Compton council approves purchase orders, HUD funds and several appointments; schedules CDBG/HOME hearing
Summary
The council unanimously approved a package of routine and new actions including a $100,000 purchase order authorization for pavement markings, acceptance of nearly $1.99 million in HUD HOME/ARP funds, appointments to a new Olympic committee and scheduling a Nov. 18 public hearing on CDBG/HOME reallocation.
Council approved several resolutions and routine items during the regular agenda. The council unanimously passed a resolution to rescind Resolution 26296 and authorize a purchase order with Roadline Products Inc. for pavement markings, equipment and materials in an amount not to exceed $100,000.
Council also approved an item listed in the agenda to amend the FY 2025–26 budget to appropriate fund balance and establish purchase orders with Toyota Material Handling Solutions, Quinn Company and Carson Trailer Inc. to pay outstanding invoices. The printed agenda shows the amount as “$233,5880”; staff did not correct the printed figure on the record. The council later approved a resolution to accept and appropriate HOME/ARP funds from HUD in the amount of $1,988,847.
Appointments and hearings: Council approved an item designating Councilmember Bowers as the League of California Cities voting delegate for the annual conference and took multiple appointments to a newly created Olympics committee (terms and duties are documented in the previously adopted ordinance and staff report). The city manager also requested and the council approved scheduling a public hearing on Nov. 18 to consider reallocation of CDBG and HOME funds.
Successor agency: The successor agency opened after the council adjourned and approved a temporary license agreement allowing a Christmas-tree vendor to use approximately 4,000 ft² of agency property at 2000 W. Compton Blvd. The rent discussed was $2,000 for a roughly 45-day sales window, calculated in the record as $0.50 per square foot.
