Reviewed by: Trevor Rusin, Interim City Attorney
Approved by: Candace Bond, Interim City Manager
Date prepared: June 27, 2025 Meeting date: August 25, 2025 Subject: City Council and Commission Meeting Format and Rules of Procedure and Decorum (Continued from August 11, 2025 Regular Meeting) RECOMMENDED ACTION: 1) Discuss and provide direction to staff on the format of City Council meetings, including the regular meeting time and hybrid format; 2) Discuss and provide direction on Commission, Committee, and Board meetings, including staff resources for the recording of meetings.

FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action.

Depending on the direction from the Council there could be costs based on staffing or technological resources needed.

STRATEGIC PRIORITY: This item supports the Malibu Culture priority identified in the Adopted FY 2024-25 Strategic Priority Project List.

DISCUSSION: On March 27, 2023, the City Council launched the hybrid meeting pilot program and subsequently directed the Planning Commission to conduct its meetings in a hybrid format beginning July 17, 2023. These hybrid meetings were initially conducted pursuant to AB 361 and allowed members of the public and the City Council to participate in-person or remotely. Since AB 361’s sunset on January 1, 2024, the Council has directed that City Council and commission meetings be held in person, but the City Council has continued to offer members of the public the opportunity to participate remotely in City Council and Planning Commission meetings. All other Commissions, Committees and Boards returned to in-person meetings after January 1, 2024.

Agenda Item # 6.A.

At the October 9, 2023, Regular Meeting, the City Council directed staff to bring back options for conducting hybrid meetings that would allow, but reasonably limit, remote participation in certain circumstances. This item was delayed while the City Council considered and implemented other changes to its regular meeting format and time.

At the August 12, 2024 Regular Meeting, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 521 allowing the start time of City Council meetings to be set by resolution and adopted Resolution No. 24-39, establishing the start time and format of regular meetings. The primary change was the creation of a 5:30 p.m. block where the City Council could consider the Consent Calendar, ceremonial and presentation items, and the City Manager report, before taking up the other scheduled business after 6:30 p.m.

Since that meeting, Councilmembers have expressed interest in considering changes to the hybrid meeting format, including requiring members of the public to sign up in advance to participate remotely and requiring remote participants to appear on camera. There have also been requests to discuss potentially filming all Commission, Committee, and Board meetings. Currently only the City Council and Planning Commission meetings are filmed.

After the implementation of the new format in October 2024, the City faced devastation from the Franklin Fire and Palisades Fire. Responding to emergencies and supporting disaster recovery is the highest priority of the City, and these efforts have only increased the workload for City Council meetings. It is even more important in these times to manage meetings effectively and promote public engagement in City business.

The changes approved in Resolution No. 24-39 have allowed ministerial and ceremonial items to be completed earlier in the evening, but most regular meetings still run late into the evening. Often new items are still being taken up after 10:30 p.m., when few residents are available to participate in a public meeting. There has been an increase in public participation in meetings since the fires, but this is primarily seen during public comment for items not on the agenda, with participation dropping off as the agendized items are taken up later in the evening. The public has the right to address the City Council regarding any subject matter within its jurisdiction at a regular meeting. However, public input on agendized items is especially important to support informed discussion and decisionmaking on scheduled items where action can be taken at that meeting.

Staff has prepared a proposal below to address the ongoing late meetings, promote public engagement on agendized items, and streamline remote participation. If the City Council would like to modify its meeting format, staff will bring back a resolution to modify the City Council Rules of Procedure and Decorum.

Agenda Item # 6.A.

Staff Proposal
The proposal includes changes to:
• Meeting Start Time - move the meeting start time to 2:00 p.m. • Remote Participant Speaker Signups - require remote participants to register and sign up to speak in advance of the meeting
• General Public Comment - move public comment for items not on the agenda to the end of the meeting and eliminate time deferrals
• Materials from the Public – set a deadline for correspondence from the public to be distributed to the Council and require presentation materials to be submitted in hard copy the day of the meeting
• Scheduling Zoning Matters – schedule appeals for special meetings The City Council often has very full agendas and has historically had long meetings that cause important items to be considered very late in the evening. Moving the start time for regular meetings to 2:00 p.m. supports engagement in scheduled business during accessible daytime hours. If members of the public are not able to attend the meeting inperson during business hours, they will still have the opportunity to submit written comments in advance and participate remotely.

To better manage remote participation, speakers would be required to register using Zoom Webinar in advance of the meeting and select the items they wish to speak on. Staff will be able to compile a complete speaker list by the time the item is called by the Mayor and allow the Council to better manage the time allotted for public comment. Registration can also help minimize incidents of Zoom Bombing where groups of individuals intentionally disrupt public meetings by making disturbing and often hateful comments. Registration will limit participants to joining the meeting with the name they registered with, although their legal name is not required for registration. This would prevent individuals attempting to disrupt the meeting from leaving and rejoining with another name.

The Brown Act does not require the City to allow remote participation.1 The City Council may choose to allow remote public participation when it is not required at in-person meetings.

The City has recently experienced significant technical difficulties with its aging audio and video systems in the Council Chambers. Although emergency repairs have been 1 Only if a member of the City Council is attending the meeting under AB 2449’s alternative teleconference option does the Brown Act require that the public also be allowed to participate remotely. AB 2449 allows Councilmembers to teleconference without publicly noticing their location in limited circumstances for “just cause” or “emergency circumstances.” There are a number of onerous requirements for any meeting where AB 2449’s provisions are used, including that in the event there is a disruption that interrupts the Council’s broadcast to the public, or a disruption within the City’s control preventing the public from offering public comment, the Council cannot take any further action until such service is restored. 3 56

Agenda Item # 6.A.
completed, staff recommends continuing to inform the public that they are not guaranteed to be able to participate in that manner, especially given the recent technical issues.

Moving public comment to the end of the meeting allows residents the opportunity to raise new issues to the City Council in the evening. Since the City Council cannot take action on these items (other than scheduling them for a future meeting or asking a question to staff) or discuss them more than a brief comment, eliminating time deferrals keeps these comments limited to brief introductions and there is less need to provide speakers a long period of time to discuss the topic. If the City Council directs the issue to be scheduled on a future agenda, members of the public will have the opportunity to speak for three minutes and make more organized presentations with time deferrals at that time.

Currently members of the public submit materials for public meetings in the form of email correspondence, audio visual presentations, and hard copies at the meeting. To allow staff time to process correspondence and the City Council time to review the correspondence submitted in advance of the meeting, staff recommends setting a deadline for correspondence several hours before the meeting. To minimize the amount of media support needed for the meeting, staff recommends discontinuing accepting and displaying audio and visual presentations from the public. Presentation materials would still be accepted from the applicant and appellant in zoning matters. Members of the public can submit visual aids and other materials in hard copy.

To prioritize business that impacts the whole City at regular meetings and address the backlog of Planning permit appeals, staff recommends scheduling these hearings for special meetings. There are six appeals in the queue, some of which have been in the queue for over a year.

Other Alternatives and Proposals
• Requiring on camera participation from remote participants. There are logistical challenges to this proposal. Zoom webinar does not allow attendees to turn on their camera. Participants would first have to be promoted to panelist and then asked to unmute and turn on their camera. Although registration may help prevent Zoom bombings, Zoom bombing attempts can also include uncomfortable or disturbing images if participants are able to turn on their camera. There also could be problems forcing people to turn their camera on because of (1) technical inexperience or disability, (2) bandwidth issues, especially if someone cannot afford high speed internet access, and (3) the right to anonymous speech. While staff is aware of other jurisdictions that allow video on zoom calls, requiring video is not typical. • Limit Public Hearings to in-person participation. The Planning Commission has suggested requiring applicants for development applications to appear in-person for public hearings. In order to offer a fair process, if applicants were required to 4 57

Agenda Item # 6.A.
participate in-person, the Council should require all interested parties to attend the hearing in-person. This would require all of the applicant or appellant representatives and experts to travel to City Hall.
• Discontinue remote participation or continue to use the raise hand feature in Zoom for speaker signups
• Continue to meet in the current format or provide other direction to staff.

Commissions, Committees, and Boards
If the City Council makes significant changes to its meeting time or format, staff would bring back an item to Council to provide direction to the Planning Commission on its meeting time and format to keep consistency between the bodies.

Councilmembers have expressed interest in filming all Commission meetings.

Commission meetings are not currently staffed with media or technical support and are held in less formal settings without the recording equipment available in the Council Chambers. The City Council can discuss this issue and provide further direction to staff on the format and resources for Commission meetings.

Council Agenda Report
To: Mayor Silverstein and the Honorable Members of the City Council Prepared by: Christopher Smith, Assistant City Manager
Renée Neermann, Financial Controller
Approved by: Joseph D. Irvin, City Manager
Date prepared: May 14, 2026 Meeting date: May 26, 2026
Subject: Proposed Fiscal Year 2026-27 Budget
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Review and provide direction on the FY 2026-27 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 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 City Council Meeting

Agenda Item # 5.A.
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

Agenda Item # 5.A.
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.

Distribution of General Fund Revenues
Type Amount
Property Taxes $21,380,000
Transient Occupancy Tax $7,000,000
Sales Tax $8,946,000
Other Taxes $5,830,000

Agenda Item # 5.A.

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. • 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

Agenda Item # 5.A.
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.

Distribution of General Fund Expenditures
To achieve the necessary reductions in expenditure budgets, staff have proposed the following adjustments:

Staffing
24%
Public Safety
19%
Capital
Improvement
8%
Disaster Response
6%
Non-Departmental
10%
Public Works
10%
Administration
14%
Community
Development
5%
Recreation & Arts
4%

Agenda Item # 5.A.
• 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. • 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.

Agenda Item # 5.A.

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 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 FY 2025-26

(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.

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.

Agenda Item # 5.A.
• 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.
• 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.

Agenda Item # 5.A.

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.

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.

Agenda Item # 5.A.
• 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.

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.

Agenda Item # 5.A.

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.

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.

Agenda Item # 5.A.

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

Agenda Item # 5.A.

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.

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 are projected to receive 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.

The budget leverages non-General Fund sources to the greatest extent possible to advance many of these projects, limiting the General Fund obligation to $6,990,620 Project Budget
Annual Street Overlay $1,264,388
PCH Signal Synchronization System Improvements $565,591 CCWTF - Phase Two $825,000
Permanent Skate Park $539,311
PCH at Trancas Canyon Road Right Turn Lane $1,104,560
PCH at Big Rock Drive Intersection Improvements $393,219 Kanan Dume Biofilter $491,300
Harbor Vista Curb Return Modifications $200,000
PCH at Las Flores & Rambla Pacifico Intersection Improvements $750,000 Encinal Canyon 60-inch Storm Drain Repairs $844,300
PCH Pedestrian Crossing at Malibu Seafood $712,556
Malibu Bluffs Park Snack Shack/Storage Building $3,449,747 PCH Quick Build Roundabouts $1,522,074
City Hall Audio Visual and Broadcast System $200,000
City Hall Fire Suppression $150,000

Agenda Item # 5.A.

Pacific Coast Highway Wastewater Connection $100,000
Busch Drive Roundabout $500,000
Emergency & Disaster Management Capital Projects $450,000 Total Capital Project Funds $14,062,046
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.

Administration and Finance Subcommittee Recommendation
The Administration and Finance Subcommittee met on May 14, 2026 to review the FY 2026-27 Proposed Budget. The subcommittee provided no further direction on the proposed budget and department workplans except on the matter of the City fee schedule.

The subcommittee discussed the fee schedule and recommended that the Council adopt the full rate study fee schedule, which is estimated to generate an estimated $700,000 annually in additional revenue.

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 Office Assistant/Receptionist position previously budgeted to this Division has been transferred to the Human Resources Division to better clarify the role and align this classification with current duties and reporting structures.

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 FY 2026-27 Budget will continue to further advance technology including multi-factor authentication and cloud storage.

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
In Fiscal Year 2009-2010, the City assisted a group of property owners in the Broad Beach Road area with the formation of an Assessment District (AD). The AD provides a mechanism for the property owners to finance the undergrounding of utilities in the Broad Beach Road area along Pacific Coast Highway. Each property within the AD pays for the undergrounding project via annual assessments levied against the properties through the Los Angeles County Assessor’s Office.

The AD does not place any fiscal impact on the City. Bonds were sold as 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 AD.

The City contracts with a financial services firm to manage the Broad Beach Undergrounding AD.

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.

On November 30, 2016, the City closed escrow on approximately 35 acres of vacant land located at Trancas Canyon Road and Pacific Coast Highway, commonly known as Trancas Field. This $11.4 million acquisition was funded through the issuance of Certificates of Participation (COP) 2016A. The acquisition of the property resolved one of the City’s longest standing legal disputes. The property remains vacant.

On April 23, 2018, the Council authorized a funding plan to purchase three vacant properties totaling 29.24 acres, including 23575 Civic Center Way, which is commonly known as Sycamore Village or the Ioki parcel and consists of 9.65 acres located on the northeast corner of Civic Center Way and Stuart Ranch Road; a 1.11-acre parcel located on the southwest corner of Civic Center Way and Webb Way, and an 18.48-acre parcel located on the south side of Pacific Coast Highway just east of Heathercliff Road.

The properties at 23575 Civic Center Way and southwest corner of Civic Center Way and Webb Way are both part of City of Malibu Civic Center Wastewater Treatment Facility Assessment District (AD) No. 2015-1 approved on January 25, 2016. The annual assessment for these two parcels is $260,000.

In FY 2025-26, the Code Enforcement Division was moved from the Community Development Department to the Public Safety Department to streamline and improve coordination when addressing a variety of safety and nuisance issues. The Department is now divided into the following sections: Emergency Management and Public Safety Services and Code Enforcement.

The Emergency Management section oversees maintenance of the City’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC), alert and warning systems, the City’s Incident Management Team and general EOC training, staff safety training on emergency protocols, emergency plan development and maintenance, coordination with outside agencies to develop and improve interagency response procedures, emergency preparedness public education, the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program, neighborhood fire safety and preparedness programs, Home Ignition Zone Assessments, and coordination and support of Firewise Communities.

The Public Safety Services section oversees a variety of contract services as follows:
• Law enforcement is provided by the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department. Services include general law, traffic, parking enforcement, administration, summer beach enforcement, and specialized community policing services.
• Traffic enforcement on Pacific Coast Highway is provided by a contract with the California Highway Patrol.
• The Speed Safety System (cameras) is administered by an outside vendor working in conjunction with Public Safety staff.
• Parking enforcement is provided by a contract with a private parking enforcement vendor and a parking citation processing vendor.
• Animal rescue, licensing, abuse investigation, and adoptions are provided by the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control.
• Homeless services and response are provided by an outside vendor. Staff manage the contract and coordinate with the Sheriff’s Department and other outside agencies to address homeless encampments.

In addition, while the Department does not directly contract for fire services, Department staff regularly coordinate fire safety efforts with the Los Angeles County Fire Department who provide fire emergency response, paramedic services, and fire prevention and inspections. The Malibu residents pay for these services annually through their property tax bills.

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 local law enforcement, 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 Prosecutor's 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 Community Services Department provides recreational experiences designed to enhance the quality of life for Malibu residents while preserving resources and upholding the values of the community.

The Department offers various innovative and cost-effective programs and events throughout the year and partners with various agencies, including Malibu Library, Boys and Girls Club Malibu, Pepperdine University, Malibu Monarch Project, State Parks, and local businesses. The Department also oversees the use of school facilities through a Master Facility Use Agreement with the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District.

In FY 2025-26, the Department made a focused effort to expand engaging social media content, including videos and live streaming, across its platforms. As a result of these efforts, the Department received an Award of Excellence in early 2026 from the California Parks and Recreation Society for its online series, Assorted Sounds of Malibu Recreation.

In addition to the series, the Department regularly posts daily content such as stories and photos on Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), and Facebook to ensure information remains current and relevant for subscribers. In FY 2026-27, the Department will continue to track social media trends and campaigns and adapt its approach as needed to maximize engagement and interaction.

The administrative section oversees the management and operational functions of the Department, including capital improvement projects, budget administration, grant procurement, production of the City’s Quarterly Newsletter and Recreation Guide, facility use permits, and administrative support for the Malibu Arts Commission, Harry Barovsky Memorial Youth Commission, and the Parks & Recreation Commission. In FY 2026-27, the administrative section will focus on capital projects such as the Malibu Bluffs Park Snack Shack, Las Flores Creek Park restoration, and irrigation improvements.

The Department operates with nine full-time employees, five part-time permanent employees, and thirty part-time and seasonal employees. Contract instructors and volunteers are also used to support programs and activities throughout the year.

The City coordinates aquatics programming at the Malibu Community Pool at Malibu High School through a Master Facility Use Agreement with the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District.

Over 1,400 hours of programming are offered annually to residents of all ages, including swim lessons, swim team, water polo, masters swim, and aqua aerobics.

In FY 2026–27, the City will expand the Learn to Swim program for underserved teens through a partnership with the Boys & Girls Club of Malibu Teen Center. This expansion will provide essential water safety education, which greatly reduces the risk of drowning, a leading cause of unintentional injury-related death among adolescents. These swimming and safety skills also help teens build confidence and independence, enabling them to participate safely in recreational, school, and community water activities.

Additionally, the City maintains high safety standards for Lifeguards and Senior Lifeguards, with over 250 dedicated training hours annually for lifeguard certification, first aid/CPR/AED certification, water safety instructor training, and lifeguard management training.

Legacy Park opened in 2010 as a passive native park and serves as a dispersal site for treated wastewater and stormwater in the Civic Center area. Three buildings have remained as commercial tenants and provide a revenue source for the City to fund debt service payments, as well as project planning and design costs, insurance, maintenance, and property management of the site. This revenue source also funds Certain clean water-related expenses, including Clean Water (3003) and City Facilities (3007).

Restoration efforts continue following the Legacy Park Maintenance Report, which outlines proper habitat restoration techniques for coastal chaparral. In FY 2026-27, staff will conduct native plantings and remove non-native plants to ensure healthy native park habitats.

Educational and enrichment programs such as Agents of Discovery, Nature Walk and Story Time, and annual native plant giveaways, birding, and nature photography continue to gain interest and provide visitors with information on native habitats, pollinators, conservation, and the City’s Earth-Friendly management practices. Partnership programs with the Malibu Library allow exploration and education with local families. Additionally, staff will continue collaborating with Pepperdine University's Biology Department to offer Legacy Park as a research site for botany, soil analysis, and native habitat studies.

Debt service is budgeted to Department 7004, and Operations of the property are budgeted to Department 7008. Staff salaries and professional services directly related to Legacy Park are charged to this account.

Additionally, sewer service fees are charged to this account to account for the connection to the Civic Center Water Treatment Facility. These sewer service fees will be reimbursed by the commercial tenants.

99 PLANNING DIVISION
The Planning Division collaborates with the community to develop comprehensive plans, 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 Division provides comprehensive services in the areas of Current and Long-Range Planning, Biological Services, and a robust public information and records management program. Additionally, the Division 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 of Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas (ESHA).

The Long-Range Planning Division encompasses updates to the City’s General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, and LCP in response to Council priorities, regulatory changes, and community needs.

Furthermore, the Division prepares special studies and coordinates with other agencies, such as the California Coastal Commission (CCC), California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), and Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority (MRCA). The Division provides liaison support to the Planning Commission, Zoning Ordinance Revisions and Code Enforcement Subcommittee, Subdivision Review Committee, and the City Council, as well as project-specific committees as needed.

The FY 2026–27 Budget includes funding to support implementation of the Housing Element programs, the Safety Element, and the Code Consistency project. It also provides resources to enhance the City’s GIS platform through the addition of new data layers, implement software for the Short-Term Rental Program, expand functionality within the Development Portal, and support contract planning services.

Planning expenses associated with rebuilds are accounted for in the following accounts: Woolsey Fire Division 3002, Franklin Fire Division 3101, and Palisades Fire Division 3102.

SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT
The Solid Waste Management Program implements the City’s waste reduction, recycling, household hazardous waste, hauling policies, and other programmatic elements to meet the solid waste collection and diversion requirements mandated by state laws and regulations. Staff have implemented SB 1383, California's most significant waste reduction law, in the last 30 years. SB 1383 requires the City to provide organic collection services to residents and businesses, establish an edible food recovery program, provide outreach and education, participate in capacity planning efforts, inspect, and enforce, and procure an annual target of recyclable paper and recovered organic waste products.

Program activities include residential and commercial disposal of recyclables, organic waste, landscape waste, and landfill trash; construction debris recycling; mandatory recycling and organics recycling program; edible food recovery program; inspections and monitoring for commercial business compliance; special collection events for household hazardous and electronic waste; solid waste hauler permits; tracking and reporting to the State; and public education and outreach. The program is funded through the Solid Waste Management Fund, with revenue support derived from waste hauler surcharge fees and grant awards.

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.

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 connection deadlines are being revised by the Regional Board.

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 2026-27 anticipates approximately $2.3 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 2026-27 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. 2026-27 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 FY2026-27.

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 2023-24.

MALIBU COMMUNITY LABOR EXCHANGE TRAILER (9065) (CANCELED) In FY 2023-24, the City supported the Malibu Community Labor Exchange (MCLE) program with a temporary trailer and relocation. The project is being re-scoped, including funding resources and project location, and Community Development Block Grant funding was returned.

PCH SIGNAL SYNCHRONIZATION SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS (9066) (COMPLETED) 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 was completed in FY 2025-26. Retention for the project will be paid in FY 2026-27.

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.
130
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. In addition, the treatment plant will be expanded to treat the additional wastewater from these properties. The work will include preparing a coastal development permit, construction plans, project specifications and cost estimates. The project is currently delayed pending the results of a feasibility study to be returned to the City Council for review and direction.

CITY HALL SOLAR PROJECT (9078) (ON HOLD)
This project will include the installation of a solar power system at City Hall. This will include facilities that could be used to charge electric vehicles as well as reduce the City’s overall electricity consumption. The project feasibility study was completed and will be presented to City Council- for further direction.

WESTWARD BEACH ROAD REPAIRS (9082) (COMPLETED)
This project consisted of making pavement repairs in the existing beach side shoulder area. The beachside repairs do not extend beyond 11 feet from the City's right of way. This project was initially funded using Metro Measure M Active Transportation funds. Due to the City Council's scope of work change, Measure M was not available for the project and instead was funded with the General Fund CIP Reserve. Construction was completed in FY 2023-24.

PERMANENT SKATE PARK (9090) (COMPLETED)
This project consists of designing and constructing a permanent 12,500-square-foot in-ground concrete skate park on the Crummer/Case Property adjacent to Malibu Bluffs Park. The project includes parking and additional site amenities such as trash cans, benches, tables, and restrooms.

Construction of the Permanent Skate Park began in FY 2024-25 and was completed in FY2025-

26. MALIBU BLUFFS PARK SOUTH WALKWAY (9097) (COMPLETED) This project replaced the existing sidewalk located on the south side of Malibu Bluffs Park. Staff had repaired or replaced several different sections of the sidewalk in past years, but a more indepth repair and re-leveling of the subsurface was required. This project was completed in FY 2023-24.

TRANCAS CANYON PARK PLAYGROUND RESURFACING (9098) (COMPLETED) This project removed and replaced the upper layer of the playground pour-in-place safety surfacing at Trancas Canyon Park. The surfacing was installed in 2011 during the construction of the park, and staff had performed regular maintenance and several minor repairs since installation. The surface was at the end of its 10-year life and in need of a replacement. The construction of this project was completed in FY 2024-25. 131
PCH AT TRANCAS CANYON ROAD RIGHT TURN LANE (9100)
This project consists of installing a new westbound right-turn lane at PCH and Trancas Canyon Road. Funding for this project will be provided by LA County Measure R and administered by LA County Metro Authority. The design of this project began in FY 2022-23. It is anticipated that construction will begin in FY 2026-27.

PCH CROSSWALK IMPROVEMENTS AT BIG ROCK DRIVE AND 20326 PCH (9101) This project was identified in the 2015 PCH Safety Study and includes the installation of overhead warning signs and raised medians on PCH. New flashing warning beacons will be installed approximately 200 feet east and west of 20326 PCH (Moonshadow’s Restaurant). New raised medians, along with a pedestrian refuge area, are planned for this area. A new overhead flashing “signal ahead” beacon will be installed 400 feet east of the PCH and Big Rock Drive intersection. Raised medians will be constructed on PCH near the Big Rock Drive intersection.

Funding for this project is provided by Measure M Transportation Funds. The project design began in FY 2025-26 and construction is scheduled to begin in FY2026-27.

PCH MEDIAN IMPROVEMENTS – PARADISE COVE & ZUMA BEACH (9102) (CANCELED) This project was identified in the 2015 PCH Safety Study and includes installing new raised medians and improvements. New raised medians are proposed east and west of the PCH and Paradise Cove Road intersection. The proposed improvements also included the relocation of the existing bus stop and new signage, as well as the installation of new raised medians on PCH in the areas where the double yellow lines exist in the vicinity of Zuma Beach, specifically where the yellow paddles are installed. This project has been cancelled because Caltrans will be incorporating this project’s scope into their Capital Maintenance project.

KANAN DUME BIOFILTER (9103)
This project was identified in the City’s Enhanced Watershed Management Plan (EWMP). This project includes the installation of a biofilter on Kanan Dume Drive to capture and treat stormwater. The project is intended to assist with Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Discharge Permit requirements. The project design will occur in FY 2024-25 and construction will be completed in FY 2026-27.

STORMDRAIN TRASH SCREENS PHASE TWO (9104) (COMPLETED)
This project was identified in the City’s EWMP and included the installation of trash screens at the City’s storm drain inlets to prevent debris from entering the storm drain system. The trash screens comply with the Trash Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) requirements. Trash screens were installed on City owned storm drain inlets on John Tyler Dr., Roca Chica Dr., and Piedra Chica Dr.

CITY TRAFFIC SIGNALS BACKUP POWER (9105) (COMPLETED)
This project included upgrading the backup power system to the City’s traffic signals at Civic Center Way/Webb Way, Civic Center Way/Winter Canyon Road, and Civic Center Way/Malibu Canyon Road. The project was completed in FY 2025-26.
