Summary
The council approved audited financial statements, amended its auditor contract, adopted labor MOAs, renamed Community Improvement to Public Safety, approved a zero-emission bus rollout, advanced several assessments and project lists, and authorized consultant contracts — several items were tabled for additional information.
Below are the principal actions the Compton City Council approved or considered on April 28, 2026. This roundup lists each item, the council vote outcome if recorded, and brief context.
• Receive and file FY2023–24 audited financial statements and single audit (Item 18) — Approved by roll call. The auditors gave a clean opinion on the financial statements while reporting material weaknesses and federal-program findings.
• Auditor contract amendment for Eden Payne LLP, FY2024–25, $232,885 (Item 19) — Approved by roll call. The scope includes the financial-statement audit, single audit, agreed-upon procedures and related reporting.
• Department reorganization: amend classification plan and rename Community Improvement Department to Public Safety (Item 20) — Approved. The change creates a public-safety supervisor classification and aligns code/security and security supervision under a single department to strengthen liaison with the sheriff.
• Labor agreements (Items 21–23) — Approved. The council ratified multi-year memoranda of agreement (MOAs) covering management employees (CMEA), AFSCME (local 3947), and Compton Firefighters Local 2216 for FY2024–29, with councilmembers emphasizing workforce stability and competitive compensation.
• Zero-emission bus rollout plan (Item 24) — Approved. As required by the state Innovative Clean Transit regulation, the city will transition its small fleet to battery-electric buses (replacement of nine conventional buses) and submit the plan to the California Air Resources Board.
• SB1 project list (road maintenance) and assessment proceedings (Items 25–27) — Approved. Council adopted the FY2026–27 SB1 road list, initiated levy and collection proceedings for the Landscape & Lighting Assessment District and preliminarily approved engineers’ reports for property-related sewer service charges; public hearings to be set per statutory requirements.
• Caltrans Community Cleanup & Employment Pathway Grant appropriation $200,000 (Item 28) — Motion withdrawn and item tabled because it required four votes and additional review.
• AP Triton LLC professional services agreement to support an LA County RFP response on ambulance/transportation services ($268,285) (Item 29) — Approved. The fire department seeks to regain transportation/ambulance service contracts and used the consultant to prepare a timely response.
