city council

The Compton City Council met on April 28, 2026, and took several significant actions. The council approved five-year labor agreements (2024–2029) with three employee groups—management (CMEA/[AFSCME](https://www.afscme.org)), general employees ([AFSCME](https://www.afscme.org) Local 3947), and firefighters (Local 2216)—bringing wages to more competitive levels. The FY 2023–2024 audit by EDN Payne was received with a clean financial opinion but flagged 21 findings including 12 material weaknesses, primarily related to reporting delays and internal controls; the council also authorized EDN Payne for the FY 2025 audit at $232,885. The Community Improvement Services department was renamed the Public Safety department with restructured supervisory positions, a zero-emission bus rollout plan for nine electric buses was approved for state submission, and $268,285 was allocated to AP Triton to help the fire department pursue regaining ambulance transport rights from LA County. The council heard presentations on the June 2 primary election voting procedures, a legislative update highlighting new Brown Act requirements (SB 707) taking effect July 1, 2026, and potential federal funding from Congresswoman Waters for water and sewer projects totaling $5.4 million. The proposed budget hearing was postponed from June 2 due to its conflict with election day, and two items were tabled—a $200,000 [Caltrans](https://dot.ca.gov) grant appropriation due to insufficient votes and a $79,554 HOME ARP nonprofit capacity-building contract pending more information.

city council

The council's only new expenditure was a $5,255 budget amendment authorizing a purchase order with Zumar Industries for road signs and supplies from the Measure P Fund, approved 5-0; the initial motion was withdrawn and re-voted after a council member flagged that the resolution incorrectly cited a temporary $75,000 single-vendor spending authority from a July 2024 measure rather than the standing $25,000 threshold, with the $5,255 amount falling well below either figure. The council also passed 5-0 the second reading of the Construction Labor Disclosure Ordinance, which requires contractors on large city construction projects to disclose prior labor violations; one speaker during the public comment period, representing the Western States Regional Council of Carpenters, addressed this item in support before the vote. The city manager presented the proposed FY 2025-26 budget — $262.3 million across all funds, $75.1 million in the general fund — at a required public hearing, but no budget was adopted; approximately nine members of the public spoke, raising concerns about specific streets absent from the capital improvement plan, the destination of cannabis license revenue, sheriff contract overtime accountability, and the absence of visible youth program spending. A separate AB 2561-required public hearing on the city's 21.6% vacancy rate (87 of 402 budgeted positions unfilled) drew two union representatives from AFSCME and SEIU who described labor contracts expired since June 2024, a $100,000-plus classification study contracted in 2023 that the city manager stated the vendor failed to complete as specified, and an average time-to-hire of 116 days, alongside three members of the public.
