city council

The council's largest single spending approval was a recurring $800,000 contract to the City of Downey for fire and emergency medical dispatching services, approved 5-0; prior meeting records show Compton has paid Downey for this service since at least 2008 when the contract stood at $381,755, a figure that climbed to $850,000 in 2019 before this year's authorization, with individual calls billed at an additional $63 each. The 5-0 consent vote bundled $150,000 distributed across three fire apparatus vendors, $125,000 to Life Assist Medical Supplies, $120,000 to Jankovich Company for fuel, and $90,000 to Gateway Cities Council of Governments split into three transportation study payments—the largest individual COG payment ($45,000) sits just below the council's $50,000 approval threshold—while Item 6, a $50,000 budget allocation for agenda format changes, was tabled without a vote. Price Paige & Company LLP received approval for CPA services totaling $141,006 structured as three sub-$100,000 line items ($68,050, $36,478, and $36,478), a payment structure the agenda analysis flagged as a possible split; the council also authorized a housing development agreement at 1434 W. Compton Boulevard—under negotiation since 2020—involving $6.10M and $1.40M in city expenditures alongside $12.75M from the National Housing Trust Fund, passing 4-0-1 with Council Member Darden abstaining. A budget amendment creating new classified positions—including purchasing manager and civil engineering assistant roles tied to 2022 state auditor recommendations—passed 5-0, drawing $127,271 from the Local Housing Authority Fund and $30,000 from the General Fund; approximately fifteen members of the public addressed the council, with several speakers directing alarm at a separately presented, non-voted $40 million self-insurance fund deficit and at the absence of the elected city treasurer from the session.

The council approved the FY 2025-2026 budget totaling $262.32 million across all funds — including $89.71 million from the General Fund — 4-1 with Councilmember Darden dissenting, and authorized a right-of-way agreement for the Gateway Cities regional fiber optic network associated with a $103 million contract with the California Department of Technology and an incoming $46.1 million CPUC grant, approved 4-0 with Spicer absent. Angeles Contractor, Inc. — a repeat vendor appearing across three line items totaling approximately $1.97 million — received council chambers remodeling contracts under two separate agenda items (both 5-0); Alliant Insurance Services was authorized for a $4.5 million annual insurance portfolio renewal (5-0); and The Titan Group, also flagged as a repeat vendor in two line items on the same agenda totaling $335,716, received a $300,000-per-year Human Resources investigative services contract plus $35,716 for prior outstanding invoices (5-0). Further approvals included $199,790 to St. Nick's Christmas Lighting and Decor for holiday decorations (pulled for brief discussion then approved without changes, 5-0), $164,550 to Weaver and Tidwell LLP for ERP implementation project management (4-0, Spicer absent), $200,000 in CDBG funds for a senior Meals on Wheels program divided between Cuernavaca's Grill ($185,000) and Everytable ($15,000), a $202,456 subsequent-need payment to DUDIC for groundwater remediation (5-0), and $96,000 to Townsend Public Affairs — $4,000 below the $100,000 council approval threshold, passed through the consent agenda with no council discussion (5-0); the planned appointment of Councilman Spicer as Mayor Pro Tem was tabled after Councilmember Bowers requested legal advice before voting. Approximately nine members of the public spoke at the CDBG and HOME public hearing, raising concerns about the city's self-imposed matching funds requirement, a staff decision to redirect $15,000 originally recommended for Restoration Diversion into a council discretionary program, and whether CHIRLA should receive federal grant funding given public allegations of an ongoing federal investigation; the FY 2025-2026 Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan were approved with Spicer absent and Bowers' vote not recorded in the transcript.
