city council

No new city spending was approved at the March 4, 2025 Compton City Council meeting; the two substantive action items were lease authorizations under which the city collects rent for space at the Neighborhood Center (600 North Alameda Street). The council approved a lease with Shields for Families at $3.02 per square foot (~$18,295 per month), 4-0 with Bowers not voting, and a lease with Volunteers of America at the same per-square-foot rate (~$10,301 per month), also 4-0 with Bowers not voting — the Volunteers of America motion was first withdrawn and recast after Council member Darden identified multiple resolution errors, including a wrong termination date (April 30, 2027, corrected to April 30, 2028), a misidentified tenant name in one section, and an improperly placed whereas clause. Volunteers of America is flagged as a repeat vendor, appearing in five line items across two agenda entries with a combined contract value of approximately $1.03M; both organizations had been operating under expired leases — Shields for Families for approximately two years and seven months at a prior rate of $1.40 per square foot, and Volunteers of America for approximately four years and eight months at $1.00 per square foot. Four members of the public specifically addressed items 3 and 4: Craig Henry identified himself as a Volunteers of America employee and stated he did not oppose the $3.02 rate but objected to the full 50.7% increase being applied at once rather than phased in; two other speakers called for the Mayor and Council member Spicer to recuse themselves, citing their appointment of Henry to city advisory and personnel committees as a conflict of interest.

city council

The council's largest expenditure approvals were a recurring $5 million payment to the Water Replenishment District of Southern California for groundwater assessment fees (5-0) and a $1.96 million road repair contract to Hardy & Harper, Inc. from Measure P funds (5-0), followed by a recurring $800,000 purchase order to the Metropolitan Water District for imported water (5-0). A $203,944 youth counseling services contract was approved 4-1 with Bowers dissenting — but only after the city manager disclosed on the floor that intended vendor VCH Prosperity Consulting DBA Compton Wellness ($92,600, just below the $100,000 approval threshold) had active state licensing board issues; the council substituted St. John's at the same amount while retaining Nimble Thoughts Counseling at $111,344, with Bowers noting that vendors were not adequately vetted before appearing on the agenda. The council also approved $62,436 split between Safe Life Defense ($24,487, just below the $25,000 approval threshold) and Axon Enterprise ($37,949) for code enforcement vests and tasers (5-0), and $139,980 to Villarruel Architects for Jackie Robinson Stadium renovation using CDBG funds (5-0). Four public speakers asked that Restoration Diversion Services — a human trafficking services nonprofit occupying city-owned space at 206 North Long Beach Boulevard — keep its lease at $1 per year; the council approved a one-year renewal at that rate (5-0), while a second lease item for the same organization and the Sylvia Nunn Angels lease item were both pulled by staff without a vote. The citywide salary schedule amendment was withdrawn before a vote after Councilmember Darden identified errors and a missing prior resolution, and will return at a future meeting.
