PROCLAMATION - PROCLAMING MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS AWARENESS MONTH
- Mayor Aja Brown (Presentation made)
Robert Ray, Compton resident, encouraged the citizens of Compton to exercise their right to
vote on April 21, 2015. He also expressed his support for Barbara Calhoun and Bryan Parker as
representatives for the First District for the Fourth Districts.
Donna Koffman, Compton resident at 906 N. Santa Fe, petitioned the City Council to board up
or fence the property located at 904 N. Santa Fe because it is an eyesore and has caught fire on
two occasions.
Councilperson Galvan directed the City Manager to inspect the property, address the issue, and
replace her fence.
Benjamin Holifield, Compton resident, encouraged the City Manager to attract a proportion of
the economic development coming to the local communities by collaborating with the business
community as a result of the Carson and Inglewood stadiums. He suggested that the meetings
begin with prayer and urged an effort by the department heads to mingle and sit amongst
audience members to educate them on the process of acquiring business licenses and permits.
He voiced a need for a City of Compton sign along the 91 freeway in addition to opening the
gate between the Gateway Towne Center, Blueline Transit, and Crystal Casino & Hotel as a
means to addressing the City's $43M deficit.
Courtney Bib, famous bike rider, commented on a bike trip he began on October 1, 2014 from
New York City in an effort to promote the significance of giving back in America. He indicated
that he chose twenties cities and in each city he works for a charity for three days and in
Compton he is working for Tomorrow's Aeronautical Museum. He stated that he is amazed by
his journey, living in the moment and being able to see and articulate that there are people in this
country willing to put others first. He went on to invite the community to attend Tomorrow's
Youth Air Fair & Legacy Gala to be held Saturday, May 9, 2015 at the Compton Airport
beginning at 10 a.m.
Harold Johnson, Compton resident, thanked Councilperson Zurita for supporting the Compton
Little League grand opening a couple of weeks ago in which 150 youths participated. He went
on to petition the City Council to assist them in facilitating a world class training facility at
Gonzales Park that would allow the youth a play to learn and practice their baseball development
skills.
Beattie Carroll, Compton resident, urged and encouraged each of the elected officials to
rededicate themselves to the job of representing the citizens of Compton.
Iyanna Jordan, Compton resident, alleged that Mayor Brown fraudulently created the Compton
Empowered organization. She stated that she worked for Mayor Brown for 14 months and has
refused to pay her and as a result she is homeless with three children. She maintained that
Mayor Brown has lied on her and stated that she is insane and that she was a volunteer. She
indicated that she asked Mayor Brown to explain to City Council members and city officials how
a volunteer has access to confidential information. She alleged that she worked in Mayor
Brown's office for 14 months, was required to do a Livescan and full physical, but has not been
paid.
Mayor Brown clarified that she has documentation indicating that Ms. Jordan was a volunteer in
her office.
Mayor Brown stated that she has had several interns working with her, all of which have fulltime employment. However, due to personal issues, incomplete assignments and poor
attitude Ms. Jordan was dismissed from her office.
Mayor Brown asked that her liaison make copies of the documentation and made note that she
and the city manager identified funding and made plans to bring Ms. Jordan on board if she
completed her assignments. Additionally, she has several emails indicating that she was missing
in action for several months and she just did not think her work ethic was acceptable for the
Mayor's office so she declined to make that opportunity available to her.
Ms. Jordan stated that she has evidence against Mayor Brown indicating the dollar amount owed
to her, the amount of months she worked, and how many hours she worked per week on her
letterhead with her signature on the bottom of the page from her chief of staff.
City Manager Ford indicated that there was an internship program in which Ms. Jordan was
apart of, however they parted ways.
Lorraine Cervantes, Compton resident, announced the Compton Chamber of Commerce,
Concerned Citizens of Compton, and National Counsel of Negro Women Candidates
Forum event to be held Saturday, March 28, 2015 in the Council Chambers. The First District
forum will be conducted from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Fourth District from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. VFW
Post 5394 will be celebrating their 50th Year Anniversary in the City of Compton Saturday,
March 28, 2015 beginning at 5 p.m. Compton Chamber of Commerce Installation Luncheon
will be held Friday, April 3, 2015 with Assemblyman Mike Gipson as the guest speaker. She
also announced the recertification of Compton Community College.
Drexell Johnson, business owner, voiced his support for the brickyard development and
asked to have an opportunity to be a part of the process as it moves forward.
Terrance Cumby, Compton resident, asked if it is possible for the City to establish a shuttle
program to transport Blueline Transit riders to the Gateway Towne Center. He inquired about
the development of South Park and expressed his support for the brickyard development in
addition to an E-Commerce fulfillment facility in the City of Compton.
Barbara Calhoun, Compton resident and former councilperson, spoke in opposition to the
brickyard development citing that it will cause sickness and profit the City only pennies as
opposed to the billions of dollars it will generate for the property owners.
Gerald Pickens, Compton resident, spoke in support of the brickyard development due to the
potential of paved streets and funding for youth programs.
Lynn Boone, Compton resident, stated that the closed session is devoid of information so the
City Manager is not being fired nor is his job performance an issue. She went on to state that
studies were conducted on the brickyard development in 2006 costing near one million dollars
which resulted in the citizens being surveyed and stated that they wanted the property to be light
commercial/residential. She stated that the information has not been distributed to the entire
community and will affect the entire City of Compton.
Ms. Boone affirmed that the project was changed several times and the community was not
notified that the trucks will travel down Rosecrans to Wilmington Avenue and she did not
receive any notifications. She indicated that the problem with this development is that the diesel
trucks will travel down Wilmington passing two schools, cross in front of Food4Less, pass Fire
Station No. 1, and is inconspicuously located in the heart of the City of Compton's residential
neighborhood. She declared that Councilperson Zurita does not live in the First District, but in
fact lives on Norwood in the Third District so she is unconcerned about the health of the
residents of the First District.
Sharon Johnson, Compton Library manager, invited the community participate in the following
events held at the Compton Library:
Exhibit of African American Miniature Museum Articles
Thursday through Saturday, April 16-18th from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Rock Johnson, member of the Amer-I-Can, I Can Youth & Compton Empowered, assured the
community and members of the City Council that there are numerous ex-gang members working
to stop the violence in the City of Compton.
Frederick Staves, Compton Empowered and the Transitions to Greatness Gang Prevention and
Intervention program, solicited the support from the entire community to help stop the senseless
murders of numerous youth in the City of Compton.
Danielle Daniels, Compton resident, spoke in support of the brickyard development due to a
potential increase in funding, such as street improvements, perimeter-landscaping, and the
economic impact of over 400 jobs. She went on to state that with this increase in funding, the
City should consider budgeting additional revenues for educational youth programs.
Anita Williams, Compton resident, expressed her support for the brickyard development due to
the employment opportunities it will offer local residents.
Jennell Butler, Compton resident, stated that as a 50+ year resident on the corner of 136th and
Central she has the expectation that this City Council to approve the brickyard development
because the benefits outweigh the cons presented this evening.
Grace Bussey, Compton resident, spoke in opposition to the brickyard development because the
property owners will only pave the streets surrounding the development. She also noted that it is
her understanding that Compton will be responsible for all other streets. She indicated that the
City should be very careful about approving projects based on their due diligence and held that
she is investigating the effects of corporations constructing projects in poor neighborhoods
throughout the state of California.
Ernest Green, second vice president of the NAACP, stated that the City Council should have
received a letter from the National NAACPP organization detailing the names of the NAACP
Compton Branch. He indicated that the letter is official and that he hopes he does not have to
return.
Paulette Gibson, state officer and president of the NAACP Compton Branch, declared that she
is the first woman president of the NAACP Compton Branch and proud to represent the branch.
She clarified that she owns her own home on 126th Street in the City of Compton and that prior
to her becoming president the Compton Branch had not been in compliance in ten years, but for
the past 7 seven years they have been in compliance.
6:00 P.M. - PUBLIC HEARING - FOR A ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT TO CREATE
A MODIFIED PARKING REQUIREMENT (ITEM #16)
On motion by Zurita, seconded by Galvan, the public hearing was opened at 7:19 p.m. by the
following vote on roll call:
AYES: Council Members - Zurita, Galvan, Arceneaux, Jones, Brown
NOES: Council Members - None
ABSENT:Council Members - None
Robert Delgadillo, Planning Department representative, offered a presentation requesting that
the City Council consider an ordinance adopting regulations which will create flexibility in the
parking code to allow for the creation of a Modified Parking Requirement (“MPR”) for any land
use that can demonstrate the provision of adequate parking less than the amount specified in the
zoning ordinance or through other means such as shared parking and valet parking.
BACKGROUND
The parking section of Chapter 30 of the Compton Municipal Code (“CMC”) contains fixed
parking ratios based on the amount of building square feet, the number of seats, auto bays or
other criteria that determine the required minimum amount of parking a given land use/business
must provide to be in compliance with the CMC. This method of ensuring adequate parking
works for the majority of uses, howeve,r there are times when specific land uses/businesses that
may not require the amount of parking specified in the CMC due to unusual circumstances or
special/unique characteristics of the land use. If that is the case, a Planning Commissionapproved variance is the only process authorized to seek relief from strict compliance with the
CMC requirements.
The proposed code amendment would allow additional flexibility by providing business/property
owners and/or developers an additional tool to more accurately tailor the amount of parking
provided to the actual operational characteristics of the land use. This results in the avoidance of
building unnecessary parking spaces and allows smaller sites to become economically viable
development opportunities.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The proposed code text amendment provides a simpler and more objective means to modify the
minimum parking required without having to file a separate variance application and going
through a separate entitlement process. This “MPR” allows for a wider range of development
opportunities in Compton by opening up the potential for an alternative parking requirement. The
“MPR” will not be applied without careful analysis.
Before an MPR can be approved the business owner or developer must have a registered
transportation or civil engineer prepare a parking study or similar study that supports the parking
provided which is different than amount required from the CMC.
The study will use surveys of similar uses and established transportation methodology to provide
justification that the amount of parking proposed will be adequate for the proposed land use. If
after reviewing the parking study staff agrees with the findings of the parking study, the MPR
will be approved by either the Planning Commission and/or the City Council.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA” - Public Resources
Code, Division 13 §21000 et seq.) an Initial Study (IS) for the project was prepared by EcoTerra
for the City of Compton which identifies and evaluates the environmental impacts of the project.
The City of Compton, in its capacity as Lead Agency, has determined that the proposed project
requires a Mitigated Negative Declaration (“MND”) and mitigation monitoring plan, as part of
its environmental review.
A Mitigated Negative Declaration is a determination that the proposed project will have less than
significant environmental impacts on the environment with the implementation of the mitigation
measures. All mitigation measures proposed in the IS/MND have been incorporated as
conditions of approval under “Mitigation Based Conditions”.
The IS/MND environmental document was posted in the Los Angeles County Clerk’s Office in
Norwalk, posted on the City of Compton Planning & Economic Development Department’s
webpage and circulated to service providers and public agencies for a 30-day public review
period from December 22, 2014 to January 21, 2015 and comments were received from the
SCAQMD, Los Angeles County Fire Department, CALTRANS, Los Angeles County Sanitation
and a Compton resident. The Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration includes the required
response to comments resulting from the required public review period and is contained with the
MND as Section 21.
A public hearing was held by the Planning Commission on February 11, 2015, and the Planning
Commission approved for Negative Declaration No. 933 as adequate for Zoning Text
Amendment 2014-003, in addition to recommending that the City Council approve Zoning Text
Amendment 2014-003, subject to revised Finding No. 1, as follows:
“The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council find that the proposed use
conforms to the standards of the Zoning Ordinance upon the adoption of a zone text amendment
entitled: “An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Compton Amending Chapter 30
(Zoning Code) of the CMC by Deleting Section 30-21.11.C and adding Section 30-21.12.1 to
Establish Regulations For A Modified Parking Requirement.”
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no anticipated fiscal impact to the General Fund from this ordinance. The ordinance
amends an existing section of the Compton Municipal Code. RECOMMENDATION Adopt the
attached Ordinance for Zoning Text Amendment 2014-03, deleting Section 30-21.11(c) and
adding Section 30-21.12 to the Compton Municipal Code.
PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THE HEARING
Barbara Calhoun, Compton resident, spoke in opposition to the proposed modified parking
requirement and anything related to the brickyard development.
Beattie Carroll, Compton resident, spoke in opposition to the brickyard development citing
health concerns for the community resulting from the diesel trucks traveling in and out the City
of Compton.
Grace Bussey, Compton resident, asserted that zoning text amendment is nebulous and
questioned why a picture of where the abbreviated parking would be located.
Mr. Delgadillo answered that there is no picture because this is a zoning code text amendment
and does not determine location of the parking; it has to do with what is considered adequate
parking.
Lorraine Cervantes, Compton resident, asserted that the presentation is designed to be
confusing because some of the elected officials have received funding, with one in particular
having bulging pockets. She stated that the citizens trusted the City Council to be honest with
them and to modify the parking for one particular development is unfair to other projects that
benefit the community directly.
Lynn Boone, Compton resident, questioned if other cities that have modified their parking
requirement have something similar to the brickyard development in their residential areas. She
also requested the disadvantages to approving a modified parking requirement.
On motion by Arceneaux, seconded by Zurita, the public hearing was closed at 7:35 p.m., by the
AYES: Council Members - Zurita, Arceneaux, Jones, Brown
ABSENT:Council Members - Galvan
COUNCIL COMMENTS ON THE PUBLIC HEARING
Councilperson Arceneaux asked Mr. Delgadillo if the approval of this modified parking
requirement will affect the entire City of Compton.
Mr. Delgadillo remarked the ordinance applies to industrial zoning only, more specifically the
parking areas around the 91 freeway, eastside of Alameda Street near Pine Street and El Segundo
and certain areas potentially along Alameda near Santa Fe Street.
Councilperson Arceneaux questioned if this modified parking requirement applies to on-premise
parking for industrial areas. Mr. Delgadillo insisted that this MPR specifically related to the
brickyard development will not affect truck parking; it only affects passenger car or employee
parking, truck parking is not impacted by this MPR. In fact the project itself has conditions that
prevent on-street parking, on-street queuing, on-street stacking that is specifically prohibited per
the conditional use permit.
Councilperson Arceneaux asked if the proposed zoning text amendment will impact preferential
parking. Mr. Delgadillo responded that the original version would have but it does not now.
Councilperson Zurita suggested that the approval of modified parking requirements
be considered on a case-by-case basis for each existing and new business developments.
Councilperson Jones expressed a concern for how the City will determine what is adequate
parking and what is not. Mr. Delgadillo answered that the parking study prepared by an engineer
in the Public Works Department will assist in making that determination utilizing similar landuse surveys.
Councilperson Jones requested staff's parking recommendations for the brickyard development.
Mr. Delgadillo remarked that staff is proposing the approval of the brickyard development's
MPR, but for the overall zoning code text amendment, staff is recommending approval because it
grants flexibility to the City to tailor a parking situation to a specific use.
Councilperson Jones requested the required amount of adequate parking spaces for the
brickyard. Mr. Delgadillo stated that the parking study for the brickyard mandates a minimum of
472 spaces however under option A the number is 608 spaces; and Option B proposes 577
spaces.
Mayor Brown also noted that the parking study analyzes the conditions of the business, hours of
operations, total employees, and work-shift differentials.
Mayor Brown asked Mr. Delgadillo who has the final approval of the MPRs. Mr. Delgadillo
stated that either the Planning Commission or the City Council has final approval of the MPRs.
6:10 P.M. - PUBLIC HEARING - FOR VESTING TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP 72667 TO
CONSOLIDATE 12 EXISTING LOTS INTO TWO LOTS AT THE BRICKYARD (ITEM
#15)
On motion by Zurita, seconded by Arceneaux, the public hearing was opened at 7:47 p.m., by the
Robert Delgadillo, Planning Department representative, offered the public hearing and
PowerPoint presentation on the site line analysis illustrating the building, parking, and the twelve
foot screen wall. Staff is requesting that City Council consider a resolution approving a Vesting
Tentative Parcel Map to consolidate/merge 12 existing lots on the brickyard site totaling 58+/acres into two lots for future industrial development.
BACKGROUND
On February 5, 2015 the Subdivision Committee met to review and discuss Vesting Tentative
Parcel Map No. 72903. The Subdivision Committee recommended approval to the Planning
Commission of Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 72903.
On February 10, 2015 the City of Compton Planning Commission adopted a resolution
recommending the City council approve Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 72903 for the
consolidation of 12 existing lots into 2 lots for industrial development.
The proposed 58 acre project occupies almost the entire block bordered by Central Ave.,
Rosecrans Ave., McKinley Ave., and Sam Littleton Street. The site completely occupies the
north half of the block. Several existing offsite commercial uses and a single residential use
located south of the site making up the remainder of the properties on the block.
To the southeast of the site there are several commercial retail businesses, a single residential
senior living building, and a MTA bus storage and maintenance facility. Directly south is another
small retail commercial center and a 300,000 square foot industrial warehouse. To the southwest
are several commercial industrial businesses consisting of a truck storage yard, building
materials storage yard and Republic Services materials recycling facility. Offsite residential is on
the north half of the west perimeter (LA County), north of Sam Littleton Street and north half of
the east perimeter. To the south across Rosecrans Ave. is a combination of residential and
commercial land uses. The extreme southwest corner of the block will also be redeveloped by a
future industrial warehouse.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
(ANALYSIS)
The Vesting Tentative Parcel Map (VTPM) is proposed to consolidate the existing 12 lots into 2
larger lots. The 12 existing parcels comprise 58.33 gross acres. Proposed Lot 1 will contain
25.08 acres and Lot 2 will contain 31.33 acres. The applicant is seeking approval of the tentative
parcel map to eliminate multiple lots lines crossing the site and create a single lot for each future
industrial building.
Additionally, 1.92 acres will be dedicated for future public right-of-way for McKinley Ave, and
Sam Littleton Streets as part of this subdivision project.
Reciprocal access for the proposed subdivision and parking will be provided through a blanket
easement recorded by separate document. One additional access easement is being provided for
an existing cell tower site located at the southwest portion of the site perimeter near the existing
offsite warehouse building.
(STREETS)
As part of the overall development and improvement of the site, the following street/perimeter
improvements will occur:
•
McKinley Ave. will be completely rebuilt curb to curb from Rosecrans Ave. to Sam
Littleton Street and widened from 139th Street north to Sam Littleton Street. This portion
of McKinley Ave. (East side) will be fully improved with street, curb, gutter, meandering
sidewalk, street lights and landscaping. This portion of McKinley will go from 30 feet
wide to 60 feet in width. The driving surface will be widened 18 feet and a new curb and
meandering five foot sidewalk constructed. The improvement will increase the safety of
the street by widening it to its ultimate width constructing a sidewalk for pedestrians and
installing street lights.
Moreover, the east side of the street will be “finished” with 22 feet of landscaping and sidewalk.
•
Sam Littleton Street like McKinley Street will be completely rebuilt curb to curb from
McKinley Street to Central Ave. and widened. This portion of Sam Littleton Street (south
side) will be fully improved with street curb, gutter, meandering sidewalk, street lights
and landscaping. This portion of Sam Littleton Street will go from 40 feet wide to 80 feet
in ROW width. The driving surface will be widened 28 feet and a new meandering five
foot sidewalk constructed. The improvement will increase the safety of the street by
widening it to its ultimate width, constructing a sidewalk for pedestrians and installing
street lights. Moreover, the east side of the street will be “finished” with 22 feet of
landscaping.
•
The intersections of Rosecrans and McKinley Ave. and Central and 139th Ave. will each
receive a new traffic control signal due the increased traffic volume. The applicant has
agreed to install and fund the cost of the intersection although a fair share agreement will
be applied to the project and the other two proposed industrial developments south of the
site on the east side of McKinley Ave. For the Rosecrans signal, the City will prepare an
agreement for all three McKinley Ave frontage projects that will reimburse the brickyard
applicant for the cost incurred for the signal and in the installation.
(ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION)
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Public Resources Code,
Division 13 §21000 et seq.) an Initial Study (IS) for the project was prepared by EcoTerra for the
City of Compton which identifies and evaluates the environmental impacts of the project. The
City of Compton, in its capacity as Lead Agency, has determined that the proposed project
requires a Mitigated Negative Declaration and mitigation monitoring plan, as part of its
environmental review. A Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) is a determination that the
proposed project will have less than significant environmental impacts on the environment with
the implementation of the mitigation measures. All mitigation measures proposed in the IS/MND
have been incorporated as conditions of approval under “Mitigation Based Conditions”.
The initial study/MND environmental document was posted in the LA County Clerk office in
Norwalk, posted on the City of Compton Planning & Economic Development Department’s
webpage and circulated to service providers and public agencies for a 30 day public review
period from December 22, 2014 to January 21, 2015; Comments were received from the
SCAQMD, LA County Fire Department, CALTRANS, LA County Sanitation and a Compton
resident. The Draft Mitigated Negative (MND) Declaration includes the required response to
comments resulting from the required public review period and is contained within the MND as
section 21.
(COMMUNITY OUTREACH)
Also, to notify and inform the community regarding the proposed project, the applicant has
participated in ten community meetings conducting 30 minute PowerPoint presentations and
answering questions. A community meeting presenting the project was held at town hall
meetings for each council district and at churches. Additionally, a citywide meeting was held at
the community center on September 29, 2014 and onsite in December of 2014. The applicant
also mailed project fact sheets to the surrounding property owners in the winter of 2014 and met
with individual residents to discuss the project. Notice was sent to all the property owners within
a 500-foot radius of the project site.
(FISCAL IMPACT)
There are no fiscal impacts to the General Fund from this resolution. The resolution approves a
land subdivision that will result in the dedication of land for two streets, the improvement of two
streets and two new intersection signals at no cost to the City.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the attached resolution for Vesting Tentative Parcel Map 72903.

6:20 P.M. - PUBLIC HEARING - FOR THE ADOPTION OF A DEVELOPMENT
AGREEMENT FOR A 1,154,000 SQUARE FOOT INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AT
THE BRICKYARD PROJECT SITE (ITEM #18)
On motion by Zurita, seconded by Galvan, the public hearing was opened at 7:48 p.m., by the
Robert Delgadillo, Planning Department representative, offered the public hearing and
PowerPoint presentation on the site line analysis illustrating the building, parking, and the twelve
foot screen wall. Staff is requesting that City Council consider an ordinance approving a
Development Agreement to vest the approved Brickyard, Conditional Use Permit No. 2752 with
MPR, and Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 72903 applications for a period of 15 years to
develop either:
1) One light industrial warehouse building totaling 1,154,000 million-square feet with accessory
truck and employee parking spaces; or
2) Two light industrial warehouse buildings totaling 1,154,000 million-square feet with
accessory truck and employee parking spaces.
On a 59-acre site located at 13633, 13801, 13805 South Central Avenue.
BACKGROUND
On February 11, 2015 the City of Compton Planning Commission adopted resolutions adopting
Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 933, Conditional Use Permit No. 2752 with MPR and
recommended that the City Council, adopt a parking text amendment, Development Agreement
and Vesting Tentative Parcel Map 72903.
The proposed 59 acre project occupies almost the entire block bordered by Central Ave.,
Rosecrans Ave., McKinley Ave., and Sam Littleton Street. The site completely occupies the
north half of the block. Several existing offsite commercial uses and a single residential use
located south of the site making up the remainder of the properties on the block. To the
southeast of the site there are several commercial retail businesses, a single residential senior
living building, and a MTA bus storage and maintenance facility. Directly south is another small
retail commercial center and a 300,000 square foot industrial warehouse. To the southwest are
several commercial industrial businesses consisting of a truck storage yard, building materials
storage yard and Republic Services materials recycling facility. Offsite residential is on the north
half of the west perimeter (LA County), north of Sam Littleton Street and north half of the east
perimeter. To the south across Rosecrans Ave. is a combination of residential and commercial
land uses. The extreme southwest corner of the block will also be redeveloped by a future
industrial warehouse.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
(ANALYSIS)
The applicant is requesting the City Council to approve an ordinance authorizing the City to
enter into the Brickyard LLC Development Agreement. The Development Agreement would l
vest the entitlements associated with the Brickyard project for a period of 15 years. A
Development Agreement is a contract between the City and a developer that stipulates the terms
and conditions under which a specific project will be implemented and the procedures for
amendment and termination. A Development Agreement will lock in the provisions of the
current zoning ordinance and policies in effect at the time the Development Agreement is
approved and states the circumstances under which the project can be modified or conditions
amended.
The proposed Development Agreement (DA) contains the following provisions:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Freezes all current application processing fees, exactions, ministerial fees, and
subdivision linkage fees in effect at the time of adoption.
Covers project design amendment procedures.
Requires no commitment to initiate the project by any deadline.
The project is exempted from future general plan, zoning, building regulation,
referendum, initiative, or charter amendment.
All project modifications will be administrative unless deemed substantial by section
3.2.4
The project site can be used for any “Interim” use allowed by City’s zoning regulation.
Extends the valid time for all project approvals to 15 years.
Requires the issuance of building permits before the final Parcel Map is recorded.
Requires an annual review of the Development Agreement performance.
Has a provision for curing defaults and termination of Development Agreement by City
Council.
The agreement can be amended by mutual consent in writing.
The DA is transferrable to future property owners.
The DA can be amended or terminated as long as both parties agree.
Section 2.3.1 “Public Benefits” of the Development Agreement is of special importance. This
section discusses the public benefits the project will provide to the City. The benefits under
consideration by the City Council are:
(a) Street and Infrastructure Improvements To Be Performed By
Developer. Developer commits to fully fund and improve: (i) the full width of McKinley
Avenue (from Sam Littleton Avenue to Rosecrans Avenue); (ii) the full width of Sam Littleton
Street (from McKinley Avenue to Central Avenue); and (iii) a traffic signal at the intersection
of McKinley Avenue and Rosecrans Avenue (collectively the “Street and Infrastructure
Improvements).”
(b) Developer Contribution to the Central Avenue Improvements.
Developer agrees to contribute two hundred and twenty five thousand dollars ($225,000.00)
towards the Central Avenue Improvements, specifically for improving the portion of Central
Avenue located between Rosecrans Avenue and Sam Littleton Street. The contribution shall be
due to the City prior to issuance of a building permit for the Project, but no later than five (5)
years after the Effective Date of the Agreement.
(c) Full Funding and Implementation of Cumulative Impact Mitigation
Measures. The MND for the Project identifies three (3) cumulative traffic/intersection impacts,
and recommends mitigation measures at the intersections of: (i) Rosecrans Avenue and Avalon
Boulevard, (ii) Rosecrans Avenue and Central Avenue, and (iii) Rosecrans Avenue and
Wilmington Avenue (“Cumulative Impact Mitigation Measures”). As these are cumulative (as
opposed to project-specific) impacts for which traffic attributable to Developer’s Project only
accounts for a percentage of the overall cumulative impact, the City intends to establish a fair
share mechanism to collect pro rata contributions from other future developments within the
vicinity of the Property. However, as part of the Public Benefits provided by Developer, any pro
rata “fair share” contribution required and/or provided by any other developers in connection
with these Cumulative Impact Mitigation Measures shall be allocated directly to the City (as
opposed to the Developer), and used for street, traffic and/or infrastructure improvements at the
City’s sole and absolute discretion.
(d) Compton Job Training Program. Developer shall contribute two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars ($250,000.000) into an escrow account to establish an industrial jobs training
program, in collaboration with the Compton Unified School District and the Compton
Community College District (the “Compton Jobs Training Program”). The purpose of the
Compton Jobs Training Program will be to educate and prepare Compton residents for future
light industrial employment opportunities within the City of Compton or the general South Bay
area, similar to those provided by the Project. The funds must be provided prior to issuance of a
building permit for the Project, but no later than five (5) years after the Effective Date of the
Agreement.
(e) Compton Local Hiring Program. Developer commits to requiring the future tenant(s) of the
Project to advertise open employment opportunities within the City of Compton (the “Compton
Local Hiring Program”). In implementing the Compton Local Hiring Program, Developer and/or
its tenant(s) shall cooperate directly with CareerLink (or a similar City job placement resource).
(f) Construction Training Opportunities. Developer shall require its construction general
contractor to provide an apprenticeship program to train up to six (6) Compton residents for
entry level construction employment opportunities. (g) Priority Bidding for Local, Minority
Sub-Contractors. Developer shall require its construction general contractor to maintain a local
hire bidding system for qualified, local minority sub-contractors.
(h) Gonzales Park/Jackie Robinson Stadium Contribution. Developer shall deposit forty five
thousand dollars ($45,000.00) into an escrow account for improvements to Gonzales Park/Jackie
Robinson Stadium, to be used at the City’s sole and absolute discretion. The $45,000.00
contribution shall be deposited into escrow prior to issuance of a building permit for the Project,
but no later than five (5) years after the Effective Date of the Agreement.
The proposed Development Agreement is attached as Exhibit 4.
FISCAL IMPACT
There are no fiscal impacts to the General Fund from this ordinance. The ordinance approves a
Development Agreement that vests the associated development applications submitted for
developing the site, but will itself have no negative impact the City.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the attached Ordinance adopting the Brickyard LLC Commerce Center Development
Agreement to develop a 1,154,000 square foot industrial project with two alternative site plan
options.
City Attorney Cornwell stated that the applicant is proposing a contribution to the resurfacing
of Central Avenue but also a street repair and maintenance fee for the ongoing maintenance of
the street at an annual fee of 6% per square foot of area that is physically occupied by the tenant
within the project. This fee must be spent on the repair and maintenance of streets within the City
designated truck routes at least every four years on an “as needed” basis and shall expire after the
term of the 15-year agreement.
PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THE PUBLIC HEARING
Robert Ray, Compton resident, petitioned the City Council to determine the official truck route
before approving this project.
Benjamin Holifield, Compton resident, spoke in support of the brickyard development citing
benefits to the community such as street improvements on Sam Littleton Drive. He also
proposed that the City designate a compliance officer to ensure that the agreements are complied
with. He also stated that the issues of poor air quality are nonexistent based upon the studies he
has conducted.
Lorraine Cervantes, Compton resident, contended that because two public hearings were paired
together, speakers should be allotted additional time. She went on to state that she is shocked
that this City Council has already expressed their support for a proposal that does not address the
impact that the development will have on the citizen's air quality with a legitimate legal
document.
Barbara Calhoun, Compton resident and former councilperson, maintained that she is not
against jobs or repaving the streets, she is against the project. She suggested that the property be
development and cleaned up with Brownsfield funding in an effort to reduce blight, take
development pressures off of green-space and working lands, and increase residential property
value.
Minnie Jones, Compton resident, spoke in opposition to the brickyard development citing
concerns for heavy-duty zoning forty feet from residential areas.
Donald Smith, Compton resident, spoke in support of the brickyard development on behalf of
the 136th Street Block Club. Additionally, he stated that is particularly interested in the
environmental impact study for this project.
Lestean Johnson, President of the Compton Chamber of Commerce, spoke in support of the
brickyard development. Additionally, she stated that although she agrees that air quality should
be addressed, however, she believes that due diligence has taken place on this issue.
Furthermore, she confirmed the legality of the reports and that the Air Quality Control has given
the developers a "no significance report." She also maintained that she sees this project as an
opportunity for jobs, seed money for the City and training administered via Careerlink staff.
Elaine B., Compton resident, stated that she lives on Sam Littleton Drive and Bahama Street and
spoke in support of the brickyard development citing benefits such as improvements to the area,
opportunities for her home to free from dust, dirt, and trash that has accumulated over the years,
and job opportunities for the youth.
Mr. Boyden, Oversight Commissioner, expressed a concern for the City authorizing
amendments to the City's original zoning designations developed on behalf of the citizens’ best
interest.
Terry Marshall, Compton resident, spoke in support of the brickyard development citing
benefits to the community such as job opportunities for the youth.
Antonio J. White, Compton resident, spoke in opposition to the brickyard development citing
disadvantages to the community such as an increase in the carcinogens in the air contributing to
the already poor air quality in the area due to bus stops and existing passenger vehicle, and truck
traffic. He stated that he knows over a dozen people that have died of cancer in the area and
indicated that he prepared a document to stop the development which consists of signatures from
actual residents of the City of Compton not the unincorporated area.
(Excessive clapping in the audience)
Mayor Brown called for order in the Council Chambers.
Gerald Pickens, Compton resident, spoke in support of the brickyard development citing
benefits to the community such as improvements to the streets and Jackie Robinson stadium.
Chris McCalley, Compton resident, expressed a concern for the noise and level of air quality
being raised for residents living on McKinley Street. He proposed that the City consider
developments such as miniature golf courses and malls to bring people to the City instead of
increasing the problem of human sex trafficking and truck traffic.
Drexell Johnson, executive director and founder of the young black contractors association,
spoke in support of the brickyard development citing benefits to the community such as job
opportunities for minorities and disenfranchised youth.
Kim Kelly, Compton resident, implored the City Council to perform their due diligence as it
relates to investigating and designating Central Avenue as the highest and best use for the truck
route and ensuring that the developers hire more than six people from the City of Compton.
The City Council meeting was recessed for two minutes to a member of the audience out of the
Council Chambers.
Lynn Boone, Compton resident, spoke in opposition of the brickyard development and proposed
that the City of Compton vote to deny the conditional use permit, change the zoning, deny the
permit until the project plan matches the City's general plan, wait for a new owner, or imminent
domain the property. She conceded that Careerlink is no longer providing job training and that
the Housing Authority is utilizing the facility. She also stated that 500% of taxes can be
accumulated with mixed use and residential as opposed to two huge warehouses and held that the
hope of job opportunities is always used to lure Compton residents in. Lastly, she maintained
that the developers are not concerned about potholes or poor air quality in their neighborhoods,
but they sell it to Compton.
On motion by Zurita, seconded by Arceneaux, the public hearing was closed at 9:29 p.m., by the
COUNCIL COMMENTS ON THE PUBLIC HEARING
Greg Ames, Trammell Crow Company, offered a PowerPoint presentation on the following
proposed public improvements.
McKinley Avenue is proposed to be widened from 20 feet curb-to-curb to 40 feet curb-to-curb (a
100% increase in width), subject to City and County of Los Angeles input and approval, by
improving the east half of the street, from just south of E. 138th Street to Sam Littleton Street.
The pavement on the westerly side of McKinley Avenue will be reconstructed from Rosecrans
Avenue to Sam Littleton Street. A 10-foot parkway with a 5-foot meandering sidewalk would be
added to the east side of McKinley Avenue along the newly widened road. A curb cut would be
added at E. 138th Street to allow truck ingress/egress to and from the property. The Project
proposes to add a traffic signal to the intersection of McKinley and Rosecrans Avenues.
Sam Littleton Street is proposed to be widened from 28 feet curb-to-curb to 56 feet curb-to-curb
(a 100% increase in width), subject to City input and approval, by improving the south half of
the street, from McKinley Avenue to Central Avenue. A 12-foot parkway with a 5-foot
meandering sidewalk would be added to the south side of Sam Littleton Street along the newly
widened road.
Site Plan B includes the addition of two curb cuts for auto only ingress/egress to and from the
property along the south side of Sam Littleton Street. Three-way stop signs will be installed at
the intersection of Corlett Avenue and Sam Littleton Street.
A 10-foot sidewalk would be provided along the west side of Central Avenue from Sam Littleton
Street to just south of E. 139th Street. Two curb cuts would be added – at W. Piru Street for auto
and emergency vehicle ingress/egress (no truck access) to and from the property and at E. 139th
Street for truck and automobile ingress/egress to and from the property. The Project proposes to
add a traffic signal to Central Avenue at E. 139th Street to facilitate safe truck and auto
ingress/egress.
The existing driveway to Rosecrans Avenue from the south end of the flag lot area of the Project
site is proposed to be widened and improved to accommodate truck and auto access, with right
turn in movements permitted.
AIR QUALITY IMPACTS
Project impacts associated with Southern California Association of Government's (SCAG)
applicable growth projections would be less than significant. The Project would not violate any
air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation.
Thus, the Project would not have the potential to conflict with nor impair implementation of the
Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP), and this impact would be less than significant. No
mitigation measures are required.
Lastly, the proposed project is below every threshold for traffic, air quality, noise, and
construction.
For more information on this project, visit the City's website at
http://www.comptoncity.org/agenda/2015/03_2015/152403/24015403202015035841673.pdf.
Mr. Ames also discussed the context for the emissions for the development, new regulations
passed for heavy diesel trucks, assumptions used for the SQMD study, over $10M of private
investment in public infrastructure, 35% local hiring target, $1.5M tax contributions to City
programs.
Councilperson Arceneaux stated that AQMD has proven that Compton has the poorest air
quality in all of the surrounding cities because of industrial areas and freeways. Moreover, she
asked how idling trucks will be mitigated.
Mr. Ames stated that their air study does not contemplate any of the mitigations, however, he
acknowledged mitigating elements of 15 minutes of idling per truck, 24/7 operation of the
development is an air quality mitigation because it allows trucks to get in and get out, and the
stacking and queuing space far exceeds anything they expect to have on the project use, 500 600 trees, twelve feet screen walls around each industrial yard.
Councilperson Arceneaux requested the development's completion and build out date.
Mr. Ames stated that he anticipates completion in the summer of 2016.
Councilperson Arceneaux requested Trammel Crow's response to South Coast Air Quality
Management District's evaluation in which they documented a disproportionate health and air
quality impact including significant residential impacts to cancer risks mostly from project trucks
operating from the project site along the neighborhoods adjacent to the project site in terms of
vehicle trips.
Mr. Ames stated that the letter is dated January 20, 2015 and it is specifically in context of the
original 1.5M square foot project, the project was reduced by 350,000 square feet and reduced
traffic, air quality impacts, and carcinogens risks by 23%; moreover that change made it so that
SCAQMD has approved the project as it stands now because they made those adjustments.
Councilperson Zurita stated that she was introduced to the brickyard project over a year ago by
Mayor Brown and from there, she took over the project to make certain the citizens benefit. As a
result, she conducted several informational townhall meetings on behalf of the citizens in an
effort to hold the developers accountable and the fact is, whether or not this project is approved
by this City Council tonight it will go forward but it will not be nearly as nice as what it will be if
the developers are held to the community benefit package.
Councilperson Zurita stated that this development will reduce the zoning designation to light
industrial, controls the truck traffic, boost job opportunities, and has become the normative in
Southern California.
Councilperson Zurita asked the City Attorney if the developer is legally bonded to the proposed
community benefits package. City Attorney Cornwell replied affirmatively.
Councilperson Zurita asked if residential uses can be approved for this property. Mr. Delgadillo
remarked that according to L.A. County Fire Department is requesting the applicant file a
covenant that prohibits residential developments, schools, daycare centers, and hospitals on this
property.
Councilperson Jones stated that he did not see the 35% local hiring target within the executive
development agreement. Mr. Ames stated that the clarification can be read in.
Mayor Brown proposed amendments to the development agreement.
Councilperson Jones inquired about the utilization of small businesses and vendors that would
like to participate.
Mr. Ames answered that they are currently obtaining information and doing outreach with the
business chambers in order to populate a vendor list of local and minority-owned vendors and
subcontractors for first opportunity and bidding process.
Mayor Brown made comments in reference to the immediate impacts of the development on the
surrounding neighborhoods and long-term benefits city-wide, current diesel truck emission
standards, Brownsfield designations, and the community benefits package.
Mayor Brown urged the residents to consider the benefits of improved façades that can generate
tax revenue, increased property values, and jobs for the benefit of the community.

SUBJECT:
2014-2015 FISCAL YEAR BUDGET; AMEND THE CONSTRUCTION
SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH LEVERAGE INFORMATION
SYSTEMS TO EXPAND THE SCOPE OF SERVICES, EXTEND THE
CONTRACT TERM AND INCREASE THE CONTRACT PRICE FOR
THE INTEGRATION OF THIRTY EIGHT (38) RADIO ANTENNAS

RESCIND RESOLUTION NO. 24,114.
SUMMARY
This resolution authorizes the City Manager to amend the 2014-2015 Fiscal Year Budget to
transfer funds between account; amend the construction services agreement with Leverage
Information Systems (“Leverage”) to expand the scope of work to be performed, extend the
contract term and increase the contract price for the integration of thirty eight (38) 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); and, rescind Resolution No. 24,114, adopted by the City Council
on March 24, 2015.
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 a total of one hundred and twelve
(112) signalized intersections. Due to budgetary constraints the project will be implemented in
two (2) phases: Phase I consisting of forty-seven (47) 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 38 Radio Antennas with
Econolite’s Centracs Advanced Transportation Management System
April 14, 2015, Page 2
1. Installation of a wireless Ethernet network (radio antennas) at forty seven (47) distinct
signalized intersections as general traffic data collectors/transmitters.
2. Installation of five (5) aggregating radio antennas atop the Compton Courthouse to
collect and redirect 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 Centrac ATMS unit at MLKTC.
The Compton Courthouse building is managed by the Judicial Council of California (“Judicial
Council”). After several attempts to expedite the rooftop access application process 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 projects had been
cancelled for the next one hundred and twenty (120) days. This delay has caused the City to look
for other alternatives to proceed with the installation of the five (5) aggregating radio antennas
required for TMOC Project.
A feasibility study to relocate the installation of the five (5) aggregating radio antennas from the
prime location atop Compton Courthouse building was conducted and two (2) other possible
locations were identified:
1. LA Crystal Hotel located at 123 East Artesia Boulevard, Compton. 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.
2. MLKTC located at 310 North Willowbrook Avenue, Compton. The main advantage of
using this geographical location for both the Centracs ATMS 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.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
Another project being implemented at this time by Leverage Information Systems (“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.
A total of thirty eight (38) intersections out of the original forty seven (47) for Phase I of the
TMOC Project have been identified as having common geographical locations with the ASPC
Project. The remaining nine (9) intersections out of the forty seven (47) intersections planned for
Phase I will be effectively transferred for implementation during Phase II of the TMOC Project.
The thirty eight (38) intersections will require 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 for the ASPC Project. Econolite’s
Centracs ATMS will connect to the traffic controllers located at the thirty-eight (38) common
geographical intersections via the existing wireless network deployed by Leverage for the ASPC
Project.
In order to facilitate the integration effort of Leverage’s installed network equipment and the
Centracs ATMS, which will save the City time and money, staff recommended and the City
Council adopted Resolution No. 24,114 on March 24, 2015, which authorized amending the
City’s current contract with Leverage so as to expand the scope of work, extend the term of the
current contract for a period of at least sixty (60) working days or through June 30, 2015
(Leverage’s current contract expires in/about April 2015) to allow for the additional work and
authorize additional compensation in the amount of One Hundred Seventy One Thousand Four
Hundred Nine Dollars and Eighty-Six Cents ($171,409.86) for the performance of the additional
work.
Subsequent to Council’s adoption of Resolution No. 24,114, the parties have discovered that the
proposed compensation amount of $171,409.86 failed to include the additional bonding amount
that will be needed to assure adequate protection of the City’s interest in completion of this
Project. Therefore, staff is requesting that the City Council rescind Resolution No. 24,114 and
adopt the attached resolution that will provide a total of One Hundred Seventy Sixty Thousand
Five Hundred Fifty Two Dollars and Sixteen Cents ($176,552.16) as additional compensation for
performance of the additional work by Leverage. Additionally, the term of the current contract
should be extended to July 30, 2015.
Staff also request that the Council authorize a ten percent (10%) contingency amount
($17,655.22) in case unforeseen expenditures are incurred.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Funds in the amount of $194,207.38 ($176,552.16 plus ten percent contingency) for this
expenditure will be transferred from Account Number 1900-710-000-4290 (Contribution to
Other Funds) to Account No. 1900-710-000-4262 (Other Professional Services) and will be
allocated in the Public Works/Municipal Utilities Department’s 2014-2015 Fiscal Year budget as

ALTERNATIVE
If the City chooses to follow the original installation plan of using Econolite to install its own
wireless network along with Centracs ATMS, all of the issues mentioned above, including
finding an alternative location for the aggregating antennas, wireless interference, hardware
duplicity and maintenance liability issues would have to be resolved. In addition, potential
funding de-obligation by the local funding agency (Metro) is highly probable due to the
historical delays suffered by the TMOC project.

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution.

Proposal
B ackg r o u n d :
The Traffic Management project consists of 112 intersections requiring network connectivity
between each intersection and the Compton Transit Center. The existing City Wide surveillance
system has 38 intersections in common with the Traffic Management project. The City Wide
surveillance system also has network connectivity established to Transit Center via a full duplex
1Gbps high speed wireless bridge. The traffic controller at each intersection is “network ready”
and operational.
P h ase 1:
Thirty eight of these locations are common to the City Wide Surveillance project. Each of these
thirty eight locations has a wireless bridge mounted to a traffic intersection pole. Phase 1
includes determining a method for each of these intersections’ traffic controller to be connected
to the City Wide wireless bridge.
If during the analysis it is deemed that a pathway is clear and by regulation that a Category 5e/6
cable can be used to provide connectivity, then that work will be accomplished and documented.
For those intersections where a Category 5e/6 cable is not possible, then an alternative method
will be determined and a proposal generated.
Leverage will provide, configure, and install a Cisco 3650 layer 3 switch at the Transit Center to
allow surveillance video to be segregated by VLANs from traffic information.
At each of the 38 intersection locations a layer 2 switch will be installed within the traffic
management enclosure. An RJ45 will be installed by Leverage from the traffic controller to the
newly installed switch. Leverage will configure the switch to support 4 VLANs (see definition of
VLANs in SOW). The VLANs will be trunked across the City Wide network and made available
at the newly installed Cisco 3650 at the Transit Center.

Concerns/Assumptions:
1. All networks are susceptible to retries and possible packet loss. It was mentioned during
a meeting on 12/18/2014 that dropped packets are not acceptable. Every effort possible
will be made to design and deploy a highly reliable network; however, Leverage cannot
guarantee that packets will not be dropped.
2. Leverage would like to bring up a concern with the number of VLANs and the possibility
of loss of service if unexpected events should occur.

Project Terms and Conditions
O n S it e M a t e r i a l S t o r a g e
On site storage of project materials may be necessary to meet project schedule and cost objectives. During the project charter
development, Leverage may request that the customer provide a secure area to support storage of materials. Leverage assumes
that the customer will make an agreed upon location available to store project related materials if deemed necessary.
E q u ip m e n t M o u n t in g L o c a t i o n s
Within the Leverage proposal there may be locations identified where proposed equipment will be installed. Upon acceptance of the
design proposal, Leverage assumes the following:
Use of Assets for equipment mounting
The proposal may include mounting of equipment in locations conducive to meet the project requirements. Leverage will
document those locations in the design proposal and once agreed upon with the customer assumes the location is
available for use immediately upon approval by the customer to proceed with the project, or at the time identified in the
project schedule. Failure to make the agreed upon locations available by the customer may result in increased cost
incurred by Leverage. If the failure to make agreed upon locations available it will be noted on the project schedule
developed during the project charter development phase. Leverage will make every attempt to avoid incurring costs
outside the scope of the project, but may find it necessary to pass those costs to the customer in the form of a change
order.
Provisioning of Power
Unless otherwise stated in the Statement of Work, power as specified in the Leverage proposal, is the responsibility of the customer.
Typically for outdoor installations Leverage will require power to be extended to the equipment mounting location (within a few feet),
and terminated into a standard J-box (typically 4” x 4”). Leverage will use flexible conduct from the customer provided J-Box to the
Leverage equipment. The customer is responsible to provide continuous reliable power.
If the Statement of Work states that Leverage will provide power to the equipment, the customer agrees to provide a continuous
reliable power source at an agreed upon location as identified within the Statement of Work or Project Charter.
T r e e T r i m m in g a n d o t h e r o b s t r u c t i o n s
In many cases, Leverage deploys wireless networks to transport IP surveillance video. As such, Leverage will conduct a site survey
during the development of a proposal based upon a clear line of site from one location to another as documented in the proposal.
Obstructions to line of sight may occur from the time the site survey was conducted to the installation, or even possibly after the
initial installation. Lack of line of sight may impact the transmission of wireless signals.
Any obstructions to the line of sight that occur subsequent to the generation of the Leverage proposal are the responsibility of the
customer. Remediation may result in tree trimming, sign removal and relocation, or other.
Sufficient lighting for video quality
During the deployment of a proposal, lighting conditions are taken into consideration. Poor lighting conditions will impact video
quality, and cause recorded video to require additional storage, which may not be taken into account. Some cameras support
day/night and will automatically switch to night mode when lighting falls below a threshold. Artificial lighting including IR may
improve vision in low light conditions. Leverage may include in the IR lighting with coverage areas that the customer may want to
validate in order to ensure the desired coverage is achieved. During the project design this will be discussed and again reviewed
during the project charter. The primary responsibility for sufficient lighting will be the customer’s.
Leverage will make every attempt to ensure sufficient video quality with poor lighting including the following items below.
1.
2.
Existing lighting may be required to meet video quality objectives.
IR lighting may be added. If so, IR lighting has a coverage area much like a camera. The coverage area is provided by
the IR lighting OEM, which is included in their specifications.
T r a f f ic M a n a g e m e n t
Unless otherwise agreed to in the proposal the customer is responsible for Traffic Management, including any local permits or other
requirements related to access the location where equipment will be mounted.

Amendment (March 20, 2015)
As we understand it, Econolite needs network connectivity from the intersections to the
Transit Center. The path that those network connections will be taking will involve
wireless network links from the intersections to the courthouse roof, then another
wireless “aggregation” link that goes to the transit center. At that point, the traffic will be
dropped off to the network in the transit center where the Econolite head end equipment
will be located.
This network, including the wireless links, is the same network that carries the video for
the citywide video network. As such, the traffic for both of these systems will be sharing
the same network resources, and network bandwidth, which are not unlimited nor
always without interruption due to the very nature of wireless networking. Econolite has
indicated that the amount of traffic offered at each intersection is very small, around 100
Bps, and a packet rate of about 2 pps. These numbers indicate a pretty small amount
of traffic, and if that is accurate, we do not feel that there will be a significant negative
effect on the video network at all, assuming that the system operates in this manner.
We have been asked to consider the potential negative impacts that could occur that
could endanger the functionality of the video network in this configuration in the event
that components not behave at some point. There are some network configuration
techniques that allow for particular types of traffic to be “prioritized” over other types of
traffic. This is generally referred to as implementing QOS, or quality of service. In this
scenario, we can provide the video with a higher level of access to the network
resources, including the wireless links, which is where bottlenecks are of the most
concern. While these methods do give priority, it is not like they totally shut off the lower
priority traffic. It is more like an unequal sharing of the available resources, where it will
limit the non-video traffic (from the traffic control applications), allowing that traffic to
pass, but not allowing that traffic to totally dominate and saturate the network resources.
This solution does bring up some points that need to be considered. We have been told
by Econolite that their traffic is time sensitive as it is real time data. Since this is a
wireless network, there will be times that they drop packets. Our understanding is that if
this occurs, it is more of a nuisance than anything else, and does not create any danger
of traffic light malfunction, etc.. They did, however, request that their traffic be
prioritized at the highest level of priority (level 7), in fact, a level of priority that is
typically reserved only for the most foundational of network control activities. Data is
never recommended to be given this priority due to the fact that it could then not only
stop data flow, but also stop any network configuration data from getting across the
network.
In short, the two services, City Wide Video, and traffic controls, are potentially going to
compete for the same network resources. They can be treated equally, meaning one
can have more chance at interrupting the other, or they can be treated slightly
unequally. From what our understanding is, the Video network is to win that competition
if in the event that it comes up. As such, we are recommending that the video network
Page 15
City of Compton
be characterized with a priority 5 profile, which is the highest treatment that this type of
data would normally have, one that typically characterizes real time video. We would
suggest that the traffic control be characterized with a priority 3 profile, which is still
higher than a lot of data, far above what they call “Best Effort”, but since it is not real
time video viewing, it allows the video, which is ultra sensitive to dropped packets, to
have just a bit more protection under normal circumstances, and significantly more
protection in the event that some device on the traffic control network should have a
malfunction and send enough traffic to saturate the connections.
In short, the two services, City Wide Video, and the traffic control system are
“competing” for the network resources.

TO
CONSTRUCTION SERVICES AGREEMENT
BETWEEN
CITY OF COMPTON
AND
LEVERAGE INFORMATION SYSTEMS
[City of Compton Advanced Surveillance and
Protection City-Wide Project – CFD-0814]

LEVERAGE INFORMATION SYSTEMS (hereinafter referred to as “CONTRACTOR”).
RECITALS
WHEREAS, pursuant to Resolution No. 23,992, adopted by the City Council on
July 15, 2014, the City and Contractor enter into a Construction Services Agreement for
the purpose of retaining the Contractor to perform work required pursuant to the “City of
Compton Advanced Surveillance and Protection City-Wide” (“ASPC”) Project (CFD0814): and
WHEREAS, included in the scope of services to be provided by the Contractor
for the ASPC Project, Contractor is/was to perform the necessary tasks and deliverables
to furnish and install PTZ and LPR cameras, cabling, wireless gear, network gear,
servers, RAID units, PC’s, monitors, mounting hardware, antennas, site surveys,
wireless RF surveys, site preparation, low voltage; and
WHEREAS, the City is in the process of deploying a state-of-the-art Traffic
Management and Operations Center (“TMOC”) to manage and control a total of one
hundred and twelve (112) signalized intersections which will be implemented in two (2)
phases: Phase I consisting of forty-seven (47) intersections (implemented during this
fiscal year) and Phase II consisting of sixty-five (65) intersections; and
WHEREAS, Econolite Control Products, Inc. (“Econolite”) was awarded the
contract to install the Centracs Advanced Transportation Management System (“ATMS”)
for the phases of the TMOC Project; and
WHEREAS, major components of Phase I of the TMOC Project are 1) installation
of a wireless Ethernet network (radio antennas) at forty-seven (47) distinct signalized
intersections as general traffic data collectors/transmitters, and 2) installation of five (5)
aggregating radio antennas atop the Compton Courthouse to collect and redirect all data
from the general traffic collectors/transmitters back to the Martin Luther King Transit
Center (“MLKTC”) for processing by the Centracs ATMS unit; and
WHEREAS, the facilities management for the Compton Courthouse has placed a
moratorium on placement of radio antennas atop the courthouse structure for a period of
at least one hundred and twenty (120) days, forestalling Econolite’s ability to proceed

Proposal
B ackg r o u n d :
The Traffic Management project consists of 112 intersections requiring network connectivity
between each intersection and the Compton Transit Center. The existing City Wide surveillance
system has 38 intersections in common with the Traffic Management project. The City Wide
surveillance system also has network connectivity established to Transit Center via a full duplex
1Gbps high speed wireless bridge. The traffic controller at each intersection is “network ready”
and operational.
P h ase 1:
Thirty eight of these locations are common to the City Wide Surveillance project. Each of these
thirty eight locations has a wireless bridge mounted to a traffic intersection pole. Phase 1
includes determining a method for each of these intersections’ traffic controller to be connected
to the City Wide wireless bridge.
If during the analysis it is deemed that a pathway is clear and by regulation that a Category 5e/6
cable can be used to provide connectivity, then that work will be accomplished and documented.
For those intersections where a Category 5e/6 cable is not possible, then an alternative method
will be determined and a proposal generated.
Leverage will provide, configure, and install a Cisco 3650 layer 3 switch at the Transit Center to
allow surveillance video to be segregated by VLANs from traffic information.
At each of the 38 intersection locations a layer 2 switch will be installed within the traffic
management enclosure. An RJ45 will be installed by Leverage from the traffic controller to the
newly installed switch. Leverage will configure the switch to support 4 VLANs (see definition of
VLANs in SOW). The VLANs will be trunked across the City Wide network and made available
at the newly installed Cisco 3650 at the Transit Center.

Concerns/Assumptions:
1. All networks are susceptible to retries and possible packet loss. It was mentioned during
a meeting on 12/18/2014 that dropped packets are not acceptable. Every effort possible
will be made to design and deploy a highly reliable network; however, Leverage cannot
guarantee that packets will not be dropped.
2. Leverage would like to bring up a concern with the number of VLANs and the possibility
of loss of service if unexpected events should occur.

Project Terms and Conditions
O n S it e M a t e r i a l S t o r a g e
On site storage of project materials may be necessary to meet project schedule and cost objectives. During the project charter
development, Leverage may request that the customer provide a secure area to support storage of materials. Leverage assumes
that the customer will make an agreed upon location available to store project related materials if deemed necessary.
E q u ip m e n t M o u n t in g L o c a t i o n s
Within the Leverage proposal there may be locations identified where proposed equipment will be installed. Upon acceptance of the
design proposal, Leverage assumes the following:
Use of Assets for equipment mounting
The proposal may include mounting of equipment in locations conducive to meet the project requirements. Leverage will
document those locations in the design proposal and once agreed upon with the customer assumes the location is
available for use immediately upon approval by the customer to proceed with the project, or at the time identified in the
project schedule. Failure to make the agreed upon locations available by the customer may result in increased cost
incurred by Leverage. If the failure to make agreed upon locations available it will be noted on the project schedule
developed during the project charter development phase. Leverage will make every attempt to avoid incurring costs
outside the scope of the project, but may find it necessary to pass those costs to the customer in the form of a change
order.
Provisioning of Power
Unless otherwise stated in the Statement of Work, power as specified in the Leverage proposal, is the responsibility of the customer.
Typically for outdoor installations Leverage will require power to be extended to the equipment mounting location (within a few feet),
and terminated into a standard J-box (typically 4” x 4”). Leverage will use flexible conduct from the customer provided J-Box to the
Leverage equipment. The customer is responsible to provide continuous reliable power.
If the Statement of Work states that Leverage will provide power to the equipment, the customer agrees to provide a continuous
reliable power source at an agreed upon location as identified within the Statement of Work or Project Charter.
T r e e T r i m m in g a n d o t h e r o b s t r u c t i o n s
In many cases, Leverage deploys wireless networks to transport IP surveillance video. As such, Leverage will conduct a site survey
during the development of a proposal based upon a clear line of site from one location to another as documented in the proposal.
Obstructions to line of sight may occur from the time the site survey was conducted to the installation, or even possibly after the
initial installation. Lack of line of sight may impact the transmission of wireless signals.
Any obstructions to the line of sight that occur subsequent to the generation of the Leverage proposal are the responsibility of the
customer. Remediation may result in tree trimming, sign removal and relocation, or other.
Sufficient lighting for video quality
During the deployment of a proposal, lighting conditions are taken into consideration. Poor lighting conditions will impact video
quality, and cause recorded video to require additional storage, which may not be taken into account. Some cameras support
day/night and will automatically switch to night mode when lighting falls below a threshold. Artificial lighting including IR may
improve vision in low light conditions. Leverage may include in the IR lighting with coverage areas that the customer may want to
validate in order to ensure the desired coverage is achieved. During the project design this will be discussed and again reviewed
during the project charter. The primary responsibility for sufficient lighting will be the customer’s.
Leverage will make every attempt to ensure sufficient video quality with poor lighting including the following items below.
1.
2.
Existing lighting may be required to meet video quality objectives.
IR lighting may be added. If so, IR lighting has a coverage area much like a camera. The coverage area is provided by
the IR lighting OEM, which is included in their specifications.
T r a f f ic M a n a g e m e n t
Unless otherwise agreed to in the proposal the customer is responsible for Traffic Management, including any local permits or other
requirements related to access the location where equipment will be mounted.

Amendment (March 20, 2015)
As we understand it, Econolite needs network connectivity from the intersections to the
Transit Center. The path that those network connections will be taking will involve
wireless network links from the intersections to the courthouse roof, then another
wireless “aggregation” link that goes to the transit center. At that point, the traffic will be
dropped off to the network in the transit center where the Econolite head end equipment
will be located.
This network, including the wireless links, is the same network that carries the video for
the citywide video network. As such, the traffic for both of these systems will be sharing
the same network resources, and network bandwidth, which are not unlimited nor
always without interruption due to the very nature of wireless networking. Econolite has
indicated that the amount of traffic offered at each intersection is very small, around 100
Bps, and a packet rate of about 2 pps. These numbers indicate a pretty small amount
of traffic, and if that is accurate, we do not feel that there will be a significant negative
effect on the video network at all, assuming that the system operates in this manner.
We have been asked to consider the potential negative impacts that could occur that
could endanger the functionality of the video network in this configuration in the event
that components not behave at some point. There are some network configuration
techniques that allow for particular types of traffic to be “prioritized” over other types of
traffic. This is generally referred to as implementing QOS, or quality of service. In this
scenario, we can provide the video with a higher level of access to the network
resources, including the wireless links, which is where bottlenecks are of the most
concern. While these methods do give priority, it is not like they totally shut off the lower
priority traffic. It is more like an unequal sharing of the available resources, where it will
limit the non-video traffic (from the traffic control applications), allowing that traffic to
pass, but not allowing that traffic to totally dominate and saturate the network resources.
This solution does bring up some points that need to be considered. We have been told
by Econolite that their traffic is time sensitive as it is real time data. Since this is a
wireless network, there will be times that they drop packets. Our understanding is that if
this occurs, it is more of a nuisance than anything else, and does not create any danger
of traffic light malfunction, etc.. They did, however, request that their traffic be
prioritized at the highest level of priority (level 7), in fact, a level of priority that is
typically reserved only for the most foundational of network control activities. Data is
never recommended to be given this priority due to the fact that it could then not only
stop data flow, but also stop any network configuration data from getting across the
network.
In short, the two services, City Wide Video, and traffic controls, are potentially going to
compete for the same network resources. They can be treated equally, meaning one
can have more chance at interrupting the other, or they can be treated slightly
unequally. From what our understanding is, the Video network is to win that competition
if in the event that it comes up. As such, we are recommending that the video network
Page 15
City of Compton
be characterized with a priority 5 profile, which is the highest treatment that this type of
data would normally have, one that typically characterizes real time video. We would
suggest that the traffic control be characterized with a priority 3 profile, which is still
higher than a lot of data, far above what they call “Best Effort”, but since it is not real
time video viewing, it allows the video, which is ultra sensitive to dropped packets, to
have just a bit more protection under normal circumstances, and significantly more
protection in the event that some device on the traffic control network should have a
malfunction and send enough traffic to saturate the connections.
In short, the two services, City Wide Video, and the traffic control system are
“competing” for the network resources.

SUBJECT:
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
Council will consider a Resolution authoring the City Manager to transfer the Economic
Development Administration (EDA) Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) to Pacific Coast
Regional (PCR) Small Business Development Corporation 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 the 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:

STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
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 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 April 24, 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.
