city council

The Compton City Council held a public workshop on air quality concerns from the World Oil Recycling facility, where [AQMD](https://www.aqmd.gov) confirmed 8 violations and over 130 odor complaints in 2026 alone, with residents and children reporting nosebleeds, headaches, and nausea. World Oil did not attend in person, drawing sharp criticism from residents and commissioners. The council also received a presentation on a 90-day drone first responder pilot program launching August 19 at Compton Station, approved a $30,810 pipeline franchise fee review, authorized a state financing application for a [PFAS](https://www.epa.gov/pfas) water treatment plant, and approved purchasing a $127,000 remote-controlled mulching machine for city maintenance. A contentious discussion over Richland Farms permit parking enforcement ended without formal action, with the city manager directed to present a consultant selection for a citywide parking study in September.

The council's largest spending approval was a recurring $800,000 contract with the City of Downey for fire and emergency medical dispatching services, passed on the consent agenda 4-0 (Darden absent); the same vote covered three recurring regulatory and consulting payments — $53,975 to the State Water Resources Control Board, $34,050 to Price Paige & Company LLP for a CPA contract amendment, and $33,012 to the California Department of Industrial Relations — with one resident, Fidel Marquez, publicly opposing the Price Paige item during public comment. A $416,428 amendment to a construction contract with MDJ Management LLC for security upgrades at 404 N. Alameda passed 4-0 (Darden absent) following a presentation by Director Ward citing scope additions — drainage retention basins, ADA sidewalks, and interior cameras — not anticipated when the project was authorized in June 2023; Ward stated the project is approximately 80% complete. A $28,799 General Fund purchase order to HDL for municipal tax and audit consulting passed 4-0 (Darden absent); both HDL and Price Paige & Company LLP are General Fund consulting vendors approved at the same meeting, and HDL's amount falls just under $30,000. No new spending was approved for the Olympics/Tourism Committee ordinance (first reading only, no vote taken) or the exclusive negotiation agreement with the Wind Project for 21 affordable units at 1716 E. Rosecrans (4-0, Darden absent), though the Wind Project ENA drew multiple public objections in the concurrent successor agency session.
