The Compton City Council formally censured Councilman Andre Spicer for misusing the city Cal Card (purchasing card), voting 4-0 to revoke his card privileges, remove him from all committees, boards, and commissions, strip his Mayor Pro Tempore title, and refer the independent investigator's findings to the LA County Sheriff and District Attorney. The council also held a budget workshop for FY 2026-2027, presenting a proposed $83.7 million general fund with $56.5 million dedicated to public safety, including a sheriff's contract increasing to $30.5 million. Other approvals included a three-year, $525,500-per-year street name sign installation program, $150,000 for traffic calming devices including neighborhood roundabouts, and a salary schedule for unclassified employees through 2029. Residents voiced strong concerns about World Oil Recycling Center's recent fire and air violations, brown water quality, sheriff's department costs and responsiveness, and the need for better emergency communication systems.

At the May 12, 2026 meeting, the Compton City Council approved several key items including a $200,000 CalTrans grant to continue the city's Clean Team cleanup program, a $309,495 contract for asphalt pavement rehabilitation at various locations, a $67,500 contract for dirt removal and dumping cleanup on city-owned parcels near the 710 freeway, and an $874,908 cost-sharing agreement with the City of Carson for street improvements on Central Avenue. The council also adopted a schedule for upcoming community budget workshops across all four districts, with an additional Saturday session being explored, and scheduled a public hearing for the HUD 2026-27 Annual Action Plan on June 9. During public comment, residents raised concerns about street conditions, Republic Services trash pickup delays, transparency and financial accountability, the Compton Unified School District bond measure, and a credit card misuse investigation — with the city manager announcing that a full report and the investigator will be presented at next week's meeting.

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.

The council voted 2-3 to reject a travel authorization (Item 5) totaling $1,623 structured across three separate General Fund line items — $1,000, $548, and $75 — for elected officials to attend the 67th Annual Municipal Seminar in Indian Wells in May 2026, with Mayor Sharif, Spicer, and Bowers voting no and Duhart and Darden voting yes; the three-way split of expenditures for a single event is a pattern flagged in the structured agenda. A right-of-entry and access agreement with nonprofit Connecting Compton for a former landfill site at 2815–2901 West Alondra Boulevard (Item 6) was tabled 4-1 (Bowers dissenting) after council members raised concerns about soil contamination, the city's disclosure of two unresolved competing access challenges filed against the city, and the revelation that vendor NV5 holds an active city stormwater-sampling contract at the site yet has produced no reports to the council. Staff was directed to bring NV5 before the council for a full presentation, explore a request for proposals for soil site analysis, and contact the EPA directly, with all three components targeted to return by mid-May 2026. The closed session on public employee discipline — concerning the city manager currently on administrative leave — was referred to outside retained counsel Enzo Law with no additional reportable action; two members of the public addressed the closed-session item before it convened, both speaking in support of the city manager.

The largest spending approved at this meeting was a five-year SEIU Local 721 collective bargaining agreement (Maintenance and Trades and Public Safety Auxiliary, FY2025–2029) carrying five expenditure line items totaling approximately $2.45 million; the city manager stated the deal brings wages closer to comparable-city market rates, it passed on an electronic vote, and no individual tally was captured in the transcript (Councilmember Darton was absent throughout the meeting). The council also approved a contract with Agiloft, Inc. for a contract lifecycle management platform — described from the dais as not to exceed $257,418 with a $76,000 implementation cost and $55,821 annual subscription — but the structured agenda items show Agiloft across six line items totaling $716,433, with four sub-$100K entries summing to $201,597 flagged as a possible split-payment pattern; additionally, a $76,000 line item attributed to Spectrum Mobility, LLC appeared in the structured agenda data but was not mentioned in the city manager's presentation, and the item passed with no tally stated. The consent agenda passed 4-0 with Darton absent, approving $102,245 in planning consultant contracts split between Interwest Consulting Group, Inc. at $180/hr and 4Leaf, Inc. at $160/hr from the General Fund. The largest single dollar item on the agenda — a right-of-entry agreement for the former Alondra Boulevard landfill site with $3 million flowing to Connecting Compton in two line items ($2M and $1M) — was pulled from the consent agenda before any vote; two Connecting Compton co-founders spoke in support during public comment, while two other residents raised concerns about unresolved environmental hazards at the site, including what one speaker described as visible daily gas emissions.

Mar 19, 2026

personnel board

The Compton Personnel Board unanimously approved six items at its March 19, 2026 meeting, with the most significant being the authorization of temporary firefighter appointments to address a severe staffing shortage in the fire department. Fire Chief Donald reported 10 current vacancies across captain, engineer, and firefighter ranks, with retired fire captains and firefighter paramedics being brought in temporarily while the department works to fill 20 positions. The board also approved eligible lists for city clerk technician, street maintenance supervisor, and associate civil engineer positions, abolished a building inspector eligible list due to unsuitable candidates, and extended the fire captain eligible list for six months. Compton College's upcoming fire academy, expected to launch in fall 2026, was noted as a future pipeline for local firefighter recruitment.

Mar 17, 2026

city council

The council's largest spending action was approving Road Repair Project Phase IX, which encompasses a $5.58 million contract with Hardy & Harper, Inc. for construction and six separate line items to Bowman Infrastructure Engineers Ltd. totaling approximately $1.22 million for construction management and inspection services; the council voted specifically on a Bowman contract amendment stated in the resolution as $204,116.70, passing 4-0-1 with one abstention unnamed in the record — Bowman also held a $257,977 construction management contract approved in October 2024 for the same project type, and that identical figure reappears among the current Bowman line items. The council also approved a $98,375 contract with [Selbert Perkins Design](https://selbertperkins.com/) for municipal branding and marketing consulting services, 5-0 after council discussion; the amount falls $1,625 below the $100,000 approval threshold. The full consent agenda — including a $250,000 recurring purchase order with Springbrook Holding Company LLC for utility billing software (a vendor the city has paid continuously since at least 2009, when comparable orders were under $52,000), $182,182 to the LA Gateway Region Integrated Regional Water Management JPA for water quality monitoring, and $63,112 to Advanced Compliance Engineering for fuel pump maintenance — passed 5-0 without discussion. More than fifteen residents addressed the council during public comment on non-spending matters including pothole damage claims, parking enforcement disputes, and code enforcement concerns; no members of the public spoke to any of the spending items on the agenda.

Mar 10, 2026

city council

The council's two largest spending approvals at the March 17, 2026 meeting were a $204,116.70 amendment to an existing professional services agreement with Bowman Infrastructure Engineers Ltd. for additional construction management and inspection on road repair project phase nine—passed with four affirmative votes and one abstention—and a contract not to exceed $98,375 with Silbert Perkins Design for municipal branding and marketing consulting, passed 5-0; the Silbert Perkins amount sits $1,625 below $100,000, which analysts typically flag as a potential threshold-adjacent figure, though Compton's specific contract approval threshold is not stated in the meeting materials. Bowman Infrastructure Engineers is a repeat vendor on a multi-phase road project, with this item adding funds to an existing agreement whose original contract value is not disclosed in the available materials. A Special Legal Counsel Authorization Resolution (Item 2 on the structured agenda) was also approved as part of the consent agenda, 5-0, with no dollar amount appearing in the available materials. More than fifteen residents addressed the council during public comment on non-spending matters—including pothole damage reimbursement denials, parking enforcement disputes, code enforcement complaints, and questions about commissioner eligibility to run for office—while no members of the public addressed either the Bowman or Silbert Perkins spending items before those votes were taken.

Mar 3, 2026

city council

The council's largest spending approvals came through the consent agenda — passed without individual vote tallies verbally recorded — totaling $141,115: $57,000 to UCLA Center for Prehospital Care for paramedic training, $70,560 across two line items to New West Landscaping for weed abatement (a vendor with recurring contract appearances in Compton records dating to at least 2018), and $13,355 to TAJ Trading Corporation for office furniture and counter purchases; a travel authorization totaling $1,253.24 from the General Fund for elected officials to attend the 2026 City Leaders Summit in Sacramento passed separately, 5-0 (Duhart, Spicer, Bowers, Darden, Sharif all yes). A $350,000 California DOJ Tobacco Grant budget amendment — which would have directed $332,668 of those funds to overtime pay for code enforcement inspections, $16,664 to salaries, and $668 to equipment — was tabled after council members questioned why inspection work was structured as overtime rather than regular-duty assignments; the item is scheduled to return the following week. The council discussed but did not vote on special legal counsel, directing the city manager to bring back a formal action item for three finalist firms: Alvarez-Madruga, Sanders and Roberts, and Norseman. Approximately sixteen residents addressed the Richland Farms parking permit ordinance during public comment — the night's dominant topic — with the majority demanding termination of the program and a smaller number expressing support.

Feb 24, 2026

city council

The council approved the following spending items, all by 5-0 vote: $834,365 to Sweeping Corp of America for citywide street sweeping (Measure P funds, recurring contract); $500,000 to General Pump Company for water well and booster pump services, which the water department stated covers outstanding invoices and accrued late fees the vendor agreed to defer; $495,664 to Innovative Playgrounds Co., Inc. (Measure A) for the Tucker Park playground project; $237,900 to Angeles Contractor, Inc. to close out the Council Chambers remodeling; $95,740 to Cooperative Personnel Services DBA CPS HR Consulting for training and consulting; $50,000 to Mars Environmental for disposal services; and a three-year uniform rental contract with Cintas Corporation not to exceed $120,000 (consent, 5-0). The CPS HR Consulting approval carries a structural flag: the single agenda item lists three sub-threshold line items — $95,740, $95,470, and $45,470 — each sitting just below the $100,000 or $50,000 approval thresholds and together totaling $190,940. Two HOME-ARP grants totaling $1.51 million — $870,446 to Empowering Reach Foundation and $641,078 to Fair Housing Foundation — were pulled from the agenda and received no vote. Approximately a dozen residents addressed the council against the active preferential permit parking enforcement in Richland Farms, citing improper ordinance rollout, ticketing errors on handicap-permitted vehicles, and inadequate community notice; the discussion was tabled for a future workshop without a vote, and Councilmember Spicer confirmed enforcement remained in effect through adjournment.

Feb 10, 2026

city council

No new spending was approved at this meeting; the sole action item was the appointment of Sandra Lightner to the one vacant Beautification Committee seat designated for Councilmember Bowers to fill, approved 4-0 with Councilmember Spicer absent and no dollar amount attached. The city treasurer's FY26 Second Quarterly Investment Report — an informational receive-and-file item, not a spending decision — reported a $312.18M investment portfolio generating $3.01M in total interest revenue for the quarter, drawn from the General Fund ($1.19M), PERS ($890,903), Measure P ($376,350), the Successor Agency ($347,864), and Low Cost Housing ($201,513). Approximately twenty-two residents addressed the council during public comment, the majority focused on the Richland Farms preferential permit parking program; the city manager stated the program was erroneously suspended by a former city attorney, that the current ordinance enforces parking restrictions 24/7 with no time-of-day limits unlike surrounding cities, and that staff would return the following week with amendment options — no vote was taken on the ordinance. No repeat vendors, split payments, or threshold-adjacent amounts appear in the approved items because no spending was authorized.

Feb 3, 2026

city council

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.

Jan 13, 2026

city council

The council's largest spending approval was a $350,000 budget amendment appropriating California DOJ tobacco enforcement grant funds — $332,000 of that amount designated for overtime — passed 4-1 with Bowers dissenting; the council also approved a $220,493 contract amendment with NV5, Inc. for the Wilmington Avenue pedestrian and bicycle project (5-0) and an $82,500 grant administration agreement with Corelink Consulting (5-0, voted in a block with items 10 and 11). Three separate consent-calendar items each totaled exactly $50,000: a purchase order to TV Pro Gear, Inc. for council meeting production equipment (5-0), a purchase order to TAJ Trading Corporation DBA TAJ Office and School Supply for small business workshop supplies (4-0-1, Bowers abstaining, after two public commenters stated the recipient businesses were not identified in the agenda package), and a purchase order to Sherwin-Williams for anti-graffiti paint (5-0, in the block vote) — three contracts at an identical dollar amount spanning different departments and vendors. The meeting also included approval of $54,716 in recurring annual fees to the State Water Resources Control Board and $9,900 in Charter Review Committee stipends (both 5-0), while the March 2025 minutes were tabled due to the packet not being included. Outside of spending, the council voted 5-0 in open session to recruit a city controller following closed session, received and filed Bishop Guillory's resignation from the Public Safety Commission (5-0), denied Commissioner Inez Adkins a six-month leave of absence (5-0), and heard competing presentations from Oliveras Madruga, Nassiman LLP, and Sanders Roberts for special legal counsel services, with no contract awarded at this meeting.

Dec 23, 2025

city council

The council's largest spending approval was $884,333 to Greenfields Outdoor Fitness Inc. for Greenleaf Parkway outdoor fitness equipment, passed 5-0; the city manager noted the contract contained a copy-paste error naming Fig & Oleander Park instead of Greenleaf Parkway and stated staff would correct it before signing. Three additional action items passed 5-0: $243,663 to Innovative Playgrounds Co., Inc. for Fig & Oleander Park playground work; $214,977 to End Point Wireless Inc. for security cameras at five parks; and $173,431 to JMC2 Engineering + Surveying for a second amendment to an engineering services agreement at the Alameda–State Route 91 corridor. On consent (5-0, no item-level discussion), the council approved $210,208 to WestNet, Inc. for a fire alerting system and $70,000 (recurring) to Waxie Enterprises for equipment and supplies; pulled from consent for separate 5-0 votes were $250,000 (recurring) to Oppenheimer Investigations Group, Norman A. Traub & Associates, and Jackson Lewis P.C. for investigation and legal services — the city manager stated existing vendors were over capacity — and $86,420 (recurring) to ESRI plus $46,359 to Versatile for GIS software, with Versatile's amount sitting just below the $50,000 council approval threshold; the State Water Resources Control Board collected $57,543 across two separate consent line items ($36,393 for a stormwater permit fee and $21,150 for a sewer overflow permit fee, both recurring). Approximately twelve members of the public addressed the council during general public comment, with multiple speakers demanding censure of Councilmember Spicer over credit card use currently under active DA investigation, several disputing the terms of the city attorney's departure settlement, and Richland Farms residents requesting postponement of preferential parking enforcement pending production of District 3 records.

Dec 16, 2025

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.

Dec 9, 2025

city council

The only new spending approved at the December 9, 2025 meeting was $4,643 for the Maxcy D. Filer Square street designation, passed 5-0; the structured agenda shows $4,560 of that total paid to a single vendor, El Gran Torino Corporation, with the remaining $83.01 listed as a separate line item — no additional vendor description or sole-source justification appears in the available materials, and the payment is split across two line items with no explanation provided. The council voted 5-0 to receive and file $89,369 in city credit card charges covering January through June 2025, but this is a financial records item, not a new spending authorization; the assistant city manager stated the purchasing card program has been suspended pending a formal investigation and asked that council not discuss the charges publicly to avoid compromising that investigation. The council voted 5-0 to amend the Olympics/Tourism Committee ordinance, increasing membership from 9 to 11 — the change was made on the floor after both original motions were withdrawn and re-entered — and the Key to the City Policy resolution was tabled when both movers withdrew their motions, with council directing staff to return the item with language distinguishing the honor from routine proclamations; neither item carries a disclosed expenditure. The charter committee reconvening (Item 4) was discussed but not voted on, with council directing staff to return the item the following week with stipend and skill-set recommendations; at least eighteen members of the public spoke during audience comments, with the largest concentrations addressing the mayor's announced intent to formally request removal of a Public Safety Commission member, Richland Farms parking permits, and the suspended credit card investigation.

Dec 2, 2025

city council

The council's largest spending approval was a $857,450 contract amendment with Dudek for groundwater remediation at Fire Station 1, passed 5-0 with no public comment on the item; the contract is broken into four sub-components ($505,000; $177,000; $97,500; $77,950), with one line at $97,500 sitting just below the $100,000 approval threshold, and all five Dudek line items across the agenda total approximately $1.71 million. The council also approved, 5-0, a professional services agreement with Agile Occupational Medicine establishing an open purchase order not to exceed $75,000 from the General Fund for occupational medicine services, also with no public comment on the item. The meeting's largest dollar figure — a $301.76 million investment portfolio balance and $3.11 million in first-quarter interest earnings — came from an informational City Treasurer presentation and represents no new spending. Ten members of the public addressed the council during general comment, most raising allegations of city credit card misuse by Councilmember Spicer and at least one other individual; the mayor announced she would call a special meeting that Thursday to address the credit card issue.
