The council recap recording enumerated five resolutions, including: Resolution No. 8,567 (a consultant agreement with Last Parking California LLC for on-street pay parking and enforcement); Resolution No. 8,568 (establishing a four-way stop at Cedar Avenue and 122nd Street); Resolution No. 8,569 (approving wage terms for part-time employees represented by the Hawthorne Municipal Employee Association, with the recording noting the state minimum wage will increase to $16.90 per hour effective Jan. 1, 2026); Resolution No. 8,570 (a transfer agreement with the Los Angeles County Flood Control District under the Safe Clean Water Program, agreement no. 2024 MP 31); and Resolution No. 8,571 (appointing David L. Casares as interim city attorney and approving an appointment agreement).

Wheldon said council opened bids for Project No. 25-08 (Alley Improvement Project using CDBG funds) and referred the bids to staff for recommendations. The recording does not provide bid amounts or award decisions.

On staffing, the recap said Mayor Pro Tem Alex Montero gave a directive to make a contract for David L. Casares to become the official City Attorney and to make Acting Chief of Police Eric Lane the official Chief of Police at the council’s second meeting in January 2026; the recording summarizes the directive but does not include the formal contract language or effective dates.

Why it matters: the listed resolutions cover traffic safety, parking operations, employee wages, watershed funding transfers, and a key legal appointment. The wage-notice aligns with California’s announced state minimum wage increase; the recording does not include contract text, vote tallies, or staff reports.
