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 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.
