Lompoc City Council 6 2 2026

The City of Lompoc City Council held a regular session on June 2, 2026, addressing several procurement and policy matters. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of a $28,000 two-year contract for a municipal code review consultant, with council members requesting a timeline for completion. The council also reviewed and approved the Lompoc Police Department's 2025 annual military equipment report, including the addition of drones as first responder equipment for 2026. Additionally, the council discussed potential amendments to the city's smoking ordinance, considering new regulations such as a tobacco retail selling license, expanded outdoor smoking bans including bus stops and public recreational areas, and restrictions on smoking in multi-unit housing with shared forced air systems. The city attorney was tasked with bringing back a staff report outlining options for addressing the ongoing legal and ethical issues involving a council member accused of fraud, including possible censure or removal from committee assignments. Public comments heavily focused on demands for accountability and transparency regarding these allegations. No formal votes on the smoking ordinance amendments were taken, but motions were made to bring back comprehensive proposals for future consideration.
