The council's only spending approval was a contract with EUNA Solutions for a payment kiosk platform at three city locations: $50,220 for the first year from the General Fund, plus a renewal option of $47,970 per year — that recurring figure sits $2,030 below the $50,000 council approval threshold, and EUNA Solutions is named in both line items of the same agenda item; the vote passed via electronic ballot with no individual tally verbally stated in the record. Three law firms — Alvarez Glassman & Colvin (serving as special counsel since July 2024), Hawkins, and Le Altrejo — gave informational presentations for potential outside legal counsel and bond counsel roles, but no contract was awarded at this meeting. The council made five board and commission appointments: Gerald Griffin and Joshua Baker to the Charter Review Board (5-0 each), Delores Holbrook to the Charter Review Board (5-0), and Dr. Johnny Withers to the Olympics Tourism Committee (5-0); Brunell McDaniels was appointed to the Public Safety Committee 4-1, with Bowers dissenting. Approximately 24 members of the public addressed the council, with multiple speakers raising concerns about ICE enforcement activity in Compton, Richland Farms parking permit enforcement, and critically low fire department staffing; the city manager's performance evaluation was conducted in closed session with nothing publicly reported.
