SUMMARY
This resolution authorizes a Purchase Order not to exceed $25,000 to Office Depot Business Solutions (“ODP”) for procurement of essential office supplies for the Human Resources Department for Fiscal Year 2026-2027. City-wide expenditures for ODP have exceeded the $50,000.00 purchasing authority threshold for the current fiscal year, established by Resolution 26,100, requiring City Council authorization for the issuance of this additional Purchase Order.
BACKGROUND
Office Depot Business Solutions (“ODP”) is a provider of office supplies and related products. The Human Resources Department relies on ODP for the ongoing procurement of essential office supplies necessary to support daily administrative operations, including personnel management, recruitment, labor relations, and other departmental functions.
During Fiscal Year 2026-2027, City-wide expenditures to ODP have exceeded the threshold, as evidenced by Resolution 26,100. Accordingly, City Council authorization is required prior to the issuance of a Purchase Order to ODP for the remainder of the current fiscal year. The Human Resources Department requires this Purchase Order to ensure the uninterrupted procurement of office supplies through the end of Fiscal Year 2026- 2027.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
During the current fiscal Year 2026-2027, City expenditures for ODP have exceeded the purchasing authority threshold of $50,000.00 established by Resolution 26,100, thereby requiring City Council authorization for the issuance of an additional Purchase Order.

AMENDING THE PUBLIC WORKS ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT FY
2026-2027 BUDGET TO ACCEPT AND APPROPRIATE $122,258 IN
LOS ANGELES COUNTY METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION
AUTHORITY (LACMTA) PROPOSITION A DISCRETIONARY
INCENTIVE PROGRAM FUNDS AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY
MANAGER TO EXECUTE A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
WITH LACMTA FOR RECEIPT OF NATIONAL TRANSIT DATABASE
INCENTIVE FUNDS
SUMMARY
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution amending the Public Works Engineering Department’s FY 2026-2027 budget to accept and appropriate $122,258 in Proposition A Discretionary Incentive Program funds from the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA). The funds are awarded in recognition of the City of Compton’s successful collection and reporting of transit service data to the National Transit Database (NTD) for Fiscal Year 2023-2024.
Staff further recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute the associated Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with LACMTA to receive the awarded funds. Acceptance of these funds provides a new revenue source to support transit-related improvements without impacting the City’s General Fund.
BACKGROUND
In November 1980, Los Angeles County voters approved Proposition A, which established a one-half-cent sales tax dedicated to public transportation improvements throughout the County. To encourage local transit operators to participate in federal transit reporting efforts, LACMTA established the Proposition A Discretionary Incentive Program in 2001. The program rewards transit operators whose data submissions to the National Transit Database generate Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 5307 funding for the Los Angeles County region.
The City of Compton operates locally funded fixed-route transit services and participates in the regional NTD reporting program. Through this program, LACMTA compiles and submits transit performance data on behalf of participating municipal operators, helping maximize the region’s federal transit funding allocation. Participating agencies receive a proportional share of Proposition A Discretionary Incentive Program funds based on the transit service data they report.
6. Staff Report – Accept and Appropriate LACMTA Proposition A Discretionary Incentive Program Funds and Authorize a Memorandum of Understanding with LACMTA October 20, 2026, Page 2 of 3
The City successfully completed all required NTD reporting and Federal Transit Administration compliance requirements for FY 2023-2024, making the City eligible to receive incentive funding under the program.
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
On June 26, 2025, the LACMTA Board of Directors approved FY 2025-2026 transit fund allocations, including Proposition A Discretionary Incentive Program awards for cities that voluntarily submitted FY 2023-2024 NTD data. Based on the City’s reported 181,041 revenue vehicle miles of motor bus service, the City of Compton was awarded $122,258.
To receive the award, the City must execute the attached MOU with LACMTA. The MOU establishes the terms and conditions governing receipt and use of the funds and requires that expenditures comply with applicable Proposition A and Proposition C Local Return guidelines. Eligible uses include projects and programs that support public transportation and improve transit safety, accessibility, mobility, and service quality.
City Council approval is required to amend the FY 2026-2027 budget, appropriate the awarded funds, and authorize execution of the MOU.
FISCAL IMPACT
Acceptance of the award will increase revenue and expenditure appropriations in the amount of $122,258 as follows:
Increase Revenue
Account Number Description Amount
2000-000-000-3577 Other Agencies - MTA $122,258
Increase Expenditure
Proposition A - Discretionary Incentive Grant Program (MOU No. MOUPAICOMP26000) Account Number Description Amount
2000-710-000-4266 Contract Services $122,258
The appropriated funds will be used for eligible public transit purposes consistent with Proposition A and Proposition C Local Return Guidelines and City budgetary procedures. Specific expenditures will be identified and brought forward through future budgetary and procurement processes, as applicable. Funds will be budgeted within the Public Works Engineering Department FY 2026-2027 budget and will be available upon approval of the proposed budget amendment.
Staff Report – Accept and Appropriate LACMTA Proposition A Discretionary Incentive Program Funds and Authorize a Memorandum of Understanding with LACMTA October 20, 2026, Page 3 of 3
ALTERNATIVE
The City Council may elect not to approve the proposed budget amendment and MOU.
However, such action would result in the City foregoing $122,258 in available transitrelated funding. Staff does not recommend this alternative.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached resolution amending the Public Works Engineering Department FY 2026-2027 budget to accept and appropriate $122,258 in Proposition A Discretionary Incentive Program funds from LACMTA.
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the Memorandum of Understanding with LACMTA for receipt of the awarded funds and to take all actions necessary to implement the agreement.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS

INTERIM CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON
ACCEPTING THE PROPOSAL OF BUCKNAM INFRASTRUCTURE
GROUP, INC.; AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT AND ESTABLISH A
PURCHASE ORDER IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $79,677 FOR
PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT PROGRAM SERVICES
SUMMARY
This Resolution requests that the City Council accept the proposal submitted by Bucknam Infrastructure Group, Inc. and authorize the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement and establish a purchase order in an amount not to exceed $79,677 for professional services to update the City’s Pavement Management Program (PMP). The PMP update will evaluate current roadway conditions, update the City’s pavement inventory and maintenance records, establish pavement condition ratings, and develop cost-effective maintenance and rehabilitation strategies to support future capital improvement planning and compliance with Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) requirements.
BACKGROUND
The City’s Pavement Management Program serves as a comprehensive planning tool used to assess pavement conditions, prioritize roadway maintenance and rehabilitation projects, optimize the use of limited funding resources, and support long-term infrastructure investment decisions. The PMP also provides documentation necessary to demonstrate compliance with Metro funding requirements and supports applications for various state, regional, and federal transportation funding opportunities.
Pavement infrastructure continuously deteriorates due to traffic loading, weather conditions, and aging. Industry best practices recommend updating pavement management data on a regular basis, typically every three years, to ensure that roadway condition assessments, maintenance histories, and funding strategies remain accurate and reliable.
On September 3, 2024, pursuant to Resolution No. 26,108, the City Council adopted the 2024-2029 Pavement Management Program update. As part of that effort, Bucknam Infrastructure Group, Inc. conducted a citywide pavement condition assessment, updated the City’s MicroPAVER database, prepared Metro-compliant pavement reports,
7. Staff Report – Professional Services Agreement with Bucknam Infrastructure Group to update the Pavement Management Plan
October 20, 2026, Page 2 of 4
and developed long-term maintenance and rehabilitation recommendations for the City’s roadway network.
The City currently maintains approximately 173 centerline miles of public roadways. To maintain the accuracy and effectiveness of the PMP, the City must update its pavement condition data, maintenance history records, and funding projections.
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
The City’s continued eligibility for various transportation funding programs depends, in part, upon maintaining an up-to-date Pavement Management Program that satisfies Metro pavement management requirements. An updated PMP also supports applications for discretionary funding opportunities, including Metro Call for Projects grants and various state and federal transportation programs.
On April 14, 2026, the Public Works Engineering Department received a proposal from Bucknam Infrastructure Group, Inc. to provide professional pavement management services for Fiscal Year 2026-27. The proposed scope of work includes:
Updating the City’s MicroPAVER pavement management database. Incorporating maintenance and rehabilitation work history completed between 2023-2026.
Conducting pavement condition surveys on approximately 215 miles of arterial, collector, and local streets.
Generating updated Pavement Condition Index (PCI) ratings for all roadway segments.
Verifying pavement inventory and GIS mapping information. Developing five-year capital improvement and maintenance recommendations. Preparing Metro-compliant pavement management reports and budget scenarios.
Updating the City’s MyRoads® pavement management web portal.
The proposed project is anticipated to be completed within approximately nine months following issuance of a Notice to Proceed, with final reporting expected in 2027. Upon completion of the update, staff will return to the City Council with a separate item seeking approval and adoption of the updated Pavement Management Program.
Staff recommends retaining Bucknam Infrastructure Group, Inc. because the firm has provided pavement management services to the City since 2013, including PMP updates completed in 2020 and 2023. In 2013, the City competitively solicited pavement management services and received six proposals, with Bucknam selected based on its qualifications and proposed approach. The firm developed, maintains, and periodically updates the City’s existing MicroPAVER database, pavement inventory, GIS integrations, and pavement condition history. Through its longstanding work with the City, Bucknam has developed extensive institutional knowledge regarding the City’s Staff Report – Professional Services Agreement with Bucknam Infrastructure Group to update the Pavement Management Plan
October 20, 2026, Page 3 of 4
roadway network, maintenance history, pavement management methodologies, and Metro reporting requirements.
Consistent with Section 4-11.7(d) of the Compton Municipal Code, professional services contracts may be awarded based on demonstrated competence and professional qualifications necessary for satisfactory performance of the required services at a fair and reasonable price. Staff determined that continuity of data, institutional knowledge, and maintenance of the City’s existing pavement management database are critical to the successful completion of the PMP update. Retaining Bucknam will help ensure consistency with previous PMP updates, maintain data integrity, minimize transition costs, and avoid unnecessary duplication of effort that could result from engaging a new consultant unfamiliar with the City’s pavement management system and historical data.
FISCAL IMPACT
No additional appropriation is required. The expenditure will be funded through Account No. 1900-710-000-4262 within the adopted Fiscal Year 2026-27 Public Works Engineering Department budget. The proposed Professional Services Agreement is structured as a not-to-exceed contract amount of $79,677.
Staff has reviewed the proposed scope of work and fee proposal and determined that the proposed compensation is fair and reasonable. The City previously engaged Bucknam to perform PMP updates in 2020 for $67,057 and in 2023 for $66,794. The proposed not-to-exceed amount of $79,677 represents an increase of approximately
19.3 percent over the 2023 PMP update and reflects inflationary cost increases, expanded reporting and database management requirements, continued maintenance of the City’s pavement management platform, and enhanced scope of services included in the current update. Accordingly, staff finds the proposed compensation to be reasonable and in the best interest of the City.
ALTERNATIVE
The City Council may elect not to approve the proposed agreement; however, doing so would delay the City’s PMP update and could adversely affect the City’s ability to maintain current pavement condition data, optimize roadway maintenance investments, and demonstrate compliance with Metro pavement management requirements.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution:
1. Accepting the proposal from Bucknam Infrastructure Group, Inc.;
2. Authorizing the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement in an amount not to exceed $79,677; and

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, 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 subcontractors. The insurance will be obtained from an insurance carrier admitted and authorized to do business in the State of California. Such evidence shall specifically identify this Agreement and shall contain express conditions that the City is to be given written notice at least thirty (30) days in advance of any termination or implementation of a reduction of limits or material change of insurance coverage as specified herein. Failure on the part of the 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 coverage’s 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-designated insureds except for Workers Compensation 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.

Project Understanding / Scope of Work
City of Compton 1-1
2026-27 Pavement Management Program
Project Understanding / Approach
As the City of Compton infrastructure matures, the City’s staff is striving to update the City’s Pavement Management Program (PMP) through cost effective condition surveys, engineering cost evaluation, Arterial CIP and “neighborhood” budgetary reporting and work history updates within the PMP database. Bucknam’s experience through adherence to scope, schedule and cost have proven itself over the past thirteen (13) years of PMP service to Compton Public Works.
The City requires a team that will continue to not only resurvey the defined sections using costconscious methodologies but will create a comprehensive program that includes the enhancement of your multi-year PMP CIP, neighborhood maintenance, essential data for PS&E bid document preparation, stewardship of the PMP, GIS links to the PMP, and the knowledge of the inner workings of the MicroPAVER software.
Bucknam will provide these services through our proactive and accurate implementation of your PMP; we will address the City’s primary goals of:
• Updating MicroPAVER with 2026-27 inspections, work history and maintenance data; • Enhancing the Compton PMP database with 2023 to 2026 work history data entries; • Surveying 215 miles of Arterial, Collector and Localstreets; provide variance PCI reporting based upon 2023 PCI’s vs. 2026;
o Verifying / Updating pavement centerline and SF data (PMP vs. GIS); o Generating 2026-27 Pavement Condition Index (PCI) ratings for each segment; • Developing a proactive preventative slurry seal / overlay rehabilitation schedules based on existing capital funding;
• Establishing solid recommendations for current / future maintenance needs; • Utilizing the City’s existing funding to generate a baseline five (5) year Capital Improvement Program (CIP);
• Recommending alternative maintenance budgets that demonstrate realistic return-oninvestments (ROI), i.e., “Actual” budget model, Maintain PCI, Increase PCI models, etc. • Update of the City’s dynamic MyRoads® PMP web-portal application (see Task 4.6) We have defined detailed phases to the scope of work in accordance to the City’s goals;

2. Client Satisfaction
3. Project Schedule
4. Scope of Work (Major Tasks)
Project Understanding / Scope of Work
City of Compton 1-2
2026-27 Pavement Management Program
1) Project Implementation
TASK 1.1: Project Kickoff
The first step in implementing a successful pavement management program truly resides in frequent communication and timely scheduled data updates. For the City of Compton it will be essential to establish, up front, the Public Works CIP pavement management priorities. Our team will set a Project Kickoff meeting once the notice-to-proceed is given.
The essential PMP topics to be discussed will include the review and assessment of the existing MicroPAVER pavement plan/data, expectations of the project, METRO compliance, annual survey areas, new construction, PCI range/maintenance triggers, data quality and condition, current pavement procedures, review of schedule/budget and desired service levels.
During the project several project assessment meetings and project status meetings will be held to ensure that the major scope tasks and project schedule are being adhered too.
Deliverable: Meeting minutes, revised project schedule (if necessary) TASK 1.2: Project Status Meetings - Quality Control Program Status Meetings and Progress Reports
• Minimum of three meetings during the project (kickoff, field, and status meetings) – approx. eight (8) hours; Field review meetings; Monthly progress status reports will be delivered to City project manager.
Quality Control (QC)
We will use a statistical sampling approach for measuring the quality of our field technician’s work. In this manner, 10 percent of the original annual surveys will be resurveyed by an independent survey crew, supervised by a field supervisor, and the results will be compared to the original surveys (this will include 22 miles of arterial/collector/local QC). Our QC process involves checking the field crews’ work in a “blind study” fashion. Quality control checks will be performed to make sure that all field personnel are properly collecting distresses and pavement quantities for the defined street segments.
PCI variance reporting will be performed where previous PCI data will be compared to newly inspected 2026 PCI data; if PCI’s vary more than ten (10) points per year Bucknam staff will assess the potential cause through unrecorded work history, accelerated pavement deterioration, etc.
Since we are collecting distress information on our MicroPAVER field tablets with the Compton PMP database live, our staff will perform several quality control tests within the pavement management software using a sample set of the City of Compton’sstreet distress data.
Project Understanding / Scope of Work
City of Compton 1-3
2026-27 Pavement Management Program
This will ensure that all system and analysis settings as well as City recommendations / standards are being followed. Over the past two years, Bucknam has submitted over fifty (50) METRO/OCTA compliant reports for LA and Orange County municipalities, they include:
Our surveys follow the accepted ASTM D6433 procedure requirements. Our staff attends the OCTA PMP Distress Training Classes held in each year, 2011 thru 2026.
In February 2026 our staff was acknowledged as “qualified inspectors and firm” to prepare PMP’s compliant with the OCTA Countywide Pavement Management Guidelines (this certification/compliance runs through June 2028).
Additionally, Bucknam was selected by the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) in the Fall of 2022 to perform a 10-year Pavement Management Plan analysis on ALL 35 Orange County local agencies PMP’s.
2) Client Satisfaction
TASK 2.1: Project Deliverables
Shown throughout our Scope of Work, each Task is summarized with project deliverables.
Client satisfaction will derive from frequent communication with the Project Manager and key staff members from the Public Works department. Project success is created by delivering on three main factors;

TASK 3.1: Work Flow / Project Schedule
Our project schedule shows each major task identified in our scope of work, as well as quality control milestones and meetings. Bucknam currently has ample, certified staff to apply to this project in order to meet an aggressive schedule (three field technicians will drive the proactive schedule).
We anticipate the annual PMP services to start in June and will be completed by March of the following year. See key milestone dates from the project schedule below (fiscal year will change accordingly):
• Project Kickoff – November, 2026
• Survey Start / Completion – November, 2026 – February, 2027 • Delivery of draft PMP – March, 2027
• City comments returned to Consultant – late March, 2027 • Delivery of City CIP Final Report – late April, 2027
o All necessary METRO data, City reporting and revenue projections will be submitted May, 2027
• Publication of MyRoads PMP – Any time after acceptance of Final PMP o Exported copy of the MicroPAVER database will be delivered (.e70 file) o All pavement and GIS data pertinent to the project deliverables will be submitted with the Final PMP report
4) Scope of Work (Major Tasks)
TASK 4.1: Update Maintenance and Rehabilitation History The City will provide Bucknam a complete listing of all major work (overlay, slurry, etc.) in order to update specific section work histories and PCI ratings.
Project Understanding / Scope of Work
City of Compton 1-5
2026-27 Pavement Management Program
Bucknam will review all maintenance and rehabilitation projects completed and/or scheduled by the City since the last update in 2023; this will include work history updates on arterials/collectors and locals (current database shows March 2021 as last work history events).
Our staff will enter the necessary work history updates as mentioned above (i.e. data entry of maintenance / rehabilitation activities) into your MicroPAVER software. Once the project is completed, our staff will upload the necessary PMP database files at the City.
Deliverable: Update PMP data, Work History report
TASK 4.2: Pavement Condition Surveys
First and foremost, the assessment of the City’s pavement segmentation is one of the key priorities for this project. With three years between major inspections it will be essential to verify that all Arterial, Collector and Local segmentation is up-to-date and that section SF quantities are verified, accurate and reliable.
Once the pavement segmentation has
been assessed and verified, the
necessary 215 miles of Arterial, Collector
and Local inspections will be performed.
It is the City’s desire to survey all
pavement sections this fiscal year.
Our survey methodology will include the
following approach based on the ASTM
D6433 guidelines:
1. Walking - All sections are surveyed through “two-pass test” walking methodologies. AC/PCC distress types will be collected based upon actual surface conditions and physical characteristics of the segment.
Surveying methods will be conducted by remaining consistent with ASTM D6433 & the Army Corp of Engineers AC/PCC sampling guidelines while being flexible to City requirements.
All sample locations are observed through walking surveys; samples areas will cover 20% of the total section area and will be 2,500 SF +/- 1,000 SF in size. According to the City’s request the following pavement sections are to be surveyed for the upcoming 2026 PMP update:
• The inspection of approximately 215 miles of Arterial / Collector and Local segments will be performed;
• Recent overlay rehabilitation will reduce total mileage of survey – TBD; Our use of Tablet-based units allows our staff to collect pavement data with the City of Compton’s PMP database live in the field. At the end of the day all electronic data is transferred to our office for quality control and management.

Roadway Verification Survey - A listing of the field attribute data that is updated/verified during the survey for the pavement management database is listed below:
2. Field Attribute Data (updated and/or verified)
• Street name, from/to, indicating the assigned limits of the section • Historical PCI tracking from previous inspections and 2026 PCI inspections • Segment rank, length, width, and total true area of the section
3. Conditional data will be evaluated for all street segments and will include:
• MicroPAVER 20 AC & 19 PCC distresses by type, severity and sample area • Sampling/conditional data typically pulled from within edge-of-pavement to edgeof pavement • PCI ratings (0-100), taking into account the surface condition, level of distress
4. Section Distress and PCI Reporting
Once inspections are completed, we will generate a draft Pavement Condition Index (PCI) Report for City staff to review. The City and our staff will review these reports to ensure that all inventory data is correct and the project is running smoothly.
Our submittal will include:
• PCI Variance report comparing 2023 PCI’s to 2026 PCI’s • Street centerline miles and pavement area
• Current 2026-27 street network Pavement Condition Index ratings • Pavement segment tabular listing for the entire street network PCI Report – sorted by PCI (worst to best)
PCI Report – sorted alphabetically
Deliverable: Citywide PCI Reports (65% and 100% status PCI reports)
DEVELOP RECOMMENDED IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
TASK 4.3: Maintenance & CIP/ Budgetary Analysis
We will assist the City in developing the most cost-effective preventative maintenance and rehabilitation strategies necessary to achieve the desired level of serviceability. This will be accomplished by meeting with the City to discuss and strategize maintenance activities that are currently being used by the City. Based on the City’s current AC & PCC applications and other maintenance practices used we will conduct an historical and prospective analysis on the conditional and financial impact these practices have on the pavement network.
Project Understanding / Scope of Work
City of Compton 1-7
2026-27 Pavement Management Program
We will establish the Compton MicroPAVER maintenance “decision tree” that will be used to generate pavement recommendations that match current fiscal year maintenance approaches/City practices. This will be accomplished by assessing/updating the unique and individual PCI ranges and deterioration curves within PMP software based on functional class (i.e. arterial/collector) and age.
Our staff will review the Compton deterioration curves that have been developed based on historical pavement condition, inspection, surface type, and road class. All current market material and labor/unit costs will be integrated into the PMP recommendations and will be derived from the most recent construction bids for pavement rehabilitation.
We will account for annual inflation rates when long-term revenue projections are made. Our Project Manager and Principal will work closely with the City in assessing maintenance and rehabilitation strategies for each fiscal year as well as establishing potential PMP zones for the Local street network. Once the maintenance/rehabilitation strategies have been defined, the identification of a five-year Forecast Maintenance/Rehabilitation (FMR) schedule will be generated.
The recommended budget scenarios will be identified on the basis of several criteria:
• Assessment and review of the City’s Pavement CIP budget(s) • Present pavement conditions; desired levels of service and available resources • Projected / Forecasted PCI’s per section
• Cost benefit of individual strategies (minimum of three (3) scenarios) • Budgetary recommendations that satisfy City and County guidelines • Local fiscal year reporting/improvement scheduling
• Future routine maintenance needs based on projected deterioration rates • Pavement improvement scheduling with the City’s major CIP projects (water, sewer, etc.); when necessary
The primary emphasis of this task is to maximize the scheduling of street maintenance using the most cost-effective strategies available and taking into account a life-cycle cost analysis.
Deliverable: One (1) digital copy of the Draft Pavement Management Program Report TASK 4.4: Citywide CIP / METRO Compliance Budget Reports We will deliver the Final Report to the City which will be essential for staff reference / use as well as presented in a way that is beneficial for elected officials/upper management. This report will assist the City in complying with METRO.
The report will be prepared in a format that uses the information delivered by MicroPAVER in conjunction with the information and analysis performed by our team. The report will provide the City with information on:

Deliverable: One (1) digital copy of the Final Pavement PMP Report (.pdf), will be sent to the City. Bucknam will also provide final digital copies of the project related GIS files.
TASK 4.5: PMP – GIS Link / Mapping
As an enhancement and proactive approach to this project, our staff will update the existing Pavement-GIS link between MicroPAVER and the City’s GIS system. Bucknam currently has the 2023 PMP-GIS shapefile in-hand; this allows our staff to immediately utilize the file and prepare for internal PMP editing, survey and reporting. Our staff will review, with City staff, all ongoing upcoming capital projects that may impact the GIS mapping delivered for this project. The maps described below will be incorporated into the City’s Final PMP report:
• PCI values for every section
• 5-yr Arterial / Local Rehabilitation and Slurry Seal
Programs
• Work History maps
Once the City has approved the Pavement Condition Report, we will update the necessary MicroPAVER-GIS linkages (street names will be shown on all maps).
By using the unique ID’s within the PMP and the City’s ESRI street shapefile ID’s, we will update the one-to-one match for each pavement section in the GIS. Our staff will coordinate all project deliveries with the Public Works and the GIS division to ensure that the most current and accurate PMP-GIS maps are represented within the City’s GIS enterprise.
Deliverable: Complete GIS files/themes based on list above (project .mxd/shapefiles).

TASK 4.6: Compton MyRoads® PMP Web-Portal
Compton MyRoads™ Web-Portal – Bucknam’s MyRoads® PMP web-portal is a great match for the Compton PMP today and for the future. Our application brings your PMP data to life within a dynamic dashboard!
Bucknam now provides all our PMP clients with a unique and agency driven “MyRoads®” webportal that provides instantaneous access to your pavement management database. This “dashboard” allows users to toggle through individual sections via GIS Lasso map selections, zone queries, rank selection and PCI ranges to review all section metrics, latest/previous inspections, work histories and filtered PCI reports. To cap it off, your selections/queries also generate preliminary engineering costs estimations for slurry, overlay and reconstruction projects and provides you with the predictive PCI as if the work is complete.
Bucknam has shown the 2023 Compton
MyRoads® account actively working!
This tool will be accessed by City staff
simply through a Username/Password
methodology. As changes are made to
the Compton PMP database the
MyRoads® dataset is changed to reflect
work history edits, PCI inspections and
section changes.
In summary, MyRoads® allows the user
perform the following dynamic functions:
• Query specific pavement
segment(s) to view
current/historic PCI, work history
inspection;
• Filter for pavement sections within a defined zone, PCI range and/or functional class; • Select a pavement section or grouping of section through the on-board GIS tool; • Enter slurry, overlay & reconstruction unit costs to determine preliminary cost of maintenance and resulting citywide PCI
• Display critical street / sidewalks / signs / ROW assets along pavement section(s) that are critical to Engineering Bid development and solicitation (ADA ramps, utilities, manholes, trees, etc.
• Displays all final GIS project maps (PCI, work history, 7-yr forecasted maintenance, etc.) • Bucknam will train Compton staff on the simply use of the MyRoads® dashboard.

AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ESTABLISH A PURCHASE
ORDER WITH ALANS LAWN AND GARDEN CENTER, INC. TO
PURCHASE EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES FOR MAINTENANCE OF
CITY PARKS IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED FIFTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS ($50,000.00)
SUMMARY
Adopting this resolution will authorize the City Manager to establish a purchase order with Alans Lawn and Garden Center, Inc. to purchase equipment and supplies for maintenance of City parks in an amount not to exceed Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00).
BACKGROUND
The Public Works Street Maintenance Department (Department) is responsible for overseeing the Parks Maintenance Division. This division relies on essential horticultural equipment and supplies to effectively maintain the City’s parks. Consistent maintenance is crucial to ensure the safety, cleanliness and overall enjoyment of these public spaces for both residents and visitors.
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
The City’s parks are heavily used by the public throughout the year, and maintaining them requires regular upkeep and the use of specialized equipment. Due to increased use, seasonal changes and normal wear and tear, the Parks Maintenance Division requires additional or replacement tools, equipment and supplies. Many of the existing items are either outdated or insufficient to handle the increased workload.
The Department is addressing the need to replenish and upgrade the equipment and supplies necessary to maintain laws, trees, playground areas, sports fields and other park facilities. Park maintenance is a top priority for the Parks Maintenance Division. Acquiring the necessary equipment and supplies will improve maintenance efficiency and help ensure that our parks remain clean, safe and enjoyable for all residents.

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

Raymond Street Park Joint Use Concepts • SLA Inc. Source: City of Compton follow-up request from Parks & Recreation Director 02 Raymond Street Joint Use Project:
How did we get here?
● Our team became aware of a grant funding opportunity that aligned with the City's goals of expanding recreational and community amenities.
● Due to the time-sensitive nature of the grant application timeline, we approached the City with an unsolicited proposal outlining the project concept and offering assistance in pursuing the available funding.
● The proposal was submitted solely to provide the City with an opportunity to compete for external grant funding and does not commit any city funds.
Raymond Street Park Joint Use Concepts • SLA Inc. Source: City of Compton follow-up request from Parks & Recreation Director 03 Why an Unsolicited Proposal Was Appropriate
● Public agencies commonly receive unsolicited proposals related to grant opportunities, innovative projects, and public-private partnerships.
● Grant application deadlines often require agencies to act quickly, leaving insufficient time to conduct a traditional competitive procurement process before an application must be submitted. ● In this case, pursuing the grant opportunity required timely action to meet the funding agency's application deadline.
Raymond Street Park Joint Use Concepts • SLA Inc. Source: City of Compton follow-up request from Parks & Recreation Director 04 No Project Commitment
● The proposed MOU does not obligate the city to move forward with the project. ● Its purpose is limited to seeking grant funding and evaluating the feasibility of the project. ● Any future project implementation would be subject to City review and approvals.

Concern: Cost Answer: Use a grant-first strategy, phase the project, and return with a cost opinion before construction. No city funds to be committed or used.
Concern: Maintenance Answer: Require a written operations and maintenance plan before final construction approval. Use workforce development grant to maintain park.
Concern: Horses / safety Answer: Two options are available. Joint use concept allows for; equestrian uses with separation, buffers, signage, and dedicated movement areas for both horses and pedestrians..
Concern: Capacity Answer: The project team has a representative $9.1M+ public/project portfolio and active partners.
Concern: Community buy-in Answer: Conduct outreach before final design: nearby residents, Richland Farms, families, youth, seniors, and park users.
A YES vote tonight keeps the process alive - it does not lock the city into construction, final costs, or a final design.

SUBJECT: DIRECTION AND DISCUSSION OF THE EVALUATION RESULTS FOR THE RENOVATION/REDEVELOPMENT OF COMPTON PAR 3 GOLF COURSE
REQUEST FOR LETTERS OF INTEREST (RLI) AND TO REQUEST THAT
COUNCIL REACH CONSENSUS AND PROVIDE DIRECTION TO STAFF ON
HOW TO PROCEED
SUMMARY
Staff requests that the City Council receive and file the evaluation results for the Renovation/Redevelopment of Compton Par 3 Golf Course Request for Letters of Interest (RLI), reach consensus on one of the alternatives presented in this report, and provide direction to staff on how to proceed.
This item does not request a formal vote, and no resolution is presented for adoption. This item does not request an award. The RLI remains technically open. No award, commitment, or representation of any kind has been made to any submitter.
BACKGROUND
The Renovation/Redevelopment of Compton Par 3 Golf Course RLI was issued in March 10, 2025 after the City Council was unable to reach consensus on a preferred use for the former Compton Par 3 Golf Course property. Rather than issuing a use-specific Request for Proposals, the City invited letters of interest in an attempt to surface the full range of potential development concepts.
Twelve submissions were received by the April 12, 2025 deadline and evaluated by a committee composed of two City staff members and five community members. The completed committee evaluations have been recovered, tabulated, and verified by the Purchasing Division.
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
The RLI remains technically open, and City Council consensus and direction to staff are needed on how to proceed. The RLI was a market interest tool and does not substitute for competitive procurement. The RLI created no obligation to award.
ANALYSIS
Evaluation Results
Each submission was scored by the evaluation committee against five goals on a 1 to 10 scale, for a maximum possible total of 50 points. Scores reflect the average across five scoring evaluators. Two committee members are excluded from all averages. One recorded responses as checkmarks rather than numeric scores. One did not score all twelve submissions. Both exclusions were applied to every submission and have been documented.
The Compton Country Club Initiative is the highest ranked submission, with a total average score of 38.40 out of 50. The full ranking is set forth below. The ranking is presented for the City Council's information and is not a staff recommendation of any submitter.
10. Rank Submitter Total Average Score (of 50)
1 Compton Country Club Initiative 38.40
2 A Life Well Dressed West 37.40
3 BDS Partners 32.20
4 The Hub City Dream Center 31.00
5 City Ventures 30.00
6 ADRE/Infold Collective 30.00
7 Brandywine Homes 29.60
8 Compton Golf Coalition 27.60
9 Trout Unlimited South Coast 26.60
10 Compton Entertainment Chamber of Commerce 26.00
11 Logo Faith Development LLC 26.00
12 PCN3 Inc 20.80
Effect of Identifying a Preferred Concept
Identifying a preferred concept is not an award of a contract. It establishes the use and structure the City Council prefers for the property. The highest ranked submission proposes a golf facility on land the City would continue to own, operated by the submitter, with a separate firm managing the facility.
If the City Council identifies a preferred concept, staff will return with a plan to implement it through a competitive solicitation. That solicitation would be open to any qualified entity, including the submitters to this RLI. No submitter holds a right to a contract by reason of its ranking.
Options for Moving Forward
Staff has identified four options for how the City may proceed with the property. No option is recommended above another at this stage, because the appropriate path depends on the City Council's determination of the City's preferred role in the property.
Option 1. City project delivered through design-bid-build. The City would solicit design services, and subsequently bid construction for award to the lowest responsible bidder under City Charter Section 1409. The City would fund and manage construction.
Option 2. Ground lease or operator partnership. The City would competitively select a lessee or operator, which would finance and construct improvements at its own cost.
Option 3. Sale of the property. The City would dispose of the property, subject to the Surplus Land Act.
Option 4. Charter amendment to permit design-build. The City Council would place a measure before the voters to amend the City Charter. This is a multi-year path and does not resolve the near-term question for this property.
City Charter
Contracted counsel has advised in writing that design-build delivery is not available to the City under City Charter Section 1409 as currently written. For that reason, design-build is not listed as a current option.
General Plan
The City’s General Plan, including the Housing Element, may affect which uses and development structures are available for the property. Once the City Council provides direction, staff will work with the Planning Division and legal counsel to evaluate how the General Plan and Housing Element apply to the direction given. Staff will return to the City Council with that information before any solicitation is issued or further action is taken.
PUBLICATION
The RLI was published On March 10, 2025 with a submission deadline in April 12, 2025.
ALTERNATIVES
The City Council has five alternatives in considering this item. The City Council is asked to reach consensus on one alternative and direct staff accordingly. No formal vote is requested.
1. The City Council may identify the concept in the highest ranked submission as the preferred use and direct staff to return with an implementation and procurement plan. This is not an award to any submitter.
2. The City Council may identify a different concept as the preferred use and direct staff to return with an implementation and procurement plan.
3. The City Council may direct staff to return with further analysis of the options before a concept is identified.
4. The City Council may close the RLI without identifying a preferred concept and pursue another course.
5. The City Council may receive and file the results and take no further action at this time.
PUBLIC BENEFIT / OPERATIONAL IMPACT
City Council direction on how to proceed will allow staff to formally close the RLI and notify all twelve submitters of the evaluation outcome and the City Council's direction.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this item at this time.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file the evaluation results for the Renovation/Redevelopment of Compton Par 3 Golf Course RLI, reach consensus on one of the alternatives presented in this report, and provide direction to staff on how to proceed. Staff further recommends formally closing the RLI once City Council direction is received and notifying all twelve submitters of the evaluation outcome and the City Council's direction.

SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON
AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ESTABLISH THE RICHLAND
FARMS PREFERENTIAL PARKING PROGRAM AND SELECT OR
MODIFY THE PREFERRED OPTION FOR PERMIT FEES,
ENFORCEMENT HOURS, AND PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
SUMMARY
The City Council is being asked to review and select its preferred option for the Richland Farms Preferential Parking Program. Two options, originating from people unknown, are being presented for your consideration. Both options provide the same number of proposed residential, guest, temporary, replacement, and funeral repast permit fees and general documentation requirements. The options differ in enforcement hours, and the maximum number of events permitted annually. The Council's selection will modify section 12-9 of the Compton Municipal Code, establish new costs for the preferential permit parking program and will authorize the City Manager to implement the Richland Farms Preferential Parking Program in accordance with the Council’s direction.
BACKGROUND
Compton Municipal Code Chapter 12, Section 12-9 establishes the City's Preferential Permit Parking Program. The stated purpose is to address serious residential parking problems associated with nonresident parking, congestion, noise, traffic hazards, and difficulty for residents to park near their homes. The ordinance cites California Vehicle Code sections 22507 and 22507.5 as authority for the program.
The existing ordinance is primarily district-based. Current City regulations provide for residential, guest, and temporary permits. Up to three residential permits may be purchased per address, one guest permit may be purchased per address, and temporary permits may be issued for bona fide guests for up to seven consecutive days. Permits are generally issued on a calendar-year basis by the Business License Division, and permit fees are established by City Council resolution. Signs must be posted on streets subject to the program, and the Council determines the days and hours of enforcement for each designated preferential parking district.
11. October 20, 2026
Staff Report – Citywide Preferential Parking Program or Cancel Existing Preferential Parking Districts
The Richland Farms Preferential Parking Program proposal is intended to establish permit fees, documentation requirements, and enforcement hours for preferential parking in the Richland Farms area. The proposed program includes residential permits, guest permits, event permits, temporary permits, replacement permits, and funeral repast permits. The proposed options provide the first two residential permits at no charge, with fees for additional permits up to 6 permits per dwelling. Guest permits and event permits would be provided at no charge within the proposed limits. Temporary and replacement permits would be subject to fees, while funeral repasts with unlimited permits would be provided at no charge with proof. Both options also provide for an exemption on all federal holidays.
The primary differences between the two options are the enforcement schedule and the annual limit on events. Option 1 allows up to 12 events per year with up to 50 permits per event, while Option 2 allows up to 10 events per year with up to 50 permits per event.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The City Council is being asked to review the two proposed options and select its preferred option for the Richland Farms Preferential Parking Program. The selected option will establish the proposed enforcement hours, number of residential permits per dwelling, and annual event limit, while maintaining the permit fees and general requirements outlined in the proposal. The preferred option will be presented to the City Manager for a final decision.
COUNCIL OPTIONS
OPTION 1
The City Council may select Option 1 which allows up to 12 events per year. Enforcement would occur Monday through Thursday from 8:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. and Friday through Sunday from 12:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. Enforcement would occur Monday through Thursday from 8:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. and Friday through Sunday from 12:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. The program would allow a maximum of 12 events per year. All proposed permit fees and documentation requirements would remain as outlined below.
OPTION 2 -
The City Council may select Option 2, which allows up to 10 events per year. Enforcement would occur Monday through Thursday from 9:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. and Friday through Sunday from 11:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m. Enforcement would occur Monday through Thursday from 9:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. and Friday through Sunday from 11:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m. The
RICHLAND FARMS PREFERENTIAL PARKING PROGRAM
OCTOBER 20, 2025, PAGE 2
program would allow a maximum of 10 events per year. All proposed permit fees and documentation requirements would remain as outlined below.
PROPOSED PERMIT FEES AND REQUIREMENTS
Both options include the following proposed permit fees and requirements:
Residential permits: The first and second permits would be free. The third and fourth permits would cost $30.00 each, and the fifth and sixth permits would cost $50.00 each.
Guest permits: A maximum of two per year would be provided at no charge.
Event permits: Up to 50 permits per event would be provided at no charge. Option 1 allows a maximum of 12 events per year, and Option 2 allows a maximum of 10 events per year.
Temporary permits: Unlimited temporary permits would be available at $10.00 each.
Replacement permits: One replacement permit would be allowed, with proof, at a cost of $30.00.
Funeral repast permits: Unlimited permits would be provided at no charge with proof.
Federal holidays: All federal holidays would be exempt from enforcement.
Documentation requirements: Applicants would be required to provide proof of home ownership, present identification, and provide one of the following documents: a utility bill, vehicle registration, voter registration, notarized letter from the property owner, or current rental document. An LLC would not be required.
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact cannot be reliably quantified at this time nor can the need for additional administrative staffing to support the options being proposed. Permit revenue and administrative and enforcement costs would depend on program participation, the number of permits issued, and the resources required to administer and enforce the program. The proposed fee schedule is the same under both options; therefore, the primary differences between the options are the enforcement hours and the annual event limit.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council review the two proposed options and select its preferred option for the Richland Farms Preferential Parking Program. The council may October 20, 2026

also choose to modify either option with agreed upon input. The selected option will be presented to the City Manager follow-through and staff implementation.

SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON
AUTHORIZING THE PLACEMENT OF A COMMEMORATIVE DEDICATION MARKER AT ALONDRA GATEWAY PARK IN HONOR OF SR. CLIFF’S TEXAS STYLE
BURRITOS AND THE WILLIAMS FAMILY
SUMMARY
The City Council will consider adopting a resolution authorizing the placement of a commemorative dedication marker at Alondra Gateway Park in honor of Sr. Cliff’s Texas Style Burritos and the Williams family. The proposed dedication, requested by Councilmember Jonathan Bowers, Third District, recognizes the family’s longstanding service to the Compton community and its support of the park’s development. The proposed action does not rename the park.
BACKGROUND
Alondra Gateway Park, located at 412 West Alondra Boulevard in the Third Council District, was developed through a collaborative effort involving the State of California, the San Gabriel and Lower Los Angeles Rivers and Mountains Conservancy, the City of Compton, the Office of Assemblymember Mike Gipson, and project design partners. The park celebrated its grand opening on April 10, 2025, and includes native landscaping, a playground, exercise equipment, and other neighborhood amenities.
Sr. Cliff’s Texas Style Burritos, located next to the park at 408 West Alondra Boulevard, has served the Compton community for more than three decades. Cliff and Delores Williams and the Williams family supported the Alondra Gateway Park project, including accommodating a portion of the project footprint to help advance the community-centered park design. Their cooperation contributed to the development of public green space for neighborhood residents and visitors.
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
Councilmember Jonathan Bowers requests that the City Council recognize the Williams family’s longstanding neighborhood presence and its direct support of the Alondra Gateway Park project through a commemorative dedication marker at the park.
12. COMMEMORATIVE DEDICATION MARKER – SR. CLIFF’S TEXAS STYLE BURRITOS OCTOBER 20, 2026
PAGE 2
The proposed marker would acknowledge the family’s contribution to making the park possible and its continuing relationship with the surrounding community. The dedication would not change the name or existing designation of Alondra Gateway Park.
Upon Council approval, the City Manager or designee would coordinate with the appropriate City departments and the Office of the Third District Councilmember regarding the marker’s proposed location, wording, design, materials, fabrication, and installation, consistent with applicable City policies and requirements.
FISCAL IMPACT
The adoption of the proposed resolution does not itself require an immediate appropriation.
Costs for the design, fabrication, and installation of the commemorative dedication marker have not yet been finalized. The City Manager will coordinate with the appropriate City departments to determine whether the marker can be produced in-house and to identify any associated costs and available funding. Expenditures, if any, will be subject to existing budget authority and applicable City purchasing procedures. Any additional funding or Council authorization required will be brought back for consideration.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council consider adopting the accompanying resolution authorizing the placement of a commemorative dedication marker at Alondra Gateway Park in honor of Sr. Cliff’s Texas Style Burritos and the Williams family, and authorizing the City Manager to coordinate the necessary planning and implementation requirements.
ATTACHMENT: Proposed City Council Resolution concerning the commemorative dedication marker at Alondra Gateway Park.
