SUPERVISION RECEIVED AND EXERCISED

CLASS CHARACTERISTICS
This is the entry-level classification in the professional Planner series. Initially under supervision, incumbents learn and perform routine planning, redevelopment, zoning, and related functions while learning City policies and procedures. As experience is gained, assignments become more varied, complex, and difficult; close supervision and frequent review of work lessen as an incumbent demonstrates skill to perform the work independently. Positions at this level usually perform most of the duties required of the positions at the Associate Planner level but are not expected to function at the same skill level and usually exercise less independent discretion and judgment in matters related to work procedures and methods. Work is usually supervised while in progress and fits an established structure or pattern. Exceptions or changes in procedures are explained in detail as they arise.

Item 3.B.

Administration and Finance
Subcommittee Agenda Report
To: Mayor Silverstein and Councilmember Stewart
Prepared by: Renée Neermann, Financial Controller
Approved by: Christopher Smith, Assistant City Manager
Approved by: Joseph Irvin, City Manager
Date prepared: May 4, 2026 Meeting date: May 14, 2026
Subject: Fiscal Year 2025-26 Third Quarter Financial Report RECOMMENDED ACTION: Review Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26 Third Quarter Financial Report.

FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action. As of March 31, 2026, the projected General Fund Unassigned Reserve at June 30, 2026, is $48.6 million.

DISCUSSION: The attached report provides revenue, expenditure and fund balance totals for the third quarter of FY 2025-26.

The Revenues by Fund Report reflects General Fund revenues received of $35.3 million or 55.7% of the amended budgeted amount for the fiscal year. Total revenue for all funds received through the third quarter is $43.3 million or 50.2% of the amended budgeted amount for the fiscal year. Many revenue sources are received on a quarterly or annual basis, creating a lag in receipt, and as such, will be reflected when the year-end report is presented. For example, property taxes are remitted by the County after they are paid by property owners in December and April; Property Tax – In Lieu payments typically come at the end of the year; and Transient Occupancy Tax – Private Rentals is remitted quarterly. Sales Tax is remitted quarterly to the State and then passed along to the City.

The level of revenues to date for the third quarter is consistent with past year’s performance.

Page 78 of 345 ends

Page 2 of 2 ends

The Expenditure by Fund Report reflects any budget carryovers from FY 2024-25, as well as the appropriations approved by the City Council for the current fiscal year in the Amended Budget column. Budget Adjustments, Carryovers and Council Appropriations total $12.4 million as of March 31, 2026. General Fund expenditures for the third quarter total $54.5 million or 54.5% of the amended budget. Expenditures for all funds total $62.9 million or 51.3% of the amended budget.

Projected Fund Balances for the end of the fiscal year are reflected on page A-13. The projected Unassigned Fund Balance at June 30, 2026, includes all expenses appropriated as of March 31, 2026, by the Council. The City ended FY 2024-25 with $56.7 million in the Unassigned General Fund Reserve. As of March 31, 2026, the projected General Fund Unassigned Reserve at June 30, 2026, is $48.6 million. This includes the use of $6.5 million in Contingency that was available at the discretion of the Council and was used to support the City’s disaster recovery efforts following the Broad and Palisades Fires.

Third Quarter Budget Amendments
The Revenue and Expenditure amendments for this period are corrections and detailed on pages A-5 and A-11 through A-12, respectively.

The only adjustment for Q3 pertains to Citizens Option for Public Safety (COPS) grant proceeds. This is revenue granted from the state General Fund for supplemental public safety services and is used to fund the City’s Public Safety Department operations, including front-line law enforcement. A reduction in revenue of $75,000 has been recorded at October 31, 2025, to reflect actual revenue received.

The FY 2025-26 Third Quarter Financial Report will be presented to the City Council on May 26, 2026.

Subject: Fiscal Year 2026-27 Proposed Budget
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Review and provide direction on the FY 2026-27 Proposed Budget.

FISCAL IMPACT: On April 15, 2026, the Malibu City Council held its annual budget workshop and provided staff with the direction to build the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Proposed Budget. This direction was provided after reviewing the impacts of the disasters, particularly the Palisades Fire, on the City’s economy and budget and their impacts on the City’s five-year fiscal forecast, which identified the need to realign City expenditures with revenue streams. This direction included:
• Attaining a 10% budget offset (combination of expenditure reductions and new revenues) to preserve the General Fund-fund balance
• Funding for the Bluff’s Park Enhancements, including the Snack Shack as well as deferral of three other capital projects
• Updating the City’s fees and fines
• Supporting staff exploration of new revenue opportunities This framework, along with the focus on community rebuilding and recovery efforts and the City of Malibu’s Strategic Plan, informed this year’s budget and departmental workplans. This report outlines the measures staff are recommending to achieve these goals and their impacts on City operations. The result is the FY 2026-27 proposed budget Administration &

includes a reduction of $33.60 million ($27.89 million in the General Fund) and 11.9 fulltime equivalent (FTE) positions from the FY 2025-26 amended budget.

The Proposed Budget totals $80.64 million in revenue and $90.13 million in expenses.

Within the General Fund, which comprises the majority of the overall budget, the City’s operating budget is fully funded by anticipated revenues. However, the City’s Capital Improvement Program is supported through the use of General Fund reserves.

An outline of the City’s General Fund revenues and expenditures is as follows:

General Fund Revenue/Expense FY 2026-27
Ongoing Revenue $63,307,140
Disaster Capital $1,900,000
Total Revenue $65,207,140
Ongoing Operating Expenditures $59,691,376
Disaster Projects $5,186,054
Operating Budget Expenditures $64,877,430
Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) $6,540,620
Disaster CIPS $450,000
CIP Expenditures $6,990,620
Total Expenditures $71,868,050
General Fund-Net Financial Gain/(Loss) ($6,660,946)
These cost-saving measures combined with new revenues modestly improve the City’s five-year forecast outlook, which remains strong. New businesses continue to open, homeowners are working through the processes to repair and rebuild their homes, and It is important, if not obvious, to acknowledge that while staff are presenting their best-faith recommendations on the budget, Malibu continues to recover from a once-in-a-century disaster. And while Malibu has weathered other disasters with strong resilience in key revenue streams, there is increased uncertainty about the recovery from the Palisades Fire. The impacts of the Palisades Fire on homes, businesses, and tourism are all unparalleled and the City has already seen a different impact in property, sales and transitoccupancy taxes as it has after previous fires. Staff will continue to monitor City revenues and make any necessary adjustments as part of the mid-year budget.

STRATEGIC PRIORITY: This item is part of the day-to-day operations of the City.

DISCUSSION:

Developing the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 General Fund Budget:

Aligning Operating Revenues and Expenditures
Following Council’s direction to achieve a budget that, at minimum, preserved the City’s General Fund-fund balance at current levels, staff undertook a review of all City revenues and expenditures. The result of the changes outlined below is that the City’s ongoing operating expenditures of $64.88 million, including disaster operations of $5.1 million, are supported by anticipated revenues of $65.21 million. As stated above, the proposed budget does leverage General Fund reserves to fund one-time Capital project costs of $6.99 million.

Revenues
Staff reviewed projections for City revenues as part of the Council budget workshop. Staff utilized information from the City’s tax consultant HdL as well as past and current year performance to establish these projections. Property, sales, and transit occupancy taxes, as well as City fees and fines, are the General Fund’s predominant revenue streams. A breakout of General Fund revenues is included below.

Agenda Item # 3.C.

Type Amount
Property Taxes $21,380,000
Transient Occupancy Tax $7,000,000
Sales Tax $8,946,000
Other Taxes $5,830,000
Licenses and Permits $6,038,250
Fines and Forfeitures $4,621,000
Revenue from other Governments $1,716,414
Revenue from Service Charges $5,579,285
Use of Money and Property $2,815,000
Miscellaneous $1,281,191
TOTAL $65,207,140
Since the budget workshop, staff have made the following adjustments to General Fund revenues:
• Sales Tax – Staff anticipate a modest uptick in Sales Tax to $8.9 million next fiscal year. This is $0.1 million more than initially projected in anticipation of new businesses opening across the City.
• City Licenses, Permits and Services – Council’s direction on City fees will increase revenues for City fees and services from an anticipated $10 million to $11.6 million. • Parking Citation Fines – Council’s direction on parking fines will increase revenues by approximately $0.3 million.
• Speed Cameras – Staff anticipate being able to allocate $1.3 million in speed camera revenue to offset direct program costs, including staff costs and CHP services, which the City is required to maintain as part of the speed camera pilot.

Staff are currently engaging with the State to confirm eligible uses for these revenues and may return with future budget changes based on those conversations. • Grants – Revenue from grants was increased because staff identified ways to leverage these funds to support the City’s street repaving Capital project.

Other Elements of Note:
• Transit Occupancy Tax – Staff anticipate some level of recovery back to a total of $7 million in revenue for both hotels and short-term rentals. This is an area that staff will watch very closely as the number of permitted short-term rentals has fallen by 45% since the Palisades Fire (from 307 in 2024 to 170 permitted units in 2025).

Staff anticipate that some of that loss will be made up by reduced vacancy rates and the ability to charge premium rates for stays.
• Investments – The City continues to realize lower than anticipated revenues from the City’s investments. The City is currently in the RFP process to contract with investment advisors with the hope the City can better maximize these revenues.

Page 96 of 345 ends

Page 5 of 16 ends

Agenda Item # 3.C.
• Reimbursements from Other Governments (primarily Federal Reimbursements)– With the recent funding of the Department of Homeland Security there is some hope that federal reimbursements for City disaster expenditures will increase. However, this will take some time, and that combined with the complicated political environment, meant staff kept the revenue projections in this area steady at $1.7 million ($1.5 million for federal reimbursement).

Expenditures
While increasing revenues helped balance the City’s General Fund budget, additional cost saving measures were required. As part of rightsizing departments’ budgets, every department reviewed their proposed budgets against previous years’ actuals, identified areas where they could stop funding activities because they were no longer needed, and identified areas where City operations could be streamlined. Departments also reviewed all vacant positions to identify those that were not immediately critical to fill.

Following these actions, the City’s projected expenditures include:

Type Amount
General Fund Operating $64,877,430
General Fund Capital Improvement $6,540,620
Disaster Capital Improvement $450,000
TOTAL $71,868,050
The City’s General Fund expenditures are distributed across staffing, department operations, disaster services, debt service, capital improvement, and non-departmental (insurance, retiree benefits). Major components of department operating budgets include significant contracts for public safety, including California Highway Patrol, Los Angeles County Sheriff, as well as contracts for public works and planning review services. The following chart illustrates how General Fund expenditures are distributed within the budget.

Page 97 of 345 ends

Page 6 of 16 ends

Agenda Item # 3.C.

Distribution of General Fund Expenditures
To achieve the necessary reductions in expenditure budgets, staff have proposed the following adjustments:
• Align departmental line-item budgets to past years’ actual expenditures with some variation where needed. To provide context, the City is on track to expend about 80% of its General Fund budget this year across operating, disaster and CIP. This is a delta of approximately $19 million, allowing for considerable room to realign budgets more closely with projected program costs.
• Defund 11.9 FTE in the budget. This reduces staffing numbers across the City.

This includes defunding 3.0 positions in Management and Administration, 0.5 position in City Clerk, 2.4 positions in Community Services, and 6.0 positions in Community Development. However, staff believe that impacts to services will be mitigated by existing contract services, streamlining processes, and other operational efficiencies. Vacant positions deemed essential by staff remain funded in the proposed budget and recruitment will continue to take place for those positions and as positions become vacant.
• Modify the Beach Team – This proposal eliminates some onsite supervision and the traffic investigator from the Beach Team but maintains the same level of deputy presence on the beach.
• Modify the Homeless Outreach team from 3 to 2 outreach workers – With the significant reduction in those experiencing homeless in Malibu, the team will still be able to affectively engage individuals and connect them to services.

Agenda Item # 3.C.
• Reduce funding for the General Fund grant program – As part of achieving the goal of a balanced budget, staff recommend reducing the General Fund grant program from $200,000 to $150,000 for FY 2026-27.
• Reduce contract services for planning and plan check services and environmental program inspections – After reviewing prior year activities and anticipated planning needs, Community Development believes these reductions are appropriate for current service levels.
• Reduce funding for park capital repairs – While money for day-to-day park maintenance remains in place, the budget for capital repairs has been reduced, including repairs at the Equestrian Park. However, the proposed budget still exceeds recent year’s actuals so priority issues and repairs can be addressed. • Reduce funding for City Hall maintenance – Reductions in the budget for City Hall maintenance will mean that programmed repairs and replacement of equipment will happen on a slower timeline than previously planned.
• Reduce funding for recruitment and staff development – These reductions are done, in part, because the City anticipates having fewer recruitments in the next fiscal year and because there are opportunities to leverage vacancy savings for recruitment costs where needed. Staff are also looking at leveraging JPIA and other resources to continue to provide staff development opportunities at no additional cost to the City.
• Reduce funding for new computer equipment – The City’s computer fleet is relatively new and staff believe the City can reduce the budget for computer equipment in the near-term.

With these changes, the City’s operating budget is entirely supported by anticipated revenues. However, as stated above, the Capital Improvement Program does continue to rely on reserves for those projects funded by the General Fund.

Impact on Five Year Financial Forecast
At the April 15, 2026 Budget Workshop, staff presented the five-year forecast that showed that the City would continue to heavily rely on General Fund reserves to sustain current operations. If no action were taken, General Fund reserves were expected to diminish to $14.1 million by the end of FY 2030-31. Staff also presented how offsetting current expenditures and revenues by an additional 10% would help sustain General Fund reserves over the forecast, leaving a final General Fund-fund balance of $50.4 million as of June 30, 2031.

Following review of the City’s revenue and expenditure projections, the five-year forecast shows a slightly improved picture. By reducing staffing costs, which grow at the highest rate, it modestly limits the growth of expenditures. And through the implementation of the updated fees and fines, the forecast shows additional growth in revenues over the forecast

Agenda Item # 3.C.
period. The result is the City General Fund balance is projected to stand at $54.68 million at the end of FY 2030-31.

Updated Five Year Forecast Model
An Option for Council
If the Council would like to further enhance City revenues, Council could revisit the City’s fee schedule and consider adoption of the fee study recommendations. This would be in line with Council Policy #2: Budget Basic Principles that states, in part, “The cost of services which are subsidized by the general fund and are not of community-wide benefit (e.g., planning approvals, building services) shall be reviewed annually to be fully recouped” (Adopted April 8, 1997, amended November 28, 2011).

Adoption of the fee study fee schedule would fully recoup those costs associated with planning and building safety services and fees. This would result in an estimated $690,000 in additional revenue. These funds could be used to restore select high-value items that were reduced in the budget, enhance the City’s Capital Improvement Program, or be dedicated to rebuilding the City’s General Fund reserve. A copy of the City’s fee schedule is attached.

Department Overviews and Workplans
Beyond balancing the City’s operating budget, the FY 2026-27 budget strives to advance the work set out in the strategic plan, support disaster response, and ensure good governance. Below is an overview of key elements of each department’s budgets and key workplan items. Departments’ complete workplans are attached.

Agenda Item # 3.C.

Management and Administration
Budget: $16,301,549 FTE: 22.0 (not including Council)
The Management and Administration Department includes the City Council, City Manager’s Office, Legal Services, Finance, Human Resources, Information Technology, Media, Vacant Properties, and Non-Departmental expenditures. Funds for the community facilities district, assessment districts, debt service, retiree costs, and insurance are also budgeted here.

Personnel Changes
The streamlined department has reduced five positions from 27 FTE to 22 FTE. The budget includes the following proposed changes:
• Defund 3.0 positions: 1.0 Human Resources Technician, 1.0 Sr. Accounting Technician, and 1.0 Communications Assistant.
• Transfer 1.0 Management Analyst and 1.0 Sr. Maintenance Technician to Public Works.
• Transfer of 1.0 Sr. Management Analyst to Public Safety. • Transfer 1.0 Administrative Assistant from Public Works to Human Resources. • Reclassify 1.0 Media Information Officer to Public Information Officer. • Reclassify 1.0 Accounting Assistant to Sr. Accounting Assistant. • Change the salary range for the Assistant to the City Manager from Range 25 to Range 28 in recognition of assuming management functions of the City communications team.

Operational Efficiencies
• The department has reduced funding for employee recruitment and training as well as new technology.
• Budgets for communications have been reduced to align with previous years’ expenditures.
• The General Fund Grants Program has been reduced by $50,000 from $200,000 to $150,000.

New Operational Demands
• Increased legal costs require increasing the budget for legal services by $325,000.

This is the result of increased litigation, increase in the number of Council meetings, and an uptick in employment matters.
• While the budget for technology hardware has been reduced, the costs for technology software have continued to sharply increase, requiring an additional investment of $210,000.
• Insurance costs have grown by $300,000, rising from a projected $1.2 million this year to $1.5 million next year.

Page 101 of 345 ends

Page 10 of 16 ends

Agenda Item # 3.C.
• The City Manager’s Office budget includes funding to restore the internship program, funding one intern for up to eight weeks for each department at a cost of $50,000.

FY 2026-27 Priorities
• Establish a Disaster Recovery District in Eastern Malibu • Establish an Economic Recovery Strategy and make associated policy updates • Digitize City policies and recruitment and payroll processes City Clerk
Budget: $903,365 FTE: 4.0
The City Clerk, the smallest City’s department, is responsible for the City’s public meetings, records and elections. The staff of four support all Council meetings, support departments in other public meetings, respond to all public records requests, and conduct Malibu’s local elections.

Personnel Changes
• The budget reduces the Clerk’s budget by 0.5 FTE, eliminating a part-time position to support public records requests. Staff have identified ways to streamline the process using existing staff.
• Adjust the City Clerk salary from Salary Range 31 to Salary Range 34 in recognition of the expansion of duties modernizing City policies and additional demand from increasing Public Records Requests and Council meetings. This aligns the position with the Community Services Director and Public Safety Director salaries.

Efficiencies
• The department reduced its travel and training budget for staff and operating supplies.

New Operational Demands
• The budget includes funding for this year’s local election of $40,000.

FY 2026-27 Priorities
• Conduct the November 3, 2026 General Election
• Add/Update City polices on artificial intelligence and digital signature • Modernize the City’s Procurement code and policies
Community Development
Budget: $11,418,023 FTE: 40.5
The Community Development Department, the City’s largest department, includes comprehensive services for planning, building and safety, and wastewater management through a combination of staff and contractual services.

Page 102 of 345 ends

Page 11 of 16 ends

Agenda Item # 3.C.

Personnel Changes
Through budget efficiencies and reorganizations, the budgeted FTE for Community Development has reduced the number of budgeted FTE from 55.5 to 40.5. Staff believe these reductions are feasible because of the consolidation of planning and building and safety services last year, process streamlining, and the strategic use of contractual services. The budget includes the following changes:
• Transfer Code Enforcement Division’s 6.0 positions to Public Safety • Transfer Environmental Programs Division’s 4.0 positions to Public Works. • Defund 5.0 positions: 1.0 Planning Manager, 1.0 Principal Planner, and 3.0 Permit Technicians.
• Reclassify 2.0 Permit Services Technicians to Senior Permit Services Technicians. • Reclassify 2.0 Administrative Assistants to Management Analysts. • Reclassify 1.0 Senior Plan Check Engineer to Deputy Building Official. • Reclassify 1.0 Office Assistant (Rebuild Center) to a general Office Assistant.

Efficiencies
• The department has been able to achieve a significant amount of savings through process streamlining, allowing the department to reduce its budget for professional services by $2.2 million. However, this will require that the existing planning staff must manage a larger number of active matters amongst fewer people. • The budget eliminates further funding for debris removal as that activity is now complete. The prior year budget had been $137,317.

New Operational Demands
• Recruiting for key vacant positions remains challenging, placing an additional burden on existing staff for managing the department’s administrative functions and increasing reliance on contractual services for environmental health. • Community Development also continues to be on the frontlines of the City’s disaster response, engaging with community members, design professionals, and other stakeholders to support applicants through the rebuild process and identifying opportunities to improve City policy to support these efforts where feasible.

FY 2026-27 Priorities
• Administer the City’s Rebuild Center, including integrating the Center into City Hall Public Counter.
• Continue to streamline City permitting processes leveraging the Baker Tilly report. • Implement Housing Element programs through amendments to the Malibu Local Coastal Program and Malibu Municipal Code.

Agenda Item # 3.C.

Community Services
Budget: $4,557,093 FTE: 21.98
The Community Services Department is responsible for the City’s parks and facilities, open space, senior services, and recreation and art programming.

Personnel Changes
Community Services relies on a combination of full-time staff as well as part-time seasonal staff to deliver community recreation programming. The budget reduces department staffing from 24.38 to 21.98 FTE, including the following proposed changes:
• Defund 1.0 Recreation Supervisor and 1.0 Parks Maintenance Technician. • Reduce part-time staffing hours by the equivalent of 0.4 FTE.

Efficiencies
• The department reduced its budget for capital improvements at City parks, including the Equestrian Park. This budget is reduced from $188,000 to $140,000 next fiscal year, which remains well above previous years’ actuals.

New Operational Demands
• The full opening of the City’s Skate Park will add an enhanced asset to the City’s park inventory. Budget has been allocated for general park operations and programming as well as potential revenues from permitted use of the space.

FY 2026-27 Priorities
• Finalize an agreement with the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District for facility use (current agreement expires April 2027).
• Complete engineering design and necessary permitting for the Malibu Bluffs Park Enhancements and Snack Shack.
• Create a non-profit 501c3 for park and program donations, memorial benches and trees, and naming rights.

Public Safety
Budget: $18,138,958 FTE: 13.5
The Public Safety Department is responsible for all City public safety programming, including the City’s contracts with the Los Angeles County Sheriff, California Highway Patrol, parking enforcement, fire mitigation, and emergency management and response.

Personnel Changes
The proposed budget presents an evolved Public Safety Department that includes a Public Safety team, an Emergency Management team, and a Code Enforcement team. These changes are designed to better structure the department for the increasing scope of responsibilities and community priorities around public safety and emergency prevention.

Page 104 of 345 ends

Page 13 of 16 ends

Agenda Item # 3.C.

The result is the department is growing from 7.5 FTE to 13.5 FTE, however this growth is all through transfers or reclassifications of positions. The proposed budget includes:
• Transfer the Code Enforcement Division’s Team of 6.0 FTE from Community Development.
• Transfer of one Sr. Management Analyst from the City Manager’s Office. • Reclassify 1.0 Senior Management Analyst position to Public Safety Manager. • Reclassify 1.0 Emergency Services Coordinator to Emergency Services Manager. • Reclassify 1.0 Administrative Assistant to Public Safety Specialist.

Efficiencies
• The department has worked with the LA County Sheriff to restructure the summer Beach Team to maintain a consistent presence on the beach but costs by reducing the onsite supervision and the onsite traffic investigator, achieving savings of $300,000.
• With the reduction in people experiencing homelessness in Malibu, the budget reduces the number of Homeless Outreach workers from three to two. This third position has been largely vacant, and staff feel the two positions can meet the current demand, saving $85,000.
• The department has reduced its professional services budget by bringing more of the emergency operations planning and training in-house and eliminating preliminary funding for a Fire Prevention Hazard Mitigation Grant Program grant the City has applied for but not yet received. If that grant is approved, staff will return to Council to restore any necessary funding.

New Operational Demands
• The City’s speed camera pilot will be a major new focus for the department this year, with installation of five cameras along the Pacific Coast Highway in key locations that must be processed in part by City staff.
• The integration of Code Enforcement will include additional support by Code Enforcement for parking enforcement and graffiti prevention and clean up along with business code violations.

FY 2026-27 Priorities
• Launch the Malibu speed camera pilot at five locations along PCH. • Formalize EOC readiness through upgrades to the emergency operation center and establish an Incident Management Team.
• Increase towing capabilities by identifying a location for a year-round impound lot and contracting with a tow company.

Public Works
Budget: $9,261,784 FTE: 17.5
The Public Works Department is responsible for the installation and maintenance of the City’s infrastructure and roads as well as the City’s capital improvement projects through a combination of staff and contractual services.

Personnel Changes
The budget includes no changes to existing positions but does propose the transfer of existing positions to the department. This increases Public Works staffing from 12.5 FTE to 17.5 FTE. The proposed changes include:
• Transfer Environmental Programs Division and its four positions from Community Development.
• Transfer 1.0 Management Analyst from the City Manager’s Office.

Efficiencies
• The City’s Street Maintenance budget has been reduced to $1.25 million. While this is a decrease from the past year, this amount provides a small growth from previous years’ actual expenditures. If maintenance work beyond what is planned is necessary because of storms or other causes, staff will return to Council to seek additional budget authority.
• The budget for maintenance of City Hall has been reduced from $400,000 to $200,000 requiring the replacement of the City’s HVAC systems and other maintenance to be phased out over a longer period of time.

New Operational Demands
• Staff continue to work through the administrative processes required to achieve a commitment from the federal government on disaster response reimbursement.

FY 2026-27 Priorities
• Implement two temporary roundabouts in Western Malibu • Advance designs and funding strategies for sewer systems along PCH and Civic Center Phase 2
• Implement new audio-visual equipment in the City Hall Theater/Council Chambers New and Updated Job Classifications
The personnel changes are outlined within each department’s summary above. In addition to specific position changes, a cost-of-living adjustment of 2.9% has been included for all staffing positions. A separate staff report outlines the new and updated job classifications.

The recommended changes in positions and salaries have been incorporated into the proposed budget.

Agenda Item # 3.C.

Disaster Response
The City continues to respond to community needs after the Palisades Fire as well as make infrastructure enhancements as a result of the Woolsey and Franklin fires. In FY 2025-26, the City is anticipated to spend $17.2 million on the Woolsey, Broad, Franklin, and Palisades Fires. In turn, the City has received a total of $1.5 in reimbursements during FY2025-26 for the Woolsey Fire, while reimbursements remain pending for the other disasters.

Next fiscal year, the City plans to expend an additional $5.18 million in disaster services and $0.45 million in disaster capital improvements. These services focus on the operation of the Rebuild Center and associated contractual services to support the rebuilding and reoccupation of homes in the damaged areas.

Capital Improvement Program
The Proposed Budget for the FY 2026-27 Capital Improvement Program advances key community priorities and maintenance needs within the City’s limited financial position.

Agenda Item # 3.C.

Not included in the budget are the three projects deferred or canceled as a result of the April 15 budget workshop: Latigo Canyon Retaining Wall, Land Management System, and Labor Exchange Trailer Project.

City Enterprise Funds
The City of Malibu adopts an annual budget for two proprietary funds: the Commercial Real Estate Rental Fund and the Wastewater Treatment Fund. Operating revenues and expenses result from activities related to renting commercial real estate to customers in the Commercial Real Estate Rental Enterprise fund and from activities relating to the collection, treatment, and disposal of wastewater in the Wastewater Treatment Enterprise Fund.

Commercial Real Estate Rental Enterprise Fund
This fund is used to account for commercial real estate rental activity. All revenues and expenses are for the commercial real estate rental program. Activity does not vary much from year to year as the properties have long-term rental leases. The FY 2026-27 Proposed Budget includes $1.57 million in rental income.

The debt service on Legacy Park is expected to be funded within the enterprise fund through the collection of rent from commercial tenants. Debt Service of $1.08 million is included in Fund 500 – Program 7004.

Wastewater Treatment Enterprise Fund
This fund is used to account for the construction and operation of the Civic Center Water Treatment Facility. Phase One of the construction was completed in early FY 2018-19, and customers in the civic center area are connected to the facility. The City is currently designing Phase Two of the facility. The Proposed Budget includes $2.2 million in operating expenses, which are supported by $2.3 million in estimated revenue from Sewer Service fees.

Next Steps
Council will review the budget at its meeting on May 26, 2026. Pending any final direction from Council, staff will update the proposed budget and return to Council on June 22, 2026 for final adoption. The Administration and Finance Subcommittee will meet on June 2, 2026 to review the General Fund grant proposals. The General Fund Grant Program recommendations will be presented with the final proposed budget.
