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 spending approval was Item 5: $1,487.96 in General Fund expenditures for travel to the League of California Cities Mayor and Council Members Academy in Sacramento (January 21–23, 2026), structured as four separate line items — $675.00 payable to League of California Cities and three additional amounts of $508.96, $229.00, and $75.00 with no named vendors — approved 4-0, with Spicer absent. The city attorney publicly described a $200,000 settlement with former city official Eric Perrodin resolving two cross-litigation matters, but those agenda items were classified as informational and no open-session vote was recorded. Approximately 30 residents signed up for public comment; the dominant issue was opposition to the Richland Farms preferential parking ordinance, with multiple speakers citing the city's own code provision requiring 50% resident permit uptake before enforcement signs may be installed and stating that only roughly 40 of more than 400 homes had applied. Two speakers read California Penal Code 424 — covering misappropriation of public funds — into the record and formally noticed the city manager and all four council members regarding credit card charges attributed to Councilman Spicer; the mayor stated the investigation is ongoing and that the council has no control over its timeline.
