support for the formation of a senior task force. She asked for additional information on the process to convert a commercial property for residential use.

He explained that site remediation is required to be completed within nine months.
Councilmember Uhring expressed support for efforts to underground utility lines throughout the City and stated that he was uncertain about the appropriate process for communicating with the California Public Utilities Commission. He suggested the City consider submitting a formal letter to take a position and advocate for full utility undergrounding. He discussed concerns about uninhabited and damaged beachfront properties, noting the environmental and public health hazards posed by the debris and deteriorating structures. He expressed frustration that several property owners had not submitted Right of Entry forms and stated that efforts by Environmental Sustainability Director Bundy to make contact have been met with silence in many cases. He questioned whether any existing laws would allow the City—or agencies such as the Army Corps of Engineers—to intervene without property owner consent.
Interim City Attorney Rusin responded that in order for the City to act unilaterally, a strong legal showing would be required, such as proving the existence of a public nuisance. Additionally, the City would be responsible for the cost of removal unless a funding source were identified. He noted that the Army Corps of Engineers has broader authority than the City and could potentially undertake such work, but action would likely require support from the Governor’s Office.
Deputy City Manager Brown clarified that the City had previously submitted a letter to the Governor, approved at the Special City Council meeting on February 27, requesting that beachfront home cleanups—particularly related to septic systems—be included in Phase II of debris removal. She explained that for the Army Corps of Engineers to take action, the Governor must first direct CalOES (California Office of Emergency Services) to include these efforts as part of the state emergency. She stated staff is actively engaged in seeking resolution and advocating for accelerated cleanup efforts.

Council Agenda Report
To: Mayor Riggins and the Honorable Members of the City Council Prepared by: Kelsey Pettijohn, City Clerk
Approved by: Candace Bond, Interim City Manager
Date prepared: June 11, 2025 Meeting date: June 23, 2025 Subject: Resolution Extending the Declaration of the Existence of a Local Emergency Regarding the Palisades Fire
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution No. 25-34, extending the declaration of the existence of a local emergency in response to the Palisades Fire.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action. The existence of the local emergency will potentially help qualify the City and its residents for reimbursement for certain disaster response expenditures.
STRATEGIC PRIORITY: This item supports the Public Safety and day-to-day operations identified in the Adopted FY 2024-25 Strategic Priority Project List. Responding to disasters is the City’s most immediate and top priority as part of the city's fundamental operations.
DISCUSSION: On January 7, 2025, the Palisades Fire started in or around Pacific Palisades and was driven into City limits by a historic Santa Ana Wind event causing hurricane-strength winds in neighboring areas and the City. The strong Santa Ana Winds have created difficulties mitigating the fire and impaired the ability of airborne fire-fighting.
The fire combined with high winds and power outages created conditions of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property
On January 14, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 25-01, confirming the existence of a local emergency and ratifying the Proclamation of Existence of a Local Emergency.
On May 23, 2025, Pacific Coast Highway was opened to the public, and the California National Guard demobilized, leaving fire-impacted neighborhoods vulnerable as an influx City Council Meeting

of visitors began entering the city. Areas affected by disasters frequently become targets of criminal activity, including the burglary of uninhabited homes and businesses due to damage and the theft of building materials during the reconstruction process.
To address this vulnerability, the City Council authorized the Interim City Manager to execute a contract with private security to patrol areas of concern to provide a consistent public safety presence and deter criminal activity. Four security patrols are currently deployed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In the first week of their operations, the private security company has responded to more than 400 requests for property checks and investigated 20 suspicious persons. In spite of the increased security, the neighborhood remains very vulnerable, and contractors working in the area have reported stolen tools, copper wiring, and construction equipment.
Debris removal is still in progress and will need to be completed for the over 700 properties that were damaged or destroyed by the fire. The United States Army Corps of Engineers crews are still in the process of removing debris from over 6,000 properties that opted into the government run debris removal process. Private debris removal is also ongoing, and has resulted in incidents of illegal dumping on public property.
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 recommends adopting Resolution No. 25-34 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.

F. On May 23, 2025, Pacific Coast Highway was opened to the public, and the California National Guard demobilized, leaving fire-impacted neighborhoods vulnerable as an influx of visitors began entering the city. Areas affected by disasters frequently become targets of criminal activity, including the burglary of uninhabited homes and businesses due to damage and the theft of building materials during the reconstruction process.
G. To address this vulnerability, the City Council authorized the Interim City Manager to execute a contract with private security to patrol areas of concern to provide a consistent public safety presence and deter criminal activity. Four security patrols are currently deployed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In the first week of their operations, the private security company has responded to more than 400 requests for property checks and investigated 20 suspicious persons.
In spite of the increased security, the neighborhood remains very vulnerable, and contractors working in the area have reported stolen tools, copper wiring, and construction equipment.
H. Debris removal is still in progress and will need to be completed for the over 700 properties that were damaged or destroyed by the fire. The United States Army Corps of Engineers crews are still in the process of removing debris from over 6,000 properties that opted into the government run debris removal process.

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 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 affect change, the City must coordinate and work 2
Agenda Item # 1.B.5.
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. 25-35 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.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
This resolution and the actions taken and/or proposed herein are not a project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) since they are activities that are excluded from the definition of a project by section 21065 of the California Public Resources Code and section 15378(b) of the State CEQA Guidelines. The proposed actions are organizational or administrative activities of government which will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. These actions are also exempt from CEQA as specific actions necessary to prevent or mitigate an emergency pursuant to section 21080(b)(4) and section 15269(c) of the State CEQA Guidelines.

ILLEGAL DRIVING ON PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY AND DIRECTING
STAFF TO COORDINATE EFFORTS WITH OTHER GOVERNMENTAL
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 Resolution No. 25-35
_____________________
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.
5 Resolution No. 25-35
_____________________
F. City staff are directed to report back to the City Council regarding programs and strategies proposed or implemented to mitigate the risk associated with this local emergency.
SECTION 3. The local emergency shall be deemed to continue and exist until its termination is proclaimed by the City Council. As required by law, the City Council shall review the need to continue the state of emergency every 60 days until this resolution is terminated.
SECTION 4. This resolution and the actions taken and/or proposed herein are not a project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) since they are activities that are excluded from the definition of a project by section 21065 of the California Public Resources Code and section 15378(b) of the State CEQA Guidelines.

In the alternative, find that the actions are exempt from CEQA as specific actions necessary to prevent or mitigate an emergency pursuant to section 21080(b)(4) and section 15269(c) of the State CEQA Guidelines.
SECTION 5. The City Clerk shall certify the passage and adoption of this resolution and enter it into the book of original resolutions.

Approved by: Candace Bond, Interim City Manager
Date prepared: June 11, 2025 Meeting date: June 23, 2025 Subject: Resolution Extending the Declaration of the Existence of a Local Emergency Regarding the Franklin Fire
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution No. 25-36, extending the declaration of the existence of a local emergency in response to the Franklin Fire.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action. The existence of the local emergency will potentially help qualify the City and its residents for reimbursement for certain disaster response expenditures.
STRATEGIC PRIORITY: This item supports the Public Safety and day-to-day operations identified in the Adopted FY 2024-25 Strategic Priority Project List. Responding to disasters is the City’s most immediate and top priority as part of the city's fundamental operations.
DISCUSSION: On December 9, 2024, the Franklin Fire started in the Santa Monica Mountains on Malibu Canyon Road, south of Piuma Road. The fire combined with high winds and power outages to create conditions of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property. The Acting Director of Emergency Services (Assistant City Manager) proclaimed the existence of a local emergency on December 10, 2024.
On December 16, 2024, the City Council held a Special Meeting and adopted Resolution No. 24-64, confirming the existence of a local emergency and ratifying the Proclamation of Existence of a Local Emergency.

The fire caused extensive damage to hillsides creating danger of mudslides. Recent rainstorms have already triggered slides, and the heavily saturated hillsides are likely to continue sliding. The fire also destroyed and damaged guardrails in Malibu Canyon, a major thoroughfare in the City. Guardrails will need to be replaced to protect motorists driving on the steep canyon road.
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. 25-36 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.

Agenda Item # 1.B.7.
Council Agenda Report
To: Mayor Riggins and the Honorable Members of the City Council Prepared by: Susan Dueñas, Public Safety Director
Approved by: Candace Bond, Interim City Manager
Date prepared: June 16, 2025 Meeting date: June 23, 2025 Subject: Amendment to Professional Services Agreement with Covered 6 LLC RECOMMENDED ACTION: 1) Receive and file a report on an emergency amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Covered 6 LLC; 2) Authorize bypassing Council Policy #44, Budget Control and Accountability; 3) Appropriate $1,060,800 from the General Fund Undesignated Reserve to 102-3102-5100-00 (Palisades Fire).
FISCAL IMPACT: Funding for these services was not included in the Adopted Budget for FY 2024-25. The expected cost for the term of the Agreement is $1,060,800. This cost will be charged to account 102-3102-5100-00 (Palisades Fire) and included with the City’s application for Disaster Assistance.
STRATEGIC PRIORITY: This item was not included in the Adopted FY 2024-25 Strategic Priority Project List, but this has been prioritized due to the declared emergency.
DISCUSSION: On the morning of January 7, 2025, the Palisades Fire broke out and quickly spread to Malibu, causing widespread damage to neighborhoods in eastern Malibu and along Pacific Coast Highway (PCH). The Acting Director of Emergency Services proclaimed the existence of a local emergency on January 8, 2025, and the proclamation was ratified by the City Council on January 15, 2025.
PCH remained under resident and contractor-only closure from Will Rogers State Beach in Pacific Palisades to Carbon Beach in Malibu until May 23, 2025. Prior to this, the California National Guard’s Military Police Brigade supported the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) at checkpoints within the burn area. However, once the closure was lifted, the California National Guard demobilized, leaving the burn area with decreased law enforcement presence.
City Council Meeting

Agenda Item # 1.B.7.
The opening of PCH to the general public brought an immediate influx of visitors to the City. Unfortunately, areas affected by disasters frequently become targets of criminal activity, including the burglary of uninhabited homes and businesses due to damage and the theft of building materials during the reconstruction process. To address this vulnerability, the City Council, at the May 21, 2025, Regular City Council meeting, directed the Interim City Manager to choose a private security firm to provide armed security for fire-impacted neighborhoods and execute a 30-day contract. Based on information received in a recent Request for Qualifications, the Interim City Manager executed an Agreement with Covered 6 LLC on May 22, 2025.
At the May 21, 2025, Regular City Council meeting, the City Council also indicated that they desired input from the Public Safety Commission and would reevaluate the contract before it ended to decide whether to extend the contract and/or make other changes. The Public Safety Commission received a report on the security contract at their adjourned Regular Meeting on June 5, 2025. At the meeting, Covered 6 LLC provided information about their services and the activity they have seen since starting their patrols. After considering the report on the contract services and suspicious activities in the impacted neighborhoods, the Commission voted to recommend that the City Council extend the contract with Covered 6 LLC for 90 days and review the services in 60 days.
At the June 9, 2025, Regular City Council meeting, the Council received a report on the Public Safety Commission’s recommendation and directed staff to bring back an amendment to extend the private security patrols an additional 90 days and direct the Public Safety Commission to conduct a 60-day review. The current contract was set to end on June 21, 2025, and before the next Regular City Council meeting on June 23, 2025. Therefore, under the authority of the emergency declaration, the Interim City Manager executed an Amendment to the Agreement with Covered 6 LLC. In addition, Council Policy #44, Budget Control and Accountability, requires that all proposed appropriations over $10,000 be reviewed and discussed by the Administrative and Finance (A&F) Subcommittee before being presented to the Council. Due to the urgency and limited time available, staff requests authorization to bypass A&F.

To: Mayor Riggins and the Honorable Members of the City Council Prepared by: Susan Duenas, Public Safety Director
Approved by: Candace Bond, Interim City Manager
Date prepared: June 12, 2025 Meeting date: June 23, 2025 Subject: Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) Grant Agreement RECOMMENDED ACTION: Authorize the Mayor to execute a grant agreement with the State of California Office of Traffic Safety to implement a Traffic and DUI Enforcement Initiative.
FISCAL IMPACT: No additional appropriation is required. Funding for this agreement/project is included in the Adopted Budget for FY 2024-25 in Account No. 100- 7021-5115 (Public Safety, L.A. Co. Sheriff’s Services).
STRATEGIC PRIORITY: This item supports the PCH Safety priority identified in the Adopted FY 2024-25 Strategic Priority Project List.
DISCUSSION: On July 8, 2024, the City received notice that a grant application to implement a “Selective Traffic Enforcement Program” was tentatively approved until a grant agreement was fully negotiated and signed by the Office of Traffic Safety (OTS).
That action was still in process when the City experienced the Broad Fire, then the Franklin Fire, and then the Palisades Fire. Staff have subsequently worked with OTS to complete the grant agreement.
Since seven months have lapsed since the original start of the performance period of the grant, which was October 1, 2024, the performance period is now June 1, 2025, through September 30, 2025. In addition, the originally requested grant amount and activities were reduced to fit into a four-month performance period. The grant will now cover the $87,089 cost of the following activities:

1. PROBLEM STATEMENT
According to the latest Census data, Malibu has a population of 10,370. Within the City of Malibu, the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) travels for approximately 21 miles and contains 19 signalized intersections and has long been a top safety priority for the community. While the City does not control PCH, since its partner agencies to find ways to make PCH safer for residents, motorists, pedestrians and cyclists.
Because of the various land-uses, activity areas, and corridor traffic demands, PCH is congested during peak hours and for peak seasonal uses of the coastline. Vehicle speeds are higher than desirable for safety and resident experience, and traffic crashes have become all too frequent. Due to high traffic volumes and other factors, the roadway experiences a high number of traffic crashes, approximately one per day. The incidents can result in injuries or death and can also cause the roadway to be frequently closed or congested around crash sites.
The Malibu City Council declared a Local Emergency on November 13, 2023, aimed at addressing the risks to public safety of dangerous, illegal, reckless, and/or distracted driving on Pacific Coast Highway in the City.
The action was in response to the increasingly hazardous conditions on PCH in City limits in recent years, which have become a public safety threat for residents, visitors, motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists who use PCH and live, work and recreate on PCH. The PCH safety crisis culminated in the tragic deaths of four Pepperdine students who were struck by a speeding motorist while walking along PCH on October 17. In the nth of November alone, 14 of
the 16 crashes that occurred in Malibu happened on the PCH. As of November 2023, there had been 344 crashes in that year to date, with the most frequent primary crash factor being unsafe speed. Over the past ten years there have been 865 speed related crashes on the PCH. In response to safety concerns, the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) implemented a contract for safety studies along the corridor to identify remedies to reduce the frequency and severity of crashes. According to this study, a total of about 1,000 crashes were reported during the three-year period, with crashes reported along the entire length of PCH through the City. These included 376 injury crashes and 9 fatal crashes.
The target population for this grant includes residents of Malibu, commuters, tourists, and anyone who utilizes the PCH in the specified stretch. These individuals are directly affected by the safety issues, as they face potential risks and hazards while traveling through or residing in the city. The goal is to improve the safety conditions for everyone using this portion of the Pacific Coast Highway.
The impact on this target population is substantial. Unsafe speeds contribute to a higher risk of crashes, posing dangers to drivers, passengers, pedestrians, and cyclists navigating the PCH in Malibu. Commuters passing through the area may face delays, disruptions, and potential hazards. By addressing the problem of unsafe speeds and crashes, the project aims to enhance the safety and well-being of this population, ensuring a safer environment for residents, commuters, and visitors alike.

Reviewed by: Robert DuBoux, Public Works Director/City Engineer Approved by: Candace Bond, Interim City Manager
Date prepared: May 20, 2025 Meeting date: June 23, 2025 Subject: Assessment District 98-2 (Calle Del Barco)
RECOMMENDED ACTION: 1) Conduct the Public Hearing; and 2) Adopt Resolution No. 25-32 levying an assessment for the maintenance, repair and improvements works, systems and facilities of Assessment District 98-2 (Calle Del Barco) for Fiscal Year 2025- 2026.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action. All revenues and expenditures are recorded in Calle Del Barco Landslide Maintenance District Fund 291 (District). The total Fiscal Year 2025-26 budget for this District is $87,381 which is an increase of 3.98% from the previous year’s budget. This year’s budget includes continued operation, maintenance, and capital improvements.
The assessment collected for this District will generate the revenue to offset the operation and maintenance budget, the reserve amount, and delinquencies. The proposed assessment for this District is $94,964.86, which is 10.5% more than last year’s assessments. Assessments in this District can be increased by the Consumer Price Index up to a maximum of 5%.
Each single-family home and condominium/apartment in this District will be assessed depending on their property's location and associated benefits received. The following is a summary of the proposed assessments for this district:

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 administers the Calle Del Barco Landslide Assessment District on behalf of the district's homeowners. The district was originally established by Los Angeles County as County Improvement District Nos. 2608 and 2639 with the purpose of improving the stability of the landslide activated by the heavy winter storms in 1977-1978. As a result of the "El Nino" storms in 1998 and landslide movement, the City Council formed the new Assessment District 98-2 (Calle Del Barco) pursuant to the Municipal Improvement Act of 1913. This district was formed to construct new dewatering and monitoring facilities and take over maintenance of the entire dewatering system, replacing the original Los Angeles County assessment district's maintenance function.
Yeh & Associates, Inc., under contract with the City of Malibu, monitors and maintains the district facilities that include 11 dewatering wells, 11 hydraugers, and numerous slope inclinometers and standpipe piezometers. The dewatering wells and hydraugers lower the groundwater level in the landslide area, improving the stability of the hillside. Readings from the hydraugers are recorded monthly. Discharge volume is recorded from the dewatering wells monthly. Water levels are measured within the inclinometers/standpipe piezometers monthly. Monitoring subsurface land movement is done using the slope inclinometers, drilled into the ground to depths up to 130 ft. The inclinometers are recorded quarterly to annually.
2
Agenda Item # 5.A.
For the upcoming fiscal year, anticipated work budgeted includes recording discharge from dewatering wells and hydraugers, slope inclinometer surveys, crack and ground surface monitoring, groundwater level monitoring, data plotting and analysis, and performing maintenance to dewatering wells, hydraugers, collection piping, and equipment. Proposed capital improvement projects being coordinated for the next year include inclinometer rehabilitation, and equipment upgrades for remote readings.
Both the Annual Assessment District report and the Annual Maintenance District reports are posted on the City's website. In May 2025, a letter will be sent to all property owners in the district advising them of the availability of these reports (Attachment 2).
At a future meeting this coming fiscal year, staff will provide Council with a comprehensive financial analysis of anticipated financial needs of the Calle Del Barco Landslide Maintenance District. This analysis will include future operational costs, capital improvements and management of the District.

F. At the time set for the public hearing, all comments, objections and protests were duly heard and considered.
G. All evidence, both oral and written, relative to the necessity for the proposed assessment was heard and considered.
H. The City Council is now satisfied as to the proposed assessment. 4 Resolution No. 25-32
ATTACHMENT NO. 1
I. The City Council previously designated the City Engineer to perform the duties of the Superintendent of Streets for purposes of the proceedings in connection with the annual levy of assessments for the maintenance and repair or improvement of the Improvements pursuant to Section 10100.8 of the 1913 Act.
SECTION 2. The Annual Assessment Report for Assessment District No. 98-2, City of Malibu, Calle Del Barco, dated June 9, 2025 (Attachment A) is hereby accepted.
SECTION 3. The City Council hereby approves the estimate of expenditures for the maintenance, repair and improvement of the Improvements for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 as shown on Exhibit A of the Annual Assessment Report, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. The City Council hereby determines to levy and collect a special assessment in the amount of the estimate of expenditures contained in Exhibit B of Engineer’s Report, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, such special assessment to provide for the maintenance, repair and improvement of the Improvements for Fiscal Year 2025-2026.
SECTION 4. The apportionment and the method of spread of the special assessment, as shown in Exhibit C of Engineer’s Report, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, are hereby approved and adopted as being a correct and proper apportionment, the assessment having been spread in accordance with benefits to be received.
SECTION 5. The assessments set forth in Exhibit B of Engineer’s Report, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, are hereby confirmed and the City Council hereby determines that the assessments as set forth in Exhibit B shall be levied, collected and enforced at the same time, in the same manner, by the same officers, and with the same interest and penalties as in the case of the assessment levied to pay for the Improvements.
SECTION 6. The City Council hereby finds that, due to the marginal stability of the Calle Del Barco area and the nature of the Calle Del Barco landslide mitigation system and facilities, the approved maintenance, repair and improvement expenses have to be incurred in order to maintain the level of benefit to the assessed parcels. The City Council further finds that the level of benefit derived from the Improvements would otherwise decline more rapidly than usual for other public works of the type involved because of the circumstances which do not ordinarily affect such public works, to wit, geologic instability.
SECTION 7. The City Council hereby finds that notice of the time and place of the public hearing regarding the proposed assessment has been given as required by law.
SECTION 8. A special fund was established to be maintained and administered in accordance with the provisions of Section 10100.8 of the 1913 Act, into which all payments received upon the assessment shall be deposited.
SECTION 9. The officers of the City are hereby authorized and directed to take such actions as may, in the view of such officers, be necessary or appropriate to implement the matters contemplated by this resolution and the other documents and instruments related thereto. 5 Resolution No. 25-32
__________________
ATTACHMENT 1
SECTION 10. The levy of the proposed assessment is for the maintenance, repair or minor alteration of existing facilities to provide landslide mitigation services. Therefore, the City Council hereby finds that the assessment and this Resolution have no significant effect on the environment for the purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"). The assessment and this Resolution are therefore exempt from CEQA pursuant to Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations Section 15061 (b) (3) and Section 15301.
SECTION 11. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this resolution and enter it into the book of original resolutions.
PASSED, APPROVED, and ADOPTED this 23rd day of June 2025. _____________________________

Council Agenda Report
To: Mayor Riggins and the Honorable Members of the City Council Prepared by: Brandie Ayala, Senior Management Analyst
Reviewed by: Rob DuBoux, Public Works Director/City Engineer Approved by: Candace Bond, Interim City Manager
Date prepared: May 20, 2025 Meeting date: June 9, 2025
Subject: Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Wastewater Service Charges RECOMMENDED ACTION: 1) Conduct the Public Hearing to receive public testimony and consider all protest concerning the adoption of the Engineer’s Report regarding the levy of wastewater services fees through property taxes; and 2) Unless there are protests from majority of the effected property owners, adopt Resolution No. 25-34 approving the Engineer’s Report and collection of wastewater services charges on the county tax roll for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26.
FISCAL IMPACT: All operation, maintenance, and management costs associated with the Civic Center Water Treatment Facility (CCWTF) are paid by revenue generated by the wastewater and recycled water service fees. The City is responsible for costs applicable to City-owned properties located within the boundaries of the assessment district and those expenses are included in the annual budget.
The following table illustrates the anticipated expenditures, reserve amount, and total revenue.

Agenda Item # 5.B.
The approved wastewater and recycled water rates will generate sufficient revenue to cover the operation, maintenance, reserves, and management costs.
STRATEGIC PRIORITY: This item is part of the day-to-day operations identified in the Adopted FY 2024-25 Strategic Priority Project List.
DISCUSSION: In October 2018, Phase 1 of the Civic Center Wastewater Treatment Plant (CCWTF) was completed. The properties within Phase 1 connected their private wastewater lines to the City’s wastewater collection system and the City began collecting wastewater and recycled water service fees. The wastewater and recycled water service rates were established in July 2017, updated June 2021 and April 2024 to provide sufficient revenue to offset the associated operation, maintenance, reserve amounts, and management costs.
Budget
The 2024 Wastewater and Recycled Water Rate Study included the following budget information:
1. Contract Costs: Actual costs for the operation and maintenance identified in the City’s contract with Integrated Performance Consultants, Inc., who perform the operation and maintenance of CCWTF. Generally, these costs include the actual labor to operate the system. Staff also considered that the maintenance and operation contract must be updated in 2026.
2. Pass-through Costs: Reimbursable expenses by the CCWTF operator and not included in the Contract Costs. These items include chemicals, replacement of equipment, fuel for the backup generators, and the removal and disposal of biosolids.
3. Direct Costs: Additional expenses the City will incur operating, maintaining, and managing the CCWTF including utilities, insurance, operating supplies, and water quality monitoring.
Fiscal Year 2025-26 includes anticipated expenditures of $2,308,515.
Wastewater Revenue
An analysis of the actual operation, maintenance, reserve amounts, and management costs are required to provide adequate wastewater and recycled water service rates.
These rates are established to offset anticipated expenditures and project reserves. On April 22, 2024 City Council adopted Resolution No. 24-15 establishing wastewater and recycled water service charges for Fiscal Years 2024-2025, 2025-2026, 2026-2027 and 2027-2028.
This is the second year that the City will be collecting revenue to include in a reserve amount. The wastewater and recycled water reserve amounts will provide sufficient cash 2
Agenda Item # 5.B.
to cover expenses during short-term cash flow imbalances and account for any unforeseen emergencies or expenditures.
The objectives used in developing the recommended rates were based on an equitable sharing of the wastewater costs and actual services provided.
In January 2016, the City Council established Assessment District 2015-1 (Assessment District). This Assessment District provided a method of equitable distribution of the design and construction costs based on the estimated flow and strength of the wastewater contributed by each parcel within the district. To be consistent, the current wastewater and recycled water service rates were developed using the same methodology used in the Assessment District. This ensures a fair and equitable distribution of the operation, maintenance and management of the wastewater, recycled water, and injection wells systems.
Equivalent Dwelling Units (EDUs) allow the development of a base unit to which all parcels are compared and service rates are established. For example, a standard home is represented by the number of fixtures, wastewater flow and strength. A restaurant is then defined by how many standard homes, or EDUs, its flow is equivalent to. An analysis was created to arrive at a standard EDU for wastewater service rate using a similar methodology used in the Assessment District. Each parcel would pay a monthly service rate based on how many EDUs the parcels flow and strength would be equal to. The following table shows the calculated EDUs for FY 2025-2026 in Phase 1:
Wastewater EDUs
FY 2025-26
Projected
Number of Developed EDUs 380.2347
The total annual revenue was calculated by dividing the anticipated expenditures and reserve amounts by the developed EDUs to calculate the monthly cost per EDU (Annual Budget / 380.2347 EDU / 12 months).

Wastewater Rate ($/EDU) $526.57

Agenda Item # 5.B.
The total monthly charge for each parcel is determined by multiplying the EDU rate by the total EDUs for each parcel. Each developed parcel’s monthly service charge is included in Attachment 1.
Proposition 218
In July 2006, the California Supreme Court determined that water and wastewater service charges are property related charges and therefore are subject to Proposition 218 procedural requirements. Proposition 218 procedures require notices to be mailed to each property owner 45 days prior to public hearing on any proposed fee increase. Proposition 218 prohibits the adoption of a fee increase if a majority of property owners protest in writing. Under Proposition 218, the fee must not exceed the proportional cost of the service attributable to the property.
A detailed notice of the proposed wastewater and recycled water rate was mailed to all the property owners within the service area 30 days before June 23, 2025. The Fiscal Year 2025-2026 wastewater service fees are posted on the City's website. In May 2025, a letter was sent to all property owners in the Phase One wastewater prohibition area advising them of the availability of this information (Attachment 2).

SUBJECT: CIVIC CENTER WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITY PROJECT
WASTEWATER BILLING
Dear Property Owner,
You are receiving this notification because you are a property owner within Assessment District 2015-1 and are required to pay wastewater services fees for the associated operation, maintenance, and management costs of the Civic Center Water Treatment Facility (CCWTF). On April 22, 2024, the City Council adopted the revised wastewater and recycled water rates. The revised rates can be located on the City’s website at www.malibucity.org/ccwtf.
In order to simplify the wastewater billing, the City has elected to have the wastewater service charges collected on the County property taxes. The wastewater services charges from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026 will be added to the property taxes. Please see the attachment for your specific property and amount.
On June 23, 2025, at 6:30 p.m. the City Council will hold a public hearing to adopt a resolution to allow the wastewater services charges to be collected with the property taxes and to hear any objections to this method. Objections can also be mailed to the City Clerk prior to the City Council meeting.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at (310) 456-2489, ext. 339.

Council Agenda Report
To: Mayor Riggins and the Honorable Members of the City Council Prepared by: Richard Rojas, Interim Deputy City Manager Approved by: Candace Bond, Interim City Manager
Date prepared: May 22, 2025 Meeting date: June 23, 2025 Subject: Approval of Use of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for Fiscal Year 2025-26 (Continued from June 9, 2025) RECOMMENDED ACTION: 1) Conduct the public hearing; and 2) Adopt Resolution No. 25-28 approving the use of $7,954 in CDBG Funds for Malibu Community Labor Exchange (MCLE) and the use of $45,074 in CDBG Funds for a permanent trailer for MCLE.
FISCAL IMPACT: The City expects to receive a total allocation of CDBG funding for FY 2025-26 of $53,028. This allocation amount is an estimate provided by the Los Angeles County Development Authority (CDA) and may fluctuate by +/- 2%.
STRATEGIC PRIORITY: This item supports the MCLE Permanent Office Trailer priority identified in the Adopted FY 2023-24 Strategic Priority Project List.
DISCUSSION: The City receives an allocation of Federal CDBG funds each year by way of the Los Angeles CDA. The City is projected to receive $68,949 in FY 2025-26. The CDA guidelines stipulate that only 15% percent of the annual CDBG allocation can be allocated to public service programs and the remaining funds must be spent on eligible capital projects.
Historically, the City has awarded the maximum public service program funds to the MCLE to operate a day labor program assisting low-to-moderate income individuals with workforce placement. The City has had challenges with identifying CDBG eligible capital projects that met CDBG funding guidelines. In January of 2014, the Council adopted Resolution No. 14-70 authorizing CDBG capital funds to be used to purchase and install a permanent office trailer for MCLE on the County property in the City’s Civic Center.
MCLE was in need of a new trailer because the existing trailer that it was operating out of was determined to be dilapidated and unable to be relocated as needed to accommodate City Council Meeting
06-23-25
Item
5.C.
Agenda Item # 5.C.
the construction of the Santa Monica College Malibu Satellite Campus Project on the County property. Due to the construction schedule and footprint of the Malibu Satellite Campus Project, the City’s Permanent Trailer Project was put on hold. Council subsequently directed that CDBG funds be allocated to cover the costs to rent a temporary office trailer for MCLE. The City has been actively working with representatives from Santa Monica College Annex – Facilities Team to complete the underground utility connection and parking lot (paving) to the permanent trailer site. The permanent trailer is currently in design with the City’s engineering firm Kimley Horne. Upon the receipt of the engineered plans, the City will launch an RFP for the construction of the trailer.
Given the timeline, and current momentum of the project, staff recommends that $7,954 in CDBG Funds for Malibu Community Labor Exchange (MCLE) and be allocated to fund the daily MCLE operations and of $45,074 in CDBG funds for a permanent trailer for MCLE. The total estimated construction costs for the MCLE permanent trailer will not be known until the project goes out to bid. The existing fund balance and ongoing capital equipment appropriation will contribute to the cost. If additional General Fund monies are needed, staff will return to the Council with a request for increased appropriation.

Reviewed by: Richard Rojas, Interim Deputy City Manager Approved by: Candace Bond, Interim City Manager
Date prepared: June 18, 2025 Meeting date: June 23, 2025 Subject: Proposed Budget for Fiscal Year 2025-26
RECOMMENDED ACTION: 1) Conduct the public hearing; 2) Adopt Resolution No. 25-37 adopting the Annual Budget for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26; 3) Adopt Resolution No. 25-38 establishing the Appropriations Limit for FY 2025-26; and 4) Adopt Resolution No. 25-39 approving the FY 2025-26 Authorized Positions and Salary Ranges and the Deputy Community Development Director Job Specification.
FISCAL IMPACT: The Proposed Budget totals $81.80 million in revenue and $110.32 million in expenses and includes General Fund revenue of $60.13 million and General Fund expenditures of $72.34 million.
The overall budget includes nearly $16.79 million in one-time General Fund capital project expenditures from accumulated committed fund balances. This includes $8.40 million in General Fund committed fund balances for capital and $8.39 million for Disaster related capital.
Furthermore, the General Fund Undesignated revenues are $56.70 million. The Undesignated Expenditures are $64.96 million, but there are offsetting operating expenditure transfers-in of $1.18 million, for operating expenditures totaling $63.78 million. The resulting Operating Net Financial Impact is a negative $7.08 million.
At present, the general fund relies on one-time resources to support ongoing expenditures. There is an opportunity to strengthen the long-term sustainability of the general fund with operational improvements, enhancement to revenue generation programs, and reimbursements of one-time disaster related expenses. The ongoing operating expenditures of $62.26 exceed revenues of $56.70 million.

o Revenue and Expenditures for the CDBG Labor Exchange Program were reduced by $1,837 to reflect the updated funding allocation.
Background
The FY 2025-26 Proposed Budget is recommended for the Council’s adoption. The budget, as always, is a point-in-time projection of what will occur in the upcoming year.
The General Fund has ongoing revenues of $56.70 million and ongoing expenditures of $62.26 million. The General Fund Undesignated Reserve at July 1, 2025, is estimated at $58.88 million, and a projected ending balance of $51.80 million at June 30, 2026. Expenditures were offset, pending potential FEMA reimbursement, by utilizing $6.5 million that has been maintained in Fund Balance Designated for Contingencies to fund the City’s disaster response. Should reimbursement be received, the Contingency designation will be replenished. The projected ending balance is 79.75% of the FY 2025-26 General Fund Program Expenditures of $64.96 million. This exceeds the City’s goal of maintaining a minimum of 50% of the budgeted expenditures in reserves (Council Policy #3) and exceeds the 65% goal necessary to retain the highest credit rating for the City (per the City’s underwriter). The total projected General Fund balance (including Designated and Undesignated Reserves) at June 30, 2026, is $54.39 million.
These reserves are detailed on the Schedule of Fund Balances page of the budget.
The Special Revenue Funds total $15.67 million in revenue and expenditures total $4.65 million.
Transfers of $11.35 million to other funds will leave a projected reserve of $13.45 million at FY 2025-26 year-end.
Revenue to the Legacy Park Project Fund totals $1.69 million and expenditures total $2.14 million, leaving a projected Fund Balance at June 30, 2026, of approximately $382,000.
The totals for all funds are $81.80 million in revenue and $110.32 million in expenditures.
General Fund Revenue
As is prudent practice, the Proposed Budget includes realistic yet conservative revenue growth estimates. The City’s major General Fund revenue sources are Property Tax, Transient Occupancy Tax, and Sales and Use Tax.
• Property Taxes are budgeted at $19.4 million. Initial estimates for a full fiscal year included a $1.12 million loss in property tax revenue in FY 2025-26; however, this impact could be fully backfilled under Assembly Bill 100 for FYs 2024–25 and 2025–26. This action would ensure that the City will not experience a impactful loss in property tax revenue during FY 2025-26. Secured Property Taxes and Property Tax In-Lieu are displaying a growth of
Agenda Item # 5.E.
0.5% over the FY 2024-25 Estimated to close amount. Historically, Malibu has averaged over 6.0% growth in property taxes year-over-year for the past 10 years. Staff will monitor this revenue source and will amend revenue at mid-year when it is determined whether Assembly Bill 100 is signed.
• Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) – Hotels and Motels – is budgeted to decline from prior years due to the decline of tourism following the Palisades Fire. The City currently collects TOT from six hotel/motel properties and one RV Park. The City’s TOT rate is 15%. • Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) – Private Rentals - is budgeted at $4.2 million. The decline in revenue from previous years is anticipated because of the Palisades Fire and the loss of 62 Short-Term Rental (STR) properties permitted. Assuming no rebuilding or reactivation of STRs in FY 2025-26.
• Sales and Use Tax – is budgeted at $8.8 million, realizing a minimal loss over FY 2024-25 Amended. Though the City is anticipating a loss of $670,000 in FY 2024-25, we anticipate a recovery in the subsequent year. Sales and Use Tax is supported due to the Transactions and Use Tax (TUT) ½ cent increase approved in November 2022. The proceeds generally exceed original expectations with a FY 2025-26 forecasted amount of $3.9 million.
Special Revenue Funds
The Special Revenue Funds total $15.67 million in revenue. The funds are mostly budgeted to decrease in the next fiscal year. Of the more significant funds, Gas Tax revenue is budgeted at $311,000. Gas Tax revenues are based, in part, on projected fuel costs and sales, and fuels prices are projected to remain near current levels. Traffic Safety revenue is projected next year at $243,000. Proposition A revenue is projected at $313,000, which is a $141,000 decrease over the current year. Proposition C revenue is projected at $247,000, which is a $56,000 decrease over the current year. The City is projected to receive $426,000 from Measure W – the Los Angeles County Safe Clean Water Act. This funding can be used for stormwater-related projects and maintenance. Revenue from the three Landslide Maintenance Districts, the Carbon Beach Undergrounding Community Facilities District, and the Broad Beach Undergrounding Assessment District, are also budgeted in Special Revenue funds. Revenue from the Landslide Maintenance Districts is used for operations and maintenance. Revenue from the other special districts is used to pay debt service and associated administrative costs.
The Special Revenue Fund also includes a projected $2.92 million for Phase Two of the Civic Center Water Treatment Facility. Staff are still working through issues that have put the project on pause but anticipate that it will pick up in FY 2025-26.
Legacy Park Project Fund
The Legacy Park Project Fund reflects revenues and expenditures associated with the City’s three commercial properties, Legacy Park, and clean water projects. The Proposed Budget includes $1.6 million of base rental income from three commercial properties. Revenue is used for debt service associated with the Legacy Park acquisition, operations and maintenance of Legacy Park, and other high priority clean water expenses.
Agenda Item # 5.E.
Expenditures
The FY 2025-26 Proposed Budget is $110.32 million for All Funds, this is an decrease of $9 million from the Current FY 2024-25 Amended Budget primarily due to reductions in General Fund capital expenditures.
Internal Service Fund allocations for Information Technology (IT) and Vehicles are assigned by department. The Proposed Budget includes an IT allocation of all overhead costs per FTE in each Department, resulting in $14,858 per user. The Fleet charges are based on an estimate of about $144,000 in costs for 24 vehicles, or $6,000 per assigned vehicle.
The City’s CalPERS contribution rate for FY 2025-26 will be 20.38% of payroll for Classic Employees (hired prior to 2013) and 8.27% of payroll for Public Employee’s Pension Reform Act (PEPRA) Employees (hired after 2013). In FY 2024-25, the City’s contribution rate for Classic Employees was 20.31% and 8.18% for PEPRA Employees. Currently the Proposed Budget includes approximately 29 Classic Employees and 90 PEPRA Employees. Part-Time Employees and Interns do not participate in CalPERS.
The City is also responsible for Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB), which includes retiree health insurance. In 2009, the City began contributing to a Prefunding Program through CalPERS to address the City’s unfunded OPEB liability.
Disaster Impact
While the impacts of the 2018 Woolsey Fire are winding down, expenditures have been added to the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Proposed Budget to address the ongoing operational costs spanning multiple departments to address recovery and rebuilding efforts because of the Franklin and Palisades Fires. The budget includes $10.07 million in expenditures for all rebuild expenses.
There is also an additional $8.40 million proposed in disaster Capital Improvement Projects.
The allocation includes a request of $1.1 million to hire specialized technical advisors to support technology updates, administrative policy updates, and strategic resiliency plans. These advisors will bring critical expertise in areas such as digital transformation, infrastructure finance, economic development and process optimization, ensuring that modernization efforts are evidence-based, efficient, and aligned with best practices. Their guidance will be essential to designing actionable plans, identifying cost-effective improvements, and accelerating implementation timelines while minimizing risk. This investment will directly contribute to long-term operational efficiency, service quality, and organizational excellence. An increase of $220,000 is also included for the potential need to lease additional office space.
The City received a $13.6 million settlement for the Woolsey Fire from Southern California Edison (SCE) and $4.2 million in escrow settlement funds, a total of $17.8 million. The settlement funds have a projected remaining balance at June 30, 2026, of $1.8 million.
A large share of the disaster capital expenses are anticipated to be covered by FEMA, CalOES and the City’s insurance policy with CAJPIA. In past disasters, these agencies have taken years
Agenda Item # 5.E.
to reimburse the City for these costs. To date, the City has received $6.2 million in reimbursements. The disaster-related projects for FY 2025-26 include:
Project Name FY 2025-26 Proposed
Clover Heights Storm Drain Improvements (2019 Storm) $2,000,000 Latigo Canyon Road and Retaining Wall (Woolsey) 2,500,000 Westward Beach Shoulder Repairs (2019 Storm) 700,000
Big Rock Drainage Infrastructure (Palisades) 1,192,271
Las Flores Park Repairs (Palisades) 2,000,000
Total $ 8,392,271
Department Overviews
All departments have Salary and Benefit (S&B) increases of 3.1% for Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA). Some vacancies are budgeted at half a year to estimate that positions take time to fill, and other vacancies will occur throughout the year.
Management and Administration
In FY 2025-26, the Management and Administration Department budget recognized an overall increase of $2.6 million. Though some divisions are proposing reductions to the budget, some of the notable drivers of the increase are as follows:
• City Manager: The budget is increasing by about $669,000, which includes the addition of 2 full-time equivalent positions that were included in the FY 2024-25 Mid-Year budget amendments.
• Legal Counsel: The Legal Counsel proposed budget includes an increase of $280,000 for anticipated costs related to School District Separation legal services, litigation and criminal prosecution expenses.
• Non-Departmental: The budget presents an increase of $555,000. This amount includes an increase in estimated insurance premiums ($182,000), an increase to the Joint Use Agreement with the Santa Monica Malibu Unified School District ($80,000), and increased contributions to the City’s OPEB, CalPERS Liabilities, and retiree health premiums ($229,000).
• Information Systems: Additional funding of about $600,000 includes software and equipment which will be used to complete ongoing projects and to establish necessary resources for initiating new projects that align with City goals. Projects include increased cyber security measures, information storage upgrades, and security camera upgrades at City Hall, the Rebuild Center, and Malibu Bluffs Park. The Proposed Budget also includes funding for a systems engineer to assist with these projects. • City Hall Operations: The Proposed Budget includes an increase of $96,500 for necessary leasehold improvements that include replacing the carpet, painting, HVAC maintenance, and general repairs.
Agenda Item # 5.E.
City Clerk
The City Clerk Department is displaying an increase of nearly $108,000, due to the addition of a full-time Administrative Assistant position, which was added as a FY 2024-25 mid-year budget amendment and other less significant changes to the operating budget.
Public Safety
The Public Safety Department budget remains steady with only a $118,000 increase resulting primarily from a $100,000 increase to the CHP On-Call Services budget and a $290,000 increase for LA County Sheriff’s services. Other operating expenses were reduced, keeping the Public Safety proposed budget mostly level.
Community Services
The Community Services budget will experience an overall increase of $390,000, across all Divisions. This is primarily due to signing a new agreement with a Dial-a-Ride provider under the Transportation Services budget, $296,000 which is offset by Proposition A revenue; however, also includes a $40,000 General Fund allocation.
Community Development Department
For the FY 2025-26 Proposed Budget, the Environmental Sustainability and Planning Departments remain independently referenced and budget variances are discussed below.
However, if approved by the City Council, these Departments will be merged as was recommended and outlined in the Development Services Review study (Study) conducted by Baker Tilly and reported to Council, Item 6A, on August 28, 2023 (see that report for more detail).
The department restructuring is designed to increase efficiency, improve service delivery, and create a more streamlined development process for rebuilding in Malibu. In addition, the new Department brings together six key critical divisions — Planning, Long-Range Planning, Building and Safety, Code Enforcement, Environmental Programs, and Administration — under one roof, creating a centralized resource for permitting, development, and environmental compliance.
The organization chart is depicted below:
Page
8 of 13
Agenda Item # 5.E.
Agenda Item # 5.E.
The creation of the Department began with hiring a Community Development Director to help lead the initiation and build out the organization. This position is included in the Proposed Budget in the Planning Division. In addition, the City Manager will be reviewing the suggested organizational structure and will analyze the positions needed within the City’s Salary Schedule. The main changes will be at the leadership levels, while existing staff positions and functions should remain relatively the same under revised functional groups and divisions.
Additionally, the FY 2025-26 Proposed Budget includes the creation of a Deputy Community Development Director position. Staff recommends that the City Council approve this position within the newly established Community Development Department to provide:
• Focused Leadership and Oversight
o The Deputy Director will provide day-to-day leadership and oversight of essential environmental programs including the City’s Clean Water Program, Solid Waste. o The position will serve as the lead administrator for managing interdepartmental coordination and compliance with state and federal mandates • Operational Support
o It will support administrative functions such as contract management, performance reporting, compliance reporting, grant administration, and budget for the Community Development Department
• Community and Regulatory Engagement
o The Deputy Director will represent the Department in public meetings, regional agency collaborations and with stakeholders on environmental matters of local concern, including water quality protection and solid waste reduction. o Provides leadership in responding to community needs regarding environmental compliance.
The addition of a Deputy Community Development Director will strengthen the management capacity of the City’s newly formed Community Development Department. It will ensure a consistent, proactive approach to environmental programs, regulatory compliance, and public service delivery. The position aligns with Malibu’s vision of maintaining a healthy, sustainable, and resilient community. A proposed job description is included with this report as Attachment 2.
Environmental Sustainability
The Environmental Sustainability programs increase by $904,000, across all divisions. The increase is driven primarily by the necessity for professional services for Exterior Elevated Elements (E3) program costs, which should be fully offset by the accompanying related fees, and consultants to support the heavy workload of staff as the City responds to disaster recovery and rebuild efforts.
Planning and Code Enforcement
The Planning programs budget requests a $223,500 increase for the next fiscal year. The Department continues to balance the need for consultants while focusing on filling vacancies. The FY 2022-23 Budget incorporated departmental reorganization and strategy to enhance capacity and improve customer service by aligning staffing investments with workload demands. As of FY 2024-25, seven positions were added to the Department. In FY 2025-26, staff is requesting three
Agenda Item # 5.E.
new full-time positions, one in Planning and one in Code Enforcement, and one new full-time position that will be assigned to the Rebuild Center (these positions are included in the Community Development organization chart above). Additionally, one temporary administrative employee is requested for a short-term to assist with rebuild efforts. The goal is to slowly reduce the dependence on consultant support to a normalized level.
Public Works
The budget for the Public Works Department has a net decrease of $819,000, overall. The decreases are driven by Street Maintenance, -$609,000; and Fleet Operations, -$306,000, simply from purchasing fewer vehicles in the upcoming fiscal year, and general reductions in projects needing professional services. The Engineering budget has increased overall by $27,000 and includes one full-time Management Analyst position, yet also recognizes decreases in other operating expenses.
Capital Projects
The Proposed Budget for FY 2025-26 includes a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) that intends to address as many projects as possible. The CIP budget totals $18.55 million for FY 2025-26. Note that staff are still reviewing the CIP needs for the upcoming year so the presentation of projects in this report are not yet firm and are subject to change. It is likely that projects will be added or updated at the FY 2025-26 mid-year budget review. Below is a list of identified projects for the upcoming year:

Total $ 18,554,985
Much of the funding for capital projects comes from outside funding sources and grants.
Funding for the Permanent Skate Park comes from two sources: an OGALS Per Capita Grant of $185,822, a settlement agreement of $150,000, and additional funding from the General Fund Reserve in the amount of $4,717,289. However, should the Council give direction to Staff to pursue fundraising efforts for the new Park, the amount of funds from the GF reserve to the project could be reduced.
Pursuant to the City’s budgeting policies, unspent capital project funds will be rolled over each year until the project is completed.
Of the total $18.6 million of capital expenditures, $10.1 million is being funded from grants/state funds. There are $8.4 million in capital projects being funded from the General Fund.
Personnel
The Proposed Budget provides for 128.58 full-time equivalent (FTE) positions comprised of 113.0 full-time employees, 3.20 permanent part-time employees, and 12.38 FTEs working as part-time employees (See Appendices “Proposed Authorized Positions” page 150). The FTE count does not include the 5.00 City Councilmembers.
The City typically provides an annual Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) to employees. The adjustment is derived from the Consumer Price Index (CPI) using an annual percentage from February. The percentage change of the CPI in February 2025 was 3.1%. The Proposed Budget for FY 2025-26 includes this COLA. The financial impact of the COLA is approximately $459,000.
Pending review and approval by the City Council, the following positions have been added in the Proposed Budget, as noted in the department discussions, an additional 8.0 FTE as part of the 128.58 FTE total:
• City Manager
o 1.0 Assistant to the City Manager
o 1.0 Deputy City Manager
• Community Development Department

Strategic Work Plan
The City Council adopted the FY 2024-25 Strategic Work Plan on September 27, 2023. The next strategic Work Plan session is scheduled for June 26, 2025.
Gann Limit
Article XIIIB of the California State Constitution, commonly referred to as the Gann Appropriations Limit, was adopted in 1979 and placed limits on the amount of proceeds of taxes that State and local agencies can appropriate and spend each year. The Gann Appropriations Limit was modified by Proposition 98 in 1988 and Proposition 111 in 1990.
The limit is different for each agency and changes each year. The annual limit is based on the amount of tax proceeds that were authorized to be spent in Fiscal Year 1978-1979, modified for changes in inflation and population. Inflationary adjustments are based on increases in the California per capita income or the increase in non-residential assessed valuation due to new construction. An adjustment is also made based on changes in Malibu’s population. The State Department of Finance provides the population growth factor for both the City and the County, and the City can calculate the appropriations limit using the higher of the two factors.
For FY 2025-26, the population growth factor for the County of Los Angeles is +0.30% and the population growth factor for the City of Malibu is -0.18%; therefore, the appropriations limit will be based on the County’s factor. The California per capita personal income growth factor is 6.44%, as provided by the State Department of Finance.
The estimated tax proceeds appropriated by the City Council are under the limit. The Appropriations Limit for FY 2025-26 is $35,718,532. This is the maximum amount of tax proceeds the City is able to appropriate and spend in FY 2025-26. The net proceeds subject to the Appropriations limit is $27,136,740. The City is under the Limit, or remaining appropriation capacity, by $8,581,792.
The Proposed Budget includes a total of $41,215,276 of proceeds subject to the Appropriations Limit and $35,226,328 of proceeds not subject to the Appropriations Limit. The appropriations subject to the Limit is reduced for eligible exclusions of $14,078,536, netting $27,136,740.
Section 7910 of the State Government Code requires a governing body to annually adopt, by resolution, an appropriations limit for the upcoming fiscal year. Resolution No. 25-38 establishes the Appropriations Limit of $35,718,532 for FY 2025-26.

The non-departmental program accounts for the centralization of services provided for the benefit of all departments. These services include fixed asset management; insurance premiums; claims settlements; receptionist services; printing; postage; telephone; and equipment leases. Expenses include retiree health premiums and other post-employment benefit costs.
This program accounts for the expenditures related to the Joint Use Agreement between the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District and the City of Malibu. This agreement provides for the joint operation and maintenance of school district facilities including ball fields, tennis courts and the swimming pool at Malibu High School.
Also included in this program is the risk management function, which maintains responsibility for all the City’s insurance needs, including property, workers’ compensation, fidelity bonds, special events, and auto liability. The goal of the risk management function is to apply loss prevention and control measures through identification and analysis of loss exposure in the areas of liability, workers’ compensation, and property loss. The City is a member of the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority (“JPIA”), which provides for the pooling of self-insured losses of its member cities.
The budget for non-departmental services also includes funding for the City’s required payments under the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) for retiree health costs and for the City’s CalPERS liability payment. These costs are reviewed every two years as mandated.
In 2009, the City began contributing to a Prefunding Program through CalPERS to address the City’s unfunded Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) liability.

The Information Systems Technology (IS) division provides support and advisory services for all City automated information and communications systems. The division supports the City’s telephone system as well as the local area network which consists of 19 physical servers, 22 virtual servers and over 275 computers consisting of personal computers, laptops, and virtual machines. The Information Technology Fund primarily derives its revenue from a service charge to each department of overhead costs allocated per person which contributes towards the maintenance and future replacement of equipment.
The City’s systems and operations continue to advance and improve. The strategic initiatives to increase cyber security updates will be ongoing with the goals of efficiency, accessibility, and transparency, and will better protect IT infrastructure from potential disasters and/or cyberattack.
Furthermore, the Division works on projects such, as but not limited to: fixing urgent organizational issues as they are reported; improving the resilience of the network to minimize, if not eliminate, network outages; obsolete equipment replacements; support for digitization of records; and maintaining a staff intranet.
The most significant initiative, a new Land Management System (LMS) or “permitting software” system, is intended to be brought for Council’s consideration and approval with kick-off during the calendar year and will promote government resiliency and improve permit processing timelines.
The FY 2025-26 Budget will continue the aforementioned initiatives as well as further advancing technology including multi-factor authentication and cloud storage. The budget also includes $160,000 for security camera upgrades at Malibu City Hall, the Malibu Rebuild Center, and Malibu Bluffs Park.
To properly staff and support the City’s ongoing and ever-increasing technology requirements, the budget includes recruitment of a full-time Information Systems Administrator and $150,000 in professional services for Systems Engineer services.

COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT
In 2008-2009, the City assisted a group of 21 property owners in the Carbon Beach area with the formation of a Community Facilities District (CFD). The CFD provides a mechanism for the property owners to finance the undergrounding of utilities in the Carbon Beach area along Pacific Coast Highway. Each property within the CFD pays for the undergrounding project via annual assessments levied against the properties through the Los Angeles County Assessor’s Office.
Bonds were sold as a part of the process and all costs of issuing the bonds were paid from proceeds of the bond sale. Funds are administered by US Bank, which acts as the fiscal agent and trustee for the CFD.
The City contracts with a financial services firm to manage the Carbon Beach Undergrounding CFD.

ASSESSMENT DISTRICT
On January 25, 2016, the City of Malibu Assessment District (AD) No. 2015-1 was approved for the Civic Center Wastewater Treatment Facility. The AD provided a mechanism for property owners in the Civic Center area to finance the design and construction of the Wastewater Treatment Facility. After the approval of the Assessment District, the City was able to secure funding from the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) State Revolving Fund (SRF) program, including a grant of $9.5 million and $50.7 million in low interest loans. Additional bond funding was issued in the amount of $6.2 million to cover costs ineligible under the SRF funding.
Construction of the facility commenced in July 2016. The facility was completed and fully operational in September 2018.
The loan and bonds will be repaid through the AD. Each property within the AD will pay for the project via annual assessments levied against the properties through the Los Angeles County Assessor’s Office. These assessments began in Fiscal Year 2018-19. The City and the County of Los Angeles prepaid the assessments for their existing properties within Phase One. The annual assessments for the vacant properties the City purchased in Fiscal Year 2018-19 are accounted for in Division 9088.
Costs for the operation and maintenance of the facility are included in the current budget in Division 3010.

AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
The City’s Public Safety Department is comprised of in-house public safety and emergency management programs and contract services, including law enforcement, fire, parking enforcement, animal control, and homeless outreach.
Emergency management programs include maintaining the City’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and alert and warning systems, City EOC team training, staff safety training on emergency protocols, emergency plan development and maintenance, coordinating with outside agencies to develop and improve interagency response procedures, and overseeing the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program. Neighborhood fire safety and preparedness programs include Home Ignition Zone Assessments, coordination and support of Firewise Communities, and CAL FIRE wildfire prevention grant projects.
The Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department provides law enforcement services and includes general law, traffic, parking enforcement, administration, summer beach enforcement, and specialized community policing services. Traffic enforcement is supplemented by a contract with the California Highway Patrol. Parking enforcement is supplemented by a contract with a private parking enforcement vendor and a parking citation processing vendor. The Public Safety Department staff and an outside vendor provide the administration of the Speed Safety System (cameras). The Department also provides support to the Sheriff’s Volunteers on Patrol (VOP) program.
The Los Angeles County Fire Department provides fire services including fire emergency response, paramedic services, and fire prevention and inspections. The Malibu residents pay for these services annually through their property tax bills.
The Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control provides animal rescue, licensing, abuse investigation, and adoptions.
The Department also oversees the City’s response to homelessness. Staff manage a contract for homeless outreach services and coordinate with the Sheriff’s Department and other outside agencies to address homeless encampments.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD), included in this budget are based on current year’s costs, plus a growth percentage, representing the contract rate increase. Due to LASD’s ongoing growth moratorium, we do not anticipate being able to fully staff the Malibu Substation this fiscal year.

PLANNING DEPARTMENT
The Planning Department collaborates with the community to develop comprehensive plans for the future, ensuring these plans align with the community’s vision, and adhere to City regulatory requirements. Team members offer a diverse range of professional advice and services to the public, applicants, external agencies, the Planning Commission, and the City Council. The Planning Department provides comprehensive services in the areas of Current and Long-Range Planning, Biological Services, and Code Enforcement, and a robust public information and records management program. Additionally, the Department monitors projects and activities of other agencies.
Current Planning activities encompass day-to-day receipt of applications for property improvements, remodeling, and/or new development in Malibu. Planning staff reviews these entitlement requests for conformance with the Local Coastal Program (LCP) and Municipal Code and conducts environmental reviews in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Current Planning also includes Biological Services, which encompass the review of project biology reports, landscape plans, and landscape water conservation compliance, liaison support to the Environmental Review Board (ERB) and the oversight Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas (ESHA).

CODE ENFORCEMENT
Code Enforcement is responsible for enforcement of the Malibu Municipal Code, the Local Coastal Program, Building Code, and other State and County laws to promote and protect public health, safety and welfare, and the environment. These duties involve responding to questions on a wide range of code compliance areas from the public and external agencies and conducting formal investigations of complaints. Code Enforcement performs investigations using records, permitting data, and fieldwork. Code Enforcement Officers also work closely with property owners or other responsible parties to determine the most appropriate course of action to resolve issues and provide assistance through the process.
Code Enforcement actively coordinates with other City staff, including Planning, Building & Safety, Geotechnical, Environmental Health, and Public Works, as well as State and County agencies to share information, clarify requirements, and coordinate solutions for code compliance issues. Voluntary compliance is the preferred and most common path. In cases where standard enforcement processes are not successful, Code Enforcement staff work with the City Attorney and the City Prosecutors office on administrative remedies and, when necessary, litigation.
As a result of the Palisades Fire, Code Enforcement has experienced an increase in violations that are either not typical or were previously not a focus. These include illegal dumping, transient activity in burned areas, unpermitted signage, unlicensed contractors, illegal soliciting, and related issues.
The FY 2025–26 Budget includes additional funding to address the rise in complaints and the growing caseload. One full-time Code Enforcement Officer is proposed, allowing the city to divide Malibu into four geographic enforcement zones to improve coverage and response times.
Temporary administrative support is also included to assist with scanning and digitizing historical case files and records, enhancing access and efficiency in case management.

FLEET OPERATIONS
The Fleet Operations program is responsible for the cost-effective repair, preventative maintenance, fueling, and eventual replacement of the City’s vehicle fleet. This program has also implemented clean air programs relative to vehicles to ensure that the City is doing its part to reduce pollution and improve air quality. The City currently maintains an Electric Vehicle Charging Station in the Malibu Civic Center area.
Fleet Operations are accounted for in the Vehicle Fund, which generates revenue by charging each department with maintenance and fuel costs. The City’s fleet of 25 vehicles includes 5 pickup trucks, 16 sport utility vehicles, and 4 sedans. Of these 25 vehicles, 21 operate on gasoline and 4 are hybrids.
Pursuant to the direction of the City Council, new vehicles will be hybrids when feasible. Once the City is able to expand its electric vehicle charging capabilities, older vehicles will be replaced, whenever possible, with electric vehicles.
No new vehicles are anticipated to be purchased during this fiscal year. The City’s fleet will remain at 25 vehicles.

STORMWATER TREATMENT FACILITIES
The Stormwater Treatment Facilities program is responsible for all activities related to the repair and replacement of equipment and the maintenance of these facilities.
In 2007, the City completed the construction of the Civic Center Stormwater Treatment Facility.
This facility was the first major component in the implementation of the Malibu Civic Center Integrated Water Quality Management Plan. The facility is a key element in the Legacy Park stormwater management system and is designed to reduce pollution in Malibu Creek, Malibu Lagoon and Surfrider Beach.
Dry weather and first flush runoff flows are pumped from three major storm drains in the Civic Center area and then they are treated in a 3-step process of screening, filtering and disinfecting at a rate of up to 1,400 gallons per minute. The City reuses the treated water for irrigation of landscaping in the Civic Center area and Legacy Park.
In 2010, the City also constructed the Paradise Cove Stormwater Treatment Facility. This facility is designed to capture, clean and disinfect up to approximately 1,000 gallons per minute of stormwater and urban runoff from Ramirez Creek and the surrounding watershed. The facility has three different filtration systems to efficiently remove trash, sediment and bacteria.
Facility Maintenance activities are funded by the General Fund and the City’s Measure W Los Angeles County Stormwater Annual Allocation.

PUBLIC WORKS
The Public Works Department manages the development and implementation of the Capital Improvement Program, street and maintenance programs, and engineering activities for the City including review of proposed land development, formation of new special assessment districts, and the issuance of Special Event, Sidewalk Vending and Encroachment Permits.
Land development review involves the review of all new building and or grading permit applications for impacts to public infrastructure, off-site drainage impacts, stormwater quality and flood plain management. It also involves review of all proposed land subdivisions in accordance with the Subdivision Map Act.
The Public Works Department also provides support for the creation of various utility undergrounding districts, manages the implementation of capital improvement and emergency disaster projects, conducts traffic surveys, and manages the preservation of survey monuments that control the location of subdivision boundaries and road right-of-way centerlines.
The budget for FY 2025-26 includes $65,000 for three crossing guards at Malibu High School, Malibu Middle School, and Juan Cabrillo Elementary School.
The Public Works Department continues to work with State Representatives, Caltrans staff and other agencies as an ongoing effort to address the safety concerns and improvements needed for the Malibu community along the Pacific Coast Highway corridor.

CIVIC CENTER WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITY
In 2011, the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the City of Malibu. The MOU was amended in 2014 and again in 2017. The MOU is between the City, the RWQCB, and the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB). The MOU commits the City to lead the efforts to work with property owners to design and construct a centralized wastewater treatment facility in the Civic Center area. Under the MOU, both commercial and residential property owners in the Civic Center area are required to fund and connect to the centralized wastewater treatment facility in phases.
Phase One was completed in September 2018. Phase Two and Phase Three require connection by November 2024 and November 2028, respectively.
The construction of Phase One was completed in FY 2017-18. A wastewater and recycled water rate study was completed to develop the utility rates in 2017, updated in 2021 and 2024. The City will be assessing the property owners connected to the Civic Center Wastewater Treatment Facility. The design for Phase Two was initiated in August 2019 and completed in FY 2021-22.
Following the completion of the design, the City began the State Revolving Fund loan process.
During the application review, it became necessary to update the design for Phase Two.
Department 3010 reflects the operation, maintenance and management of the Civic Center Wastewater Treatment Facility, treatment plant, collection system and the re-use and dispersal facility. Revenue generated from the utility rates will be used to offset these expenses. Also included is water quality testing and monitoring costs and other expenses as required in the MOU.
All operation and maintenance costs associated with the Civic Center Wastewater Treatment Facility (CCWTF) are paid by revenue generated by the wastewater and recycled water service fees. When the wastewater rates were first developed, they were based on estimated costs for running the facility. After almost three years of operation, it is evident that some costs are higher than originally anticipated. The City is responsible for costs applicable to City-owned properties located within the boundaries of the assessment district and those expenses are included in the annual budget.
The Proposed Budget for FY 2025-26 anticipates approximately $2.2 million in expenditures for the CCWTF. The wastewater and recycled water rates will generate sufficient revenue to cover the operation, maintenance, and management costs.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS
FY 2025-26 includes an ambitious capital improvement program with multiple projects requiring funding agreements to be initiated and/or implemented with several county agencies. Progress on such is described within each of the following projects. 2025-26 ANNUAL STREET MAINTENANCE (9002)
This includes the design and construction of the annual street maintenance project. This project includes resurfacing Heathercliff Road, Wandermere Road, Grayfox Street, Boniface Drive, Portshead Road, Wildlife Road, Selfridge Drive and Puerco Canyon Road. This project will also include asphalt concrete berms repairs in locations within the City limits. The design was completed in FY 2024-25 and work will be completed in FY2025-26.
BIG ROCK DRIVE AND TUNA CANYON RESURFACING (9115) (DEFERRED) This project includes the design and construction management of the annual street maintenance project. This project will include Big Rock Drive and Tuna Canyon Road. This project has been placed on hold and will be rescheduled due to the recovery efforts related to the Palisades Fire.
PCH MEDIAN IMPROVEMENT PROJECT (9059) (COMPLETED)
The project promotes traffic safety by channelizing the highway, regulating turn movements, and improved traffic safety operations. The project rehabilitated the existing medians, shoulders, and included installation of new raised medians along PCH from John Tyler Drive to Puerco Canyon Road. The new medians are stamped concrete to match installed medians on PCH. This project was completed in FY 2024-25.
CIVIC CENTER WAY IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT (9061) (COMPLETED) The project consisted of improving the safety for all modes of transportation on Civic Center Way from Webb Way to Malibu Canyon Road. The project improved horizontal and vertical sight distances and created additional space for motorists, pedestrians, cyclists, and transit to travel to improve traffic safety and operational flow. The construction was completed in FY 2021-22.
MALIBU COMMUNITY LABOR EXCHANGE TRAILER (9065)
In FY 2023-24, the City supported the Malibu Community Labor Exchange (MCLE) program with a temporary trailer and relocation. The construction of a permanent office trailer using CDBG funds is anticipated to be completed in FY 2025-26 and will be used by the MCLE to provide public services under the Day Labor Exchange Program. 132
PCH SIGNAL SYNCHRONIZATION SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS (9066)
This project will install communication between the existing traffic signals on PCH, from Topanga Canyon Road to John Tyler Drive, and connect the signals back to the Caltrans Traffic Management Center, allowing Caltrans to control and operate the signals and the signal system remotely. The City has acquired consultants and will be managing the design, the permit process, and the construction phase with Caltrans. Funding for the design and construction of this project will be provided through Measure R funds administered by LA Metro. The completion of this project was impacted by the Palisades Fire. Construction is anticipated to be completed by FY 2025-26.
CIVIC CENTER STORMWATER DIVERSION STRUCTURE (9070) (COMPLETED) This project consisted of storm drain improvements in the Civic Center area. The improvements promote the flow and circulation of stormwater into Legacy Park. This project was completed in FY 2021-22.
MARIE CANYON GREEN STREETS (9072) (COMPLETED)
Identified in the City’s Enhanced Watershed Management Plan (EWMP), this project included the installation of biofilters and other water quality devices to capture and treat stormwater. The project assists with the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Discharge Permit requirements. The project was completed in FY 2022-23.
CIVIC CENTER WATER TREATMENT FACILITY- PHASE TWO (9075) The Civic Center Wastewater Improvements Project is part of the City’s Integrated Water Quality Management Plan that will improve water quality in Malibu Creek, Malibu Lagoon, and Surfrider Beach. The development of a community wastewater collection, treatment, reuse, and dispersal facility will replace existing individual on-site wastewater treatment systems in the City’s Civic Center area.
Phase One of the project was completed in FY 2018-19. The design of Phase Two of this project was initiated in August 2019. This phase of the project expands the wastewater collection and recycled water system to include those properties in Malibu Colony, the condos on Civic Center Way, HRL, and a portion of Serra Retreat.
