city council

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.

city council

The council's only new expenditure was a $5,255 budget amendment authorizing a purchase order with Zumar Industries for road signs and supplies from the Measure P Fund, approved 5-0; the initial motion was withdrawn and re-voted after a council member flagged that the resolution incorrectly cited a temporary $75,000 single-vendor spending authority from a July 2024 measure rather than the standing $25,000 threshold, with the $5,255 amount falling well below either figure. The council also passed 5-0 the second reading of the Construction Labor Disclosure Ordinance, which requires contractors on large city construction projects to disclose prior labor violations; one speaker during the public comment period, representing the Western States Regional Council of Carpenters, addressed this item in support before the vote. The city manager presented the proposed FY 2025-26 budget — $262.3 million across all funds, $75.1 million in the general fund — at a required public hearing, but no budget was adopted; approximately nine members of the public spoke, raising concerns about specific streets absent from the capital improvement plan, the destination of cannabis license revenue, sheriff contract overtime accountability, and the absence of visible youth program spending. A separate AB 2561-required public hearing on the city's 21.6% vacancy rate (87 of 402 budgeted positions unfilled) drew two union representatives from AFSCME and SEIU who described labor contracts expired since June 2024, a $100,000-plus classification study contracted in 2023 that the city manager stated the vendor failed to complete as specified, and an average time-to-hire of 116 days, alongside three members of the public.
