Eugene Clark -Herrera, Associate Attorney of the Law Offices of Orick, Herrington &
Sucliff, Inc., explained to the citizens and City Council that municipal bonds represented
long-term borrowing for the city to construct new buildings and make other capital
improvements, as well as providing a means for raising large sums of capital to finance
projects. Mr. Clark-Herrera indicated that the loan would be paid back through the city’s
general fund, by virtue of the city making lease payments to itself.
David Hewitt, representative of the city, announced that the city is proposing the
following projects:
Proposed Projects
-
11.2 million dollars to design, construct and equip a two-story 30,000 square foot
senior citizen center.

structure.
Approximately, 3 million dollars to complete various facility improvements and
purchase equipment for multiple parks.
5.2 million dollars to rehabilitate Compton City Hall.
2 million dollars to install surveillance cameras located throughout the City of
Compton.
Additionally, the city expects to refund its 1997 Certificate of Participation (COP)
Series.
Councilperson Calhoun questioned if grants would be available to supplement these
projects. Mr. Hewitt stated that he did not have that information at this time.

Darryl Street, representative of Feldman, Rollap & Associates, stated that the only debt
to the city is the existing COP Debt Service of 14.7 million dollars, which will be
included in the new series of bonds.
Mayor Perrodin questioned what the bonds were used for, issued in 1997.
City Treasurer Sanders stated that the funds were used to purchase computers for the
Police Department at that time, in addition to updating the computers in City Hall and the
purchase of other expenditures.
Mayor Perrodin inquired about the amount of the bonds.
Jerry Liang, representative of Grisby & Associates, indicated that 27 million dollars was
initially issued and used to refund the 1989 bonds, of which a small portion was used for
computers.
Mayor Perrodin requested additional information concerning the use of the 1997 bonds.
# 1.
Security Features
- City covenants to maintain insurance on the project as follows:
1) Comprehensive General Liability Insurance
2) Casualty Insurance
3) Rental Interruption Insurance
- Reserve Fund will be maintained based on Reserve Requirements for the term of the
bonds.
Mayor Perrodin asked if there was an interest rate price ceiling contained in the
documents. Mr. Clark-Herrera indicated that there were restrictions on the cost of the
debt, in its totality, therefore, the true interest cost of the entire debt does not exceed
6.5%.
Mayor Perrodin requested the percentage rate at which, the city is paying on its existing
bonds. Mr. Street stated that the percentage rate is currently 5.5%.
Councilperson Dobson questioned if there was a grace period, before late charges were
accrued. Mr. Clark-Herrera explained that there was a 60 day grace period for monthly
lease payments, however as it relates to the six month interest payment, the city’s reserve
fund would be drawn upon by the Bond Trustee Bank, after which the city would be
required to replenish those funds.
Mr. Street added that there was no grace period on paying off the debt.
Mayor Perrodin requested the city’s rating at the time of the 1997 bond issuance. Mr.
Liang stated that the city had a rating of BBB.
Mayor Perrodin requested the significance of bond ratings. Mr. Liang stated that the
higher a city’s ratings are, the better their chances are, of obtaining a lower interest rate
and more funds raised to construct new project. Mr. Liang noted that insurance
premiums would be lower as well.
Mayor Perrodin requested the number of insurance companies in the industry. Mr. Street
commented that there were two clean AAA firms in the industry not affected by the subprime mortgage crisis, FSA and Assured Guaranteed. Mr. Street stated that FSA decided
that they were not going to be involved in this transaction, however Assured Guaranteed
is reviewing the documents and expected to respond by the end of this week.
Mayor Perrodin questioned if the city was getting a better deal, based on the city’s BBB
rating of 5.5% and the city’s current rating of –A-A-A including inflation. Mr. Street
stated that today’s market is different than the market in 1997, although there is a
significant difference in the bond interest rate from BBB to –A-A-A in the class of
municipal bonds.
Councilperson Arceneaux asked if the 6.5% interest rate was based on the rating
system or the market. Mr. Street explained that 6.5% is the highest the interest rates may
increase, which is a combination of the market and rating system.
Mr. Liang also stated that the total interest cost is currently 5.6%, including bond cost
and principal payments at a BBB rating.
Councilperson Dobson asked if the annual premium cost was included in the bond
issuance.
Mr. Street stated that there is a one-time fee, due at closing, from bond proceeds for the
life of the bonds.
# 1.
Mayor Perrodin questioned if the fee was a flat fee or a percentage of the bond.
Mr. Street cited that the fee is calculated by base points to a fixed dollar amount, which
is a percentage of the total debt service over the life of the bonds. Mr. Street noted that
staff would conduct an analysis to ensure it makes sense for the city to purchase that
particular bond insurance.
Mr. Clark-Herrera stated that his office ensures that the transaction is in compliance with
federal tax rules, of which the city is not permitted, unless the savings are demonstrated.
Mayor Perrodin inquired as to whether citizens could purchase the bonds. Mr. Liang
replied affirmatively, noting that retail investors could purchase the bonds as well.
Mayor Perrodin requested that the information be brought back for prospective citizen
interest. Mr. Liang stated that the bonds cost $1,000.00 per bond with a five bond
minimum.
Councilperson Calhoun questioned if members of council could purchase the bonds. Mr.
Herrera replied affirmatively.
Craig Cornwell, Chief Deputy City Attorney, affirmed that bond purchases are open to
the public, therefore council has access to them.
Mr. Cornwell indicated that the resolution requires that council make a finding.
Anita Aviles, Deputy City Attorney, stated that the proposed bond issuance is being
done, pursuant to the authority of and requirements of the Government Code Section
6584 Act. According to the sub-section in the code, before the proposed bond issuance
may be authorized, the City Council must make a finding of significant public benefit for
each of the capital improvements, outlined previously. Subsequently, staff identified the
projects and the requirements of the government code section have been met.

AUDIENCE COMMENTS
COUNCIL COMMENTS
Councilperson Arceneaux requested an
update on the safety of the city’s water
supply.
Kambiz Shoghi, representative of the Water Department, clarified that the findings aired
on the news recently, were from the year 2006, which means that the chemical
compounds have probably been in the water supply since 1950. Mr. Shoghi stated that
the amounts of chemicals sustained in the water are significantly low, therefore in order
to get sick, a person would have to ingest enough water to fill 120 Olympic swimming
pools.
Mr. Shoghi further stated that the city only purchases ten percent of its water from the
Metropolitan Water District, which is then mixed with the city’s well water. Thus, that
lowers the city’s concentration of chemical compounds.
Mayor Perrodin requested the cost to restructure the city’s water infrastructure. Mr.
Shoghi stated that it would cost the city $270 million dollars to replace the city’s water
infrastructure.
Councilperson Dobson announced that the El Camino College Small Business
Development Center would be hosting a “Business Plan Seminar” at Careerlink on
Tuesday, March 18, 2008 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. For more information, please call (310)
973-3177.

March 23, 2008, Compton Boulevard at Willowbrook Avenue). For more information,
please contact the Department of Public Works at (310) 605-5696.
Councilperson Calhoun announced that the Beautification Committee would be
observing the 1st District from March 1, 2008 through April 30, 2008 to determine the
most outstanding and the most improved properties. Winners will be announced at the
City Council meeting scheduled for May 27, 2008. All winners will be featured in the

Councilperson Calhoun informed the residents and business owners near Tamarind
Avenue that they would be experiencing high volumes of noise, due to the demolition of
the old Compton Unified School District buildings. For more information, please call
(626) 839-9300.
Councilperson Calhoun commented that she attended a meeting with the Concerned
Citizens of 127th Street, 127th Place, Dalehart Street and Kennashaw Street concerning
developers Francis Arnold and Jorge Valencia and the manner in which they maintain
their existing properties. Ms. Calhoun stated that their existing properties are full of
weeds, wild grass and bushes, non-operational cars and three dilapidated homes.
Subsequently, the residents in that area do not want them to construct another
development in their community and ignore it in the same way they do their existing
properties.
Councilperson Calhoun questioned if a nominal fee could be attached to the fees,
developers pay to use the city’s water and sewer services.
City Manager Evans stated that staff is currently overseeing recommendations on fee
structures and an increase in connection fees. Mr. Evans stated that he would bring back
a sewer and water main analysis in April 2008.
Mayor Perrodin requested that the meeting be adjourned in memory of Mildred
Johnson-Brown and Cleo Bluit.
Mayor Perrodin requested that additional signage be implemented a mile away from the
construction along Willowbrook Avenue in each direction.
Mayor Perrodin expressed a concern for a personnel issue and mandated that all
department heads be versed in the rules and regulations of hiring protocol and approving
temporary appointments.
Mayor Perrodin announced that the “Mayor’s and Pastors Breakfast” would be held on
Saturday, March 15, 2008 from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. at the Crystal Park Casino. For more
information, please RSVP the event at (310) 605-5597.

Mayor Perrodin commented on the condition of the repaved streets in front of his home
on Central Avenue and requested the completion date for competent, first-rate work.
Charles Bergson, Director of the Public Works Department, stated that the work would
be completed in approximately two weeks.
Charles Nelson, Deputy Director of the Public Works Department, stated that the
equipment began to malfunction two to three hours into the project and apologized for the
situation. Mr. Nelson assured the Mayor that the project would be completed under two
weeks.
# 1.
Mayor Perrodin inquired as to when Charles Nelson became aware of the machines not
working properly. Mayor Perrodin stated that he was not satisfied with the project or the
response that he received and asked Mr. Nelson if he felt the work was done proficiently.
Mr. Nelson replied affirmatively, however he commented that he felt the road was rough
and directed the crew to smooth it out and repave the road.
Mayor Perrodin questioned if there was a supervisor present during construction.
Mr. Nelson stated that street foreman; Michael Peete was present during the construction
of the project.
Mayor Perrodin commented that the lines were covered during the construction of the
right lane, therefore the lanes were misconstrued and could have caused an accident.
Mayor Perrodin further cited that after the first job was completed, the cones for
construction were not removed for a week. Mayor Perrodin stated that he has no
experience in street paving, but lane one was noticeable higher than lane two.
Mayor Perrodin inquired as to why the city did not have a truck that quickly and
efficiently filled potholes. Mr. Nelson stated that he did not have an answer to that
question.
Mayor Perrodin asked if anyone thought of putting the purchase of this vehicle in the
budget. Mr. Nelson stated that he recently became aware of this machine.
Mayor Perrodin asked if the department had employees who were certified to fill
potholes. Mr. Nelson stated that he implemented a program six months ago, to certify his
employees, although prior to that, no training had taken place.
Mayor Perrodin questioned why no training had taken place prior to six months ago.
Mr. Nelson indicated that he has been dealing with several training issues as the Deputy
Director of the department.
Mayor Perrodin asked if this was the first training endeavor for asphalt certification. Mr.
Nelson replied affirmatively.
Mayor Perrodin questioned why it has taken this long to initiate asphalt training
certification. Mr. Nelson cited that there were competing issues, tasks and other
certification issues taking place.
Mayor Perrodin requested those other types of certification. Mr. Nelson cited waste,
disposal and sewer certification.
Mayor Perrodin stated that he recalls asking every department in the city, if they had all
the necessary staffing, funds and equipment to perform their jobs efficiently.
Subsequently, only Careerlink and the Housing Authority have stated that they did not
have the necessary components to perform their jobs to the highest capacity.
City Manager Evans stated a proposal for a new fleet of Street Department equipment
would be brought back at the March 25, 2008 council meeting. Mr. Evans mentioned
that he allowed the department to seek their own training but, unfortunately, their
performance training was conducted on the city’s streets in front of the Mayor’s home.
Councilperson Hall questioned if this was a staffing issue. Mr. Nelson asserted that this
was not a staffing issue concerning specific projects.
Councilperson Dobson requested the cost of the vehicle that fills potholes. Mr. Nelson
indicated that the vehicle would cost the city $250,000.00.
# 1.
City Manager Evans reiterated that a proposal would be brought back for council review.
Councilperson Hall asked Mr. Bergson if he had a follow-up report regarding the turning
signal at Atlantic and Alondra Boulevard. Mr. Bergson stated that he reviewed the traffic
signal and readjusted the timing to allow more movement for left turns.
Councilperson Hall inquired as to whether the department had considered installing a
temporary traffic signal. Mr. Bergson replied affirmatively, although he added that, that
option would reconfigure the entire traffic structure.

Bergson stated that the project should be completed by June 2008.

AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Paulette Conley stated that for the past three months she has been before the Planning
Commission to debate a proposed residential development that has been approved by the
Planning Commission. Ms. Conley explained that the developers for the proposed
residential development currently own an existing property in the area, which is not in
compliance with the city’s codes or regulations. Ms. Conley asked the council to
investigate this issue as soon as possible. Ms. Conley noted that the Block Club held a
meeting, in which the fire department determined the proposed residential development
to be a fire hazard, due to its location.
Councilperson Calhoun stated that she received pictures from Ms. Conley, regarding
the current conditions of the developer’s existing residential development and gave them
to the City Manager and Chief Deputy City Attorney. Ms. Calhoun mentioned that the
Assistant City Manager was present during the fire department’s assessment of the new
development and its location.
Councilperson Hall commented that the new development should have had to pass
several inspections overseen by the Building and Safety Department. Mr. Hall indicated
that if due diligence was met by Public Safety standards, then the development must be
in compliance with the city’s codes.
Councilperson Calhoun indicated that this issue concerns the renters living in deplorable
conditions at the existing residential development and the new homes being built at the
new site.
Councilperson Hall questioned if code enforcement had visited the existing residential
property.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON
AMENDING THE CITY’S 2007-2008 FISCAL YEAR BUDGET AND
APPROPRIATING ADDITIONAL FUNDS TO EXPAND THE FIRST TIME
HOMEBUYERS PROGRAM
SUMMARY
Authorizing the City Manager to amend the City’s 2007-2008 fiscal year budget and appropriating
additional funds to expand the First Time Homebuyers Program.
BACKGROUND
The Community Redevelopment Agency (Agency) currently operates a First Time Homebuyers
Program that provides homeownership assistance to households who have been priced out of the
homeownership market. The program provides a gap financing assistance to qualified first time
homebuyers in the form of a silent second (ranging from $100,000 to $150,000) towards the purchase
of a home in the community. However, as a result of unexpected surge of buyer demands for subsidies
under the program, current budgetary allocation under the program is not adequate to assist the
volume of applicants in need of homeownership assistance. Consequently, additional budgetary
appropriation is necessary to meet the subsidy needs of outstanding participants under the program.
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
The Agency is currently reviewing approximately thirty homebuyer applicants for home subsidies
under the program. These applicants include ten (10) prospective homebuyers for the phase II of the
(Willow Walk development Olson Project) and twenty (20) homebuyer applicants citywide.
Assuming an average subsidy of $100,000 per each qualified homebuyer, the estimated subsidy for
thirty buyers would equal $3,000,000.00. In absence of such subsidy assistance, the dream of
homeownership for most of these moderate income families could not be fulfilled (see attached).This
report is requesting City Council authorization for appropriation of additional funds towards the first
time program would mitigate the affordability crisis.
RECOMMENDATION
That the attached Resolution be adopted.

CONTRACT WITH MUNIFINANCIAL FOR ASSISTANCE WITH THE
RENEWAL
PROCESS
FOR THE CITY OF COMPTON’S
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT AND SEWER SERVICE
CHARGE
SUMMARY
This resolution requests the authorization of the City Council of the City of Compton to enter a
contract with MuniFinancial for the Lighting and Landscape and Sewer Service Charge
Assessments for fiscal years 2008/2009 and 2008/2010.
BACKGROUND
Annually, the City is required by statute to prepare and adopt Lighting and Landscape and Sewer
Service Charge Assessments. The first step for the City Council to take in levying the fiscal year
assessments is to adopt a resolution accepting the renewal of the contract of a municipal finance
consulting firm for the preparation of the Lighting and Landscape District and the Sewer Service
Charge.
The City needs the services of a qualified and experienced municipal finance consultant to prepare
the necessary assessments. MuniFinancial prepared the assessment charges for the City of
Compton for the 2007/2008 fiscal year, and the City is satisfied with their services.
On February 2008, MuniFinancial submitted a proposal to assist the City in the renewal process
for the Lighting and Landscape District and the Sewer Service Charge and the necessary
assessment related services in the amount of Forty-Two Thousand Six Hundred Dollars and No
Cents ($42,600.00) with a not-to-exceed expenses of Two Thousand Dollars and No Cents
($2,000.00) for such reimbursable items as postage, travel, mileage, maps, electronic data, etc. In
order to save staff and administrative time, a request for a two-year contract was made.
MuniFinancial’s proposal is to prepare the necessary reports and studies for Compton’s
Landscaping and Lighting District and Sewer Service Charge for Fiscal Year 2008-2009, and
Fiscal Year 2009-2010.
It is incumbent upon the City to undertake the Lighting and Landscape and Sewer Service Charge
Assessments in order to raise revenue to fund services for maintenance of landscaping, lighting,
traffic signals, and to pay for sewer debt service (bonds) and maintenance for the upcoming fiscal
year.
It is recommended to enter a contract with MuniFinancial for the Lighting and Landscape and
Sewer Service Charge Assessments for fiscal years 2008/2009, and 2009/2010.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no impact to the General Fund.
Funds will be available in the 2008/2009 fiscal year budgets from the accounts as follows:

AMENDING THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT 2007-2008 FISCAL
YEAR BUDGET TO APPROPRIATE STATE FUNDS SR2SL -5078 FOR THE
SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOLS PROJECT, AND ACCEPTING THE
PROPOSAL FROM APA ENGINEERING CIP#06-11
SUMMARY
This Resolution requests authorization to amend the Public Works Department 2007-2008 Fiscal Year
Budget to appropriate State funds for the Safe Routes To Schools Project, and to accept the proposal
from APA Engineering to design and prepare construction documents for sidewalk and crosswalk
improvements in the vicinity of Longfellow, Mayo and Washington Elementary Schools, and Roosevelt
Middle School.
BACKGROUND
Safe Routes to School (SR2S) is an international program involving over 40 countries and over 5,000
U.S. schools. Its goal is to increase the number of children who walk or bicycle to school by making
their routes safer and more appealing. In California, the State Department of Transportation
(CALTRANS) administers the SR2S program, awarding federal grants to local communities to improve
infrastructure within two miles of schools, and to promote the program through an educational and
resource component.
In the 2003 funding cycle, Compton was awarded a $450,000 SR2S grant, the maximum amount given
to any single project. The grant pays for the cost to install in-pavement crosswalk lights, high-visibility
crosswalk treatments, signs and pavement markings along routes to Longfellow Elementary School,
Washington Elementary School, Mayo Elementary School, and Roosevelt Middle School.
To avoid having the grant lapse, the Director of Public Works has obtained time extensions from
CALTRANS. A construction contract is to be awarded by the end of June, and work is anticipated for
completion during the summer when school is not in session.
The Compton Unified School District supports this project. All four schools will have sidewalk and
wheelchair access ramps built along their routes, and appropriate signage, striping and crosswalk
markings added. In addition, the following improvements will be designed and constructed:
•
Longfellow Elementary School (1101 S. Dwight Avenue)
•
Crosswalk treatment (in-pavement lighted crosswalk) at the intersection of Reeve
Street and Central Avenue
•
Crosswalk treatment (in-pavement lighted crosswalk) at the intersection of

CITY MANAGER
RE:
PREPARATION OF A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
BETWEEN THE
CITY
OF COMPTON
AND
NICE
COPRORATION FOR THE USE AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE
FORMER CALIFORNIA NATIONAL GUARD ARMORY
BACKGROUND
In November 2006, the California National Guard vacated the 60-year old Armory
facility located at 2320 North Parmelee Avenue in Compton. For nearly two years, the
property has been vacant, subject to crime, vagrancy and occupancy by squatters. In light
of its proximity to two educational institutions, McNair Elementary School and
Centennial Senior High School, the property is also prone to become an attractive
nuisance.
On September 10, 2007, NICE (The National Institution of Community Enlightenment),
a nonprofit, community service organization, entered into a one-year lease with the State
of California, for use of the above property. James Davis II, president and CEO of NICE,
has met with City Manager, Charles Evans, and Assistant City Manager, Rico Smith. Mr.
Davis has expressed an interest in entering into an agreement between NICE and the City
that would achieve the following results:
1. Eliminate blight and crime from the property.
2. Provide a training center for disaster preparedness, emergency management and
crime prevention.
3. Provide a training center for implementation of Homeland Security Programs.
4. Provide other beneficial services to the City, Compton Unified School District
and the Compton Community College District.
CONCLUSION
Mr. Davis believes that by entering into an agreement with a nonprofit organization, such
as NICE, to achieve the above and other goals, the City will be able to obtain maximum
use of the site for the benefit of its citizens. Staff would like authority from the Honorable
Mayor and City Council to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding between the City
and NICE that will delineate the duties, obligations and roles of each in the use and
development of the former Armory site.
