city council

The single expenditure approved at the May 27, 2025 Compton City Council meeting was a $27,000 purchase order to Sherwin Williams for anti-graffiti paint, drawn from the Measure P Fund and passed 4-0 with Councilmember Duhart absent throughout the meeting. The council also approved first reading of an ordinance requiring labor violation disclosures from contractors on large construction projects, passed 4-0 (Duhart absent) after the full text reading was waived; three Western States Regional Council of Carpenters representatives spoke in favor before the vote and no members of the public opposed. Three scheduling items were approved without new spending: a public hearing on an AB 2561 vacancy rate review for June 3 (4-0, Duhart absent), a hearing on solid waste delinquencies for collection on the LA County tax roll for June 17 (passed — one public speaker and Councilmember Darton each stated opposition to placing trash bills on the property tax roll, but Darton voted yes after staff clarified the item applies only to multi-family and commercial accounts), and a HUD five-year consolidated plan hearing for June 24 (passed). The meeting also included informational-only presentations on coyote management, the ShotSpotter program (45 activations since going live in March 2025), and a new cellular-based citywide camera system intended to replace a 2007 system that staff stated is 95% inoperable; no spending was approved in connection with any of these presentations.

city council

The council's largest spending approval was a recurring $800,000 contract with the City of Downey for fire and emergency medical dispatching services, passed on the consent agenda 4-0 (Darden absent); the same vote covered three recurring regulatory and consulting payments — $53,975 to the State Water Resources Control Board, $34,050 to Price Paige & Company LLP for a CPA contract amendment, and $33,012 to the California Department of Industrial Relations — with one resident, Fidel Marquez, publicly opposing the Price Paige item during public comment. A $416,428 amendment to a construction contract with MDJ Management LLC for security upgrades at 404 N. Alameda passed 4-0 (Darden absent) following a presentation by Director Ward citing scope additions — drainage retention basins, ADA sidewalks, and interior cameras — not anticipated when the project was authorized in June 2023; Ward stated the project is approximately 80% complete. A $28,799 General Fund purchase order to HDL for municipal tax and audit consulting passed 4-0 (Darden absent); both HDL and Price Paige & Company LLP are General Fund consulting vendors approved at the same meeting, and HDL's amount falls just under $30,000. No new spending was approved for the Olympics/Tourism Committee ordinance (first reading only, no vote taken) or the exclusive negotiation agreement with the Wind Project for 21 affordable units at 1716 E. Rosecrans (4-0, Darden absent), though the Wind Project ENA drew multiple public objections in the concurrent successor agency session.
