city council

The council's only spending action was approval of $4,878 in in-kind expenditures from the General Fund for the 22nd Annual Compton Stand Down for Veterans (September 19–21, 2025), with no recipient vendors named in the agenda; the item also carried three identical $813.04 budget allocations split across Council District 1, Council District 4, and the Mayor's overtime expense accounts — three separate account lines for the same amount, a split-payment structure worth noting. The consent item passed 3-0-1, with Councilwoman Bowers abstaining and Councilmember Darden absent; Bowers stated on the record that she objected to approving in-kind support for this event while the council had denied comparable support to the Compton Kids Club, calling out what she described as inconsistent treatment of nonprofits. The council also designated Councilman Andre Spicer as Mayor Pro Tem for fiscal year 2025–2026, a rotation required by CMC Section 2.1.16 that the city attorney confirmed did not require a vote; the elected city attorney disputed the legal opinion cited by the mayor, stating that any valid opinion must come through his office, not from outside counsel. At least eight members of the public addressed the council, with several speakers contesting Spicer's eligibility to hold a council seat, and others raising concerns about ICE enforcement procedures at city parks, nonprofit grant oversight, and fireworks enforcement.

The council approved a $225,000 contract to The Scanning Company for document scanning services paid from the General Fund (5-0) and an $83,000 contract to LiveView Technologies for two mobile surveillance cameras leased over 24 months using JAG grant funds (5-0). The Scanning Company is flagged as a repeat vendor: the single $225,000 approval includes three sub-$100,000 budget allocation line items — $50,000, $50,000, and $25,000 — summing to $125,000. A $3,612 consent item for in-kind contributions to the Veterans Stand Down passed 4-0-1 with Bowers abstaining; of nine public commenters, one described the item as campaign-related spending tied only to Districts 1 and 4. A legal services retainer agreement for fiscal years 2023–24 and 2024–25, covering outside law firms at rates up to $350 per hour, was not brought to a vote after the city attorney withdrew endorsement, citing firm performance concerns and noting in-house attorneys earn $50 per hour. A motion to receive and file the FY 2020–2021 audited financial statements — a non-spending informational item — was tabled after Councilwoman Duhart requested additional review time; the city controller stated the audit identified approximately $69 million in prior-period adjustments, and the external auditor stated FY 2022 and 2023 audits are targeted for completion by December 2024.
