis.
SAFEKEEPING AND CUSTODY.

All investment transactions will require a safekeeping receipt or acknowledgment generated from the trade. A monthly report will be received by the City from the custodian listing all securities held in safekeeping with current market data and other information.

14 of 21
The only exceptions to the foregoing shall be depository accounts and securities purchases made with: (i) local government investment pools; (ii) time certificates of deposit, and, (iii) mutual funds and money market mutual funds, since these securities are not deliverable.
XIV. MAXIMUM MATURITY
To the extent possible, investments shall be matched with anticipated cash flow requirements and known future liabilities.
The City will not invest in securities maturing more than five (5) years from the date of trade settlement, unless the City Council has by resolution granted authority to make such an investment.
XV. RISK MANAGEMENT AND DIVERSIFICATION
MITIGATING CREDIT RISK IN THE PORTFOLIO
Credit risk is the risk that a security or a portfolio will lose some or all its value due to a real or perceived change in the ability of the issuer to repay its debt. The City will mitigate credit risk by adopting the following strategies:
The diversification requirements included in the “Authorized Investments” section of this policy are designed to mitigate credit risk in the portfolio. No more than 5% of the total portfolio may be deposited with or invested in securities issued by any single issuer, with the exception of US Treasuries, Agencies, Supranationals, mutual funds, money market mutual funds, LGIPs, and JPAs, or unless otherwise specified in this policy.
The City may elect to sell a security prior to its maturity and record a capital gain or loss in order to manage the quality, liquidity or yield of the portfolio in response to market conditions or the City’s risk preferences.
If a security owned by the City is downgraded to a level below the requirements of this policy, making the security ineligible for additional purchases, the following steps will be taken:
Any actions taken related to the downgrade by the investment manager will be communicated to the City Treasurer in a timely manner.
If a decision is made to retain the security, the credit situation will be monitored and reported to the City Council.
MITIGATING MARKET RISK IN THE PORTFOLIO
Market risk is the risk that the portfolio value will fluctuate due to changes in the general level of interest rates. The City recognizes that, over time, longer-term portfolios have the potential to achieve higher returns. On the other hand, longer-term portfolios have higher City of Compton
2026-2027 Investment Policy
15 of 21
volatility of return. The City will mitigate market risk by providing adequate liquidity for short-term cash needs, and by making longer-term investments only with funds that are not needed for current cash flow purposes.
The City further recognizes that certain types of securities, including variable rate securities, securities with principal paydowns prior to maturity, and securities with embedded options, will affect the market risk profile of the portfolio differently in different interest rate environments. The City, therefore, adopts the following strategies to control and mitigate its exposure to market risk:
The City will maintain a minimum of six months of budgeted operating expenditures in short-term investments to provide sufficient liquidity for expected disbursements. The maximum stated final maturity of individual securities in the portfolio will be five (5) years, except as otherwise stated in this policy.
The duration of the portfolio will generally be approximately equal to the duration (typically, plus or minus 20%) of a Market Benchmark, an index selected by the City based on the City’s investment objectives, constraints and risk tolerances.
XVI. REVIEW OF INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
The City Treasurer shall periodically, but no less than quarterly, review the portfolio to identify investments that do not comply with this investment policy and establish protocols for reporting major and critical incidences of noncompliance to the City Council.
XVII. PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
The investment portfolio shall be designed to attain a market-average rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the City’s risk constraints, the cash flow characteristics of the portfolio, and state and local laws, ordinances or resolutions that restrict investments.
The City Treasurer shall monitor and evaluate the portfolio’s performance relative to the chosen market benchmark(s), which will be included in the City Treasurer’s quarterly report. The City Treasurer shall select an appropriate, readily available index to use as a market benchmark. Benchmarks may change over time based on changes in market conditions or cash flow requirements.
XVIII. REPORTING
MONTHLY REPORTS
Monthly transaction reports will be submitted by the City Treasurer to the City Council in accordance with California Government Code Section 53607.

2. Transactions for the period.
3. A description of the funds, investments and programs (including lending programs) managed by contracted parties (i.e. LAIF; investment pools, outside money managers and securities lending agents)

6. A statement that the City has adequate funds to meet its cash flow requirements for the next six months.
ANNUAL REPORTS
A comprehensive annual report will be presented to the City Council. This report will include comparisons of the City’s return to the market benchmark return, suggest policies and improvements that might enhance the investment program, and will include an investment plan for the coming year.
XIX. REVIEW OF INVESTMENT POLICY
The investment policy will be reviewed and adopted at least annually within 120 days of the end of the fiscal year, to ensure its consistency with the overall objectives of preservation of principal, liquidity and return, and its relevance to current law and financial and economic trends.

AGENCIES. Shorthand market terminology for any obligation issued by a government-sponsored entity (GSE), or a federally related institution. Most obligations of GSEs are not guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the US government. Examples are:
FFCB. The Federal Farm Credit Bank System provides credit and liquidity in the agricultural industry. FFCB issues discount notes and bonds.
FHLB. The Federal Home Loan Bank provides credit and liquidity in the housing market. FHLB issues discount notes and bonds.
FHLMC. Like FHLB, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation provides credit and liquidity in the housing market. FHLMC, also called “Freddie Mac” issues discount notes, bonds and mortgage pass-through securities.
FNMA. Like FHLB and FreddieMac, the Federal National Mortgage Association was established to provide credit and liquidity in the housing market. FNMA, also known as “Fannie Mae,” issues discount notes, bonds and mortgage pass-through securities.
GNMA. The Government National Mortgage Association, known as “Ginnie Mae,” issues mortgage pass-through securities, which are guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the US Government.
PEFCO. The Private Export Funding Corporation assists exporters. Obligations of PEFCO are not guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the US government.
TVA. The Tennessee Valley Authority provides flood control and power and promotes development in portions of the Tennessee, Ohio, and Mississippi River valleys. TVA currently issues discount notes and bonds.
ASSET BACKED SECURITIES. Securities supported by pools of installment loans or leases or by pools of revolving lines of credit.
AVERAGE LIFE. In mortgage-related investments, including CMOs, the average time to expected receipt of principal payments, weighted by the amount of principal expected.

MAKE WHOLE CALL. A type of call provision on a bond that allows the issuer to pay off the remaining debt early. Unlike a call option, with a make whole call provision, the issuer makes a lump sum payment that equals the net present value (NPV) of future coupon payments that will not be paid because of the call. With this type of call, an investor is compensated, or "made whole." MARGIN. The difference between the market value of a security and the loan a broker makes using that security as collateral.

MUNICIPAL SECURITIES. Securities issued by state and local agencies to finance capital and operating expenses.
MUTUAL FUND. An entity which pools the funds of investors and invests those funds in a set of securities which is specifically defined in the fund’s prospectus.

For most large, institutional investors, the costs associated with investing in mutual funds are higher than the investor can obtain through an individually managed portfolio.
NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED STATISTICAL RATING ORGANIZATION (NRSRO). A credit rating agency that the Securities and Exchange Commission in the United States uses for regulatory purposes.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (SEC). The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is an independent federal government agency responsible for protecting investors, maintaining fair and orderly functioning of securities markets and facilitating capital formation.

U.S. TREASURY OBLIGATIONS. Securities issued by the U.S. Treasury and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. Treasuries are considered to have no credit risk and are the benchmark for interest rates on all other securities in the US and overseas. The Treasury issues both discounted securities and fixed coupon notes and bonds.
TREASURY BILLS. All securities issued with initial maturities of one year or less are issued as discounted instruments and are called Treasury bills.

CONSISTENT WITH THE AGREEMENT IN THE AMOUNTS OF
$165,900.00 FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026–2027, $108,000.00 FOR FISCAL YEAR 2027–2028, AND $108,000.00 FOR FISCAL YEAR 2028–2029, SUBJECT TO ANNUAL CITY COUNCIL BUDGET APPROPRIATIONS.
SUMMARY
Adoption of this resolution will authorize the City Manager to enter into a multi-year Professional Services Agreement with GovWell Technologies, Inc. (“GovWell”) for provision of an integrated, cloud-based software platform to support the Development service departments, which include: Planning, Building and Safety, Public Works, Fire Permits, Business Licensing, and Code Enforcement. The agreement includes software subscriptions, deployment services, data migration, staff training, and ongoing technical support.
The agreement has an initial term of three (3) years. Any renewal beyond the initial term shall be subject to the terms of the Professional Services Agreement and annual City Council budget appropriations. The first-year cost of the agreement is $165,900.00, which includes one-time deployment services, data migration, software subscriptions, staff training, and implementation services. Funding for the first year is available in the current fiscal year budget. Annual software subscription costs of $108,000.00 for Years 2 and 3 shall be subject to City Council budget appropriations and issuance of future purchase orders.
BACKGROUND
The City of Compton currently utilizes the OnLine Solutions (“Citizen Serve”) platform to support permitting, inspections, planning, business licensing, and code enforcement activities across multiple departments. The system has served as a centralized tool for managing regulatory processes and public-facing applications. As departmental
18.18.18.18.18. Staff Report – Resolution Authorizing Contract GovWell Technologies, Inc. Software
September 15, 2026, Page 2 of 4
operations, service expectations, and technology standards have evolved, the City has evaluated opportunities to modernize its software environment to improve workflow efficiency, system functionality, and user experience. GovWell Technologies, Inc. provides a cloud-based municipal software platform that supports integrated permitting, licensing, and regulatory management functions aligned with the City’s current and future operational needs.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The City’s existing permitting and regulatory software program, OnLine Solutions (“CitizenServe”), no longer fully supports the City’s evolving operational and technological needs and is functionally obsolete. While the system has delivered functional value, departments have identified limitations affecting workflow efficiency, system flexibility, reporting capabilities, and scalability. To improve service delivery, operational efficiency, and alignment with modern municipal technology practices, staff recommends adopting the GovWell Technologies, Inc. platform. Transitioning to a modernized system will improve departmental functionality, enhance user experience, and provide greater long-term adaptability for the City’s permitting processes.
SOLICITATION PROCESS
In accordance with the City of Compton’s purchasing policies, staff conducted an informal solicitation process by obtaining written quotes from three (3) qualified municipal software vendors for integrated permitting, planning, code enforcement, and business licensing software. The purpose of the solicitation was to evaluate each vendor’s functionality, implementation services, and overall cost in relation to the City’s operational needs.
The vendor quotes received are summarized below:
Contractor Vendor Quote
Accela, Inc $640,000.00
Citizen Serve $94,500.00
GovWell Technologies, Inc $381,900.00
After review and evaluation of the proposals received, staff determined that GovWell Technologies, Inc. provided the most responsive and cost-effective solution to meet the City’s current and future operational needs. Staff therefore recommends entering into the proposed Professional Services Agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost structure associated with the Professional Services Agreement with GovWell Technologies, Inc. is as follows:

Scope of Work
Deployment Services, Data Migration Services, & Ongoing Support
This Scope of Work (“SOW”) outlines the services to be provided by GovWell in connection with the implementation of its software platform for the Customer, as well as the ongoing support and maintenance services that follow. It also defines the responsibilities of both the Customer and GovWell to ensure a smooth and effective onboarding experience and continued successful use of the platform. This SOW is incorporated into and governed by the terms of the applicable Order Form.
1. Deployment Services
GovWell and the Customer will collaborate to deploy the GovWell software platform for the Customer’s use. A dedicated GovWell Deployment Strategist will be assigned to the Customer to coordinate the deployment process and manage the activities necessary to ensure successful go-live of the platform (the “Deployment Services”).
1.1 Scope
The following outlines the services and responsibilities included within the scope of this engagement.
These items define the core activities that GovWell and the Customer will undertake to successfully deploy the GovWell platform.
• Regular meetings with GovWell Deployment Strategist. Mutual consultations between Customer and the GovWell Deployment Strategist will be conducted via Zoom to define and document Customer’s goals, timelines, and workflows; demonstrate deployment progress; and gather and incorporate Customer feedback throughout the deployment process.
• System configuration. GovWell will configure the software to reasonably align with the Customer’s expressed needs, including setup of the online portal, relevant modules, workflows, forms, document templates, fee structures, inspection settings, user roles and permissions, and other applicable system components. While every effort will be made to reflect the Customer’s requirements, configurations will be based on a commercially reasonable interpretation of those needs within the capabilities of the platform.
• Staff training. GovWell to conduct virtual training sessions for Customer staff via Zoom.
Training sessions are limited to the quantity and duration specified in the Order Form. GovWell will also provide a library of digital training materials and guides, including video demonstrations of key functionality.
• Integration with Geographic Information System (GIS). GovWell will reach out to the Customer’s designated GIS contact to initiate integration efforts. The Customer is responsible for providing accurate contact information, facilitating introductions, and ensuring their GIS team provides all necessary data in a timely manner. GovWell’s ability to integrate is directly dependent on the completeness and responsiveness of the information shared by the Customer’s GIS team. Timely access and communication are essential to ensure a smooth integration.
• Configuration of online payment processing through GovWell. The Customer is responsible for completing all onboarding forms required by GovWell’s integrated payment processor, Finix.
GovWell does not support the use of alternative payment processors.
Professional Services Agreement – GovWell Technologies Inc.
ACTIVE/204102826.2 16
1.2 Timeline
GovWell is committed to bringing the Customer live as quickly as possible and will make commercially reasonable efforts to do so. While the deployment timeline will be discussed and generally targeted during the deployment kickoff meeting, the inherently variable nature of deployment processes means that no specific timeline is guaranteed. GovWell is not responsible for delays resulting from incomplete or inaccurate inputs, delayed responses, or changes in the availability of key Customer personnel, including due to vacations, leave, or other time off. Consultant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to achieve implementation and system go-live within the mutually agreed project schedule established during project kickoff.
1.3 Customer Responsibilities
Customer acknowledges that active, timely participation from Customer is necessary to achieve a smooth and effective deployment. Customer responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
• Assign a primary point of contact for each software module to coordinate deployment activities. • Participate in scheduled virtual meetings with the GovWell Deployment Strategist. • Submit all requested information and materials in the required formats and within specified timeframes.
• Review and test configurations, provide feedback and approvals to GovWell promptly. • Complete all onboarding forms required by GovWell’s integrated payment processor, Finix (GovWell does not support alternative payment processors). • Facilitate an introduction to a point of contact responsible for GIS.
1.4 Exclusions & Terms
• Deployment Services do not include custom application development or third-party integrations (other than the ones specified in Section 1.1 (Scope).
• Additional Deployment Services beyond the initial scope may be subject to additional fees specified in section 4 of this SOW.
2. Data Migration Services
GovWell and the Customer will collaborate to migrate the Customer’s data into the GovWell software platform for the modules specified in the Order Form. A dedicated GovWell Data Expert will be assigned to coordinate the data migration process and manage the activities necessary to prepare the Customer’s data for use within the platform (the “Data Migration Services”).
2.1 Scope
The following outlines the services and responsibilities included within the scope of this engagement.
These items define the core activities that GovWell and the Customer will undertake to successfully migrate data into GovWell.
• Review and consultation with a GovWell Data Expert to determine project goals, which legacy data is relevant for migration, and appropriate mappings from into GovWell database model. • Preparation of a written data migration plan for Customer approval. • One-time import of structured tabular data into GovWell.
Professional Services Agreement – GovWell Technologies Inc.
ACTIVE/204102826.2 17
2.2 Customer Responsibilities
Customer acknowledges that active, timely participation from Customer is required to achieve a smooth and effective data migration. Customer responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
• Primary point of contact. Assign a primary point of contact to coordinate data migration activities in collaboration with GovWell representatives. • Data extraction and transfer. Customer will extract or export source data from legacy systems and transfer to GovWell in structured file formats (e.g., CSV, Excel). GovWell requires two main exports: one export for analysis and planning, and a final export immediately prior to migration.
If files are included in the Order Form, Customer will extract and transfer files and attachments to GovWell via SSH File Transfer Protocol or Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP). If Customer cannot export source data independently, Customer will be solely responsible for coordinating with their current software vendor to obtain the necessary data. • Meeting participation. Participate in scheduled virtual meetings with a GovWell Data Expert to consult on project goals, answer questions, and facilitate the mapping of source data to the GovWell data model.
• Migration Plan Approval. The Customer is responsible for carefully reviewing the written data migration plan and must digitally approve it prior to execution. By approving the plan, the Customer acknowledges that the accuracy, completeness, and alignment of the migration with their expectations are their sole responsibility. GovWell is not liable for any errors, omissions, or outcomes resulting from decisions made or information provided by the Customer. In the event of adverse consequences arising from the approved plan, GovWell will make commercially reasonable efforts to remediate the issue; however, additional costs may apply. • Complete migration tasks. GovWell will make reasonable efforts to place migrated records in the appropriate steps within workflows and minimize the work required by Customer. However, limitations in the source data—such as missing or incompatible information—may prevent certain records from being automatically mapped into the current workflows. In these cases, Customers may be responsible for manually moving records to the correct workflow steps, validating data accuracy, and relocating attachments as needed.
2.3 Exclusions & Terms
In connection with GovWell’s standard data migration services, the following are not in scope:
• Verification of source data accuracy, completeness, or quality. • Data cleaning or validation of source data (e.g., spelling corrections, field splitting, schema mismatch resolution).
• Digitization of physical documents.
• Transforming scanned or handwritten documents into structured data. • Imports of data that lack sufficient detail to generate a complete and usable entity in GovWell, such as a permit without a permit number or an inspection without a date of completion. • Training sessions for Customer residents or the public. • Additional Deployment Services beyond the scope may be subject to additional fees specified in section 4 of this SOW.
2.4 Timelines
GovWell is committed to making the data migration process as smooth and efficient as possible and will make commercially reasonable efforts to support Customer throughout. While timelines will be established and generally targeted during the deployment kickoff meeting, the complexity and variability of data migration means that no specific timeline or outcome can be guaranteed. GovWell is not responsible for delays or limitations resulting from incomplete, inconsistent, or improperly formatted Professional Services Agreement – GovWell Technologies Inc.
ACTIVE/204102826.2 18
source data, lack of access to required systems, or delays in Customer responses or availability— including due to vacations, leave, or other time off taken by key Customer personnel. This also includes situations where third-party vendors fail to provide data in a timely manner or where the Customer provides critical data, such as large files or datasets, at the last minute (e.g., under 5 days before the scheduled migration). Such circumstances can impact the migration timeline and overall project success, and any resulting delays or additional costs will not be the responsibility of GovWell.
To maintain the integrity and accuracy of the data migration, all configuration changes must be completed prior to the migration process. Because many configuration changes commonly occur after go-live as the platform is fine-tuned to meet the Customer’s needs (e.g. modifying the process for a Solar Panel permit or adding required inspections for an Electrical permit), GovWell schedules data migration to take place only after the platform has gone live with the finalized configuration. Performing data migration before finalizing these changes risks data inconsistencies and errors, which can lead to significant additional work and may result in additional fees. This approach helps ensure a clean, reliable migration and a stable platform for ongoing use.
There will be a minimum of five (5) business days between GovWell’s receipt of final data and the point at which that data will be accessible and usable within the GovWell system.
Longer timeframes may result from:
• Incomplete or incorrect file formatting.
• Customer-requested changes to migration plan or platform configuration. • Transfer issues or SFTP protocol delays.
2.5 Limitations
Customer acknowledges that GovWell is not responsible for the quality, completeness, or accuracy of the source data provided for migration. The quality of the source data can directly impact the quality of the data as it appears and functions within the GovWell platform. Data migrations are inherently imperfect, and not all data or structures from legacy systems can be mapped precisely to the new environment.
While GovWell will make commercially reasonable efforts to ensure a successful and functional migration, some migrated records may not process as expected. This may include data appearing differently than in the original system, missing or partially mapped fields, or workflows and automations not functioning as intended.
2.6 Post-Migration Support and Customer Responsibilities Customer is responsible for carefully reviewing the migration plan to ensure it aligns with their expectations and digitally signing prior to execution. Any data not listed in the migration plan will not be migrated by GovWell. Following the completion of the data migration, GovWell is committed to supporting Customer in addressing issues that may arise, including assisting with reasonable data adjustments if certain records did not migrate as intended. GovWell will make good faith efforts to resolve issues resulting from errors or discrepancies within the scope of the approved plan. Any post- migration adjustments must be scheduled in advance and are subject to GovWell’s availability.
Significant or time-intensive requests may incur additional charges, as outlined in section 4 of the SOW.
2.7 Service Hours
Data migration service hours are limited to the number of hours specified in the applicable Order Form.
These hours cover all activities related to the data migration process, including planning, execution, validation, issue resolution, and consultations. Any services requested beyond the allotted hours may be subject to additional fees, as outlined in section 4 of this SOW.
Professional Services Agreement – GovWell Technologies Inc.
ACTIVE/204102826.2 19
2.8 Data Security
• If data that Customer intends to migrate contains Sensitive Personally Identifiable Information (SPII), Customer must notify GovWell in advance of sharing the data. SPII includes, but is not limited to, Social Security Numbers, Federal Tax Identification Numbers, Employer Identification Numbers, and other sensitive personal or organizational identifiers. • All SPII must be transferred via GovWell’s secure SFTP channel. • GovWell is not responsible for data exposure resulting from insecure transmission methods (e.g., email).
3. Continuous Deployment & Product Support Services
GovWell will collaborate with the Customer to provide ongoing support and ensure the GovWell software platform continues to meet Customer’s needs following deployment. A new GovWell Deployment Strategist will be assigned after go-live to coordinate support activities and manage the services necessary to ensure the continued successful use and optimization of the platform. In addition to this service, GovWell also offers regular product support channels to address general inquiries, technical issues, and troubleshooting needs.
3.1 Overview
Following the initial deployment, GovWell will provide ongoing support to help the Customer maintain effective use of the platform. This includes two types of services: (1) Continuous Deployment Services:
for configuration changes, training, and strategic guidance, and (2) Product Support: for general inquiries, technical support and issue resolution. GovWell may adjust the nature and frequency of these support activities over time based on the Customer’s usage of the platform and evolving needs.
3.2 Scope
Requests involving configuration changes, consultations, or training sessions may count against the Customer’s allotted Continuous Deployment Services hours as outlined in the Order Form. Technical support inquiries—such as those related to login issues, bug reports, or basic troubleshooting—are not counted against service hours and are addressed through GovWell’s regular support channels.
All major service requests submitted through any channel—regardless of whether routed through Deployment Strategists or general support—will be assessed for inclusion in Deployment Services hours.
Any services requested beyond the allotted hours may be subject to additional fees, as outlined in Section 4 of this SOW. GovWell will notify Customer in advance of reaching their service hour limit.
The following activities are included in Continuous Deployment Services:
• Configuration changes: Any updates to settings, record types, workflows, fields, templates, etc. • Consultations: Strategic guidance, best practices, and process mapping. • Training sessions: Live or recorded training for new staff, refresher sessions, or training on specific modules or features.
• Other service-related tasks: Any request that requires a GovWell team member to perform work beyond a basic fix or answer, for example: correcting misentered data, adjusting a process flow, or preparing a custom report.
The following are not included in Continuous Deployment Services, and are covered by Product Support:
• Bug reports and resolution.
• Login/access issues.
• Basic troubleshooting and how-to questions (e.g., "How do I export a report?").

ACTIVE/204102826.2 20
4. Out-of-Scope Services & Hourly Rates
GovWell is committed to delivering successful Deployment, Data Migration, Continuous Deployment, and Product Support services within the scope and hours outlined in the Order Form. GovWell understands that needs may evolve and additional work may sometimes be necessary to ensure a smooth experience. If the required effort exceeds the included hours or scope, GovWell will communicate with the Customer before proceeding. Any work beyond the agreed scope will only move forward with mutual consent and may be billed at GovWell’s standard rates as a last resort. • Deployment Services: $150 per hour
• Data Migration Services: $200 per hour
• Continuous Deployment Services: $150 per hour

TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: A DISCUSSION AND REVIEW OF THE AMENDED AND RESTATED CONTRACT WITH CONDOLIDATED DISPOSAL SERVICE, LLC., DBA
REPUPLIC SERVICES LLC., TO EXTEND THE AGREEMENT FOR FIVE (5) YEARS
SUMMARY
Adoption of this Resolution will authorize the City Council to consider whether to accept or reject the automatic renewal provisions contained in the Second Amendment to the Amended and Restated Agreement for Solid Waste and Recyclable Materials Handling Services with Republic Services. The Resolution authorizes the City Manager, or designee, to implement the direction provided by the City Council, including allowing the Agreement to automatically renew for an additional five-year term, from January 1, 2028 through December 31, 2032, or instead, providing written notice to Republic Services should the City Council elect to exercise its contractual right to opt out of the automatic renewal.
BACKGROUND
The Compton Municipal Water Department (Department) is responsible for overseeing the City’s exclusive franchise waste hauler, Republic Services LLC. Republic Services is responsible for providing all residents, multi-family properties, and commercial businesses with Senate Bill 1383 (SB 1383) compliant services.
The City Council of the City of Compton is authorized pursuant to Chapter XXI of the Compton Municipal Code and Article 4 of Chapter 6, Part 3, Division 5 of the California Health and Safety Code, commencing with Section 5470, to levy annual charges for solid waste and recyclable material handling services and collect delinquent accounts on the Los Angeles County Tax Roll (“Tax Roll”).
Section 2.4 of the Second Amendment to the Amended and Restated Agreement establishes the term of the Agreement and provides that:
"The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and expire on December 31, 2027, and shall automatically renew on January 1, 2028, for an additional five (5)-year term ending December 31, 2032, unless the City gives written notice to opt out of the extension by providing written notice to the Company between August 1, 2026 and August 1, 2027."
Accordingly, the City has a one-year contractual window in which it may notify Republic Services that it does not wish to extend the Agreement. If no notice is provided during that period, the Agreement will automatically renew through December 31, 2032.

The Scope of Work included:
i. Providing mandatory trash, recycling, and organics services. ii. Providing education and outreach through billing inserts, presentations, and community involvement.
iii. Conducting site visits to commercial generators and edible food generators. iv. Contamination monitoring.
v. Coordinating with City representatives regarding billing. vi. Providing the City with monthly reports including information on tonnage, diversion, customer complaints, and bulky pickups.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The Waste Division has reviewed the Agreement and determined that the current contract contains an automatic renewal provision requiring Council consideration before the contractual notice period expires between August 1, 2026 and August 1, 2027.
This item is being presented to the City Council to obtain policy direction regarding the future of the City's exclusive solid waste franchise agreement.
In evaluating whether to continue or terminate the Agreement at the end of its current term, the City Council may wish to consider several factors, including:
Republic Services' historical compliance with contractual performance standards; customer service responsiveness and complaint resolution; collection reliability and operational performance; the company's ability to maintain adequate inventory levels and timely provide residential waste, recycling, and organics carts to customers, including instances where prolonged inventory shortages have delayed new or replacement cart deliveries; compliance with State laws, including Senate Bill 1383 and other CalRecycle requirements; financial considerations, including rate adjustments and franchise fee revenues; capital investments and equipment replacement commitments; the City's long- term solid waste management objectives; and whether a competitive procurement process would better serve the City's interests.
Should the Council elect to exercise the City's contractual right to opt out, staff would return with recommendations regarding the procurement of future waste collection services and the development of a Request for Proposals (RFP) to ensure uninterrupted service after December 31, 2027.
If the Council elects to allow the Agreement to continue, no further action would be required, and the Agreement would automatically renew for an additional five-year term.
FISCAL IMPACT
This item has no fiscal impact on the 2026-2027 Fiscal Year’s budget. Should the City elect to pursue a competitive procurement process, staff will return to the City Council with any budgetary impacts associated with consultant services, legal review, and procurement activities.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council discuss the automatic renewal provisions of the Agreement and provide direction to the City Manager regarding whether to allow the Agreement to automatically renew for an additional five-year term or to exercise the City's contractual right to opt out of the automatic renewal pursuant to Section 2.4 of the Agreement.

WHEREAS, the City Council desires to review the terms and conditions of the Agreement, including the automatic renewal provisions contained in Section 2.4, and determine whether allowing the Agreement to renew or exercising the contractual opt- out provision best serves the interests of the City and its residents.
