DISCUSSION:
Introduction
The City of Malibu has prided itself on its excellent fiscal position, sustained by solid property, sales, transient occupancy, and other taxes, fees and fines, and investment revenues. This has enabled the City to build a healthy General Fund reserve, thereby maintaining an AA+ credit rating and AAA bond rating, and which was essential to supporting the City’s recovery from recent fires. The impacts of those fires drove the City to dedicate 21% of the City’s adopted FY 2025-26 budget to disaster recovery, even as certain revenue streams were negatively impacted.
Now, over a year out, the City must take stock of its fiscal position and establish a longterm strategy to ensure financial resilience, prepare to invest in desired community amenities, and be ready for the next disaster.
City Council Meeting

Item
1.A.
2 Agenda Item # 1.A.
To do this, staff have developed a five-year forecast to strategically plan and prioritize Malibu’s budget. This effort found that while Malibu’s revenue streams are anticipated to recover, the growth of existing expenditures, if left unchanged, would outpace revenues through the forecast period and beyond. This is driven largely by:
• Federal government reimbursements are severely delayed and staff expect that the City will not see major portions of the reimbursement until FY 2029-30 • Sales and Use Tax and Transient Occupancy Tax revenues continue to be impacted following the fires
• Costs associated with employee retirement, healthcare, and insurance outpace the growth rate of revenues
• Property tax revenues, the City’s largest revenue stream, are experiencing modest growth now as fire-related reassessments and appeals offset assessed value increases
• Costs for many areas of City business, including construction and maintenance, legal services, insurance, technology and other areas have been impacted by inflation, tariffs and industry changes
Therefore, staff are in the process of identifying a series of measures to balance the City’s expenditure plan with anticipated revenues to mitigate impacts to the General Fund balance as well as create better alignment of City operations and services. These will be presented at the City Council Administration and Finance Subcommittee (A&F) meeting as well as the Council’s budget workshop on April 15, 2026.
The drop in General Fund reserves to nearly 50% of the City’s adopted budget this fiscal year is driving staff to propose an operating budget that greatly reduced the City’s reliance on General Fund reserves by looking at rightsizing department budgets, reducing the City’s staff count by defunding vacant positions, realigning City operations, proposing an update to City fees, and engaging Council in a discussion on various policies to generate additional revenues and prioritize capital investments.
This report outlines where the City’s fund balance is anticipated to be at the end of this fiscal year, covers the five-year forecast, and seeks direction on priorities and strategies to guide staff in developing the proposed budget, which will be presented at the May 26, 2026 Council meeting.
The outlook for Malibu remains very strong. This community’s careful preservation of its rural character and coastline make Malibu one of the most desirable destinations to live and visit. And with strategic thinking, the City can continue to provide high quality services, support our community’s recovery, focus on adding key community amenities, and begin preparing the City to be ready for the next disaster.
3 Agenda Item # 1.A.
City’s General Fund Balance: Assessing the Budget Impacts of the Fires The Franklin and Palisades fires destroyed or damaged 770 structures in Malibu, displacing many residents and businesses. The Palisades fire in particular destroyed homes and businesses from hilltop down to the ocean, decimating an extended portion of eastern Malibu. Due to the complexity of the cleanup and the damage in the area, the Pacific Coast Highway was then closed to Malibu from Santa Monica and Los Angeles for another five months, further delaying the City’s economic recovery.
The City immediately embarked on a major rebuild initiative, dedicating $34.7 million in FY 2024-25 and FY 2025-26 to supporting the recovery from the Woolsey, Franklin, and Palisades fires- shoring up Malibu’s infrastructure and providing dedicated services to impacted residents and businesses. Funding these services is a critical part of the City’s role in supporting the community through a disaster, and is done so in anticipation of some reimbursement of funds from the State and federal governments.
The Fiscal Year 2026-27 budget presents the opportunity to move into the next phase of the disaster response, continuing to dedicate services to help residents rebuild, supporting the local economy to ensure there are amenities and services to meet the needs of Malibu families and residents, prioritizing community needs, and assessing the long-term impacts of the City revenue streams on City operations and reserves.
This comes at a time when the City has received limited reimbursements from the federal government for its qualifying disaster expenditures and the Department of Homeland Security remains without funding, further delaying City efforts to seek these reimbursements. Complicating the fiscal situation, staff have looked at the projected impacts to City tax streams for the next five years and the level of homes and businesses impacted by fire. The number of residents displaced and that will be displaced for some time, combined with concerns about a return of inflation and an economic slowdown mean Malibu’s recovery is anticipated to take longer than it did following previous disasters.
The City’s residents are key to supporting the local economy year-round as visitor rates fluctuate throughout the year. To support the rebuilding and reoccupying of homes, the City has actively engaged displaced residents through community meetings, the opening of the Rebuild Center, and the waiving of fees for those rebuilding homes of a similar size to those destroyed by the fire. Through these efforts, it is anticipated that Malibu will see a steady return of those able to reoccupy homes over the next five years.
Meanwhile, the fires have impacted the City’s revenues and financial position in a myriad of ways. Key tax revenue streams are down or have grown at lower rates than previously anticipated, including property tax, sales, and transient occupancy tax. Particularly impacted is transient occupancy tax from short-term rentals, many of which were destroyed by the Palisades fire. In addition to these revenue streams, the City had to rely on reserves to balance the budget, reducing the amount of funding in its investment portfolio, thus reducing the amount of revenue the City generates from investments. This revenue stream will recover as the City rebuilds its reserves. 4 Agenda Item # 1.A.
As a result of the fires and the City’s committed response, the City’s General Fund has gone from $83.8 million at the end of FY 2024-25 to a projected amount of $54.9 million at the end of this fiscal year.
Financial Forecast and Budget
Given the unique circumstances Malibu finds itself in following the series of disasters, staff undertook to develop a five-year forecast to help illustrate projections of key revenue streams and expenditures with the goal of serving the community’s most important needs while preserving the City’s fiscal position. Throughout this section, the report illustrates the five-year financial forecast as well as the various factors affecting Malibu that were used to inform the forecast.
The challenges that Malibu is facing are unique and their influence on the budget far exceed national, State and even regional economic factors. However, there is merit in looking at the overall economic picture to gauge headwinds that might further impact Malibu in its recovery. Recent forecasts, such as the UCLA Anderson Spring 2026 Forecast for the US and California, issued on March 4, 2026, have already been eclipsed by the continuing war in Iran and the significant uncertainty that it is bringing into the economic and geopolitical landscape. While the Anderson forecast projected stronger growth due to the end (at least in the near-term) of tariff hikes, new income tax cuts included in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), AI capital investment and lower interest rates, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has recently forecast that inflation will rise to 4.2% in 2026, up from the Federal Reserve’s most recent forecast of 2.7%.
Tourism, a very important economic driver for this region, is down overall due to the current administration’s restrictions on international visitors. According to the World Travel and Tourism Council, while tourism grew worldwide last year, the United States, recording a 6% drop, was the only major destination showing a decrease in foreign visitors. The effects of the government shutdown on airport security lines and anticipated higher airfares due to spikes in gas prices because of the war will further erode travel. While the region is hosting the FIFA World Cup, economists are not expecting that international visitors for this and other 2026 events will make up for the declines. When looking at the impact of the LA28 Olympics, Anderson economists anticipate increases in hotel and short-term rental rates (Paris rates showed increases of 141% and 44%, respectively) and in occupancy (Paris showing a 20% increase in hotels and 58% increase in booked nights for short-term rentals).
While these global influences are important, staff dedicated most of their analysis to local trends and data points, engaging with City tax advisors to review projects for sales and property taxes. Staff also reviewed actuals for all City tax and fee revenues. On the expenditure side, staff considered anticipated rates of inflation, the impacts of tariffs and global unrest as well as growing healthcare, insurance and pension costs. 5 Agenda Item # 1.A.
Staff combined all of these factors – the impacts of the fire, the outlook on the local economy, performance of City revenues, and increases in costs for operations to develop the three scenarios within the five-year forecast. Staff seeks Council’s direction as to which forecast scenario staff should base the FY 2026-27 proposed budget – current trajectory, 7% reductions or 10% reductions.
Forecast-Revenues
The forecast anticipates that most City revenue streams will recover and provide a solid foundation for the City. There are two notable exceptions – Transient Occupancy Tax will remain below pre-fire levels because of the large number of short-term rentals no longer available, and investment income will also remain below pre-fire levels until the City is able to replenish its reserves.
Overall, revenues were adjusted by an anticipated inflation rate of 2-3%, which includes some variances. Staff anticipates that reimbursements from the federal government will remain modest until FY 2029-30 when larger reimbursements will start to be seen. It should be noted that, while Malibu diligently works to comply with federal regulations, the timing of this funding stream remains very uncertain.
Table 1: City Revenue Streams
Tax Outlook
Property Tax At the FY 2025-26 mid-year budget, staff recommended increasing the revenue estimate for property taxes by $1 million, to $20.4 million. Staff anticipate revenues will come in around that estimate this fiscal year. Staff also anticipate some level of growth in property tax revenues in FY 2026-27 due to the relatively large number of properties for sale followed by growth of approximately 2-4% annually. It should be noted that properties destroyed or damaged by the fire had their assessments reduced immediately after the fire. Several other property owners requested a reduction in their property taxes due to proximity to the fire and other issues. Any of those reductions in tax will fully show in the FY 2026-27 actual revenues.
Sales Tax Sales tax revenues appear on target to meet the reduced estimate included in the mid-year budget of $8.2 million. Sales tax growth is anticipated to experience modest growth
throughout the forecast period because of the significant number of residents displaced, vacation rentals destroyed, and businesses damaged by the Palisades Fire.
6 Agenda Item # 1.A.
Transient
Occupancy Tax
(hotels)
Revenue from hotel stays is estimated around the budgeted $2.5 million in this fiscal year. The forecast includes a recovery of these revenues to $3.5 million in the next fiscal year followed by modest growth of 3% as local hotels will be able to charge premium rates with reduced competition from shortterm rentals during a series of major regional events, including the Superbowl and the 2028 Olympics.
Transient
Occupancy Tax
(short-term
rentals)
Revenues from short-term rentals were reduced as part of the mid-year budget to $3.2 million. Staff are concerned about whether the City will realize this reduced revenue figure this fiscal year and whether revenues from these rentals will remain down during the forecast period because of the
relatively large number of short-term rentals destroyed or otherwise removed from the rental market following the fire.
Nevertheless, staff anticipates some recovery of these
revenues and projects revenues of $3.5 million in FY 2026-27 followed by modest growth of 2-3%.
Other Taxes Many of the City’s smaller revenue streams have held steady over recent years, including franchise fees. Staff do expect a small uptick in Utility Users Tax revenues due to the
anticipated increase in water rates and increases in energy prices.
Investments Investment revenue is expected to come in around $2.8 million. This level of revenue is expected through the forecast period as the General Fund reserves available for investing remain relatively flat. Should Council opt to leverage more of the General Fund reserves, this revenue project will be revised downward.
Federal
Reimbursements
and Revenue
from Other
Governments
Staff continues to track disaster-related expenditures eligible for FEMA reimbursement. However, Malibu, along with many other jurisdictions, is experiencing unprecedented delays in receiving reimbursements. The current shutdown of the
Department of Homeland Security further complicates this process. The forecast anticipates a slow flow of
reimbursements ($1.5 million per year) in the first three years, followed by larger reimbursements of $10 million per year in Years 4 and 5 of the forecast. It should be noted that this is an uncertain funding stream of one-time payments.
City Fees City fees are doing very well and are anticipated to come in over budget at $8.2 million for City services and fees, including 7 Agenda Item # 1.A.
building and planning fees. Staff have built in the anticipated fee schedule increase recommended through a fee study
conducted in FY 2024-25 as well as a catch up of previous years’ cost of living increases, increasing these revenues to $10 million in FY 2026-27 and then growing by 3% through the remainder of the forecast period. Revenue from the City’s speed camera pilot is not accounted for in the forecast because those revenues must be earmarked for traffic safety enhancement projects and used within three years of receipt.
Staff continue to evaluate how these revenues can offset eligible expenditures and advance eligible unfunded capital projects. These revenues will be incorporated as the plan for using these funds becomes better defined.
City Fines Parking fine revenue is expected to grow from $2.5 million to $3 million as a result of additional enforcement teams being deployed by the City’s parking enforcement contractor. These revenues are anticipated to remain flat through the forecast period; however, additional revenue may be realized if
changes to the City fine schedule, recommended by the Public Safety Commission, are approved by Council.

8 Agenda Item # 1.A.
Forecast – Expenditures
The City’s General Fund expenditures fall into three primary categories: City operations, disaster recovery, and capital improvement. As shown in the figure below, the City dedicated 22% of the FY 2025-26 budget to disaster recovery and 4% to capital improvement. The remaining 74% was dedicated to City department operations. Within those, staffing represents approximately one-third of the budget, including salaries, benefits, and retirement, which is relatively modest when compared with many cities.
However, the City workforce has grown by 22 positions since FY 2022-23, meaningfully increasing the amount of the budget obligated to staffing costs.
Because Malibu contracts for many services, the operating budget also includes sizable contracts for Sheriff, CHP enforcement, legal services, waste disposal, parking enforcement, street maintenance, landscape maintenance, and for the City yard, among other services. These contracts have all steadily grown in recent years due to the impacts of inflation, tariffs, and a competitive labor market. Likewise, the cost for technology and software licensing has also seen a marked increase in recent years. While inflation remains around 3%, there are risk factors from global unrest and increasing oil prices that are pointing to an uptick in inflation rates, which would add further pressure to City expenditures.
9 Agenda Item # 1.A.
Figure 3: FY 2025-26 City expenditures by department, capital improvement and disaster response
Staff anticipate that expenditures from disaster recovery will be approximately $5.4 million in FY 2026-27 and will wind down over two years. Other factors driving costs are supporting employee salaries, healthcare and retirement, which grows between 8-10%, outpacing normal inflation. Other expenditures are anticipated to grow at 3-4%, which is the current average rate of inflation. Taken together, the forecast anticipates operating expenditures will grow at a rate of about 6%. The forecast also assumes a limited General Fund-funded capital improvement program, planning $2 million per year for future projects.
The City will continue to advance other projects funded by non-General Fund sources.
Forecast – Making No Changes
When all is factored together, while revenues are anticipated to recover, expenditures outpace projected revenues. This is depicted in the chart below where revenues (green bar) steadily grow but not at the same rate as expenditures (blue bar). This then requires Staffing

the City to rely on reserves to balance the budget, thereby depleting the General Fund to only $14.1 million in reserves, 17.3% of the projected budget, at the end of the forecast.
If there are further complications in receiving the $24.5 million in FEMA reimbursements expected in the forecast, it would worsen the outlook for the General Fund in the forecast and require significant restructuring of the operating budgets to keep the General Fund solvent.
Chart: Forecast with no Changes to City Expenditures
Forecast – 10% Reductions
Concerned with the prospects for the General Fund and guided by the City’s financial policy to maintain General Fund reserves at 50% of the City’s approved budget, staff analyzed how the City could improve its financial outlook. First staff looked at revenues and found that, for the most part, they are expected to recover from the impacts of the fire except where noted above. The challenge concerns expenditures. To achieve a forecast that maintains a General Fund balance where it stands today requires a 10% reduction in department operating budgets, the equivalent of $6.8 million across all departments and disaster recovery as well as maintaining a more limited capital improvement program. If the City can reduce expenditures to this level, the City will only have to rely on reserves to support the limited capital improvement program in the near years and may be in a better position to fund major community amenities starting in FY 2029-30 with the increase in federal disaster reimbursements. This scenario leaves the General Fund with $50.4 million in reserves or 68.5% of the projected budget in FY 2030-31. $0

Chart: Forecast with 10% Reductions to City Expenditures Forecast – 7% Reductions
Staff also examined a forecast that preserves the 50% fund balance per City policy. To achieve this scenario requires a 7% reduction in operating budgets along with a reduction in the capital program to $2 million per year. This equates to a $4.8 million reduction in the City’s operating budget for departments and disaster recovery. However, this scenario continues to draw on General Fund reserves to fund the City budget while assuming the City receives $24.5 million in reimbursements over the forecast period. This scenario projects the General Fund with $39.6 million in reserves or 52% of the projected budget.

12 Agenda Item # 1.A.
Preparing for the FY 2026-27 Budget:
Organizational Realignment and Budget Rightsizing and Capital Priorities To support the City in balancing its budget, staff have undertaken a comprehensive review of City revenues and expenditures to identify ways to bring down costs while preserving treasured City services and programs. The result is a recommended restructuring of the Community Development, Public Safety and Public Works departments as well as budget efficiencies being identified by staff through review of vacant positions, city contracts, and other expenditures. Staff will be prepared to review those measures at the A&F subcommittee meeting on April 9, 2026. Please note that no layoffs or modifications to employee benefits were undertaken as part of this exercise.
Realignment of City Operations
To better align City services and operations and better balance operational responsibilities, staff recommend changes to reporting and teams within the Community Development, Public Safety, and Public Works Departments. These changes include moving:
• Code Enforcement to Public Safety – Code Enforcement is a quasi-safety function and is housed with Public Safety teams in many cities. Aligning these functions allows the Code Enforcement team to work more closely with safety partners such as the Sheriff, homeless prevention and fire departments as well as better support parking enforcement.
• Environmental Programs to Public Works – Environmental Programs touches on many City public works functions, including water quality, urban and storm water runoff, as well as making city buildings and operations more sustainable. Baker Tilly recommended this realignment as part of its 2023 review of the Community Development department.
• Two Analysts from the City Manager’s Office to Public Safety and Public Works – As part of evolving the Fire Liaison program and preparing the Public Safety department to undertake major initiatives for safety and emergency management planning, staff recommend moving one Sr. Management Analyst from the City Manager’s Office to Public Safety. Likewise, as Public Works builds out its Administrative team to handle more grants and manage the disaster recovery reimbursement process, staff recommend moving one Management Analyst from the City Manager’s Office to Public Works. These changes allow staff to better utilize existing positions without the need to create additional positions.
Budget Efficiencies
To achieve reductions in spending, staff are undertaking a review of previous year’s actuals, reviewing vacant positions, and prioritizing City operations. The City anticipates expenditures to total $81 million in FY 2025-26, including operating, disaster recovery and capital improvement. Staff have identified the need to reduce expenditures to between 13 Agenda Item # 1.A.
$67-$69 million to remain within the City’s fiscal policies during the forecast period. Onetime capital projects associated with fire recovery funded in FY 2025-26 and that do not require new funding next fiscal year close the gap by $8.8 million, leaving a remaining gap of $3.2-$5.2 million.
To close the gap, departments have been asked to identify ways to reduce their budgets by 10%. Staff will present a list of recommendations at the A&F meeting and full Council budget workshop. These reductions involve further right-sizing of budgets, a review of vacant positions, and review of all city operations.
Capital Program Priorities
The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes a portfolio of projects supporting the City’s infrastructure, safety, disaster recovery and community amenities. The roster of projects are funded through a mix of General Fund monies as well as dedicated funding from special revenue sources. Staff will present a full update of the Capital Program with the presentation of the draft budget in May but staff seeks Council’s direction on project priorities.
CIP projects programmed in FY 2026-27 include safety improvements, storm drain improvements/repair, stormwater treatment and disaster recovery projects. The majority of these projects are fully funded by Measure M, Measure W and disaster recovery funding sources. Examples of these projects include the PCH Improvements – Trancas Canyon Right Turn Lane, PCH Improvements at Big Rock Drive, Las Flores and Rambla Pacifico Intersections, and Kanan Dume Biofilter.
The Point Dume Resurfacing Project, Phase I is the annual asphalt resurfacing of several streets within the Point Dume neighborhood. The project is funded by Proposition C, Measure M Local Return, Measure R Local Return, RMRA, and the General Fund. The total project estimate is $1,000,000 with $200,000 from the General Fund. The Encinal Canyon 60-inch Storm Drain Improvements Project was identified in the 2024 Storm Drain Master Plan. The total project estimate is $1,000,000 funded from the General Fund.
Partially funded projects include CCWTF Phase 2 and PCH Wastewater Project. They will be funded with assessment districts which will be formed for each. The Heathcliff Community Center, Temporary Sports Facility, Malibu Canyon Road Safety Improvements, the design and construction of the Snack Shack and several other projects are currently unfunded. A list of CIP projects and their funding sources is attached.
At the budget workshop staff seeks direction on deferring two projects and setting aside funding for one unfunded community priority project.
Deferrals
• Defer replacement of Land Management System – upon evaluation of organizational readiness for a project of this scale, staff need additional time to assess requirements and likely undertake a new competitive bid process. 14 Agenda Item # 1.A.
• Evaluate delay of permanent installation of retaining wall at Latigo Canyon Road until appeal for FEMA funding reimbursement is resolved and funding approved.
Staff will return with a final recommendation as part of the FY 2026-27 proposed budget in May.
Community Priority
• Dedicate $3.25 million of the General Fund savings from this fiscal year to dedicate to the design and construction of the Snack Shack.
Economic Recovery:
Supporting Local Businesses for Malibu Families and Residents In the wake of the fire response, in April of 2025, the City conducted a business survey to gather insights on how businesses were impacted by the Palisades Fire. Based on the results of this survey, at its April 28, 2025 meeting, the City Council approved the creation of a $300,000 Small Business Micro Stabilization Grant Program to assist local businesses impacted by the fires, winter storms, and prolonged PCH closure.
To continue long-term recovery efforts, the City engaged Sunstone Cities to evaluate the impacts of the fires on Malibu’s economy, engage with local businesses and residents, gather data on Malibu’s business composition and industry clusters employment to develop an Economic Recovery Strategy. Through these efforts Sunstone has identified a number of unique aspects to Malibu’s economy, including the disproportionately large number of home-based businesses in the area.
Prolonged PCH closures, intermittent power outages, disruptive infrastructure repairs, delays in emergency disaster reimbursements, and the slow return of workers and visitors have resulted in fatigue among residents and small business owners. There is a prevalent fear among residents and small business owners that outside investors and commercial interests may take ownership of Malibu properties and change the nature and culture of the community.
Therefore, Sunstone Cities conducted a structured outreach process that built on the initial business survey to include combined stakeholder interviews, expanded survey and geographical data, and economic analysis. The process began with interviews of all City Councilmembers and the Interim City Manager, who also provided guidance on additional stakeholders to include, ensuring key voices were not overlooked. Building on this, interviews were conducted with institutional partners and community organizations, alongside participation in a local business roundtable to better understand post-fire challenges, ongoing concerns, and the City’s current efforts.
In parallel, the Business Recovery & Resilience Survey was distributed via a Google Form, shared through the City’s newsletter, boots on the ground outreach, and other channels to expand outreach and validate themes emerging from interviews. Fact-finding has also 15 Agenda Item # 1.A.
been supported through collaboration with Dr. Robert Kleinhenz, Sunstone Cities’ economist consultant, including analysis of American Community Survey (ACS) data and custom datasets from the Employment Development Department to better understand local economic conditions. Together, these efforts provide a well-rounded understanding of Malibu’s economic landscape and ensure the strategy is grounded in both data and direct community input.
Based on this research and interviews, residents and small business owners are looking for strong City leadership to preserve the unique rural community and culture of Malibu.
Sunstone Cities is still gathering and preparing an Economic Recovery Strategy based on the research and outreach efforts. Therefore, the Economic Recovery Strategy, in the next phase of work, will develop recommendations that are tailored, actionable, and effective for Malibu to:
• Take control of its future
• Preserve Malibu for residents and families
• Invest in economic recovery to prevent budget cuts and preserve essential services • Support and uplift legacy businesses
The plan will include recommendations of actions the City can take to encourage people to patronize local businesses, look at ways to streamline the opening of businesses, and ways to draw desired services and amenities to Malibu. The plan will also include recommendations on available funding through various government agencies and other partnerships to support the recovery.
Supporting City Revenues
Given the long-term impacts of existing revenue streams and the community’s desire to add amenities and activate community lands, staff have identified areas to help support revenue generation for Council consideration. These revenues could also be utilized to rebuild Malibu’s reserves more quickly to help support the next disaster response.
Updating Existing Revenues
• Fee Rate Update. In FY 2024-25, the City undertook a comprehensive fee schedule review. In May 2025, the Administration and Finance Subcommittee reviewed these findings, and again reviewed them prior to this workshop. Fees have not kept up with the increased costs for maintaining facilities and staffing various services.
Therefore, staff seeks Council’s direction to bring forward an updated fee rate schedule as part of the budget. The complete proposed fee schedule is attached. • Parking Fines. Similar to City fees, staff and the Public Safety Commission recommend an adjustment of the City’s parking citation rates to help discourage illegal parking and improve enforcement. Staff seeks Council’s direction to include 16 Agenda Item # 1.A.
an updated parking fine schedule as part of the proposed budget. The proposed fine schedule is attached.
New Revenue Opportunities
In addition to these fee and fine updates, staff would like Council to provide direction on two other potential revenue opportunities.
• Parking Rates. Currently, Malibu does not charge for any public parking. With millions of visitors traveling within Malibu each year, this is a means by which to generate much needed funding to maintain the local infrastructure. Advancements in parking technologies make implementation of paying for parking a more convenient and visually cleaner experience, via smartphones or centralized kiosks.
There are various options for parking rates, all of which would need to be studied to evaluate revenue opportunities. Council also would be able to tailor parking rates and times. If Council so directs, staff could study parking fees and return with more information later in FY 2026-27. Any implementation of parking rates would need Coastal Commission approval and require the implementation of parking collection equipment. Therefore, it is unlikely the City would generate new parking revenues until FY 2027-28.
• Development Impact Fees. Another area for fee generation is the implementation of Development Impact Fees. These fees are one-time charges levied by a local government on new construction projects to fund public infrastructure, such as roads, parks, and schools. Malibu is one of the few cities that does not include these fees for developers. Most neighboring cities generate considerable revenue and both Thousand Oaks and Beverly Hills are considering revamping their development fee structures. If Council directs, staff could further study the opportunities for revenue generation through development impact fees and return later in FY 2026-27 with information.
Update on the Strategic Plan
On November 11, 2025, Council adopted a three-year strategic plan with seven strategic goals. Staff have made advancements in several areas of the strategic plan and are using the plan to shape their department workplans, which will be presented to Council at the public budget hearing on May 26, 2026. This update is provided, in part, to help inform any direction Council wishes to provide to staff on priorities to guide staff as they develop departmental work plans.
Since adoption, the City has made meaningful progress in advancing near-term recovery efforts while establishing a foundation for longer-term initiatives. Notably, the City has adopted key rebuilding ordinances, implemented permit waivers, and streamlined development processes to accelerate recovery for fire-impacted properties, reducing 17 Agenda Item # 1.A.
barriers for residents seeking to rebuild. Staff have also advanced a comprehensive economic recovery strategy, positioning the City for implementation in 2026. Tangible progress is evident in community-facing projects, including the near-completion and early opening of the new Skate Park, which has already served residents and enhanced recreational opportunities.
While longer-term efforts related to infrastructure resilience, digital modernization, and organizational development remain in early stages, staff have identified priorities and are beginning to align resources and planning efforts accordingly.
Administration and Finance Subcommittee Recommendations On April 9, 2026, the A&F Subcommittee met to review the financial forecast and provided recommendations on priorities and policies to support development of the budget.
Specifically, the Subcommittee was asked five questions, which are outlined below with the Subcommittee’s recommendations to Council.
Which forecast scenario should staff use to develop the FY 2026-27 budget? The subcommittee reviewed the three scenarios and recommends staff develop a budget of expenditure reductions and new revenues that maintains the General Fund fund balance at or near current levels as well as examine opportunities to improve the fund balance in the future.
Should 3 CIP projects be deferred/canceled - Land Management System, MCLE Trailer, & Latigo Retaining Wall?
The subcommittee recommends that Council support deferral of the Land Management System project for at least one year as well as postpone the Latigo Retaining Wall project until adjusted project funding is obligated by FEMA. Staff are comfortable with the integrity of the temporary retaining wall until the permanent project can be completed. The Subcommittee also recommended that Council cancel the MCLE trailer project and return the unused CBDG funding.
Should FY 2026-27 Budget include $3.25 million to fund Snack Shack? The Subcommittee recommended that Council support including funding for the design and construction of the Snack Shack in the FY 2026-27 CIP budget.
Does subcommittee support updating City fees and fines? The Subcommittee recommends that Council support adjusting City fees based on the fee study conducted in 2024 as well as the parking fines recommended by the Public Safety Commission.
18 Agenda Item # 1.A.
Should staff further evaluate new revenue opportunities? The Subcommittee supports staff exploring new revenue streams, including parking rates and development impact fees as well as exploring ways to support the local economy and adapt under-utilized commercial spaces across town. These revenue streams will likely require two years to analyze and implement and, if supported by Council, staff would return with more information later this year on process and timeline.
Next Steps
Based on Council’s direction, staff will craft the proposed FY 2026-27 budget, which will include the proposed revenues and expenditures for the General Fund as well as the City’s enterprise funds. Council will then have the opportunity to provide additional input at the public budget hearing on May 26, 2026 before the final proposed budget is presented to Council for adoption on June 29, 2026. Staff will continue to refine budget projections and the five-year forecast as additional information becomes available throughout this process.

The Public Safety Commission recommended that CVC 5201 (C&D) – “License Plate Covered” be increased from $38.00 to $100.00 per citation; however, the staff report presented showed an increase from $38.00 to $75.00. Despite the typographical error, the projected revenue increase remains at $10,332 because it was calculated using the intended increase from $38.00 to $100.00.
The following table was updated to accurately reflect the Public Safety Commission’s recommendation:
