Council Agenda Report
To: Mayor Riggins and the Honorable Members of the City Council Prepared by: Richard Rojas, Interim Deputy City Manager Approved by: Joseph D. Toney, Acting City Manager
Date prepared: May 1, 2025 Meeting date: May 21, 2025
Subject: Assembly Bill (AB) 1253 Home Rebuild Fairness and Property Tax Relief Act - SUPPORT
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Authorize the Mayor to send a letter of support for Assembly Bill 1253 (Schultz), which would address property tax assessment issues for homeowners rebuilding after the devastating 2025 wildfires in Los Angeles County.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action.
STRATEGIC PRIORITY: This item is part of the day-to-day operations identified in the Adopted FY 2024-25 Strategic Priority Project List.
DISCUSSION: Assembly Bill 1253 allows county assessors to treat reconstructed homes as substantially equivalent to the original structures, even if they exceed prior dimensions by up to 110%, without triggering property tax reassessment. This change aligns tax policy with emergency rebuilding standards authorized by Governor Executive Order N-4-25, aimed at expediting post-disaster recovery in the affected areas.
On January 12, 2025, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-4-25, easing environmental and permitting laws to allow rebuilding on the same sites, provided structures don’t exceed 110% of their previous footprint and height. However, confusion has arisen between these relaxed building standards and existing property tax law. Under current rules, if a rebuilt home is not substantially equivalent to its predecessor, it may be classified as “new construction” and reassessed—often resulting in much higher property taxes. Local agencies have mistakenly assured homeowners that rebuilding up to 110% would not affect their tax base, causing many to unknowingly exceed the threshold and risk reassessment.
City Council Meeting

Item

Agenda Item # 1.B.4.
Assembly Bill 1253 would authorize assessors to treat rebuilds that comply with Executive Order N-4-25 (i.e. up to 110% of the original footprint/height) as substantially equivalent for property tax purposes. This would apply exclusively to homes damaged or destroyed by the 2025 Palisades Fire in specified communities. The bill proposes to align emergency planning permissions with tax law, avoiding unintended tax penalties for good-faith efforts to rebuild.
The bill is supported by its author, Assemblymember Schultz, the California Assessors' Association, and local officials. Proponents emphasize that this clarification prevents additional financial strain on fire victims who are already dealing with trauma, loss, and rebuilding challenges. The bill aims to protect taxpayers who followed local guidance and assume they wouldn’t face higher taxes for rebuilding slightly larger or taller homes.
In summary, AB 1253 is an emergency-driven bill seeking to ensure fair and compassionate tax treatment for homeowners rebuilding after the 2025 wildfires. It temporarily aligns property tax law with emergency building allowances to avoid punitive reassessments. While it addresses a clear gap in current law, further refinement may be needed to maintain the integrity of the property tax system and prevent unintended exploitation.

AB 1253 – Home Rebuild Fairness and Property Tax Relief Act Summary:
AB 1253 provides clarity for property owners rebuilding homes damaged or destroyed by wildfires in early 2025.
The bill ensures that the definition of “substantially
equivalent” in the Revenue and Taxation Code (RTC)
aligns with local and state government reconstruction
standards. Specifically, the bill allows county assessors to consider government-mandated rebuild standards—
such as those under the 110% expedited permitting
process—when determining whether a reconstructed
home qualifies for property tax base value retention
under existing “new construction” exclusions.
Background:
Under California’s property tax law, homes that are
reconstructed after damage or destruction can retain their original tax base if the new structure is deemed
“substantially equivalent” to the one lost. This provision helps homeowners avoid significant property tax
increases during recovery from disasters.
Separately, in response to severe wildfire events, the
Governor and local government authorized an expedited
110% rebuild permit review process. These policies
allow homeowners to rebuild homes up to 110% of their
previous size and height—fast-tracking reconstruction
by suspending some environmental and coastal review
requirements.
However, confusion has arisen in how local
governments interpret these two provisions, as the 110% standard under building codes has been inadvertently
conflated with property tax assessment laws—creating
uncertainty about whether rebuilt homes still qualify for base-year value retention.
AB 1253:
• Applies to properties damaged or destroyed by
the January 2025 wildfire disasters in Los
Angeles and Ventura Counties, specifically the
Palisades, Eaton, Hurst, Lidia, Sunset, or
Woodley fires.
• Authorizes county assessors to determine a
reconstructed property as “substantially
equivalent” for tax purposes if it meets the
reconstruction standards set by state or local
government orders, even if those standards
exceed previous size or height thresholds.
• Aligns the Revenue and Taxation Code’s
assessment practices with real-world rebuilding
policies to ensure consistent, fair treatment of
disaster-impacted homeowners.

RE: City of Malibu Support for AB 1253 (Schultz) - Home Rebuild Fairness and Property Tax Relief Act - as Amended on April 21, 2025
Honorable [Chair Assemblymember], [Vice Chair Assemblymember], and Members of the Assembly [Committee],
As Mayor of the City of Malibu, I write to offer our full support for Assembly Bill 1253, authored by Assemblymember Shultz. This legislation offers a practical and timely solution to a critical issue faced by residents rebuilding after the devastating 2025 wildfires in Los Angeles and Ventura Counties.
In the aftermath of these unprecedented wildfires, communities throughout the region— including Malibu—have struggled to navigate a patchwork of emergency planning measures, fast-tracked reconstruction guidelines, and rigid property tax rules that were never designed to address such large-scale disaster recovery. One of the most urgent challenges we’ve encountered involves the mismatch between what local governments are permitting for rebuilding, and what state law allows in terms of property tax treatment.
In order to speed up recovery, local jurisdictions, including ours, have authorized homeowners to rebuild up to 110% of their prior structures—recognizing the need for flexibility during a time of immense hardship. Unfortunately, under existing property tax law, any reconstruction that exceeds “substantially equivalent” parameters is categorized as new construction, triggering reassessment and potentially imposing unanticipated tax burdens on property owners who believed they were in compliance.
This disconnect has caused significant confusion, and worse—many residents, acting on guidance from local agencies, may now face tax reassessments through no fault of their own.
The financial consequences of this misunderstanding could undermine recovery efforts and place additional strain on homeowners already grappling with loss and displacement.
AB 1253 offers a narrowly tailored, temporary fix that acknowledges the unique circumstances of this disaster. By allowing Assessors to exclude from reassessment any rebuilding that does not exceed 110% of the original structure, the bill brings consistency and compassion to a complex situation. It does not create a new standard, but rather adjusts the existing framework to reflect the reality of coordinated emergency responses at the local level.
While some may argue that Assessors can already use discretion in these cases, statewide consistency is essential. Without clear legislative guidance, property owners in similar situations 4 Attachment 2
could face very different outcomes depending on where they live—a disparity that this bill wisely avoids.
We urge your support for AB 1253 as a necessary step to ensure equity, transparency, and stability for those working to rebuild their lives and homes after disaster.
Thank you for your leadership and continued support for wildfire-impacted communities.
Sincerely,
Marianne Riggins, Mayor
City of Malibu

Mike Gipson, Chair
AB 1253 (Schultz) – As Amended April 21, 2025
Majority vote. Fiscal committee.
SUBJECT: Property taxation: newly constructed property: reconstruction of damaged or destroyed property
SUMMARY: Authorizes an assessor to align the assessment of "substantial equivalence" with suspensions or modifications of rebuild development standards, if the modifications or suspensions are designed to expedite the rebuilding of property damaged by the 2025 fire disasters in Palisades, Eaton, Hurst, Lidia, Sunset, or Woodley, as proclaimed by the Governor.
EXISTING LAW:
1) Provides that all property is taxable unless otherwise provided by the California Constitution or the laws of the United States. (California Constitution, Article XIII, Section 1.) 2) Limits the maximum amount of ad valorem property taxation to 1% of the full cash value of the property. Generally, the Constitution restricts the full cash value of a property to the assessed value upon a change of ownership in, or new construction on, the property. This is referred to as the base year value, which may be adjusted upwards for inflation at no more than 2% annually. (California Constitution, Article XIIIA, Sections 1 and 2.) 3) Excludes from the definition of "newly constructed" real property that is reconstructed after a disaster declared by the Governor, where the fair market value of the reconstructed real property is comparable to its fair market value prior to the disaster. (California Constitution, Article XIIIA, Section 2.) Property owners have a five-year period during which they may reconstruct a damaged or destroyed property on the same site and retain the base year value of their property, subject to valuation limitations. (Revenue & Taxation Code Section (R&TC) Section 70.5.) Statutory provisions authorize an exclusion from the definition of "new construction" for property that is damaged or destroyed by misfortune or calamity, if the property is rebuilt in a substantially equivalent manner. (R&TC Section 70.) FISCAL EFFECT: Pending an estimate by the State Board of Equalization.
COMMENTS:
1) The author has submitted the following statement in support of this bill:
In the aftermath of the unprecedented wildfires that have ravaged our state, state and local governments have taken commendable steps to support disaster recovery. Many city, county, and state planning agencies have authorized expedited reconstruction permits, allowing property owners to rebuild up to 110% of their prior structure. These Attachment 3
6 AB 1253
efforts are aimed at accelerating recovery and providing flexibility to homeowners in crisis.
However, while these policies are well-intentioned, they are not aligned with existing property tax assessment practices as established by the California Constitution and the Revenue and Taxation Code. Under current law, for property tax purposes, any reconstruction that exceeds “substantial equivalence” to the original structure is considered new construction and is subject to reassessment.
Unfortunately, many local agencies and officials – often unknowingly – have misinformed homeowners, suggesting that rebuilding up to 110% or more would not affect their property tax base. As a result, numerous homeowners, acting in good faith, may rebuild beyond allowable limits and face unexpected reassessments and supplemental tax bills. These financial shocks add to the emotional and economic hardship already experienced by those recovering from disaster.
AB 1253 addresses this gap by clarifying the distinction between local planning approvals and property tax assessment rules. It seeks to ensure consistent communication to property owners and prevent the unintended consequences of reassessment for those who are simply trying to rebuild their homes and their lives. By aligning recovery policy with assessment law, AB 1253 protects homeowners from further financial harm during one of the most vulnerable times in their lives.
2) The California Assessors' Association, writing in support of this bill, states, in part:
For assessment purposes, reconstruction beyond a standard of "substantial equivalence" is considered new construction and subject to reassessment – even if local building codes permit greater allowances. Unfortunately, numerous local agencies and officials have inadvertently misinformed property owners, suggesting that rebuilding up to 110% or more would not affect their property tax base. As a result, many homeowners – acting in good faith – are likely to rebuild beyond allowable assessment thresholds and face unexpected reassessments and supplemental tax bills. Further compounding the financial and emotional toll of disaster recovery.
AB 1253 will resolve this disconnect by temporarily aligning property tax assessment standards with the emergency building allowances granted under state and local government mandate. It will allow Assessors, under clearly defined and limited conditions, to accept rebuilding up to 110% of the original structure without triggering reassessment – bringing much-needed clarity and fairness to impacted property owners. 3) Committee Staff Comments:
a) 2025 Los Angeles (LA) Fires: Beginning in early January 2025, a series of fires began raging in LA County. Exacerbated by hurricane force gusts and drought conditions, these fires rapidly grew, expanding into outlying residential areas of the LA metropolitan area.
As the month progressed, the conditions exacerbating these fires led to serious complications for first responders, and the conflagrations grew without containment.
After containment of these fires, however, the true depth of destruction began to become clear. According to the University of California, LA, Anderson Forecast, total property 7 AB 1253
and capital losses could range from $76 billion to $131 billion, with a potential decline in county-level gross domestic product of $4.6 billion. This loss from fire is unprecedented in the state. By comparison, the Camp Fire that destroyed the town of Paradise and was the most destructive fire in the state is estimated to have an associated loss of around $17 billion, an order of magnitude less than the 2025 LA Fires. b) Governor Executive Order (EO) N-4-25: In response to the 2025 LA Fires, the Governor issued a series of EOs to provide relief to victims. Among these orders, the Governor ordered the suspension of certain laws, including the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) and permitting requirements under the California Coastal Act (Public Resources Code Section 30000 et seq.), when rebuilding on the same site property damaged or destroyed by the 2025 LA Fires. To qualify for this suspension, however, the property must not be reconstructed beyond 110% of the footprint and height of the damaged or destroyed property. c) Existing property tax relief when rebuilding damaged or destroyed property: Existing law authorizes two types of relief when property is suddenly damaged or destroyed, without fault by the property owner, and is subsequently rebuilt on the same site. The first type excludes from the definition of "new construction" a property damaged or destroyed by a misfortune or calamity that is timely rebuilt in a substantially equivalent manner as the property prior to the misfortune or calamity. In other words, statutory provisions allow an assessor to not reassess the value of a rebuilt property if it is substantially equivalent to the property before it was damaged or destroyed. Existing law does not define "substantially equivalent", nor does existing law provide a time frame in which the property owner must rebuild their property. Assessors' Handbook (AH) Section 410 emphasizes the statutory requirement that any portion of reconstructed real property that exceeds substantial equivalency to the damaged or destroyed property must be reassessed to its fair market value. The AH, however, does not expand on the scope of substantial equivalence, nor an eligible time frame in which to rebuild. Thus, an assessor has wide authority in applying this provision of property tax relief.
The second type authorizes a base year value transfer for property damaged or destroyed by a Governor-proclaimed disaster. This authorization is narrower than the previous.
Here, the property must be damaged by a Governor-proclaimed disaster, rather than a general misfortune or calamity. Reconstruction must occur within five years and at no more than 120% of the full cash value of the property before its damage or destruction.
The reconstructed value of the property exceeding 120% is subject to taxation. While the size and value of a property are inexorably linked, assessors are tasked with assessing the fair market value of a property, as specified. Thus, the final metric by which property tax law generally evaluates changes to property is its value. d) The problem: EO N-4-25 has caused confusion as to what extent the order authorized flexibility in rebuilding. Some local agencies responsible for the myriad efforts of recovery misconstrued the order, and advised property owners that they may reconstruct their property pursuant to the order without causing a property tax increase. The LA County Assessor is circulating information to taxpayers to clarify this confusion; however, this information may be difficult for some property owners to receive as they may not be residing, or have access to, the address on file with the Assessor post-disaster.
Thus, to address this concern, the LA County Assessor seeks flexibility in aligning 8 AB 1253
assessment practices with building standards and permitting requirements after the 2025 LA Fires.
e) Value consideration: As noted previously, property tax law generally relies on the fair market value of a property to derive its base year value. Size is a crucial factor in determining fair market value, but size alone very rarely determines fair market value in its entirety. The damage caused by the 2025 LA Fires was unprecedented in this state, and the goal of providing relief and flexibility to property owners after this catastrophe is laudable. As currently drafted, however, this bill could be overly broad in the flexibility it provides. To ensure savvy and resourced property owners do not leverage this authorization to rebuild within the bounds of EO N-4-25, but well beyond the bounds of the existing value test, the Committee may wish to consider tying relief under this bill to the existing base year value transfer test after a Governor-proclaimed disaster.

ASSEMBLY BILL No. 1253
Introduced by Assembly Member Schultz
February 21, 2025
An act to amend Section 19170.3 of the Business and Professions Code, relating to professions and vocations. An act to amend Section 70 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, relating to taxation. legislative counsel’s digest
AB 1253, as amended, Schultz. Home Furnishings and Thermal Insulation Act: insulation manufacturing license fee. Property taxation:
newly constructed property: reconstruction of damaged or destroyed property.
The California Constitution generally limits ad valorem taxes on real property to 1% of the full cash value of that property. For purposes of this limitation, “full cash value” is defined as the assessor’s valuation of real property as shown on the 1975–76 tax bill under “full cash value” or, thereafter, the appraised value of that real property when purchased, newly constructed, or a change in ownership has occurred.
Existing law defines “newly constructed” and “new construction” to mean any addition to real property since the last lien date and any alteration of land or of any improvement since the last lien date that constitutes a major rehabilitation thereof or that converts the property to a different use. Existing law, where real property has been damaged or destroyed by misfortune or calamity, excludes from the definition of “newly constructed” and “new construction” any timely reconstruction of the real property, or portion thereof, where the property after 98 10
Attachment 4
reconstruction is substantially equivalent to the property prior to damage or destruction.
This bill would authorize an assessor, in the case where state or local government action mandates a suspension or modification of rebuild development standards, to align the assessment of “substantial equivalence” with the requirements and criteria set forth by the government for reconstruction of property damaged by the 2025 fire disasters in Palisades, Eaton, Hurst, Lidia, Sunset, or Woodley, as provided.
Existing law, the Home Furnishings and Thermal Insulation Act, requires the Bureau of Household Goods and Services to exercise specified licensing, regulatory, and disciplinary functions with regard to retailers, wholesalers, importers, manufacturers, renovators, and suppliers of upholstered furniture, bedding, and filling materials sold in California, as specified. Existing law authorizes the bureau to, among other things, fix the annual fee for an insulation manufacturing license in an amount that is not less than $1,850 but not more than $2,500.
This bill would, instead, set the maximum amount of the fee to be fixed by the bureau at $2,600.

line 4 (1) Any addition to real property, whether land or improvements, line 5 including fixtures, since the last lien date; and line 6 (2) Any alteration of land or of any improvement, including line 7 fixtures, since the last lien date that constitutes a major line 8 rehabilitation thereof or that converts the property to a different line 9 use.
line 10 (b) Any rehabilitation, renovation, or modernization that line 11 converts an improvement or fixture to the substantial equivalent line 12 of a new improvement or fixture is a major rehabilitation of that line 13 improvement or fixture.
line 14 (c) (1) Notwithstanding subdivisions (a) and (b), where real line 15 property has been damaged or destroyed by misfortune or calamity, line 16 “newly constructed” and “new construction” does not mean any 98 AB 1253 — 2 —

Reviewed by: Rob DuBoux, Public Works Director/City Engineer Approved by: Joseph D. Toney, Acting City Manager
Date prepared: April 25, 2025 Meeting date: May 21, 2025 Subject: Amendment to Professional Services Agreement with Woodard and Curran
RECOMMENDED ACTION: 1) Authorize the Mayor to execute Amendment No. 5 to the Professional Services Agreement with Woodard and Curran to increase their scope of work to provide a preliminary design report for a new wastewater collection system along Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) to Hyperion Water Reclamation Plant and to extend the term of the agreement for a period of three years; and 2) Appropriate $271,478 from the General Fund-Unassigned for the preliminary design report.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funding for this amendment to increase scope of work was not included in the Adopted Budget for FY 2024-25. An additional appropriation of $271,478 from the General Fund-Unassigned to Account No. 310-9075-5100 (CCWTF-Phase Two) is needed to perform this increased scope of work. The projected General Fund Undesignated Reserve on June 30, 2025 is $64.5 million.
Although this funding is being allocated to the Civic Center Water Treatment Facility (CCWTF) Phase 2 CIP, should the potential sewer system be designed to connect a facility other than CCWTF, funding will be reallocated to its own CIP project.
WORK PLAN: This item is part of the day-to-day operations identified in the Adopted FY 2024-25 Strategic Priority Project List.
DISCUSSION: On August 12, 2019, the City entered into an agreement with Woodward and Curran to provide engineering design services for CCWTF Phase Two. During the City Council Meeting

early design phase of this project, it was discovered that additional design work was needed.
On March 22, 2021, the Council approved Amendment No. 1 amending the scope of work to include additional geotechnical investigations, modifications of the initial design based upon comments from the Regional Board and additional structural design and permitting requirements requested by Caltrans. Woodard and Curran had to perform additional survey work to obtain easements, additional environmental work to amend the Environmental Impact Report. Woodard and Curran also needed to prepare and submit a Coastal Development Permit.
On August 9, 2021, the Council authorized Amendment No. 2 to amend the scope of work to prepare a new Historic Properties Identification Report (HPIR) that was consistent with the State guidelines at the request of the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB).
During the City’s State Revolving Fund (SRF) application review, the SWRCB cultural resources staff indicated that a new HPIR would be required. The new HPIR was not part of the original scope but is needed for the City to acquire the SRF loan.
On June 13, 2022, the Council authorized Amendment No. 3 amending the scope to include additional cultural resources soil investigations along the proposed wastewater collection pipeline alignment and to finalize the environmental mitigation measures required for the SRF loan. This amendment also included eliminating and reducing tasks from the original scope of work that were no longer required.
On July 10, 2023, the Council authorized Amendment No. 4 to extend the term of the agreement to August 12, 2025. This contract extension assisted the City in developing an environmental mitigation plan with respect to the cultural resource findings associated with the design of the CCWTF Phase Two project.
On April 24, 2025, Staff provided a presentation to Council on the five different wastewater options that could be implemented on PCH for the homes that were destroyed in the Palisades Fire. The five options included connecting the properties to the CCWTF, connecting to Las Virgenes’ Tapia Water Reclamation Facility, connecting to a new wastewater treatment facility, connecting to Hyperion Water Reclamation Plant, and an option to replace the existing septic systems. The Council selected the option to connect the PCH properties to Hyperion Water Reclamation Plant. They also directed Staff to create a Sewer Ad Hoc Committee and to obtain a wastewater design consultant to assist in the development of this option.
Woodard and Curran has extensive experience of designing wastewater collection systems and treatment plants, including the design of CCWTF Phase Two. This amendment to their agreement will increase their scope of work to provide a preliminary design report to connect the beachside homes on PCH that were destroyed by the 2

Re: Amendment 5 to the Civic Center Water Treatment Facility Phase 2 for Facilities Planning for PCH Sewer to LASAN
Dear Mr. Rob Duboux:
In response to the damage from the recent fires, the City of Malibu has requested an amendment to the Civic Center Water Treatment Facility Phase 2 project to develop a Facilities Plan to extend sewer service along Pacific Coast highway (PCH) from approximately Carbon Creek to Getty Villa Drive for conveyance of the wastewater from coast side homes and businesses for treatment at the Hyperion Water Reclamation Plant (HWRP). This would eliminate the need to replace the damaged or destroyed septic system that previously served this area. The attached Exhibit A - Scope of Work describes the facilities planning effort for wastewater collection and conveyance. The intent is to use readily available aerial imagery and/or GIS Mapping to depict the proposed sewer and lift stations needed within the proposed project area. At this stage there would be no survey or geotechnical work. It is assumed Woodard & Curran will initiate work upon receipt of the notice to proceed and complete the scope within approximately 6 months. The attached Exhibit B is a breakdown of the estimated hours and fee associated with proposed Scope of Work.
We greatly appreciate the opportunity to work with you on this important project. If you have any questions on this proposal or require additional information, please contact Scott Goldman at [email protected] or (949) 420-5314 or Romy Sharafi at (213) 223-9480 or [email protected].

BACKGROUND
In January 2025, portions of the City of Malibu (City) and surrounding areas were impacted by winddriven fires. A significant number of residential and commercial structures were damaged or completely destroyed in the fires. The process of recovery and rebuilding is underway. The City is working with local agencies to determine the feasibility of installing a sewer to serve the coast side homes and businesses along a portion of Pacific Coast Highway (PCH). Centralized wastewater collection and treatment would allow for the abandonment of the septic systems of the connected properties, reducing reconstruction costs.
The proposed project area extends from approximately Carbon Creek at the west end to Getty Villa Drive on the east end (5.48 miles). Sewage from the project area, shown in Figure 1, would flow east to the Los Angeles Sanitation & Environment (LASAN) service area for conveyance and treatment at the Hyperion Water Reclamation Plant (HWRP). The City has requested Woodard & Curran (CONSULTANT) prepare the following scope of work to perform the initial conceptual project definition and facilities plan for a new sewer and force main system within project area. This scope of work, Amendment No. 5, is intended to further project implementation and funding.

STRATEGIC PRIORITY: This item is part of the day-to-day operations identified in the Adopted FY 2024-25 Strategic Priority Project List.
DISCUSSION: On November 13, 2023, the Council adopted Resolution No. 23-52 declaring the existence of a local emergency in response to increasing reckless and illegal driving on PCH. The Council last reviewed and extended this declaration January 27, 2025.
The California Emergency Service Act allows the City to proclaim a local state of emergency when needed to protect the public safety in dire circumstances. The status and use of Pacific Coast Highway (“PCH”) currently constitutes a condition, or threatened condition, of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property within the City of Malibu.
PCH is the City’s main thoroughfare, and each day serves as a commuting route, a residential street, a business corridor, and for persons accessing beaches and other local recreation amenities, a pathway used by pedestrians and cyclists. PCH is a California State Highway (State Route 1) that is managed and maintained by the California Department of Transportation (“Caltrans”) with a posted speed limit ranging between 45- 55 miles per hour in the City. Excessive speeding, reckless driving, unsafe U-turns, and City Council Meeting

distracted driving caused by cell phone use and other distractions have resulted in increased collisions with other motorists, cyclists and pedestrians on PCH that have resulted in injury and death.
According to data from the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System obtained through UC Berkley’s Transportation Injury mapping system, between 2018 and 2022, there were 22 deadly crashes on PCH in the City, resulting in the death of 23 people. Data from the California Highway Patrol indicates that there have been 49 fatalities along PCH in Malibu from 2012-22. And finally, the Los Angeles Times has reported that there have been 170 combined deaths and serious injuries to drivers, passengers, cyclists, and pedestrians between 2011 and 2023 along PCH in the City. Further, countless other close calls or near misses from the danger posed by the conduct on PCH are impossible to quantify. Most recently, a crash occurred on PCH resulting in the tragic and unnecessary loss of four Pepperdine University students who were walking along PCH. According to authorities, the driver of the car was allegedly traveling at a speed in excess of 100 miles per hour when his vehicle lost control, sideswiped at least three parked cars, and then crashed into a group of people including the four Pepperdine University students and two others.
These statistics and the most recent tragedy are all consistent with the day-to-day experience of City residents, visitors, officials, and staff. PCH has become increasingly dangerous to residents and visitors due to the common occurrence of drivers speeding, driving recklessly, or driving while distracted. Residents and visitors are now forced to weigh and modify their use of PCH depending on the time of day and other factors (e.g., weather, weekend vs. weekday, existing traffic conditions, etc.) because of the danger posed. Despite efforts by the City and other governmental agencies to improve the safety of PCH, the point has been reached that the risk is just too great. The status quo is no longer acceptable, and action must be taken to mitigate this local emergency.
PCH is a State Highway managed and controlled by Caltrans. Sections 83 and 90 of the Street and Highways Code state that Caltrans has jurisdiction, possession, control and responsibility for the maintenance of State Highways. Further sections of the Streets and Highways Code make clear that Caltrans is the entity with decision-making power over PCH in the City, including improvements, safety elements and speed limits. Further, Streets and Highway Code section 124 states that it is Caltrans, not the City, that can restrict the use of, or close, a State Highway for the protection of the public. Law enforcement agencies such as the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) and the California Highway Patrol have enforcement jurisdiction over PCH for Vehicle Code violations and other code violations.
Safety on PCH is a problem that the City cannot address and fix alone. It and will need to work with Caltrans to make changes to PCH itself. Given its enforcement jurisdiction over PCH, the City can also work through the LASD to address vehicle code violations and related enforcement action. To effectively effect change, the City must coordinate and 2

work together with its other governmental partners to implement strategies and solutions to reduce the danger on PCH for all users.
California Government Code Section 8630 empowers the City Council to proclaim the existence of a Local Emergency when there is extreme peril to the safety of persons and property within the territorial limits of the City. Additionally, California Government Code section 8634 empowers the City Council to promulgate orders and regulations necessary to provide for the protection of life and property during the time of a Local Emergency.
These statutes codify the constitutional “police powers” of local governments to adopt local legislation designed to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the community. Further, the City’s Municipal Code (Chapter 2.52) establishes the City’s disaster council and policies and procedures for dealing with a local emergency. The City’s purchasing ordinance (Chapter 2.56) allows for greater flexibility when making purchases for supplies or services in response to a local emergency. Thus, a declaration of local emergency provides the City greater flexibility to act expediently when trying to address and mitigate the danger posed by the local emergency. It may also aid in coordination with other governmental entities and allow the City access to other resources.
Government Code Section 8630 requires that the City Council review the need for continuing a local emergency at least once every 60 days until the City Council terminates the local emergency.
As such, City staff recommend adopting Resolution No. 25-19 extending the declaration of the existence of a local emergency. If adopted, the City Council will review, and as needed renew, this action at least every 60 days.

AGENCIES TO INCREASE ATTENTION AND CREATE PROGRAMS TO
REDUCE THE RISK AND DANGER ASSOCIATED WITH PACIFIC COAST
HIGHWAY IN THE CITY
The City Council of the City of Malibu does hereby find, order, and resolve as follows:
SECTION 1. Recitals.
A. Condition or threatened conditions of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property have arisen within the City of Malibu caused by the increase in reckless and illegal driving on Pacific Coast Highway (“PCH”) in the City. This reckless and illegal driving has led to increased collisions with other motorists, cyclists and pedestrians, resulting in injury and death.
B. According to data from the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System obtained through UC Berkley’s Transportation Injury mapping System, between 2018 and 2022 there were 22 deadly crashes on PCH in the City, resulting in the death of 23 people. According to data from the California Highway Patrol, there have been 49 fatalities along PCH through Malibu from 2012-22. According to the Los Angeles Times there have been 170 deaths and serious injuries to drivers, passengers, cyclists and pedestrians between 2011 and 2023.
C. On October 17, 2023, a crash occurred in the 21500 block of PCH resulting in the tragic loss of four Pepperdine University Students who were walking along the road. According to authorities, the driver of the car was traveling at a speed in excess of 100 miles per hour when he lost control, sideswiped at least three parked cars and then crashed into a group of people including the four Pepperdine University Students and two others.
D. PCH is a California State Highway managed and maintained by the California Department of Transportation (“Caltrans”). The posted speed limit along PCH in the City ranges between 45-55 miles per hour.
E. PCH is the City’s main thoroughfare and serves as a commuting route, a residential street and business corridor in the City.
F. City officials, City staff and City residents are tragically aware that PCH has become increasingly dangerous to residents, visitors and commuters, with drivers regularly exceeding the posted speed limits or driving recklessly or distracted which 4 Attachment 1
Resolution No. 25-19
_____________________
has resulted in not only the killing and maiming of pedestrians, cyclists and other motorists, but a collective fear and trauma about the risks posed by accessing PCH.
G. Despite efforts by the City and other governmental agencies to improve the safety of PCH, PCH continues to pose a threat to those who drive, walk and/or cycle along it. Serious and dangerous collisions continue to occur too regularly, with four additional fatalities since November 2023.
H. California Government Code Section 8630 empowers the City Council to proclaim the existence of a Local Emergency when there is extreme peril to the safety of persons and property within the territorial limits of the City. Additionally, California Government Code Section 8634 empowers the City Council to promulgate orders and regulations necessary to provide for the protection of life and property during the time of a Local Emergency. These statutes codify the constitutional “police powers” of local governments to adopt local legislation designed to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the community.
SECTION 2. It is hereby proclaimed that:
A. The above recitals are true and correct.
B. The increase in dangerous, illegal, reckless and/or distracted driving on PCH in the City currently poses extreme peril to persons and property in Malibu. As such, the City Council finds that the declaration of local emergency remains valid and necessary, and will remain in effect until the extreme danger has subsided.
C. To reduce and prevent the risks associated with dangers posed on PCH, City staff are directed to coordinate with Caltrans, the Los Angeles County Sheriff, the California Highway Patrol, and other entities and government agencies to implement programs, increase enforcement of existing laws and/or develop solutions to reduce the danger on PCH to pedestrians, cyclists and other motorists from dangerous, illegal, reckless and/or distracted driving on PCH.
D. The City Director of Emergency Services, or designee, is directed and authorized to address any and all impacts and conditions caused by the emergency and to obtain any and all aid and assistance from local, county, state, or federal agencies, including but not limited to aid and assistance pursuant to the California Disaster Assistance Act, California Government Code Section 8690 et. seq.
E. The City Manager, as the Purchasing Officer of the City pursuant to Malibu Municipal Code Section 2.56.040 (B) is authorized to make purchases of supplies or services exceeding twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000.00) in compliance with Malibu Municipal Code, Chapter 2.56.

Date prepared: May 5, 2025 Meeting date: May 21, 2025
Subject: Assembly Bill (AB) 768 Mobilehome parks: rent protections: local rent control. - OPPOSE
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Authorize the Mayor to send a letter of opposition to Assembly Bill 768 (Farias) which would tighten rent control regulations for mobile home parks.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action.
STRATEGIC PRIORITY: This item is part of the day-to-day operations identified in the Adopted FY 2024-25 Strategic Priority Project List.
DISCUSSION: AB 768 changes how rent control applies in mobile home parks. The approximately 550 mobile homes within the City of Malibu are the most significant source of affordable housing. To ensure that mobile homes continue to provide affordable housing, the City has adopted mobile home park rent control regulations (Malibu Municipal Code Chapter 5.16).
Under current state law, some mobile home rentals are exempt from local rent control if the home isn’t the owner’s main residence and isn’t being rented out. AB 768 tightens that rule - exemptions would only apply if the space were not the owner's only or primary home.
It also requires park managers to notify homeowners before raising rent based on government records about residency. Finally, it limits rent control exemptions to mobile homes that are actively for sale. Therefore, staff recommends endorsement of the letter of opposition to AB 768.

RE: City of Malibu Opposition for AB 768 (Farias)
Honorable Assemblymember Haney and Members of the Assembly Committee on Housing and Community Development,
On behalf of the City of Malibu, I write in opposition of AB 768, introduced by Assemblymember Farias.
Under current state law, some mobile home rentals are exempt from local rent control if the home isn’t the owner’s main residence and isn’t being rented out. AB 768 tightens that rule - exemptions would only apply if the space were not the owner's only or primary home. It also requires park managers to notify homeowners before raising rent based on government records about residency. Finally, it limits rent control exemptions to mobile homes that are actively for sale.
The City of Malibu is concerned about the negative impacts this legislation will have on local mobilehome parks and we urge the Legislature to oppose AB 768.
Thank you for your leadership.
Sincerely,
Marianne Riggins, Mayor
City of Malibu

Date of Hearing: April 30, 2025
ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE ON HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Matt Haney, Chair
AB 768 (Ávila Farías) – As Introduced February 18, 2025 SUBJECT: Mobilehome parks: rent protections: local rent control SUMMARY: Limits the application of local rent control to mobilehome spaces that are not the only or principal residence of a homeowner, and deletes a presumption that a mobilehome is a homeowner’s principal residence if they receive a homeowner’s tax exemption for that mobilehome, among other changes. Specifically, this bill:
1) Exempts a mobilehome space within a mobilehome park from any ordinance, rule, regulation, or initiative measure adopted by any local jurisdiction which establishes a maximum amount that the landlord may charge a tenant from rent (“local rent control”), if the mobilehome space is not the only or principal residence of a homeowner. 2) Deletes a provision allowing a mobilehome space to remain subject to local rent control if the space is not the principal residence of the homeowner and the homeowner has rented the mobilehome to another party.
3) Deletes a provision requiring a mobilehome to be deemed to be the principal residence of a homeowner unless a review of state or county records demonstrates that the homeowner is receiving a homeowner’s tax exemption for another property or mobilehome in this state, or unless a review of public records reasonably demonstrates that the principal residence of the homeowner is out of state.
4) Requires mobilehome park management, before modifying the rent or other terms of a tenancy as a result of learning through a review of state or county records that the mobilehome space is not the only or principal residence of a homeowner, to notify the homeowner in writing of the proposed changes and provide the homeowner with a copy of the documents upon which management relied.
5) Deletes a provision allowing a mobilehome space to remain subject to local rent control if the homeowner is unable to rent or lease the mobilehome because the owner or management of the park does not permit, or the rental agreement limits or prohibits, the assignment of the mobilehome or the subletting of the park space.
6) Deletes a provision allowing a mobilehome space to remain subject to local rent control if the legal owner has taken possession or ownership, or both, of the mobilehome from a registered owner through either a surrender of ownership interest by the registered owner or a foreclosure proceeding.
EXISTING LAW:
1) Permits local governments to restrict the amount by which residential rents may be increased, including the rent charged by a mobilehome park for occupancy by a mobilehome unit. (Birkenfeld v. Berkeley (1976) 17 Cal.3d 129, 165.) Attachment 2
3 AB 768
2) Regulates, pursuant to the Mobilehome Residency Law (MRL), the rights, responsibilities, obligations, and relationships between mobilehome park management and park residents. (Civil Code (CIV) Section 798, et seq.)
3) Exempts mobilehomes from local rent control if the mobilehome is not the principal residence of the homeowner and the homeowner has not rented the mobilehome to another party. (CIV 798.21(a))
4) Deems a mobilehome to be its owner’s principal residence unless a review of public records demonstrates that the homeowner receives a homeowner’s tax exemption on another property in California or a review of public records reasonably demonstrates that the principal residence of the homeowner is out of state. (CIV 798.21(c)) 5) Requires park management to provide a homeowner 90 days’ notice before modifying the rent or other terms of tenancy for a mobilehome based on a determination that the mobilehome is exempt from local rent control under 3) above. Provides a homeowner 90 days to dispute the management’s finding. (CIV 798.21(c)-(e)) 6) Provides that the exemption from local rent control under 2) above does not apply under any of the following conditions:
a) The homeowner is unable to rent or lease the mobilehome because the owner or management of the mobilehome park in which the mobilehome is located does not permit, or the rental agreement limits or prohibits, the assignment of the mobilehome or the subletting of the park space;
b) The mobilehome is being actively held available for sale by the homeowner, or pursuant to a listing agreement with a real estate broker, as specified, or a mobilehome dealer, as specified. Requires a homeowner, real estate broker, or mobilehome dealer attempting to sell a mobilehome to actively market and advertise the mobilehome for sale in good faith to bona fide purchasers for value in order to remain exempt under this provision; or
c) The legal owner has taken possession or ownership, or both, of the mobilehome from a registered owner through either a surrender of ownership interest by the registered owner or a foreclosure proceeding. (CIV 798.21(f))
FISCAL EFFECT: None.
COMMENTS:
Author’s Statement: According to the author, “AB 768 is about fairness and ensuring that rent control benefits those who need those most— working families, seniors on fixed incomes, and individuals who rely on mobile homes as their primary residence. Across California, especially in high-cost coastal and resort communities, a growing number of rent-controlled mobile home spaces are being occupied by second or vacation homeowners who can afford to live elsewhere.
This undermines the original intent of rent control: to provide affordable housing and housing stability for vulnerable populations.
4 AB 768
By closing this loophole, AB 768 restores integrity to local rent control ordinances and ensures that affordable housing is not misused by individuals with the financial means to maintain multiple properties. This bill helps return rent-controlled units to the people they were designed to serve, supporting California’s broader housing equity and affordability goals.” Background: More than one million people live in California's approximately 4,500 mobilehome parks. Mobilehomes are not truly mobile, in that it is often cost prohibitive to relocate them. The cost to move a mobilehome ranges from thousands to tens of thousands of dollars depending on the size of the home and the distance traveled. A mobilehome owner whose home is located in a mobilehome park does not own the land the unit sits on, and must pay “space rent” and fees for the land and any community spaces. The mobilehome context is different from other rental housing because of this split in ownership between the structure and the land underneath. That split means that mobilehome owners not only risk having to move if rent becomes unaffordable; they also risk losing a major asset – the mobilehome – which may be among the only assets they possess. Moreover, the in-place value of a mobilehome depends largely on the rental rate for the ground underneath it. The higher the rent for the space, the lower the sale value of the mobilehome. In that context, just a small percentage change in the rent may take on heightened significance.
The MRL extensively regulates the relationship between landlords and homeowners who occupy a mobilehome park. A limited number of provisions also apply to residents who rent, as opposed to own, their mobilehome. The MRL has two parts: Articles 1 through 8 apply to most mobilehome parks and Article 9 applies to resident-owned parks or parks which are established as a subdivision, cooperative or condominium. The provisions cover many issues, including, but not limited to: 1) the rental and lease contract terms and specific conditions of receipt and delivery of written leases, park rules and regulations, and other mandatory notices; 2) mandatory notice and amendment procedures for mobilehome park rules and regulations; 3) mandatory notice of fees and charges, and increases or changes in them; and 4) specified conditions governing mobilehome park evictions. A dispute that arises pursuant to the application of the MRL generally must be resolved in a civil court of competent jurisdiction.
Removing Mobilehomes from Local Rent Control: Over 100 jurisdictions in California have enacted some form of rent control applicable to mobilehome parks. Those rent control ordinances are a proper exercise of the local government’s police power if their provisions are “reasonably calculated to eliminate excessive rents and at the same time provide landlords with a just and reasonable return on their property.” (Birkenfeld v. Berkeley (1976) 17 Cal.3d 129, 165.) Although mobilehome parks are not subject to the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act, which restricts the use of rent control in other residential properties, the MRL itself imposes limitations on the application of rent control to mobilehome parks, and some park rentals not owned by a homeowner are also subject to the Tenant Protection Act of 2019.
Under existing law, local rent control ordinances governing space rent increases only apply to mobilehomes that are the principal residence of the owner or mobilehomes that the owner has rented to another party. This bill would eliminate local rent control for mobilehome owners who rent out their mobilehomes to others, as well as for mobilehome owners who own more than one residence (mobilehome or otherwise), regardless of whether that mobilehome is claimed as their principal residence. This bill would also delete the existing presumption that a mobilehome is a person’s principal residence if they are claiming the homeowner’s tax exemption on that 5 AB 768
mobilehome, and instead would provide that park management may claim the mobilehome is not the person’s only or principal residence by a review of “state or county records.” Policy Considerations: This bill, like a handful of others before it, open up a policy debate around what individuals “deserve” the benefits of local rent control. The bill’s author and sponsor discuss the likelihood or potential that people who own a mobilehome and another residence are using one of the properties as a second home or vacation home; however, the committee may wish to consider that the language in the bill may capture other scenarios not related to vacation homes. By modifying the existing exemption to specify that the mobilehome has to be the homeowner’s only residence, rather than just their principal residence, the bill could create a situation where the homeowner’s residence could be removed from local rent control if, for example, they inherited a home from a deceased parent or relative, or if they bought a mobilehome or other residential property intending to have a family member live there.
Similarly, should mobilehome owners who are themselves acting as landlords receive the benefits of rent control if their tenants do not? The committee may wish to consider whether removing rent control from these homes will lead to higher rent for their tenants, as it seems likely that any increase in space rent would ultimately end up being passed along to the tenants rather than borne by the owner.
This bill would also remove the existing presumption that a mobilehome is a person’s principal residence if they are claiming the homeowner’s tax exemption on that mobilehome, and instead would provide that park management may claim the mobilehome is not the person’s only or principal residence based on a review of “state or county records.” The committee may wish to consider there could be circumstances where a person might need to relocate temporarily, like moving in with a friend or relative for a few months or performing seasonal work in a different region or state.
Arguments in Support: According to the Western Manufactured Housing Communities Association (WMA), the bill’s sponsor, “AB 768 encourages a policy that extends rent-control protection to just the people who need it. Rent-controlled mobilehomes should not be used by homeowners with a second home to profit from their rent-control protections – especially in cases where the 2nd or vacation home is used as a short-term or vacation rental on VRBO or Airbnb. AB 768 only affects those homeowners who use these mobilehomes as vacation or second homes, not their sole principal residence. Further, AB 768 maintains all existing laws that permit an owner of a mobilehome to challenge an assertion that the mobilehome is not the individual’s primary residence. All AB 768 does is deny rent-control benefits to people who are wealthy enough to own two homes and who are not the ones rent-control was intended to benefit.”
Arguments in Opposition: According to Bay Federal Credit Union, “Often, a homeowner will be forced to temporarily change where they reside, from their primary permanent residence to a temporary residence, for example, for the reasons of employment or to care for a sick relative or friend. Under Civil Code section 798.21’s current rent control exemption, this would not cause a problem. However, under AB [768], they would lose local rent control on their primary residence, causing them to lose their mobilehome and their investment in it when they cannot afford to pay their new rent. Under AB 768, the only way to avoid this is to sell their primary residence-mobilehome, even when their circumstances will change again and require them to return to it. This will not only be devastating to these mobilehome owners; it makes it impossible 6 AB 768
for Bay Federal and other lending institutions to ensure our mobilehome purchase loans are secure because any homeowner may, at some point, be required to temporarily relocate under the above, or similar, circumstances that are not within their control.” Related Legislation:
SB 722 (Moorlach) of 2017 would have altered the evidentiary requirements and procedures that determine whether or not state law exempts a mobilehome from local rent control, for leases entered into on or after January 1, 2019. This bill failed passage in the Senate Judiciary Committee.
AB 317 (Calderon), Chapter 337, Statutes of 2012: Required mobilehome leases to include a notice regarding exemptions from local rent control.
AB 481 (Ma) of 2009 was substantially similar to AB 285, below. This bill died pending a hearing in this committee.
AB 285 (Garcia) of 2007 would have broadened the evidentiary basis on which a mobilehome park could assert that a mobilehome is not the principal residence of the owner and therefore not covered by rent control. AB 285 would also have eliminated provisions keeping a mobilehome under local rent control when the owner leases the mobilehome to someone else. This bill died pending a hearing in this committee.
AB 1173 (Haynes), Chapter 132, Statutes of 2003: Added an exception to the default rule that a mobilehome shall be deemed the homeowner’s principal residence by specifying that if a review of public records reasonably demonstrates that the homeowner’s principal residence is out of state, the mobilehome is exempt from local rent control.
SB 1181 (Haynes), Chapter 392, Statutes of 1996: Exempted mobilehomes from local rent control if they are not the principal residence of the homeowner and the homeowner has not rented the mobilehome to another party.
Double-referred: This bill was also referred to the Assembly Committee on Judiciary where it will be heard should it pass out of this committee.

Subject: Assembly Bill (AB) 470 Telephone corporations: carriers of last resort. - OPPOSE
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Authorize the Mayor to send a letter of opposition to Assembly Bill 470 (McKinnor) which would allow telecommunications providers to unilaterally abandon their Carrier of Last Resort (COLR) obligations without regulatory oversight.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action.
STRATEGIC PRIORITY: This item is part of the day-to-day operations identified in the Adopted FY 2024-25 Strategic Priority Project List.
DISCUSSION: The City of Malibu opposes Assembly Bill (AB) 470, which would allow telecommunications providers to unilaterally abandon their Carrier of Last Resort (COLR) obligations without regulatory oversight. The bill permits providers to self-designate areas as “well-served” and submit a notice to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to exit their service responsibilities—without a meaningful challenge process or assurance of continued service beyond two years.
This lack of oversight threatens public safety, particularly in disaster-prone areas like Malibu, where copper landlines remain a critical communication lifeline during wildfires and power outages. The bill also fails to establish a transition framework to ensure reliable replacement services and weakens CPUC’s role in protecting consumer access and affordability.

RE: City of Malibu Opposition for AB 470 – As Amended April 22, 2025 Dear Assemblymember McKinnor,
On behalf of the City of Malibu, we are writing to respectfully oppose Assembly Bill (AB) 470, which would allow a Carrier of Last Resort (COLR) provider to abandon essential responsibilities and phase out reliable access to basic telephone service - particularly for rural and high-risk areas. Rather than establishing a responsible transition plan, AB 470 adds regulatory complexity while shielding telephone corporations from accountability for providing essential utility services.
AB 470 automatically relieves any provider of its COLR obligations upon the submission of a notice to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), allowing companies to self-determine that a particular area is “well-served” by alternative voice services. This process requires no oversight or approval from the CPUC and relies on using confidential, undisclosed data—effectively eliminating public oversight. This amended COLR status is based on the company’s own analysis and becomes effective in as little as 30 days, granting for-profit monopolies financial incentives to make self-interested claims while withholding critical data from public scrutiny.
While AB 470 includes a customer challenge process, it is administered and paid for by the telephone corporation and applies only to individual objections—not community-level impacts. Even if a customer successfully demonstrates that no alternative voice service is available, the provider is only required to offer an alternative service (not retain the existing service), and only for 24 months, if “technically feasible.” After that, there is no guarantee of continued service, and no COLR protections remain.
AB 470 also includes a time-limited statewide fiber buildout only equivalent to the number of customers abandoned but permits this to occur anywhere in the state and not in areas losing service or currently underserved with quality, competitive option rendering it largely symbolic. More concerning, the bill prohibits CPUC oversight of the alternative services replacing COLR telephone service, even for reliability or public safety standards.
The CPUC’s core function is to protect consumers by ensuring the provision of safe, reliable utilities and infrastructure at reasonable rates. AB 470 undermines that role by removing the Commission’s authority over the alternative services intended to replace COLR protections, even in cases where those services fail to meet basic standards for affordability, reliability, or emergency access. The bill effectively shifts the burden of service quality to the customer—particularly troubling in high-risk or underserved areas.
We support the transition to modern telecommunications infrastructure, but AB 470 fails to provide a meaningful, enforceable path to ensure continued service for all Californians. The CPUC is already conducting a transparent process to modernize COLR rules—this bill circumvents that work and prioritizes company convenience over consumer protection.
For these reasons, the City of Malibu opposes AB 470. Thank you for your leadership.
Sincerely,

6) Requires a telephone corporation that seeks to amend its status as a carrier of last resort to first publish its notice of intention one time in the nonlegal section of a newspaper of general circulation throughout the relevant areas and on any social media channels the company utilizes for marketing in those areas, as specified.
7) Establishes a process for a residential consumer that may oppose an assertion by a telephone corporation that there is no population or no customer in area, or that an area is well-served, as specified. The process includes independent third-party review of the claim by a thirdparty selected by the CPUC and paid for by the telephone corporation. 8) Establishes specific requirements for a telephone corporation that seeks to amend its status as a carrier of last resort in an area with no population or where the corporation provides no basic exchange service to any customer. The requirements include a notice to specified entities.
9) Establishes that amended status as a carrier of last resort in an area with no population or where the corporation provides no basic exchange service to any customer shall be effective 30 days from the date of the notice.
10) Requires a telephone corporation that seeks to amend its status as a carrier of last resort in well-served areas shall commit to certain obligations, as specified, and provide notice to customers in that area, as specified.
11) Establishes that a telephone corporation’s amended status as a carrier of last resort shall be effective 30 days from the final customer notice or 30 days from the date of the commitment letter, whichever is later.
12) Provides that a customer in a well-served area has certain rights to choose an alternative voice service provider, or remain on their basic exchange service for a period of 12 months. 13) Establishes an obligation, for a period of 10 years, for a telephone corporations that has received amended status to provide alternative voice service to any residential consumer that is unable to obtain alternative voice service for another provider, as specified. 14) Establishes that this bill does not confer regulatory authority to the commission over alternative voice services.
15) Requires the CPUC, as part of an existing proceeding, to determine a transition plan that shall be followed for areas that are not well-served or have no population or no customers. 16) Establishes the The Public Safety Agency Technology Upgrade Grant fund, subject to continuous appropriation without regard to fiscal year.

COMMENTS:
1) Intent of bill. The intent of this bill is to encourage the deployment of advanced telecommunications capability, such as high-speed broadband, by establishing a process for regulatory forbearance of legal obligations on telephone corporations that are designated as a carriers of last resort. In doing so, the author intent is to promote competition in the market and encourage infrastructure investment, while balancing those benefits with ensuring continued universal access to telecommunications service. According to the author: “AB 470 will incentivize investment in more advanced and affordable communications for all Californians. Modern network services are more innovative, reliable, fast and generally meet the twenty-first-century needs of Californians. In addition to superior services and reliability, the cost of VoIP and wireless services have been steadily decreasing for the past two decades, while during the same period, copper landline services have drastically increased in cost. With affordable modern internet-based and wireless-based phone services, consumers benefit from greater affordability and additional features that will keep all Californians connected to each other and people around the world.”
2) What is a Carrier of Last Resort (COLR)? Under state and federal laws, an entity that owns, operates, or manages a telephone line for compensation is a public utility, specifically a telephone corporation. A carrier of last resort (COLR) is a designated telephone corporation that has a legal obligation to provide access to basic telephone service to any household in its service territory who requests it. In a competitive market environment that exists across much of the state today, where consumers have multiple options to meet their voice communications needs, the COLR is literally the last-resort if no other carrier is willing or able to offer service. Across the state, every census block has a specified carrier that is designated as the COLR by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), even in areas where there may be multiple providers offering telephone service. In areas where there are multiple providers in the market, it is typically only one carrier that is designated to hold the legal obligations of the COLR. The legal obligations placed on a COLR have been a tenant of universal service for decades, to ensure that everyone has guaranteed access to safe, reliable, and affordable telephone service. According to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), there are 16 COLR-designated companies across California with distinct service territories. AT&T is the designated COLR in many parts of the State and is the largest COLR in California; Frontier is the second largest COLR in the State.
For much of the 20th century a single company, the American Telephone & Telegraph (now AT&T), owned and operated essentially all of the telephone infrastructure in the country as a regulated monopoly granted by government. Along with that market power, utility regulatory bodies such as the CPUC were vested with the authority to regulate the rates of telephone service to ensure just and reasonable prices for customers, control against unreasonable profits, and enforce the obligations to serve all customers in a discriminatory manner. In that 9 AB 470
market context, it was clearly not unreasonable to require that the only telephone carrier available in the marketplace would be expected to serve all the households in its service territory, rural and urban, as a carrier of last resort. However, this scheme began to change in the 1980’s with the introduction of competition into the telephone market. In 1982, the United State Department of Justice succeeded in its antitrust litigation against AT&T, resulting in a breakup of the company into smaller regional entities. The breakup of AT&T also paved the way for further innovation of telecommunications and other competitors to enter the telephone services market. For example, mobile telephone service first began to become commercially available in the 1980s. Subsequently, Congress passed the Telecommunications Act of 1996, which further incentivized competition in telecommunications service market as a means to reduce prices, and increase quality and innovation. Despite the proliferation of competition in the telecommunications marketplace over decades, COLR requirements have remained as a means to ensure there is a guaranteed provider of basic telephone service regardless of the status of the market. The perspective of this bill is that such COLR requirements are no longer required, and may actually hinder further investment and competition in the market. Accordingly, this bill proposes a process for automatically forbearing telephone corporations of their COLR obligations in some areas that meet the criteria established by this bill.
3) In some areas consumer preferences have shifted beyond landline voice communications.
Just as the preferred type of telecommunications technologies transitioned at the turn of the 20th century from telegraph to telephone, consumers today are once again increasingly transitioning towards more modern telecommunications services such as mobile telephone and broadband internet service when those options are available. For example, consider several data points from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) National Center of Health Statistics, which has measured the availability of telephone service in households for decades. In 1999 the CDC estimated that about 95% of California households had a household telephone, while in 2007 nationwide figures showed that only about 16% of households relied on wireless phone service only. Data from 2023 show that 76% of adults lived in households that did not have landline telephone but did have at least one wireless telephone, a stark difference since the late 90s and early 2000s. Beyond telephone service, data from the California Statewide Digital Equity Survey published in 2023 show that 91% of households also subscribe to high-speed internet access at home. In summary, most consumers today have more options for telecommunications service, from more providers utilizing different types of technologies, than ever before. The perspective of this bill is that, because of competition, the regulatory requirements for one company to hold the entire legal obligation to serve an area is no longer necessary and is a barrier to investment and competition. However, the public benefits of competition have not been realized equally across the state.
Whereas in the monopoly era, it was essentially one company that had an obligation to provide telephone service to households as the COLR and only carrier; today’s market is different. There is no carrier of last resort for mobile telephone service or broadband internet access. In fact, under state or federal law broadband internet service providers are not a public utilities or common carriers at all. Even mobile telephone providers, although they are common carriers, are not subject to the same requirements as a COLR. Unlike the monopoly era, regulators are not empowered to require a mobile telephone or broadband internet 10 AB 470
provider to expand their network to unserved households or meet baseline quality of service requirements1. As a result, in areas where there is little market incentive for providers to enter, households remain unserved and underserved by more advanced telecommunications technologies or wireless reception can be spotty. The areas of the state which have not benefited from competition in the market generally are disproportionately rural and lowerincome, and may never be served by advanced technologies regardless of COLR or without government intervention. The dichotomy, between well-served areas with robust competition for telecommunications services, and less well-served areas where the market is not meeting consumers’ needs for advanced communications services like broadband internet access illustrates a bright line. This bill is drafted in a manner that attempts to respect that bright lines, by establishing a process for relinquishment only in those areas that are well-served and in areas where there is no population or no customers. Areas that do not fall into those categories would be subject to a process that would be established by the commission at a date in the future.
4) Are COLR regulations technology-neutral? The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has asserted that its COLR rules are technology neutral, thus inferring that existing carriers of last resort may meet their COLR obligations through any technology. Taken a step further, this assertion implies that a COLR is not required to maintain a copper network, as is claimed by supporters. This is all technically an accurate statement, but in practice the answer is more complicated.
Under CPUC regulations, a COLR is required to offer what is referred to as “basic service” to any customer that requests it. Basic service must include several elements that are determined by the commission including: the ability to place and receive voice-grade calls over all distances, free access to 911 and enhanced-911 service, access to directory services, specified billing provisions, access to 800 and 8YY toll-free services, access to telephone relay services for disabled users, access to customer service information about Lifeline, onetime bill adjustments for certain charges, and access to operator services. Many of these element are clearly necessary and basic services for consumers, while some may be more outdated or unnecessary given today’s consumer preferences and practices. Importantly to an evaluation of whether current COLR rules are technology neutral, it is absolutely possible to meet those basic service requirements through other technologies like wireless or fiber, and basic service does not require a copper connection.
However, in addition to these basic service elements, a basic service provider is also required to file and maintain tariffs, or schedules of rates, with the commission that include basic service rates, charges, terms and conditions. The tariffs are required to be filed through a Tier 2 advice letter that is subject to review and approval by CPUC staff. Herein lies the complication when evaluating whether the CPUC’s COLR rules are actually technologyneutral in practice. While it is true that a carrier of last resort could meet its COLR obligation through any technology, if it were to meet those obligations through alternatives technologies beyond copper (such as broadband) it would be subjecting those otherwise non-tariffed services to CPUC tariffing requirements. In effect then, the COLR’s alternative services 1 In April 2025 the CPUC issued a proposed decision to implement service quality standards on wireline Voice over Internet-Protocol (VoIP) and mobile voice communications. 11 AB 470
would necessarily be regulated differently than their competitors merely because their status as a COLR. Therefore, in practice the CPUC’s COLR requirements are not as neutral in practice as may have been represented.
5) The bill does not grant blanket COLR relinquishment across the state. Many of the organizations opposed to this bill have expressed concerns about the impact of this bill for all Californians, and especially those in rural communities or where reliable access to telephone service has not been consistently available except through the carrier of last resort. Certainly those areas are worthy of special consideration, and this bill does distinguish among various areas of the state. In general, this bill’s provisions apply to three separate buckets, or groups, of areas: well-served areas, areas with no population or where the telephone corporation has no customers on basic exchange service, and what will be referred to as “other” areas.
This bill only proposes to establish a specific process for relinquishment of COLR obligations in the first two buckets, which are those areas that are well-served or where there are no population or no customers. Well-served areas, as defined by this bill, are areas where there are at least three other alternative voice service providers, at least one of which must be a wireline provider. In well-served areas, the public benefits from various choices of providers and many have willingly chosen to subscribe to services from carriers that are not carriers of last resort. Still, it is undeniable that relinquishing the obligation of a carrier of last resort to serve all customers poses an inherent risk to the public’s universal access to telephone service. Nonetheless, short of a market collapse, it is likely that residents of wellserved areas will continue to have access to reliable voice communication services even despite relinquishment of COLR. This is evidenced by the fact that most consumers in wellserved areas purchase services other than COLR basic service, such as broadband, VoIP, or mobile wireless telephone service. Additionally, in recent history large providers have rarely gone out of business, although there has been market consolidation. Notably, the CPUC is required to approve mergers of telecommunications providers and this bill does not change that.
Beyond well-served areas, this bill establishes procedures for amended status in no population or no customer areas. In these areas, there is obviously a smaller risk for public impact because of the nature of those areas having no population. However, to the extent that those areas may be developed in the future, there is a risk that no provider would be willing to serve new developments. Again, here the actual risk of a stranded customer is unlikely because a local government would have to approve new development and likely would know the area is not covered by COLR before doing so. Even so, for a period of 10 years, this bill would require a telephone corporation that has been granted amended status as carrier of last resort to be required to offer alternative voice service if there are truly no other providers.
For the other areas, which are necessarily not well served by alternative providers, this bill proposes that the CPUC should determine a transition plan that shall be followed before a telephone corporation may amend its status as a carrier of last resort in those areas. Lastly, this bill also exempts some specific areas and facilities from this bill, including Catalina Island.
6) This bill imposes obligations on a telephone corporation seeking amended status. As was established in the previous section, there is an inherent risk in this bill to the public’s 12 AB 470
continued universal access to telephone service. However, that risk is not guaranteed to be realized, and this bill includes guardrails. Further, those risks ought to be considered alongside the potential public benefits that this bill may enable. For example, in order to receive an amended status as a carrier of last resort, a telephone corporation must make various commitments through a commitment letter. The commitments include demonstrating that it has made accessible its advanced fiber optics buildout to a minimum number of residential units and year-over-year increase in fiber buildout. Other commitment include offering an affordable broadband plan, benefits for small business customers, funding for public safety technology upgrades, funding for community-based digital literacy resources, and workforce development. This bill would also establish the Public Safety Agency Technology Upgrade Grant program, to be administered by the CPUC and funded by donations. While this bill does require the commitment letter is signed by an offer of the corporation, the committee may wish to ensure that the commitments are enforceable through remedies sought by the CPUC.
7) Changes to COLR would likely impact the availability of Lifeline telephone service. As has been established, the concept of a COLR exists to ensure universal access to telephone service consistent with federal and state law. While the most obvious element of universal access is merely ensuring that an individual is capable of utilizing the telephone network for their communications needs, another element is ensuring affordable access. Without a guarantee of affordable access, universal access cannot be achieved because cost would otherwise be a barrier to low-income residents. Thus, in order to advance the public policy goal of universal access to telephone service, COLR regulations require a carrier of last resort to participate in the Lifeline program. The Lifeline program offers subsidies to eligible low-income households to assist with affording the cost of basic telephone service.
Historically, Lifeline service had been provided through landline telephones, but as technology advanced the program has also supported access to mobile telephone. In fact, based on today’s enrollment there are about 1.4 million Lifeline participants in the state, with only about 133,000 of those utilizing the benefit for wireline service.
While the wireline population of Lifeline participants may be small, this bill would likely have a direct impact on their service. Particularly, if a carrier of resort is granted amended status as proposed by this bill, a low-income consumer may lose access to their only wireline Lifeline option. Conceivably some of these wireline participants could migrate to wireless Lifeline service, but it would be a forced transition. Further, this bill’s definition of wellserved does not ensure there is a wireless Lifeline option available. The committee may wish to consider amendments to ensure the public in well-served areas maintain access to Lifeline. 8) The bill would grant automatic COLR relinquishment with little oversight. While this bill does establish a public notification process that must be followed in order for a telephone corporation to gain relinquishment of their COLR obligations, the legal relief is otherwise automatic. For example, in areas where there is no population or a telephone corporation has no basic exchange service customers, a telephone corporation would automatically be granted relief after sending a notice to specified entities. Those entities - which include the Governor, the Legislature, local elected officials, and the commission - are not provided with any authority to question the accuracy of the notice. In effect, the public or regulators would have little or no legal basis to pause or deny relinquishment even if there are irregularities or 13 AB 470
disputes as to whether an area is eligible for amended status under this bill. The potential impact of this section poses a stark risk to the public. To minimize potential negative risks to the public, the committee may wish to amend this bill to provide a role to the CPUC in administering the approval of requests for relinquishment of COLR obligations, with sufficient guardrails to ensure timely and efficient processing of those requests. 9) Could the CPUC designate a new COLR for areas that have been granted amended status? Under the California Constitution and the Public Utilities Code, the CPUC has broad authority over telephone corporations and the authority to establish its own procedures to regulate those entities. Generally speaking and consistent with the law, the CPUC has near plenary power to impose certain requirements on telephone corporations, unless otherwise prohibited by law. While this bill is intended to establish a process to effectuate the relinquishment of COLR obligations in some targeted areas, there is concern among nonCOLR telephone corporations that the CPUC may still seek to reassign COLR obligations to other entities. While little legal basis has been provided to support the claim, it is not a farfetched concern that the CPUC would utilize the full extent of its other constitutional and statutory authority to attempt to unilaterally designate a new COLR in amended status areas.
Nonetheless, addressing this concern at this stage may be premature given the lack of further legal analysis. Moving forward, the author may wish to consider whether placing constraints on the CPUC’s ability to take such an action ought to be limited or prohibited. 10) Similar/related legislation.

STRATEGIC PRIORITY: This item is part of the day-to-day operations identified in the Adopted FY 2024-25 Strategic Priority Project List.
DISCUSSION: On April 9, 2025, Staff contracted with 4Leaf, Inc. for personnel to perform services and tasks as outlined in the Scope of Work.
The professional services are helping to backfill the vacancy of the Assistant Planning Director. The position was previously backfilled by a different professional services firm that is no longer available. The position will be reclassified per the classification study conducted as part of a reorganization of the Community Development Department. The professional services will be terminated at the time when they are no longer needed.
The original agreement was approved under City Manager authority, up to $25,000. The professional services are provided by Daniel J. Hortert, AICP, serving as Interim Assistant Planning Director. His experience and expertise have been a welcome addition to the Planning Department, especially during this period of increased demand due to the State of Emergency. Staff wish to amend the agreement to retain Mr. Hortert until the position is reclassified and filled full-time.

4Leaf, Inc.
the City from all claims and liabilities for compensation to the Consultant for anything done, furnished or relating to the Consultant’s work or services. Acceptance of payment shall be any negotiation of the City’s check or the failure to make a written extra compensation claim within ten (10) calendar days of the receipt of that check. However, approval or payment by the City shall not constitute, nor be deemed, a release of the responsibility and liability of the Consultant, its employees, sub-consultants and agents for the accuracy and competency of the information provided and/or work performed; nor shall such approval or payment be deemed to be an assumption of such responsibility or liability by the City for any defect or error in the work prepared by the Consultant, its employees, sub-consultants and agents.

6.14 Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Failure by a party to insist upon the performance of any of the provisions of this Agreement by the other party, irrespective of the length of time for which such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver of such party's right to demand compliance by such other party in the future.

No express written waiver of a specified default or breach shall affect any other default or breach, or cover any other period of time, other than any default or breach and/or period of time specified. All of the remedies permitted or available to a party under this Agreement, or at law or in equity, shall be cumulative and alternative, and invocation of any such right or remedy shall not constitute a waiver or election of remedies with respect to any other permitted or available right of remedy.
6.15 Mitigation of Damages. In all such situations arising out of this Agreement, the parties shall attempt to avoid and minimize the damages resulting from the conduct of the other party.
6.16 Partial Invalidity. If any provision in this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will nevertheless continue in full force without being impaired or invalidated in any way.
6.17 Attorneys' Fees. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that each will bear his/her or its own costs, expenses and attorneys' fees arising out of and/or connected with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Agreement, and all matters arising out of or connected therewith except that, in the event any action is brought by any party hereto to enforce this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees Docusign Envelope ID: 3302F8DA-B8BD-42F8-A3FA-8537F08B3884 Agreement for Professional Services

OTHER PROVISIONS OR REQUIREMENTS
Proof of Insurance. Consultant shall provide certificates of insurance and required endorsements to City as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein. Insurance certificates and endorsements must be approved by City’s Risk Manager prior to commencement of performance. Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with City for the contract period and any additional length of time required thereafter. City reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, at any time.
Duration of Coverage. Consultant shall procure and maintain for the contract period, and any additional length of time required thereafter, insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property, or financial loss which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the Work hereunder by Consultant, their agents, representatives, employees, or subconsultants.
Primary/Noncontributing. Coverage provided by Consultant shall be primary and any insurance or self-insurance procured or maintained by City shall not be required to contribute with it. The limits of insurance required herein may be satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and non-contributory basis for the benefit of City before the City’s own insurance or self- insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.
City’s Rights of Enforcement. In the event any policy of insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced, City has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary, and any premium paid by City will be promptly reimbursed by Consultant or City will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from Consultant payments. In the alternative, City may cancel this Agreement.
Acceptable Insurers. All insurance policies shall be issued by an insurance company currently authorized by the Insurance Commissioner to transact business of insurance or is on the List of Approved Surplus Line Insurers in the State of California, with an assigned policyholders’ Rating of A- (or higher) and Financial Size Category Class VII (or larger) in accordance with the latest edition of Best’s Key Rating Guide, unless otherwise approved by the City’s Risk Manager.
