Other Officials Present:
C. Cornwell, A. Godwin, R. Haley
INTRODUCTION OF SPECIAL GUESTS
Father Francisco, Our Lady of Victory Church, expressed his sincere gratitude to the Mayor
and City Council for their support of the 4th Annual Our Lady of Victory Carnival.
Theresa Bolts, Executive Director of Our Lady of Victory School, thanked the City Council for
allowing them to host the carnival another year and more specifically she thanked Councilperson
Sharif for being present to crown the queen of the event. Ms. Bolts explained that the carnival is
a major fundraising event for the church and through those efforts the school is supported and
kept viable. Ms. Bolts took the opportunity to introduce some of her students: Andrew Nava,
Serena Martinez, Martha Garcia and C.J. Smith.
Councilperson Sharif thanked Father Francisco for recognizing her and for giving her the
opportunity to participate in the event.
Mayor Brown thanked Father Francisco and Theresa Bolts for their service to the community.
Robert Ray, Compton resident, petitioned the City Council to vote "no" on Item No. 6
contending that 40,000 mailers distributed to the community will just barely make it before
Election Day. He maintained that it would be a waste of tax-payers dollars because 80% of
people do not vote, another 10% vote by mail, so only ten percent of the voting population will
read the mailers. He warned the City Council about a potential lawsuit from the school district
and stated that another city was fined by the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) last
week for mailing a similar letter.
*Councilperson Galvan entered the meeting at 3:48 p.m.
Benjamin Holifield, Compton resident, petitioned the City Council to continue to support Our
Lady of Victory Church and school as they have been doing a wonderful job in the community
for years. He went on to state that he is concerned that everyone is benefiting from Compton
except the citizens. He affirmed that billions of dollars will be made from the "Straight Outta
Compton" film and that the City will not even replace the $239,000 sign on Alameda Street
along the 91 freeway. He affirmed that any excuses and reasons for not replacing the sign and
opening the gate adjoining the Gateway Town Center and Blueline Transit should cease. He
questioned the need to spend money to acquire help from outside the City when the City has
30,000 unemployed residents. He suggested the City Council create a local agency whose sole
purpose is to generate and create revenue sources from new and existing businesses. Lastly, he
welcomed the new city manager Roger Haley and rallied the citizens together to vote "no" on
Measure S.
Patricia Simpson, Compton resident, maintained that the Mayor's position is honorary and that
she lacks the power of the City Council. Secondly, she stated that she heard the City Council
call the citizens retarded, stupid and ignorant a couple of weeks ago. She affirmed that she is
neither of those names and that she has never heard any politician refer to their constituents as
such.
Ms. Simpson stated that as a result, the citizens have decided to write 250 letters about
Councilperson Arceneaux, City Attorney Craig Cornwell, City Clerk Alita Godwin,
Councilperson Galvan and Mayor Brown. She questioned why the City is naming a park after
Councilperson Arceneaux and further stated that it looks as though the elected officials are being
paid to approve certain projects because they approved the development of the brickyard amidst
opposition from the community.
Basil Kimbrew, former resident, recognized Pat Moore, Councilperson Janna Zurita, Delores
Zurita, and Benjamin Holifield for supporting him early on in his career. He indicated that he
was thankful for the adversities he endured many years ago and that he is now ranked seventh in
the world of culinary arts. He announced his desire to buy a building in the second District to
teach the community of Compton how to cook for free; and that he was disappointed in
Councilperson Galvan for not attending the Homeless Veterans Stand-down.
Richard Earl Jr., Compton resident, requested a report on the total amount of money raised for
the State of City Address held in July 2015. He went on to inquire about a $250,000 allocation
from Washington D.C., received by the City of Compton and allegedly given to the Compton
Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Earl also inquired about $100,000 given to the City by Los Angeles
County Board Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas to be used for the refurbishing of the Compton
Campfire grounds and facilities.
Mayor Brown informed Mr. Earl and the community that a presentation is being prepared with
all council events hosted in the City for transparency sake.
Mayor Brown also mentioned receiving an email from Dr. Johnson, president of the Compton
Chamber of Commerce and member of the Concerned Citizens of Compton, referencing
$240,000 that the government alleged gave her for the Veterans Stand-down. Mayor Brown
contended that no government agency would issue a check to any one individual, and if this
money was given to the City of Compton, the City Council would have to accept it, and if funds
were spent, the City Council would have to approve them.
Mayor Brown clarified that the City has not received any grant funds in the amount of $240,000
from any government agency for the Homeless Veterans Stand-down.
Douglas Sanders, City Treasurer, reported that the City of Compton has not received any money
for the Homeless Veterans Stand-down.
Mayor Brown went on to state that the City of Compton did not pay to host the State of the City
Address; additionally the non-profit organization reimbursed the City within one business day to
use a city-owned facility.
City Treasurer Sanders confirmed that his office received funding from the non-profit after the
State of the City Address.
Councilperson Arceneaux also requested a report regarding all monies received for the
rehabilitation of Raymond Street Park.
Councilperson Arceneaux stated that it is news to her, that the City will name a park after her.
Ms. Arceneaux also stated that the council does not receive a salary.
Mayor Brown stated that she asked the City Clerk to do some research about Raymond Street
Park because she was preparing to bring a motion forward to surprise Councilperson Arceneaux
with a park recognition ceremony in honor of twenty years of dedicated service to the Compton
community.
Councilperson Arceneaux also mentioned that she would not be continuing to chair the Compton
Crime Taskforce because the Mayor started another program which she fully-supports.
Councilperson Galvan stated that he has always been a supporter of the Homeless Veterans
Stand-down and that he vouched for them to host the event at 600 North Alameda Street.
Additionally, Mr. Galvan stated that he signed for the event out of his special accounts funds and
provided hundreds of cases of water.
Mayor Brown asked the City Manager to present a report on the funds received on behalf of the
Compton Campfire facility.
Joe Harris, Compton resident, stated that he was so elated when the mayor dispelled the rumor
about the City of Compton selling the VFW Post 5394 building. However, he stated that he
received a phone call one week later indicating that the City Council recently authorized the sale
of the building.
Mayor Brown clarified that the City of Compton has not sold the VFW 5394 building, it is not
for sale, nor has it been sold.
Councilperson Zurita requested clarity from the City Manager regarding any negotiations
concerning the sale of the VFW 5394 facility.
F.C. Herbert, Compton resident, proposed that the City implement the local employment
opportunities shared during the Save Our Sons conference held at the Crenshaw Methodist
Church wherein Marquis Harris was the guest speaker.
Mr. Tatum, National Association for Equal Justice in America (NAEJA), petitioned the City
Council to document or approve a resolution assuring the Concerned Citizens of Compton that
the VFW Post 5394 building will not be sold.
Leon Harper, Compton resident and NAEJA member, stated that as a 45-year veteran, he is
happy to hear the rumors about the sale of the VFW Post 5394 being dispelled. He advocated
the City Council to unify with the community to make certain the City and the citizens are
moving in the same direction.
Marie Hollis, Compton resident and president of the Concerned Citizens of Compton
Committee, affirmed that the premises of the Concerned Citizens of Compton Committee is
"truth" and that they are only here to get the facts about rumors circulating in the community;
and that they want some consideration to their concerns and interests.
Marjorie Shipp, Compton resident, invited the elected officials to attend a "Candidates Forum"
scheduled to be held Thursday, October 29, 2015 at Our Lady of Victory Church at 7 p.m. Ms.
Shipp went on to question why the City Council feels the need to inform the citizens about
Measure “S”, but did not feel the need to do so when Compton College proposed their bond
measure.
Gilda Bluford, Compton resident, thanked the City Council, their liaisons, and city officials for
their collaborative efforts to make the Block Club Commission Breakfast extremely productive.
Autra Wynn, Compton resident, commended Mayor Brown for the way in which she answered
the citizens questions and concerns at the Block Club Commission Breakfast. She also thanked
City employees Nihim and Elijah from General Services for their assistance in preparing the
event.
Maria Villa Real, Compton resident, asked the Mayor to bring back the Spanish translation
devices to ensure her message is reached by the Spanish speaking community. Ms. Villa Real
affirmed that her position as the president of the Latino Chamber of Commerce is to ensure that
Spanish business owners are involved in hosting the Compton Christmas parade for the benefit
all local businesses.
Councilperson Galvan informed Ms. Villa Real that a Spanish-speaking translator is available at
every City Council meeting and the agendas are available in English and Spanish.
Lynn Boone, Compton resident, commended Councilperson Galvan for taking the initiative to
speak up on items that concern the citizens. She made reference to Item No. 9 and questioned
where the union is to represent the employees who were laid off. She stated that the background
documentation indicates that Labor Ready is based in Washington D.C. and have an office in
Compton. She also stated that throughout her research she discovered that every Labor Ready
company is being sued in a class-action lawsuit. She contended that the City does not need to
pay any company $80,000 to find people to clean up the City. Lastly, she stated that she hopes
the new City Manager will read the $25,000 signing authority resolution and make note that he
does not have the right to sign for things pertaining to just one councilperson.
Joyce Kelly, Compton resident, made comments in regards to elected officials having a bad
habit of not listening or looking at the speakers at the podium; and noted that she would write a
letter to the state bar association indicating that the City Attorney does not address violations to
the Ralph M. Brown Act. Ms. Kelly maintained that the citizens have a right to bring their issues
to City Council meetings under the First Amendment and Brown Act. Ms. Kelly also made note
that elected officials can accept a check coming into the City because she recalls it being done
before. She went on to inquire about a debit to offset the credit for the cost of the State of the
City Address and the $36,000 allocated towards the newly formed crime commission.
*Councilperson Zurita exited the meeting at 4:56 p.m.
Pat Moore, Compton resident, stated that she cannot believe the time and energy spent to
discuss issues unrelated to City business. She questioned how the community of Compton will
uplift itself when the citizens promote discord and confusion instead of extolling the elected
officials as trusted members of the community. She stated that she is glad that the council raised
the issue of the bond proposed by CUSD because no one knows what the plans are. She also
asked the following questions; 1) has anyone reviewed the master plan for the construction of
Compton High School and its facility improvements, 2) is the master plan available for citizens
to review, 3) what is the process for placing items on the ballot 4) were tax-payers given the
opportunity to ask any questions about the plan and 5) how are residents supposed to calculate
the increase of their taxes.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON
AMENDING CHAPTER VII OF THE COMPTON MUNICIPAL CODE BY
AMENDING SECTION 7-12.28 IN ITS ENTIRETY RELATING TO THE
REGULATION OF LOUD PARTIES AND ADDING SECTION 7-12.29 RELATING
TO SECOND AND SUBSEQUENT RESPONSE FEES (Second Reading)
On motion by Arceneaux, seconded by Sharif, to waive the reading of the ordinance in full, by
the following vote on roll call:
It was motioned by Arceneaux, seconded by Sharif, for discussion.
Councilperson Arceneaux asked the City Attorney to briefly explain the addendum to the
ordinance indicating that there will be an assessed fee the second time the Sheriffs' go out to
assess and shut down loud party.
City Attorney Cornwell stated that the second time the Sheriff's go out to the same residence,
within one year, property owners may be charged for reimbursement of the personnel needed to
enforce the ordinance. The rational being that, there is an inordinate amount of resources being
used for your particular property to inform you that you are disturbing the community.
Douglas Sanders, City Treasurer, stated that the problem he sees, is enforcement by Sheriffs'
deputies.
Mayor Brown stated that she perceives the problem to be the cost recovery mechanism for fines
issued.
City Treasurer Sanders suggested that the City create a party permit that residents have to
purchase in order to host a party on their property during which time they are educated on the
City's rules and regulations for hosting said party.
Councilperson Arceneaux stated that she co-wrote this ordinance with former Police Chief
Hourie Taylor years ago when the local law enforcement agency was the Compton Police
Department for the purposes of addressing illegal parties; and hopefully this ordinance will act as
a tool to give incentive to the Sheriffs’ Department to uphold the code in Compton.
On motion by Arceneaux, seconded by Sharif, Ordinance # 2,263 entitled "AN ORDINANCE
OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON AMENDING CHAPTER VII
OF THE COMPTON MUNICIPAL CODE BY AMENDING SECTION 7-12.28 IN ITS

Barbershop), Dr. Anthony E. Reid (Community Cardiologist), and Dr. Kimberlyn M. Dang
(Clinical Pharmacist) for their commitment to decreasing hypertension rates among African
American men and women and for their participation in the Los Angeles Barbershop Blood
Pressure Study.
Jenell Butler, Compton resident, stated that as a resident in the First District living on 136th
Street, she has been experiencing a pest infestation as a result of the development of the
brickyard by Trammel Crow Company. Ms. Butler mentioned that she contacted the state
senator, state assemblypersons, councilmembers, and Mayor Brown to resolve the issue but
subsequently only received a response from Congresswoman Janice Hahn. She went on to state
that Trammel Crow made a commitment to the residents to get rid of the pests and then
subsequently distributed a liability waiver asking them not to sue if they were bit or injured by
pests or pest control equipment, and the residents refused. In short, Ms. Butler stated residents
also received a letter from the general counsel of Trammel Crow indicating that they would not
be providing their services if they do not sign the waiver. Ms. Butler asserted that the company
has a social responsibility to the community to remedy this issue and further asked that members
of the City Council respond expeditiously as a press release will be circulated.
Mayor Brown directed the City Manager to schedule a townhall meeting with Trammel Crow
and the residents in the area to address these issues within 10 days.
Councilperson Zurita stated that she has been in constant dialogue with Trammel Crow via
email and have followed up with them to schedule a meeting with her and the company to
discuss said matters to ensure the concerns of the residents is addressed. Additionally, Ms.
Zurita asked that the City Manager hire a project manager to exclusively oversee the construction
of the development of the brickyard.
Councilperson Zurita made mention of commitments from Trammel Crow to renovate Jackie
Robinson stadium and provide job training.
Danielle Daniels, Compton resident, stated that as a homeowner living on 136th Street across
the street from the brickyard development, she has noticed a severe increase in dust, pests, and
rodents. She stated that particularly in her household, she can hear the rodents running
underneath her house at all hours of the night. She made mention of being a strong supporter of
the development before; however she indicated that she is very disappointed in what is
transpiring now. Lastly, Ms. Daniels announced that she would be present to attend the townhall
meeting and supports the idea of a project manager overseeing the project.
David Irons, Compton resident, stated that he could not understand why women are not upset by
the lack of maintenance of the Martin Luther King Jr. monument; citing that Martin Luther King
Jr. is the reason why women are allowed to be judges and sit on juries.
Benjamin Holifield, Compton resident, stated that he supports the idea of having a project
manager exclusively overseeing the brickyard development. He also made mention of reports of
poor plumbing and an infestation at Compton High School as well as a need for $350M to
renovate local schools. Mr. Holifield affirmed that he does not support any increase in resident
property taxes. He also articulated his support for the new City Manager and his ability to move
the City forward - and asked that city officials do what they promised the citizens they would do
when they ran for office.
Lornear Davis, wife of retired City Clerk and current member of the CUSD Board of Trustees
Charles Davis, asserted that the claims made by Patricia Moore last week, about her putting her
foot in the door stopping her from entering City Hall are not true.
Charles Davis, retired City Clerk, addressed statements made by Patricia Moore last week
regarding his wife. Mr. Davis stated that he was approached by citizens asking why Ms. Moore
would say those things about him and his family to which his reply was, “Maybe she was still
mad at him for being a key witness in her federal bribery case,” in which she was charged and
convicted of taking a bribe and went to federal prison. He also stated that he was told that Ms.
Moore is on the campaign payroll of the Compton Teacher's Union which an organization trying
to discredit him and other members of the Board currently running for office. Lastly, Mr. Davis
stated that he wishes the City Council would enforce Item No. 2 in the rules of decorum which
discourages slander.
Chuck Esters, asked that Mayor Brown direct the City Attorney and City Manager to educate
the community on the alternatives, as it relates to salaries of City Council members. Mr. Esters
stated that he believes they should be adequately compensated and maintained that if they are not
being paid, they will not respond to community issues. He affirmed that you get what you pay
for and that he tells his congregation all the time that he will preach for free, but they have to pay
him to pastor.
Sandra Moss, Compton resident, solicited the citizens of Compton to get educated and involved
in their local community.
Marie Hollis, Compton resident, referenced Item No. 7 on last week’s agenda wherein the City
Manager asked the City Council to consider hiring Labor Ready to provide temporary labor
services. She went on to question why there is a warrant on this week’s agenda requesting
payment in the amount of $15,360 to Labor Ready when the agency was not hired by resolution.
She stated that the citizens were told that the new City Manager was going to set the City straight
and put them on the path of correctness. She questioned how this happened, who took it upon
themselves to grant a contract of $80,000 to Labor Ready without authorization, and how the
City Council can pay a company for a contract that was not approved.
Joyce Kelly, Compton resident, stated that she is impressed with the number of people coming
out recently to express their concerns. She maintained that she has proven that the information
she provides is factual and that she is aware that she can speak to any of the elected officials
whenever she wants - but her intentions are to come to let the people know what is being done
behind closed doors. She went on to ask the City Council why the City would pay out nearly one
million dollars and need to continue to amend the budget that was supposedly balanced in June
2015. She affirmed that she knows the members of the City Council are incompetent and hopes
that the new City Manager will educate the Mayor and City Attorney on the Ralph M. Brown
Act and the citizens’ right to speak.
Lynn Boone, Compton resident, insisted that staff provide a status report on the camera
surveillance project before a public hearing is scheduled, as per Item No. 4. She also asked that
City Council members monitor and oversee the duties and functions of Ron’s Maintenance per
Item No. 13 to make certain the drains are cleaned out. She questioned how TEC’s
Environmental Services was selected as per Item No. 15; and why the warrant to Labor Ready is
double the amount requested per the invoice for Item No. 17. Lastly, she stated that
Councilperson Arceneaux deserves much more than a park - and argued that no one elected
official can give anything away in the City of Compton without prior consideration and approval
from the entire City Council.
Pat Moore, Compton resident, began by stating that she went to prison and paid her dues, and
that some people have done horrible things to others. She went on to state that she is troubled by
the information she read in a sexual harassment case against an elected official wherein a woman
was paid $150,000 because of acts committed against her. She affirmed that when a woman
stands and fights for something she has to pay the ultimate price. She asserted that she has no
issues against anyone other than the truth and that Councilperson Arceneaux, Delores Zurita and
herself have all had their lives compromised by Charles Davis. Lastly, she asked that every
likeness and image of Charles Davis be removed as a way to honor the women he sexually
harassed in the past.
Bishop Guillory, former Compton resident, stated that as the former spouse of Ms. Moore his
family was destroyed as a result of the actions of others. He went on to allege that Ms. Moore
was sexually harassed by Charles Davis and that the City has paid thousands of dollars in sexual
harassment claims. Lastly, he stated that he has an issue with Mr. Davis retiring from the City of
Compton and then sitting on the school board pretending to care about children's education.

SUBJECT:
BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE PUBLIC FINANCE
AUTHORITY – AN UPDATE REPORT OF THE PUBLIC
FINANCE AUTHORITY LEASE REVENUE BONDS SERIES
2008
SUMMARY
This update report contains the balance of the bond obligation, the associated bond interest
payable and the proceeds of the bond not yet spent but held with the Bond Trustee (US Bank) as
of October 31, 2015 in respect of the Public Finance Authority Lease Revenue Bonds Series
2008.
BACKGROUND
The Public Finance Authority (PFA) was established for the purpose of financing public capital
improvements, and to provide working capital for the City and the former Community
Redevelopment Agency. PFA currently has only one outstanding bond - the Public Finance
Authority Lease Revenue Bonds Series 2008 which was issued on May 1, 2008. The PFA Lease
Revenue Bonds Series 2008 was approved by the City Council with Resolution No. 22,536 dated
3/11/2008 to fully pay off an earlier bond issued in 1997 and to finance the following capital
projects (2008 Projects):
1. Rehabilitation of Compton City Hall for $5,200,000
2. Facilities improvement and equipment purchase for the City’s Parks in the amount of
$3,134,000
3. Purchase and installation of City-wide surveillance cameras for $2,000,000
4. Design and construction of Senior Citizen Center for $11,200,000
5. Design and construction of Parking Structure as part of the Transit Center revitalization
project for $8,366,000.
Pursuant to Resolution No 22,901 of July 28, 2009, the City Council made certain changes to the
definition of “2008 Projects” and reallocated funds in the PFA 2008 Lease Revenues Bonds
account for the purpose of financing those changes. Specifically, the City Council mandated that
the construction of the Senior Citizen Center and Parking Structure should be funded by the then
Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) and not from the Lease Revenue Bond. Therefore,
the amounts originally allocated for the Senior Citizen Center project ($11,200,000) and Parking
Structure project ($8,366,000) were reallocated to finance the Compton Police Project. After
commencement of the project, the City Council subsequently mandated that the Compton Police
Project should be discontinued, and ratified all costs incurred on the project.
Public Finance Authority
Page 2 of 4
Resolution No 23,422 of November 8, 2011 made further changes to the “2008 Projects” and
reallocated funds for the purpose of financing the changes. Specifically, the City Council
mandated that funds should be reallocated to finance the Martin Luther King Multimodal Transit
center in the amount of $4,000,000, the Compton Dispatch Center for $700,000 and debt service
payment of the Lease Revenue Bond in the amount of $7,000,000.
On July 2, 2013, the City Council approved further change to the “2008 Projects” with Resolution
No. 23,789 to include financing of further improvements to the Martin Luther King Multimodal
Transit Center in an additional amount not to exceed $665,000.
On July 28, 2015, the City Council approved the commencement of arrangements to refund the
Lease Revenue Bonds by using the unspent proceeds of the Bond for the partial repayment of the
Bond. The resolution authorized the allocation of an amount not-to-exceed $4,000,000 of the
unspent proceeds of the Bond to specifically pay the principal and interest of the Bond due on
September 1, 2015.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The table below shows the amount allocated to the initial projects (“2008 Projects”) approved by
the City Council with Resolution No. 22,536 dated 3/11/2008, the amounts of reallocation made
by the City Council with Resolution No. 22901 of 7/28/2009, the amounts of further reallocation
by the Council with Resolution No. 23,422 of 11/8/2011, the additional amount reallocated for the
MLK Transit Center with Resolution No. 23,789 of 7/2/2013, the amount spent on each project

BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE PUBLIC FINANCE
AUTHORITY – A REPORT OF THE CITY OF
COMPTON
2015/2016
TAX
AND
REVENUE
ANTICIPATION NOTES
SUMMARY
This report contains relevant information about the City of Compton 2015/2016 Tax and
Revenue Anticipation Notes (TRANS) issued in August 2015. Although the TRANS was
issued by the City and represents obligation of the General City, this report was included
here for the information of the Chairperson and Directors of the Public Finance Authority.
BACKGROUND
For several years, the City experienced cash flow problem during the first half of each
fiscal year (i.e. from July to December of each year). The cash flow issue was a result of
the fact that the City received bulk of its General Fund revenues (especially the Motor
Vehicle License Fee and Property Tax revenues) during the second half of the year. The
City received smaller amounts of General Fund revenues during the first half of each fiscal
year. This situation meant that the City had to delay payments to its vendors (during the
first half of each year) which resulted in strained relationship with the City’s critical
vendors.
To ensure that the City does not experience the annual cash flow problem, the City Council
authorized the issuance of $10.00 million Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes
(TRANS) to provide cash for financing the City’s operations during the first half of the
2015/2016 fiscal year.
The City will utilize the proceeds of the 2015/2016 TRANS to remain current in paying its
monthly bills until the revenue collections increased significantly in the second half of the
fiscal year. The TRANS will be fully repaid (principal and interest) in June 2016 utilizing
the General Fund secured revenues accumulated in a lock box from July1, 2015 to May 31,
2016.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The net proceeds of the TRANS of $9,712,500 (after deducting underwriter’s discount of
$90,000, and total issue expense of $197,500 as detailed below) was deposited with the
City’s Trustee (US Bank).
Page 2 of 3
The total issue expense of $197,500 represents professional fees of the Attorneys, Bond
Consultants, Capital Market Specialist, and Trustee engaged for the issuance of the
TRANS. The services of the professionals were necessary to ensure that the issuance of the
TRANS was properly documented, marketed to investors, registered with the necessary
Agencies and that all legal requirements were complied with. The fees were verified and
paid directly by the Trustee (US Bank) and the fees were deducted from the proceeds of the
TRANS deposited in the City’s US Bank account. Details of the professional services

REPORT OF LICENSE FEE REVENUES (BASED
ON THE GROSS REVENUES COMPUTATION)
RECEIVED FROM CELEBRITY CASINOS, INC.
FOR THE 2015/2016 FISCAL YEAR
SUMMARY
This report contains details of the license fee revenues received by the City (based on the
gross revenues computation) from Celebrity Casinos, Inc. for the 2015/2016 Fiscal Year.
BACKGROUND
Celebrity Casinos, Inc. (doing business as Crystal Casino and Hotel) is the licensee for
Card Club License No. 97-1. California Casino Management operated Crystal Casino and
Hotel until 2006.
Section 9-10 (titled “Card Clubs”) of the City of Compton Municipal Code established
regulations for the licensing and operations of gaming businesses within the City. Section
9-10.12 requires each licensee to pay the City a monthly fee, which shall be the greater of
a minimum amount of $104,166.66 or a percentage of the total monthly gross revenues of
the card game business as follows:
1. A minimum gross revenue license fee of $104,166.66 per month; or
2. A percentage of the monthly gross revenues of the Casino’s gaming business as
indicated below:

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

($19,046.86)
SUMMARY
This resolution authorizes the City Manager to execute a second (2nd) amendment to the
construction services agreement with Leverage Information Systems (“Leverage”) to expand the
scope of services to be performed, extend the contract term and increase the contract price for the
integration of ten (10) additional radio antennas from the existing wireless Ethernet network in
the “City of Compton Advanced Surveillance and Protection City-Wide” (“ASPC”) Project
(CFD-0814) with the Centracs Advanced Transportation Management System (“ATMS”)
installed by Econolite Control Products, Inc. (“Econolite”) for the Traffic Management and
Operations Center (“TMOC”) Project (Capital Improvement Project #12-01)..
BACKGROUND
The Public Works and Municipal Utilities Department (“Department”) is in the process of
deploying a state-of-the-art TMOC to manage and control all one hundred and thirteen (113)
existing signalized intersections within City boundaries. Due to budgetary constraints the project
will be implemented in two Phases: Phase I consisting of forty-eight (48) intersections and
Phase II consisting of sixty-five (65) intersections. In the current fiscal year only Phase I is
planned for implementation. Pursuant to Resolution No. 23,819, adopted on September 3, 2013,
Econolite was awarded the contract to install the Centracs ATMS for the TMOC Project. The
major components of the TMOC Phase I are:

Leverage Information Systems/Expand Scope, Extend Term,
Increase Contract Price to Integrate 10 Radio Antennas with
Econolite’s Centracs Advanced Transportation Management System
November 10, 2015, Page 2
1. Installation of a wireless Ethernet network (radio antennas) at forty-eight (48) distinct
signalized intersections as general traffic data collectors/transmitters.
2. Installation of five (5) aggregating radio antennas atop the Compton Courthouse to
collect and transfer all data from the general traffic collectors/transmitters back to the
Martin Luther King Transit Center (“MLKTC”) for processing by the Centracs ATMS
unit.
3. Installation of all components of the Centracs ATMS unit at MLKTC.
The Compton Courthouse building is currently managed by the Judicial Council of California
(“Judicial Council”). After several attempts to acquire rooftop access with the Judicial Council,
the City was informed by the Judicial Council’s facilities manager that due to the recent
deployment of the “Los Angeles Regional Interoperable Communications System” (“LA-RICS”)
project at the Compton Courthouse rooftop, access for any other project had been cancelled for
the next one hundred and twenty (120) days. This delay caused the City to look for other
alternatives to proceed with the installation of the five (5) aggregating radio antennas required
for the TMOC Project.
A feasibility study to relocate the installation of the five (5) aggregating radio antennas from atop
Compton Courthouse building was conducted and two prime locations were identified:
a. LA Crystal Hotel located at 123 East Artesia Boulevard, Compton, CA 90220. The height
of the nine-story building was deemed adequate to overcome most line of sight wireless
issues but due to its location on the City’s southern terminus this option requires the
installation of costly additional wireless repeaters. This option was abandoned after
making several attempts to discuss with the Hotel’s management staff the granting of a
license to install antennas on the rooftop area.
b. MLKTC located at 310 North Willowbrook Avenue, Compton, CA 90220. The main
advantage of using the geographical location for both the ATMS Centracs unit and all
aggregating points is that only one (1) central aggregating antenna is needed to collect the
wireless data from all repeaters across the City. However, the height of the two-story
building was deemed inadequate to overcome most line-of-sight wireless issues which
would require that the single aggregating antenna to be installed on top of a mast at least
thirty (30) feet high, incorporating both structural and aesthetical issues into the redesign
process. This option also requires the installation of costly additional wireless repeaters.
Another project being implemented by Leverage and administered by the Fire Department is the
“City of Compton Advanced Surveillance and Protection City-Wide” Project. Both the ASPC
Project and the Centracs ATMS each require the installation of their own wireless Ethernet
network (radio antennas) and aggregating radio antennas atop the Compton Courthouse to collect
and redirect all data from the general collectors/transmitters for processing. Due to the similar
nature of the two (2) projects, the advantages of merging their hardware infrastructure at
geographically common street intersections are as follows:
1. Eliminates the need to pursue the expensive and time consuming processing of applying
for an access and construction permit from the Compton Courthouse managing authority
or any other prospective location. The aggregating antennas already installed at the
Courthouse for the ASPC Project can also be used to collect and redirect all data from the
general traffic collectors/transmitters back to the MLKTC for processing by the Centracs
ATMS unit.
2. Eliminates potential interference between the radios from both projects at common
locations due to insufficient separation of the frequencies of the wireless spectrum
utilized by both systems.
3. Eliminates hardware duplicity of radios and their ancillary equipment thus providing
savings to the City.
4. Eliminates potential maintenance and liability issues by avoiding the installation of two
(2) wireless networks from different vendors.
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
On April 14, 2015, pursuant to Resolution No. 24,122, the City Council authorized the City
Manager to execute a first (1st) amendment to the construction services agreement with Leverage
to expand the scope of services, extend the contract term and increase the contract price for the
integration of thirty-eight (38) radio antennas from the ASPC project into the ATMS for the
TMOC project for costs in the amount of $176,552.16. Pursuant to the contract amendment, the
project was to be completed within 46 working days (April 24th to June 30th). However, due to
the expansion of Phase I of the TMOC project from the original thirty-eight (38) to forty-eight
(48) intersections, the City desires to enter into a second (2nd) amendment to the agreement with
Leverage.
Section 4.3 “Extension” of the contract with Leverage provides that the Contract Time shall not
be extended except by change order issued in accordance with the contract documents.
Therefore, the City has the right to make whatever changes it deems necessary or desirable to the
project which constitutes a scope change through the process of a change order.
A change order is a written order signed by the City and Contractor, and issued after the
execution of the contract authorizing an adjustment in the contract price and/or contract time.
Therefore, the contract price and contract time can only be adjusted by change order. Therefore,
staff is recommending that this action be brought to City Council for approval.
A total of thirty-eight (38) intersections out of the original forty-eight (48) for Phase I of the
TMOC Project were identified as having common geographical locations with the ASPC Project.
However, during the execution of Phase I it was concluded that an additional ten (10)
intersections could be integrated into the existing ATMS. The aforementioned ten (10)
intersections need to be provided with all the integration hardware and software necessary to
communicate back to the Centracs ATMS unit at MLKTC via the currently installed five (5)
aggregating radio antennas atop the Compton Courthouse from the ASPC Project.
Additional costs were also incurred due to the installation of media converters since some
conduit runs exceeded the 330 feet certified limit for CAT 5e cable as a medium.
A narrative of all contract issues warranting a change in both time and price to this contract are
as follows:
I. Change Orders
Time Component
The TMOC has experienced delays due to the following activities in addition to the scheduled
scope of work for this contract:
Items
Change order requests
Additional time to finish all contract work, process payment
applications and file notice of completion.
Total:
Working Days
23 (Exhibit A)
129
____________
152 days
The aforementioned delays have caused the project to go beyond the term of the contract. The
project is still under construction with an expected completion date of February 28, 2016. The
City continues to receive and process monthly invoices from the contractor. However, in order to
continue paying the contractor, the contract term must be extended until completion of the
project. As a result, the City would like to extend the contract for an additional 152 working days
(through February 28th), effective back to July 16, 2015 since the contract time had already been
extended by change order number 6 from July 1st to July 15th.
Cost component
A total of fifteen (15) change orders totaling $36,702.08 presented in Exhibit A requiring
authorization from City Council. However a portion of the aforementioned total will be paid
from the ten percent contingency in the amount of $17,655.22 authorized for this project.
Therefore funding in the amount of $19,046.86 is necessary to compensate the contractor for the
additional scope of work.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds in the amount of $19,046.86 are available in the Public Works/Municipal Utilities 20152016 Fiscal Year budget in Account No. 1900-710-000-4262.
RECOMMENDATION
The Public Works/Municipal Utilities Department recommends the City Council authorize the
City Manager to amend the construction services agreement with Leverage Information Systems
to expand the scope of services, extend the contract term and increase the contract price to
Section 4.3 of the contract for the integration of its existing wireless Ethernet network with
Econolite’s Centracs Advanced Transportation Management System (ATMS) in the Traffic
Management and Operations Center (TMOC) project.

DEPARTMENT’S 2015-2016 FISCAL YEAR BUDGET TO COMPLETE
THE STREET REHABILITATION PROJECT CDBG #13-02 ($884,946)
SUMMARY
This Resolution amends the Public Works / Municipal Utilities Department’s 2015-2016
Fiscal Year budget to allocate funds necessary to complete the Street Rehabilitation
Project CDBG #13-02.
BACKGROUND
Street Rehabilitation Project CDBG #13-02 provides necessary improvements to
approximately 5.5 miles of streets within eligible Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) areas throughout the City of Compton. Specific improvements included removal
and replacement of failed pavement sections, placement of 2-inch thick asphalt overlays
across the entire street width, removal and replacement of damaged curbs, gutters and
sidewalks, and removal and replacement of existing neighborhood traffic calming
devices. Also, new pedestrian ramps were installed, existing pedestrian ramps were reconstructed to current standards, and existing roadway signing and striping were
removed and replaced.
On December 16, 2014, pursuant to Resolution No. 24,064, the City Council awarded a
contract to COPP Contracting Inc., in the amount of $2,091,073.36 and a contingency
amount of $209,100, totaling $2,300,173.36 for the Street Rehabilitation Project.
The project began in FY 2014-15 (March 2015) and was estimated to be complete in FY
2015-16.
The project has experienced challenges during construction.
The
construction plans were not representative of the actual field conditions; construction
quantities had to be adjusted which resulted in multiple change orders; the work scope
was revised to add of two additional streets (Acacia between Bennett and Glencoe;
Aprilia between Alondra and Claude) which required construction plans to be developed
for this additional work.
The initial contract time was 60 working days with a scheduled completion date of June
3, 2015. The items in the above paragraph impacted the initial construction schedule
which requires an additional 64 working days (a total of 124 working days) of contract
time to be added to properly close out the project.

COMPTON AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO TRANSFER
THE CITY’S REVOLVING LOAN FUND (RLF) IN AN AMOUNT
NOT TO EXCEED $370,000 TO PACIFIC COAST REGIONAL
(PCR) SMALL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION
SUMMARY
A Resolution authorizing the City Manager to transfer the Economic Development
Administration (EDA) Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) to Pacific Coast Regional Small
Business Development Corporation (PCR) for the administration of small business
loans in Compton.
BACKGROUND
In 1983, the City of Compton received funding from the U.S. Department of Commerce
Economic Development Administration (EDA) division to implement a
commercial/industrial revolving loan fund to assist small businesses. In order to
participate in the program, the City was required to provide matching funds for the
program. The City of Compton received $500,000 from EDA, and the City contributed
$500,000 for a total of $1,000,000 for program administration and business loans.
The
Compton
RLF
program
offered
commercial
loan
financing
for
industrial/manufacturing businesses up to $150,000 and loans for retail and service type
businesses up to $100,000. Before a business could receive RLF funding, it was
required to meet EDA Revolving Loan Fund credit underwriting standards and program
requirements. Applications for Revolving Loan Fund financing were also reviewed and
recommended by the Loan Review Board, which was appointed by the Mayor and
Council. The Mayor and Council, in turn, served as the RLF Administration Board and
had the authority to render decisions on loan applications and to discharge
nonperforming loans in accordance with EDA policies and procedures.
Since the program’s inception in 1983 to 2010, the City processed a total of 18 loans of
which 13 were repaid in full and five (5) defaulted. The summary for the Revolving Loan
Fund (RLF) activity is shown in the following table:

Based upon its review of the City’s semi-annual report dated March 2008, the EDA
determined that the City had a high default rate (100% default from that reporting
period) and requested a corrective action plan. Although a corrective action plan was
submitted, the economic downturn and sequential staffing changes precluded a
successful implementation of the plan.
In November 2012, the EDA formally suspended the Revolving Loan Fund award and
required all lending activity ceased. From that point, the only permissible activities were
those related to loan collection and other activities needed to safeguard the assets of
the Fund.
ANALYSIS
Because the City has been unable to restore program administration to the levels
required of the EDA grant and to allow a resumption of lending activity for small
businesses in Compton, the Economic Development Administration (EDA) has strongly
recommended the transfer of the award to a local non-profit positioned to service the
Compton business community. The non-profit identified is Pacific Coast Regional (PCR)
Small Business Development Corporation.
Pacific Coast Regional is a private, non-profit corporation founded in 1977 to assist
small business owners in becoming successful members of the Southern California
business community. Through contracts with the Federal Government, the State of
California, and partnerships with private institutions, PCR provides financial,
educational, and consulting services. In addition, PCR has been certified by the U.S.
Treasury as a Community Development Financial Institution. The organization will be
relocated to Compton with a satellite office in the new Neighborhood Housing Services
center located on Rosecrans Blvd.
Transferring the Fund retains federal funds for small business assistance in Compton
just as the City is focusing more intently on its business development activities. Pacific
Coast Regional is well established with the Economic Development Administration
(EDA) and comes highly recommended; thus, promising a high level of service in this
specialized business development area.
RECOMMENDATION
The recommendation is to authorize the City Manager to enter into a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) with Pacific Coast Regional and to issue a letter to the U.S.
Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration (EDA) requesting a
transfer of the remaining portion of the Revolving Loan Fund (an amount not to exceed
$370,000) to PCR to be effective by November 15, 2015.
ALTERNATIVE
The alternative is the termination of the federal award, the loss of the federal Revolving
Loan Fund dollars to the Compton business community, and a negative record with the
EDA for the City of Compton.
