EXHIBIT C
INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
Without limiting Consultant’s indemnification of City, and prior to commencement of work and/or services under this Agreement, Consultant shall obtain, provide, and maintain at its own expense during the term of this Agreement, policies of insurance of the type and amounts described below and in a form satisfactory to City.
General Liability Insurance. Consultant shall maintain commercial general liability insurance with coverage at least as broad as Insurance Services Office form CG 00 01, in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence, $2,000,000 general aggregate, for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage. The policy must include contractual liability that has not been amended.
Any endorsement restricting standard ISO “insured contract” language will not be accepted.
Automobile Liability Insurance. Consultant shall maintain automobile insurance at least as broad as Insurance Services Office form CA 00 01 covering bodily injury and property damage for all activities of the Consultant arising out of or in connection with Work to be performed under this Agreement, including coverage for any owned, hired, non-owned, or rented vehicles, in an amount not less than 1,000,000 combined single limit for each accident.
Professional Liability (Errors & Omissions) Insurance. Consultant shall maintain professional liability insurance that covers the Services to be performed in connection with this Agreement, in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 per claim and in the aggregate. Any policy inception date, continuity date, or retroactive date must be before the effective date of this agreement and Consultant agrees to maintain continuous coverage through a period no less than three years after completion of the services required by this agreement.
Workers’ Compensation Insurance. Consultant shall maintain Workers’ Compensation Insurance (statutory limits) and Employer’s Liability insurance (with limits of at least $1,000,000).
Consultant shall submit to Agency, along with the certificate of insurance, a Waiver of Subrogation endorsement in favor of City, its officers, agents, employees, and volunteers.
OTHER PROVISIONS OR REQUIREMENTS
Proof of Insurance. Consultant shall provide certificates of insurance and required endorsements to City as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein. Insurance certificates and endorsements must be approved by City’s Risk Manager prior to commencement of performance.
Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with City for the contract period and any additional length of time required thereafter. City reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, at any time.
Duration of Coverage. Consultant shall procure and maintain for the contract period, and any additional length of time required thereafter, insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property, or financial loss which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the Work hereunder by Consultant, their agents, representatives, employees, or subconsultants.
Professional Services Agreement
Cotton, Shires and Associates, Inc., a California corporation
Primary/Noncontributing. Coverage provided by Consultant shall be primary and any insurance or self-insurance procured or maintained by City shall not be required to contribute with it. The limits of insurance required herein may be satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and non-contributory basis for the benefit of City before the City’s own insurance or self- insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.
City’s Rights of Enforcement. In the event any policy of insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced, City has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary, and any premium paid by City will be promptly reimbursed by Consultant or City will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from Consultant payments. In the alternative, City may cancel this Agreement.
Acceptable Insurers. All insurance policies shall be issued by an insurance company currently authorized by the Insurance Commissioner to transact business of insurance or is on the List of Approved Surplus Line Insurers in the State of California, with an assigned policyholders’ Rating of A- (or higher) and Financial Size Category Class VII (or larger) in accordance with the latest edition of Best’s Key Rating Guide, unless otherwise approved by the City’s Risk Manager.
Waiver of Subrogation. All insurance coverage maintained or procured pursuant to this agreement shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against City, its elected or appointed officers, agents, officials, employees, and volunteers or shall specifically allow Consultant or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. Consultant hereby waives its own right of recovery against City and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subconsultants.
Enforcement of Contract Provisions (Non Estoppel). Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the City to inform Consultant of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the City nor does it waive any rights hereunder.
Requirements Not Limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type. If the Consultant maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, the City requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the Consultant. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the City.
Notice of Cancellation. Consultant agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide the City with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each required coverage. If any of the Consultant’s insurers are unwilling to provide such notice, then Consultant shall have the
Professional Services Agreement
Cotton, Shires and Associates, Inc., a California corporation
responsibility of notifying the City immediately in the event of Consultant’s failure to renew any of the required insurance coverages, or insurer’s cancellation or non-renewal.
Additional Insured Status. General liability, automobile liability, and umbrella/excess liability insurance policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that City and its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers shall be additional insureds under such policies.
Prohibition Of Undisclosed Coverage Limitations. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to City and approved of in writing.
Separation of Insureds. A severability of interests’ provision must apply for all additional insureds ensuring that Consultant’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions.
Pass Through Clause. Consultant agrees to ensure that any approved subconsultants, subcontractors, and any other party who is brought onto or involved in the project/service by Consultant (hereinafter collectively “Subcontractor”), provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of Consultant under this Agreement. Consultant agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. However, in the event Consultant’s Subcontractor cannot comply with this requirement, which proof must be submitted to the City, Consultant may still be able to utilize the Subcontractor provided Consultant shall be required to ensure that its Subcontractor provide and maintain insurance coverage and endorsements sufficient to the specific risk of exposure involved with Subcontractor’s scope of work and services, with limits less than required of the Consultant, but in all other terms consistent with the Consultant’s requirements under this Agreement. This provision does not relieve the Consultant of its contractual obligations under the Agreement and/or limit its liability to the amount of insurance coverage provided by its subcontractors. This provision is intended solely to provide Consultant with the ability to utilize a Subcontractor who may be otherwise qualified to perform the work or services but may not carry the same insurance limits as required of the Consultant under this Agreement given the limited scope of work or services provided by the subcontractor. Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with Subcontractors, and others engaged in the project and/or services, will be submitted to City for review.
City’s Right to Revise Specifications. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Consultant ninety (90) days’ advance written notice of such change. If such a change results in substantial additional costs to the Consultant, the City and Consultant may renegotiate the Consultant’s compensation.
Self-Insured Retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the City. City reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible, or require proof of ability to pay losses and related investigations, claim administration, and defense expenses within the retention through confirmation from the underwriter.
Professional Services Agreement
Cotton, Shires and Associates, Inc., a California corporation
Timely Notice Of Claims. Consultant shall give City prompt and timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from Consultant’s performance under this Agreement, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required liability policies.
Additional Insurance. The consultant shall also procure and maintain, at its own cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own judgment may be necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the work.

Agenda Item # 5.A.
DISCUSSION: Malibu is at a pivotal point following a series of disasters culminating with the Palisades Fire in January 2025. While these disasters have had an extended impact on City revenues, the City turned to reserves to support the community in its recovery and began work with the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to claim eligible disaster expenditures for reimbursement. Now a year and a half after the emergency, the FY 2026- 27 budget process presented an opportunity for the Council and staff to look at the City’s long-term fiscal health and make decisions to help preserve the City’s strong fiscal standing and ensure the City is prepared to respond to the next emergency.
The FY 2026-27 Proposed Budget for Adoption is the result of careful consideration by the Council and staff through the budget workshop on April 15, 2026, and the presentation of the proposed budget on May 26, 2026. The direction from Council out of these meetings was to preserve valued city services and operations, support disaster recovery, and focus on priority capital improvements while making the necessary budget adjustments to ensure the long-term fiscal health of the City and the community. To achieve this goal, this year’s budget reflects a series of efforts to align operating expenditures with anticipated revenues through the rightsizing of budgets to recent years’ actuals, a reduction of vacant staff positions, and the delay of select Capital Improvement Projects.
The culmination of this effort is a Final Proposed Budget where operating expenditures are funded by anticipated revenues and one-time capital costs rely on General Fund reserves. This continued reliance on reserves is required as City tax revenue streams continue to recover from the disasters, and the City works closely with CalOES and FEMA on disaster reimbursement for eligible expenditures.
By providing a budget that safeguards Malibu’s fiscal resiliency, Malibu can continue to advance critical resilience measures, support those rebuilding to return to their homes, and support a distinctive local economy that provides for Malibu’s residents and families.
The proposed budget positions the City to maintain service levels, advance recovery efforts, and preserve long-term financial flexibility.
Updates to the FY 2026-27 Budget
The final Proposed Budget for FY 2026-27 remains largely unchanged from the Public Hearing for the Budget held on May 26, 2026, except for a handful of personnel updates, Council’s direction on City fees and fines, and funding for grant writing services. These changes are detailed below.
There is also additional revenue added for the Civic Center Wastewater Treatment Facility Phase 2 special fund of $2.3 million. These revenues were identified by the City’s assessment engineer after the May 26, 2026 budget meeting.
Agenda Item # 5.A.
Grant Writing Services
At the May 26, 2026, budget public hearing Council requested that staff look at ways of funding grant writing services to support the City’s ability to pursue funding for needed projects. In response, staff have included $50,000 in the Management and Administrative Services budget for grant writing services. Staff have also worked with CalStrat, the City’s lobbyist, to include these services on a time and materials basis within the City’s agreement as well as explored other opportunities for grant writing services to support these efforts.
Personnel Changes
The proposed budget includes a 2.9% cost of living adjustment for all staff, including the City Manager and the Executive Team. The detailed position changes were presented at the budget workshop in April. In recent weeks, staff have identified three additional staffing changes that are included in the final proposed budget. These changes are all in the Public Works Department and enable the department to staff the public counter, better manage capital projects, and maintain City Hall and other City facilities. These changes include:
· 1.0 FTE Engineering Technician – The Public Works department currently has a 0.5 part-time engineering technician. By making this position fulltime, the department is now able to staff the public counter during most public counter hours and provide more responsive customer service. The cost for this is $92,698 for salary and benefits.
· 1.0 FTE Associate Engineer – The budget proposes to promote one Assistant Engineer to Associate Engineer to better manage the large portfolio of capital projects, including the Snack Shack, and process land development applications.
· 1.0 FTE Senior Maintenance Technician (3 months) – Staff propose funding one Senior Maintenance Technician for three months to overlap with the current Senior Maintenance Technician to provide a smoother transition in maintenance support for City Hall and other City facilities due to a planned retirement. This represents an approximate cost of $35,000.
Status of City Vacancies
In compliance with AB 2561, the City must report on the status of vacant City positions.
To this end, AB 2561 imposed three requirements on local agencies:
1. At least once each fiscal year, an agency’s governing board must hold a public hearing and receive the agency’s report on the status of vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts;
2. During the hearing, the agency must identify any necessary changes to policies, procedures, and recruitment activities that may lead to hiring
Agenda Item # 5.A.
obstacles; and,
3. The agency must allow the recognized employee organization for a bargaining unit to make a presentation at the hearing.
The last requirement does not apply to the City because there are no bargaining units.
However, the first two requirements do apply because they are not contingent upon the existence of a bargaining unit.
As part of the FY 2025-26 budget process, the City Council approved a total of 128.58 Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) positions. The list of staff vacancies and the dates they were filled is provided below.

During FY 2025-26, the City successfully completed several key recruitments, including the onboarding of a City Manager, Assistant City Manager, Assistant to the City Manager, and Code Enforcement Manager. Four additional recruitments have advanced to the final phase of the recruitment process, and employment offers are anticipated to be extended to successful candidates prior to the close of FY 2025-26. These positions are identified in Attachment A.
Currently, 11 full-time and continuous part-time positions remain in various stages of recruitment due to recent staffing changes, including separations, resignations, and other workforce transitions. A detailed status of each position is provided in Attachment A.

9. Environmental Sustainability Analyst
10. Building Inspector

AB 2561 also requires that during the hearing, the City must identify any necessary changes to policies, procedures, and recruitment activities that may lead to hiring obstacles. There are currently no changes to policies and procedures that present obstacles in the hiring process. In fact, staff have seen an increase in the number of qualified applicants for the majority of recruitments since last year.
The City continues to take steps in support of recruitment and retention. Recent efforts include: expanded outreach for potential candidates through Job/Career Fairs; digital marketing through LinkedIn and other social media channels; strong affiliation with Governmentjobs.com as part of the NEOGOV Applicant Tracking System; updated job descriptions for each job announcement posted; adjustments in salaries through the budget process; improvement in medical and other employee benefits; alternative work schedules; updates in technology; assistance from an HR consulting firm that provides ondemand HR services; and an enhanced focus on Employee Engagement and Wellness Activities to promote employee wellness and work-life balance.
City Fee Schedule
On May 26, 2026, Council provided direction on the City Fee Schedule but requested a follow up discussion on the City’s appeal fee. The proposed Schedule of Fees incorporating Council’s direction is attached to this staff report. This schedule includes the updated fees that mirror actual City costs as determined by the fee study as well as cost of living adjustments for the period between the fee study and the current year. However, staff did not adjust the revenue projections in the proposed budget and will return with any necessary revenue adjustments with the mid-year budget.
Following direction from Council on the City’s appeal fee, staff will notice a public hearing on the Schedule of Fees for July 13, 2026. If Council adopts the Fee Schedule at that time, there is a 60-day window before fees would go into effect. Therefore, the proposed fee schedule would go into effect on September 11, 2026.
Agenda Item # 5.A.
It should be noted that the Council adopted the City’s parking fine schedule on May 11, 2026, and therefore those new fine rates will go into effect on July 10, 2026, before the other City fees take effect.
Appeal Fee
To help Council in its decision, staff have compiled some information on appeals and appeal fees. Since 2005, there have been 220 appeals – an average of 10 per year.
During this same period, there were 56 appeals to the California Coastal Commission from Malibu. In 2026, however, the City received 16 applications for appeal, which added to an existing backlog of appeals because of natural disasters. This large number of appeals has necessitated that Council hold a third monthly meeting to process the appeal backlog while managing current City business.
Malibu currently charges $750 for an appeal, which remains the current fee in the attached Fee Schedule. Through the fee study, which concluded in FY 2024-25, the project team calculated the average full cost of an appeal to be $16,503 and 95 hours in staff time as well as costs for professional and legal services. In most jurisdictions, appeal fees are subsidized to allow for fair access to the appeal process.
Staff also surveyed comparable coastal cities to examine their current appeal fees and how they compare with Malibu. The following table outlines this fee comparison.
Survey of California Coastal Cities Appeal Fees
City Fee
Huntington Beach $5,046 ($3,656 for resident owner)
Palos Verdes $3,193
Hermosa Beach $3,388 ($3,009 for residential)
Carmel by the Sea $2,190
Ventura $2,000
Laguna Beach $2,000
Carpinteria $1,396
Long Beach $8,915 for applicant/$1,000 for others
Santa Monica $759
Malibu $750
Redondo Beach Up to $500
Manhattan Beach $500
Goleta $482
Dana Point $500 ($250 single family)
As the table shows, Malibu’s current fee is below the average of $1,549 for comparable coastal cities and below fees charged in Huntington Beach, Hermosa Beach, Laguna Beach, and Ventura.
Agenda Item # 5.A.
As Council considers the City’s appeal fee, staff present three approaches Council may wish to consider:
1. Retain the current fee of $750.
2. Adopt a fee based on the average of the surveyed coastal cities. In this instance, the appeal fee would be $1,549.
3. Adopt a prorated fee based on the City’s actual costs. For example, the City could use the fee study as a basis and choose to charge a fee that is 20% of actual costs. In this example, the appeal fee would be $3,300.
Of course, these are only presented to help the Council in its discussion. The Council may wish to set the fee at any level provided it does not exceed the actual costs of $16,503 incurred by the City as shown by the rate study.
General Fund Grants
The City of Malibu’s General Fund Grant Program provides funding to nonprofit organizations that benefit residents of the community. Program funds are appropriated annually from the City’s General Fund. As part of the FY 2026-27 budget process, the City Council is appropriating $150,000 for the current grant cycle. On June 3, 2026, the Administration & Finance Subcommittee (A&F) reviewed the FY 2026-27 grant applications. The City received 33 applications requesting a total of $651,407. During its meeting, the subcommittee heard public speaker testimony and formed a list of recommended award amounts, which are detailed below. These recommendations are now presented on the next page for review and approval as well as in the attachment.
Malibu Film Society FY 2025-26 Allocation
The Malibu Film Society has $10,500 in grant funds from the FY 2025-26 cycle that remain unspent. The delay in using these funds was caused by the December 2025 flooding at City Hall and subsequent direction from City staff that hosting film events was not feasible until repairs were made. This prevented the Film Society from hosting planned programming funded by the grant.
A&F recommended awarding the Film Society $12,000 for the FY 2026-27 grant cycle.
However, the terms of the FY 2025-26 Agreement with the Film Society provides the City with discretion to withhold future grant applications if existing funds remain unspent. As a result, staff seek direction regarding how to address the unused grant funds. Staff are prepared to work with the Film Society to ensure the remaining funds are utilized for their intended purposes during FY 2026-27 if that is Council’s direction.

Agenda Item # 5.A.
Gann Limit
Article XIIIB of the California State Constitution, commonly referred to as the Gann Appropriations Limit, was adopted in 1979 and placed limits on the amount of proceeds of taxes that State and local agencies can appropriate and spend each year. The Gann Appropriations Limit was modified by Proposition 98 in 1988 and Proposition 111 in 1990.
The limit is different for each agency and changes each year. The annual limit is based on the amount of tax proceeds that were authorized to be spent in Fiscal Year 1978-1979, modified for changes in inflation and population. Inflationary adjustments are based on increases in the California per capita income or the increase in non-residential assessed valuation due to new construction. An adjustment is also made based on changes in Malibu’s population. The State Department of Finance provides the population growth factor for both the City and the County, and the City can calculate the Appropriations Limit using the higher of the two factors.
For FY 2026-27, the population growth factor for the County of Los Angeles is -0.64% and the population growth factor for the City of Malibu is -9.70%; therefore, the Appropriations Limit will be based on the County’s factor. The California per capita personal income growth factor is 4.95%, as provided by the State Department of Finance.
The estimated tax proceeds appropriated by the City Council are under the limit. The Appropriations Limit for FY 2026-27 is $38,614,313. This is the maximum amount of tax proceeds the City can appropriate and spend in FY 2026-27. The net proceeds subject to the Appropriations Limit are $32,237,466. The City is under the Limit, or remaining appropriation capacity, by $6,376,847.
The Proposed Budget includes a total of $44,019,414 of proceeds subject to the Appropriations Limit and $34,014,065 of proceeds not subject to the Appropriations Limit.
The appropriations subject to the Limit are reduced for eligible exclusions of $11,781,948, netting $32,237,466 of Appropriations Subject to the Limit.
Section 7910 of the State Government Code requires a governing body to annually adopt, by resolution, an Appropriations Limit for the upcoming fiscal year. Resolution No. 26-45 establishes the Appropriations Limit of $38,614,313 for FY 2026-27.

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.

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.
On February 12, 2020, the La Paz property was dedicated to the City. This property is also a part of AD No. 2015-1.
The FY 2026-27 Budget also includes funding to perform brush clearance and cover service fees on all vacant parcels.

The City of Malibu has used the issuance of Certificates of Participation (COPs) for a variety of purposes including the acquisition of property and capital improvements.

It also used debt to acquire vacant lands including Trancas Field, 23575 Civic Center Way, the parcel located on the southwest corner of Civic Center Way and Webb Way, and the parcel located on the south side of Pacific Coast Highway just east of Heathercliff Road. Rental income from the commercial properties pays for the debt service on Legacy Park. Debt service for City Hall and the vacant lands is paid out of the General Fund. The expenses related to that debt are shown together in one division.

65 PUBLIC SAFETY SERVICES & EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
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.

WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
The Wastewater Management Program administers permitting, plan review, and oversight programs for Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems (OWTS). Wastewater Management staff review development projects for OWTS compliance with Local Coastal Program requirements and state and local laws. The program strives to maintain OWTS as a sustainable method of sewage disposal within city limits. The statewide OWTS Policy establishes minimum requirements for local agencies permitting OWTS, and program staff maintain City codes and OWTS guidelines in conformance with all requirements. Wastewater Management staff also assist City Code Enforcement and Clean Water Program personnel in conducting investigations of wastewater-related spills and illicit discharges.
For Wastewater Management, the FY 2026–27 Budget includes funding for Civic Center Wastewater Facility Phase 2. This program supports residential and commercial property owners in transitioning from septic systems to the City’s wastewater treatment system by providing clear guidance, streamlined permitting, and hands-on assistance throughout the connection process.
The program is funded through the General Fund, with revenue support derived from permit and plan review fees.

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.
