Inglewood council adopts pay-range ordinance, hears holiday-event announcements and a nonprofit public comment

The Inglewood City Council on Nov. 25 unanimously adopted Ordinance No. 26-03, which establishes pay-range assignments and conditions of employment for fiscal year 2025–2026, following motions to waive the reading and adopt the ordinance.

Council members also approved minutes for the Aug. 26 and Sept. 9, 2025 meetings and completed routine consent business. The clerk recorded roll-call "Aye" votes from Council members Gray, Padilla, Morales, Fogg and Mayor James T. Butts on the consent calendar and the ordinance adoption.

During public comment, Tiffany Jackson of the nonprofit All 4 Kids introduced the organization and described planned workshops and a family resource center serving Inglewood, Hawthorne, Lennox and Lawndale. "My name is Tiffany Jackson. I work with the nonprofit All 4 Kids," she said, and offered resources for utility, housing and job assistance.

Council members used the meeting to highlight recent community service efforts around the holidays. Councilwoman Gray thanked parks and recreation staff and volunteers for the city's annual turkey giveaway and invited residents to a citywide holiday party and toy drive at Martin's Event Center. Councilmember Padilla announced a District 2 toy and canned food drive on Dec. 6 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the District 2 Community Center and reminded residents of city hall holiday closures.

Councilwoman Dionne Falk thanked sponsors for the SoFi Stadium turkey giveaway and noted additional district events, including a Darby Dixon toy giveaway on Dec. 6 and a winter wonderland event on Dec. 7. Council members also acknowledged private donors and sponsors who supported holiday distributions.

The council adjourned with holiday well-wishes to the community. No appointments to boards, commissions or committees were made at this meeting.
