10-13-26 City Of Inglewood Council Meeting

The City of Inglewood City Council meeting on October 13, 2026 included two procurement-related actions. On the consent calendar, the council approved a cooperative purchase agreement with KDG Construction Consulting for owner’s representative and construction management services for the Inglewood Transit Connector Project; the consent items passed unanimously. The council also unanimously approved Mayor James T. Butts Jr.’s initiative, co-sponsored by Council Member Dionne Fogg, directing an independent audit of Hollywood Park revenue accountability and ticket transparency from 2015 to the present. The motion did not state a contract amount. Public speakers referenced proposed audit spending of $325,000 and a separate $453,000 audit, but those figures were not specified in the motion itself.

During discussion, Council Member Gloria Gray proposed adding quarterly financial transparency and independent verification requirements for the city’s Wow Media billboard agreement, including a review of historical revenue and obligations. The proposal was not added to the Hollywood Park motion; the mayor and city attorney indicated it could be brought forward as a separate agenda item. The council also held a public hearing on city workforce vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts, reporting an overall vacancy rate of 8.2%, and received monthly treasury reports. No procurement action was identified in those items.
