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.

city council

The council's largest spending approval was an open purchase order not to exceed $75,000 to Van Dermyden Makus Law Corporation for investigative and legal services, passed 5-0; the city manager stated the firm had already performed services without a contract due to 'logistical errors' and was unable to provide the outstanding prior-year invoice amount when asked — the firm appeared across three separate line items totaling $75,780, a split-payment pattern flagged in the structured agenda. A $70,670 agreement with UCLA Center for Prehospital Care for fire department nurse educator services, split across two line items ($70,560 and $110), was approved 5-0. A General Fund budget amendment passed 4-1 (Darden the sole no vote), allocating three amounts including $96,324 — flagged as sitting just below the $100,000 council approval threshold — along with $85,501 and $4,953; Darden objected to resolution sections placing city attorney-related positions within the mayor and council's budget department. The City Treasurer's fourth quarter investment report, showing $10.74M in interest earnings on a $315.56M portfolio, was received and filed 5-0 and was not a spending approval. Approximately thirteen residents addressed the council during public comment, with several raising fire department paramedic staffing shortages; the fire chief, brought forward by the city manager, disputed the severity of the staffing situation described by Battalion Chief Hernandez.
