Malibu City Council

Council Agenda Report
To: Mayor Silverstein and the Honorable Members of the City Council Prepared by: Yolanda Bundy, Community Development Director Approved by: Joseph D. Irvin, City Manager
Date prepared: September 14, 2026 Meeting date: September 28, 2026 Subject: Amendments to Professional Services Agreement for Contract Planning Services for Non-Palisades Fire Rebuild Projects RECOMMENDED ACTION: 1) Authorize the Mayor to execute Amendment No. 1 to the professional services agreement with Casswell Consulting, Inc. for contract planning services; and 2) Authorize the Mayor to execute Amendment No. 1 to the professional services agreement with California Coastal Works LLC for contract planning services.

FISCAL IMPACT: Funding for these services is included in the Adopted Budget for Fiscal Year 2026-27 in Account No. 101-2001-5100 (Planning Professional Services) and is for services through Fall 2029.

Casswell Consulting - Through the first two years of the Agreement, the City has expended 79% or $373,000 of the authorized contract amount of $470,000. The amendment establishes an annual not-to-exceed amount of $222,000. The extension requires an increase of compensation in the amount of $346,553, bringing the total budget compensation amount to $816,553.

California Coastal Works – Through the first two years of the Agreement, the City expended 14% or $37,121 of the authorized contract amount of $275,000. Although $237,879 remains under the California Coastal Works contract planning agreement, staff does not anticipate using this contract authority during the extension period. Contract planning work is expected to be funded through applicant deposits. The remaining authority would be used only if needed to maintain service levels in the event the Department loses contract planning resources from another consulting firm. As such, the amendment request does not require an increase in compensation.

The compensation amounts are not-to-exceed amounts and are not guaranteed payments to the consultants. Consultants are paid only for services performed.

Item

The agreements addressed in this report support regular Community Development Department operations. Palisades Fire recovery services are provided under separate agreements and funded through separate Palisades Fire recovery accounts.

STRATEGIC PLAN IMPLEMENTATION: This item supports the City’s 2025-2028 Strategic Plan
Goal 1: Support Community Rebuilding and Long-Term Recovery Objective 1.2: Modernize development policies and procedures citywide to support resilient community development.

Project: Development Policy & Procedure Updates
DISCUSSION: The Community Development Department utilizes contract planning services to augment City staffing, process current planning development applications, and support long-range planning, capital improvement projects, and inter-agency projects. Contract planners have enabled the Department to maintain service levels, address fluctuating workloads, and advance priority projects while permanent staffing needs and operational demands continue to evolve.

On May 24, 2024, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for contract planning services to address staffing vacancies and improve the development review process.

The RFP sought experienced planning professionals to support regular operations and Woolsey Fire recovery. Following evaluation of the proposals, interviews, and negotiations, the City entered into two-year professional services agreements with multiple firms.

The current contract planning agreements expire in Fall 2026. At this time, staff recommends extending the agreements with California Coastal Works LLC and Casswell Consulting, Inc. Amendments to additional contract planning agreements are anticipated to be presented to the City Council for consideration at future meetings.

Consistent with the reduction in the FY 2026-2027 professional services budget, the Department has reduced its overall contract planning resources. Staff continues to monitor established performance metrics, including application processing times and workload, to evaluate the impact of these reductions and ensure service levels are maintained.

The consultant firms considered under this report provide for a total of two contract planners, who are currently assigned to more than 85 planning applications in various stages of the permitting process, including approximately 40 applications under active review. In addition to planning applications, the consultants are assigned long-range planning projects.

Given the Department’s current workload and continued focus on wildfire recovery, staff recommends extending the existing agreements rather than conducting a new 2

procurement at this time. During the two-year extension, staff will continue to monitor workloads and processing times and evaluate the appropriate use of contract planners as staffing levels change. Staff will conduct a new competitive procurement for contract planning services before the extended agreements expire.

CONCLUSION: Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the Mayor to execute amendments to the agreements with Casswell Consulting, Inc. and California Coastal Works, LLC for two additional years.

Approved by: Joseph D. Irvin, City Manager
Date prepared: September 2, 2026 Meeting date: September 28, 2026 Subject: Malibu Library Set Aside Funds for Fiscal Year 2026-27 RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve the use of Malibu Library Set Aside Funds for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-27.

FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact on the city with this action. Malibu Public Library services are paid from a designated portion of property tax. Every year, the County of Los Angeles sets aside the difference between the property tax dollars apportioned to the County Library from property within the City and Malibu Library expenses into a designated fund to solely improve Malibu Library facilities and services. The ending balance for Set Aside Funds as of Fiscal Year 2024-25 totaled approximately $28,453,723; this includes a surplus of $3,486,774. Total recommended budget for FY 2026-27 is $1,838,750.

STRATEGIC PRIORITY: N/A
DISCUSSION: The designated Library Set Aside funds are used solely to improve upon, or to provide additional Malibu Library facilities and services.

The Library Subcommittee convened on March 31, 2026 and September 2, 2026, to review and provide a recommendation on the expenditures for FY 2026-27. The total recommended budget is $1,838,750 for FY 2026-27 (Attachment 1).

The proposed expenditures include community benefits that have historically been approved by Council, including additional service hours, security guards, an outreach librarian, a teen librarian, the Malibu Library Speaker Series, the Tool Lending Library, the City Council Meeting

Boys & Girls Club of Malibu programs, and public-school library programs. The funding request for continued services is $1,385,000.

The Library Subcommittee also recommends funding additional community programming:

1. Malibu Film Society Series ($85,000)

2. Santa Monica Mountains (SAMO) ($85,000)

3. Malibu Monarch Project ($83,750)

4. Malibu Boys & Girls Club Youth Resilience and Preparedness Initiative ($200,000) The funding recommendations approved by Council are subject to approval by the Los Angeles County Library. Library staff have been involved in the review of the budget proposals to date.

To receive funding, programs must have an appropriate correlation with library services and programming. Therefore, prospective applicants worked closely with library staff during the review process to ensure proposed programming and services aligned with library criteria.

While the Fiscal Year 2026-27 recommendation process for Library Set Aside Funds was delayed, staff anticipate returning to the prescribed schedule for FY 2026-27, which will begin with the Library Subcommittee meeting this October to review priorities to bring to Council in December. Specific recommendations will then be presented to the Subcommittee in March and presented to the Council in April next year.

BACKGROUND: The Malibu Library was established in 1970 by the County of Los Angeles and is located on the county-owned civic center property. On September 2008, the City and County executed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that governs the use of the Set Aside Funds. The MOU established a structure in which the expenditure of the excess funds generated from the taxes that Malibu residents pay could be spent on the Malibu Library.

To optimize the allocation of local property tax dollars and provide the maximum benefit to the Malibu community, the City has conducted two comprehensive library needs assessments (2005, 2018) in collaboration with the County Library.

Introduction
The 2024 - 2025 year was defined by wildfire, as Malibu Library once again faced the destruction of homes and businesses in the Malibu community. Following the Franklin Fire in December 2024 and the Palisades Fire in January 2025, the library responded with a modified program calendar and opened its meeting room to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and other rebuild activities.

As 2025 slowly returned to normal, Malibu Library continued to provide the community with new and popular materials; programs for children, teens, and adults; and outreach events throughout the city of Malibu. First established in 1970 and renovated in 2012, the library building continued to draw community members from all areas of Malibu for enrichment, socializing, studying, and learning.

17 BACKGROUND INFORMATION

ON LIBRARY SET ASIDE FUNDS
The Malibu Library was established in 1970 by the County of Los Angeles and is located on the county-owned civic center property. On September 2008, the city and county executed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that governs the use of the Set Aside Funds. The MOU established a structure in which the expenditure of the excess funds generated from the taxes that Malibu residents pay could be spent on the Malibu Library.

On March 26, 2018, the City and the County amended the MOU extending the term to 2044, with two possible five-year extensions. This report provided an update on those recommendations and on the Library Needs Assessment requested by Council.

The MOU sets a clear annual Library Set Aside Fund review timeline for council and staff meetings with the purpose of reaching an agreement on an expenditure program for the Set Aside Funds in the next fiscal year; however as noted in the MOU, these meetings are advisory in nature and not intended to divest the County Library, or the County of Los Angeles, of any authority to control or use Set Aside Funds.

18 Guidelines for Use of Set Aside Funds for the Malibu Library The following document is a brief guide to the existing practices for usage of the Set Aside Funds for Malibu Library, including use restriction, guidelines for any proposals for use of set aside funds, the review and approval process, and examples of current or recent uses for on-site improvements and off-site programs and services.

Use Restriction of Set Aside Funds
Set Aside Funds derived from property tax revenues allocated for public library services constitute restricted public funds and must be used solely to support public library facilities, programs, and services. Consistent with California law, including Article XVI, Section 6 of the California Constitution such funds must serve a clear public purpose within the County’s authority and may not be used for non-library municipal services or general community programs that fall outside the scope of public library functions. All proposed uses must demonstrate a direct and substantive connection to core public library services, including access to information, literacy education, and lifelong learning.

In addition, off-site programs must be directly tied to and delivered as an extension of LA County Library services, including active involvement of library staff and alignment with library program models.

Set Aside Funds may be used for both one-time improvements at the Malibu Library, such as capital improvements and materials purchases, and for on-going service enhancements at the Library, such as increased Library hours on Sunday or increased staffing levels.

Expenditure of any Set Aside Funds are subject to, and conditioned upon, ongoing approval by the County's Board of Supervisors, but does not supersede the requirement that expenditures must comply with the restricted purpose of the funds as dedicated to public library services.

Guidelines for Proposals for Use of Set Aside Funds

1. Any proposal should demonstrate a clear nexus to public library programming and services, and benefit the communities served by LA County Library and/or Malibu Library, by:
a. OQering a program or service at the Malibu Library or another publicly accessible space suitable for public library programming (e.g. City Hall, City Parks, or other venues easily accessible to the general public); b. Providing a program or service for the community that includes the cooperation, involvement, and/or participation of LA County Library staQ; c. Including program or service elements that further literacy (including but not limited to information, digital, media, cultural, financial, health, and 19 ATTACHMENT 6
functional literacies), education, and/or lifelong learning within Malibu and LA County, in a manner consistent with the role of a modern public library.

2. Any proposal for a program or service utilizing Set Aside Funds should clearly indicate or include:
a. Any/all partners involved in the program or service; b. A detailed budget;
c. Program outcomes and goals that demonstrate a benefit to the community; d. Demonstrate a clear nexus to public library programs or services, as outlined above.

All uses described above must remain consistent with the intended purpose of Set Aside Funds as supporting public library facilities, programs and services.

Review, Approval, and Procedures
Any proposed use would be evaluated through a professional lens to determine whether it represents an expansion, enhancement, or new development in programs or services that LA County currently offers, or more broadly within the larger public library sphere. Each request is reviewed and approved by Library Executive Leadership, is subject to review by County Counsel, and may require approval by the LA County Board of Supervisors. Mutual approval by the City is demonstrated per City procedures, including review and approval by the Library Subcommittee and City Council.

Proposed programs and services should include a proposal with the items outlined above, including a detailed budget. Once a proposal is mutually approved by City and County, the requesting organization should contact the City ahead of procuring items or incurring costs to ensure that they are allowable expenses for Set Aside Fund use. After City review and approval, City staff forward the proposed costs to County staff for their review and approval.

Example of Set Aside Funds Uses for on-site improvements

1. Security guards at the Malibu Library

2. Additional StaQing for programming and outreach

3. Expanded hours (e.g. two additional evenings a week and Sundays)

4. Malibu Speakers Series

5. Expansion of Tool Lending Library program at Malibu Library

6. StaQ development, including but not limited to conferences, trainings, etc., for Malibu Library and LA County Library staQ to enhance their ability to provide programs and services to the community
Set Aside Funds have also been used to extend Library Services off-site, upon mutual review, agreement, and approval between the City and County. 20 Examples of Set Aside Funds Uses for off-site programs and services that have successfully met the guidelines and demonstrated a nexus to LA County Library programs and services

1. Supporting student access to reading materials, printers, and copiers at Malibu schools.

2. Supporting informational databases for Malibu school students consistent with those oQered in public libraries, including film databases, literacy learning tools, and historical research.

3. Supporting the Malibu Boys & Girls Club services to youth to provide programming at the BGC location and allowing the purchase of books, technology equipment, and developmentally appropriate toys, puzzles, games, and sensory items. We also support expanded learning at the BGC such as the Wellness Center, which oQers trauma informed learning opportunities and mental health services for youth, which is consistent with Library work to expanding partnership County of Los Angeles Department of Mental Health.

4. Malibu Local Authors and Poetry events, which are held at the Malibu Library and extended to City Hall to accommodate additional residents or equipment needs.

Date prepared: September 2, 2026 Meeting date: September 28, 2026 Subject: Malibu Library Set Aside Funds for Fiscal Year 2026-27 RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve the use of Malibu Library Set Aside Funds for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-27.

FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact on the city with this action. Malibu Public Library services are paid from a designated portion of property tax. Every year, the County of Los Angeles sets aside the difference between the property tax dollars apportioned to the County Library from property within the City and Malibu Library expenses into a designated fund to solely improve Malibu Library facilities and services. The ending balance for Set Aside Funds as of Fiscal Year 2024-25 totaled approximately $28,453,723; this includes a surplus of $3,486,774. Total recommended budget for FY 2026-27 is $1,836,200.

STRATEGIC PRIORITY: N/A
DISCUSSION: The Malibu Monarch Project revised its funding request from $83,750 to $81,200. Attachment 1, Proposed Budget for FY 2026-27, was updated to reflect this change, reducing the total FY 2026-27 budget from $1,838,750 to $1,836,200.

Date prepared: September 8, 2026 Meeting date: September 28, 2026 Subject: Resolution Extending the Declaration of the Existence of a Local Emergency Regarding Conditions on Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution No. 26-65 extending the declaration of the existence of a local emergency related to the continued elevated presence of reckless and illegal driving on Pacific Coast Highway and directing staff to coordinate efforts with other governmental agencies to increase attention and create programs to reduce the risk and danger associated with Pacific Coast Highway in the City.

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

STRATEGIC PLAN IMPLEMENTATION: This item supports the City’s 2025 Strategic Plan Goal 1 - Support Community Rebuilding and Long-Term Recovery.

DISCUSSION: On November 13, 2023, the Council adopted Resolution No. 23-52 declaring the existence of a local emergency in response to increasing reckless and illegal driving on PCH. The Council last reviewed and extended this declaration on April 27, 2026.

The California Emergency Service Act allows the City to proclaim a local state of emergency when needed to protect the public safety in dire circumstances. The status and use of Pacific Coast Highway (“PCH”) currently constitutes a condition, or threatened condition, of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property within the City of Malibu.

PCH is the City’s main thoroughfare, and each day serves as a commuting route, a residential street, a business corridor, and for persons accessing beaches and other local recreation amenities, a pathway used by pedestrians and cyclists. PCH is a California State Highway (State Route 1) that is managed and maintained by the California Department of Transportation (“Caltrans”) with a posted speed limit ranging between 45- 55 miles per hour in the City. Excessive speeding, reckless driving, unsafe U-turns, and distracted driving caused by cell phone use and other distractions have resulted in City Council Meeting
09-28-26

Agenda Item # 1.B.12
increased collisions with other motorists, cyclists and pedestrians on PCH that have resulted in injury and death.

According to data from the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System obtained through UC Berkley’s Transportation Injury mapping system, between 2018 and 2022, there were 22 deadly crashes on PCH in the City, resulting in the death of 23 people. Data from the California Highway Patrol indicates that there have been 49 fatalities along PCH in Malibu from 2012-22. And finally, the Los Angeles Times has reported that there have been 170 combined deaths and serious injuries to drivers, passengers, cyclists, and pedestrians between 2011 and 2023 along PCH in the City. Further, countless other close calls or near misses from the danger posed by the conduct on PCH are impossible to quantify. Most recently, a crash occurred on PCH resulting in the tragic and unnecessary loss of four Pepperdine University students who were walking along PCH. According to authorities, the driver of the car was allegedly traveling at a speed in excess of 100 miles per hour when his vehicle lost control, sideswiped at least three parked cars, and then crashed into a group of people including the four Pepperdine University students and two others.

These statistics and the most recent tragedy are all consistent with the day-to-day experience of City residents, visitors, officials, and staff. PCH has become increasingly dangerous to residents and visitors due to the common occurrence of drivers speeding, driving recklessly, or driving while distracted. Residents and visitors are now forced to weigh and modify their use of PCH depending on the time of day and other factors (e.g., weather, weekend vs. weekday, existing traffic conditions, etc.) because of the danger posed. Despite efforts by the City and other governmental agencies to improve the safety of PCH, the point has been reached that the risk is just too great. The status quo is no longer acceptable, and action must be taken to mitigate this local emergency.

Safety on PCH is a problem that the City cannot address and fix alone. It will need to work with Caltrans to make changes to PCH itself. PCH is a State Highway managed and controlled by Caltrans. Sections 83 and 90 of the Street and Highways Code state that Caltrans has jurisdiction, possession, control and responsibility for the maintenance of State Highways. Further sections of the Streets and Highways Code make clear that Caltrans is the entity with decision-making power over PCH in the City, including improvements, safety elements and speed limits. Further, Streets and Highway Code section 124 states that it is Caltrans, not the City, that can restrict the use of, or close, a State Highway for the protection of the public.

Furthermore, law enforcement agencies such as the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) and the California Highway Patrol have enforcement jurisdiction over PCH for Vehicle Code violations and other code violations. Given its enforcement jurisdiction over PCH, the City can also work through the LASD to address vehicle code violations and related enforcement action. To effectively effect change, the City must 2

Agenda Item # 1.B.12
coordinate and work together with its other governmental partners to implement strategies and solutions to reduce the danger on PCH for all users.

California Government Code Section 8630 empowers the City Council to proclaim the existence of a Local Emergency when there is extreme peril to the safety of persons and property within the territorial limits of the City. Additionally, California Government Code Section 8634 empowers the City Council to promulgate orders and regulations necessary to provide for the protection of life and property during the time of a Local Emergency.

These statutes codify the constitutional “police powers” of local governments to adopt local legislation designed to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the community. Further, the City’s Municipal Code (Chapter 2.52) establishes the City’s disaster council and policies and procedures for dealing with a local emergency. The City’s purchasing ordinance (Chapter 2.56) allows for greater flexibility when making purchases for supplies or services in response to a local emergency. Thus, a declaration of local emergency provides the City greater flexibility to act expediently when trying to address and mitigate the danger posed by the local emergency. It may also aid in coordination with other governmental entities and allow the City access to other resources.

Government Code Section 8630 requires that the City Council review the need for continuing a local emergency at least once every 60 days until the City Council terminates the local emergency.

As such, City staff recommend adopting Resolution No. 26-65 extending the declaration of the existence of a local emergency. If adopted, the City Council will review, and as needed renew, this action at least every 60 days.

Hazard Severity Zones (VHFHSZ), and establishing criteria for when to terminate the local emergency. The criteria for declaring the existence of a local emergency was set at a Live Fuel Moisture (LFM) of 65% or less, as determined by the Los Angeles County Fire Department Forestry Division for Santa Monica Mountains Chamise.

On August 6, 2026, the Los Angeles County Fire Department Forestry Division posted an LFM of 63% for Santa Monica Mountains Chamise. Therefore, the criteria for declaring an emergency has been met, and staff are prepared to implement the program for reducing the risk of fires associated with individuals engaged in unpermitted camping, which includes:
· Collaborating with the City’s Homeless Outreach Team, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD), and LASD-Homeless Outreach Services Team (HOST) to identify encampments within the areas designated as VHFHSZ, provide outreach, and offer available resources;
· Collaborating with the Outreach Team, LASD, and HOST to provide appropriate notification to those individuals living in hillside encampments of the potential threat to life and the prohibition in effect;
· Collaborating with the Outreach Team, LASD, and HOST to ensure that the VHFHSZ remains free of encampments while also ensuring these efforts do not criminalize individuals living unhoused; and,
· Collaborating with LASD Arson Watch during Red Flag events to watch for signs of smoke columns and fire and communicate early alert and notification of potential wildfire incidents as well as unpermitted activity in canyons and VHFHSZ areas.

Resolution 24-30 also sets minimum criteria for terminating the local emergency, which includes:
· When the City has received a minimum of 2" of recorded rainfall as determined by Los Angeles County Department of Public Works Season Total (October 1- May 1) for the Big Rock Mesa site; and
· The Live Fuel Moisture is 80% or greater as determined by the Los Angeles County Fire Department Forestry Division for Santa Monica Mountains Chamise; and · There has been no Fire Weather Watch or Red Flag Warning in the previous two weeks; and
· When there is no Fire Weather Watch or Red Flag Warning in the extended forecast as determined by the National Weather Service (NWS) California Fire Weather Forecast for either the Malibu Coast or Santa Monica Mountains NRA.

On September 3,2026 , the Los Angeles County Fire Department Forestry Division posted an LFM of 60% for Santa Monica Mountains Chamise.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MALIBU

EXTENDING THE DECLARATION OF THE EXISTENCE OF A LOCAL

EMERGENCY AND CONTINUING A PROGRAM FOR REDUCING THE

RISK OF FIRES ASSOCIATED WITH INDIVIDUALS ENGAGED IN

UNPERMITTED CAMPING
The City Council of the City of Malibu does hereby find, order and resolve as follows:

SECTION 1. Recitals.

A. Wildfires are a frequent disaster in California, causing significant harm and loss to individuals, communities, and wildlife. Malibu is among the areas devastated by wildfire - losing hundreds of homes and acres of vegetation and suffering hundreds of millions of dollars in damages in the 2025 Palisades Fire.

B. A vegetation fire in Malibu at any time of the year poses a danger to life and property. A vegetation fire during a Red Flag event poses extreme peril to the safety of persons and property within Malibu. Historically, the most devastating wildfires in Malibu have occurred between September and January when the wildland and chaparral are at their driest, the Santa Ana winds are most prevalent, and the humidity is at its lowest.

C. CAL Fire has identified three zones based on increasing fire hazard severity:
medium, high, and very high. Considering various factors such as historical fire patterns, proximity to wildland and parkland, abundant chaparral, and severe drought, CAL FIRE has classified the entire area where the City of Malibu is situated as a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (VHFHSZ).

D. Live fuel moisture (LFM) is a common indicator of fire risk and an LFM of 60% or lower is considered critical. Each year, local fire risk conditions have continually hit critical levels. As climate change extends and exacerbates our local fire season, the risk of harm or loss of life for individuals increases.

E. Individuals engaged in unpermitted camping in the VHFHSZ are at significant risk of loss of life due to being trapped by wildfires since they are not likely to receive traditional emergency alerts sent through cell phones. In addition, individuals who are attempting to leave the mountainous region during a wildfire could be trapped by fires that start from the ember cast that precedes the fire front in a wind-driven fire. This situation also increases the risk that emergency responders may have to divert resources from fighting the fire to assist these individuals.

F. Individuals engaged in unpermitted camping in the VHFHSZ may be reliant on fires for everyday activities, including cooking food and keeping warm. These activities increase the risk of nearby brush catching fire and rapidly spreading.

G. Malibu has experienced numerous vegetation fires linked to individuals engaged in unpermitted camping in areas designated as VHFHSZ and in 2021, Malibu experienced more than twenty-three fires attributed to this cause. 4 Resolution No. 26-67

_____________________
H. On June 24, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution 24-30 which established criteria for declaring the existence of a local emergency and initiating a program for reducing the risk of fires associated with individuals engaged in unpermitted camping in VHFHSZ and establishing criteria for when to terminate the local emergency.

I. The criteria for declaring the existence of a local emergency were set at an LFM of 65% or less as determined by the Los Angeles County Fire Department Forestry Division for Santa Monica Mountains Chamise.

4. City staff is directed to work with LASD to remove all individuals engaged in unpermitted camping in any and all areas designated as VHFHZ in Malibu. If necessary to accomplish this object, such individuals should be arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent permissible by law.

SECTION 3. The local emergency shall be deemed to continue and exist until its termination is proclaimed by the City Council. As required by law, the City Council shall review the need to continue the state of emergency every 60 days until this resolution is terminated.

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

STRATEGIC PLAN IMPLEMENTATION: N/A.

DISCUSSION: On July 17, 2023, the Planning Commission approved a tentative parcel map to subdivide two parcels (Assessor Parcel Numbers 4470-012-046 and 4470-012- 002) located at 6301 Trancas Canyon Road (Third Point Land Company, LLC) into four parcels: 6.57 acres (Parcel 1), 6.31 acres (Parcel 2), 6.12 acres (Parcel 3) and 5.86 acres (Parcel 4). Planning Commission Resolution No. 23-34 also approved Coastal Development Permit No. 19-091 for the land division.

approval of the final map. Upon completion of this action, the final map will be recorded with the Los Angeles County Recorder’s Office.

Final approval of the subdivision is a ministerial act upon satisfaction of all conditions of the tentative map approval. The City may only deny approval of a final map where evidence establishes that a condition of the tentative map has not been satisfied.

In conjunction with approval of the final parcel map, the City and the Developer must enter into a Subdivision Improvement Agreement as required by the Subdivision Map Act. As a condition of approval, the Developer is required to construct utility improvements and has posted a bond in the amount of $1,142,782 (Bond No.800287680) guaranteeing construction of the required improvements within the right-of-way.

The improvements include survey monuments, adequately sized water system facilities, including a public fire hydrant, and underground utility improvements approximately located between the intersection of Trancas Canyon Road and Pacific Coast Highway and Lunita Drive. The underground utility improvements also include new conduits, pull boxes, and associated work. The public improvements and project location can be found in Exhibit B of the Subdivision Improvement Agreement.

STAFF FOLLOW UP: Upon Council approval, the City Engineer will execute the Final Parcel Map and submit it for recordation with the Los Angeles County Recorder’s Office.

D.

Agenda Item # 7.A
Council Agenda Report
To: Mayor Silverstein and the Honorable Members of the City Council Prepared by: Tatiana Holden, Assistant Public Works Director/City Engineer Tracey Rossine, Environmental Programs Manager
Approved by: Joseph D. Irvin, City Manager
Date prepared: August 31, 2026 Meeting date: September 28, 2026 Subject: City Hall Solar Power Project
RECOMMENDED ACTION: 1) Receive an update from staff and a presentation from the Clean Power Alliance on the Power Ready Round 2 Program and the proposed City Hall Solar and Battery Energy Storage Project; and 2) Direct staff to continue coordination with Clean Power Alliance to advance the project.

FISCAL IMPACT: No additional appropriation is required at this time. Clean Power Alliance (CPA), through its Power Ready Round 2 Program, will provide upfront and ongoing funding for eligible project costs associated with the proposed solar photovoltaic and battery energy storage systems, including engineering, construction, permitting, operations, and maintenance. Accordingly, there are no upfront or additional costs to the City for the solar and battery energy storage components proposed through the Power Ready Program.

The proposed project also includes electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. The City is eligible for up to $250,000 through CPA's Energized Communities Community Charging Pathway to support eligible EV charging improvements. Eligible expenses may include charging equipment, installation, feasibility studies, infrastructure upgrades, and related technical services.

CPA has identified optional technical services totaling $52,195, which, if selected by the City, would be paid from the City's $250,000 Community Charging Pathway allocation, leaving approximately $197,805 available for eligible EV charging equipment and installation cost.

Agenda Item # 7.A
STRATEGIC PRIORITY: This item supports the City’s 2025-2028 Strategic Plan Goal 3:

Advance Infrastructure Resilience.

Goal 3: Advance Infrastructure Resilience
Objective 3.1: Develop and fund a comprehensive Infrastructure Resilience Plan.

Strategy: Develop local clean generation infrastructure in response to outages, power shutoffs and wildfire risk.

DISCUSSION: The City Hall Solar Power Project has been a long-standing City initiative intended to reduce energy consumption and operating costs, increase the use of renewable energy, and improve the sustainability of City Hall operations. The project was originally included in the City's Capital Improvement Program in 2017, and design plans were completed in 2018. The original project included solar carport structures in the upper City Hall parking lot and EV charging stations.

Following completion of the original design, the project was placed on hold due to funding constraints and competing City priorities associated with recovery from the Woolsey Fire.

Funding was subsequently restored, and in 2023 the City initiated a process to update the previous design to reflect current codes and available technology. In February 2024, rather than proceeding directly with redesign, the City Council directed staff to first conduct a feasibility analysis of the project. In June 2024, the City Council authorized an agreement with Kimley-Horn and Associates to complete that analysis.

Since that time, staff have continued evaluating opportunities to advance the City's renewable energy and resiliency goals, including looking into options from the CPA. The City Council voted to become a member of the CPA in December 2017, and CPA began providing electricity services to Malibu customers in February 2019. Since then, the City's participation in CPA has provided access to programs and incentives supporting renewable energy, energy efficiency, electrification, EV charging, and community resiliency.

Through its membership in CPA, the City became eligible to participate in Power Ready Round 2 Program, a program that provides CPA member agencies and critical community facilities with on-site solar generation and battery energy storage systems. The program is designed to provide clean backup power during outages while supporting broader clean energy and resiliency goals.

CPA evaluated Malibu City Hall and developed a preliminary project scope that includes a solar carport on the northern portion of the upper parking lot, a battery energy storage system, and EV charging infrastructure. The preliminary system includes approximately 48 kW AC of solar capacity and a 43 kW/170 kWh battery system capable of providing approximately eight hours of backup power to selected critical loads. Critical functions identified for the project include the Emergency Operations Center, public broadcast, 2

Agenda Item # 7.A
information technology, and Sheriff's Department operations. The existing emergency generator would continue to serve its designated loads in parallel with the proposed system.

Participation in Power Ready Round 2 Program presents a different project delivery approach from the City's previously contemplated capital project. Under the program, CPA would provide upfront and ongoing funding for eligible solar and battery system costs and would manage engineering, procurement, construction, operations, maintenance, and system performance. CPA indicates that participating agencies would have no upfront or additional costs for the Power Ready solar and battery system. CPA would maintain and operate the system during the 20-year program term. At the end of the term, the City would have the option to purchase the system at fair-market value; otherwise, the system would be removed at no cost to the City.

The proposed project also provides an opportunity to expand EV charging infrastructure at City Hall. The preliminary scope anticipates three Level 2 EV chargers and one EVcapable space associated with the solar carport. Additional EV charging improvements may be supported separately through CPA's Energized Communities Program. Through that program, Malibu has access to up to $250,000 for eligible community charging activities, including charging equipment, installation costs, feasibility studies, and infrastructure upgrades. The implementation of these charging facilities at City Hall would enable the City to transition to more electric vehicles for the City fleet, if it so chooses.

In addition to advancing the City's renewable energy objectives, the Power Ready Round 2 Program would strengthen the resiliency of City Hall by providing solar-powered batterysupported power for selected critical operations during power outages and Public Safety Power Shutoff events. This approach is also consistent with the City's 2025-2028 Strategic Plan objective to develop local, self-sufficient clean generation infrastructure capable of supporting critical services during outages, power shutoffs, and wildfire-related emergencies.

The Power Ready Round 2 Program scope remains preliminary and may be modified as the project advances through design and implementation. CPA's current schedule anticipates selection of the Round 2 project portfolio followed by execution of an MOU and Site Lease Agreement with participating agencies, consultant/vendor procurement, preconstruction activities, and construction. Based on the current preliminary schedule, construction is anticipated between the third quarter of 2028 and second quarter of 2029, with operations and maintenance beginning in the third quarter of 2029.

Staff believe participation in the Power Ready Round 2 Program provides an opportunity to advance a long-standing City priority while significantly reducing the City's responsibility for the capital cost, implementation, and long-term maintenance of the solar and battery systems. The program would also expand the original project from primarily an energy and 3

Agenda Item # 7.A
sustainability initiative into a broader resiliency project capable of supporting critical City Hall operations during power disruptions.

Next Steps: If directed by the City Council, staff will continue coordinating with CPA to advance the City Hall project through the Power Ready Round 2 Program. CPA will present the portfolio of recommended projects to its Board of Directors for approval. If the City Hall project is selected to move forward, staff will work with CPA to finalize the project scope and review the required Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and Site Lease Agreement.

Staff will return to the City Council, as necessary, for consideration of the agreements and any other approvals required to proceed with implementation. Following execution of the required agreements, CPA will manage the subsequent engineering, procurement, construction, and operations and maintenance process for the solar and battery energy storage systems.

Staff will also continue coordinating with CPA regarding opportunities available through the Energized Communities Program to support the proposed EV charging improvements at City Hall. The final project scope, schedule, and associated agreements will be presented to the City Council as the project progresses.

STRATEGIC PLAN IMPLEMENTATION: This item supports the City’s 2025-2028 Strategic Plan Goal 7: Explore New Opportunities for Educational, Cultural, and Recreational Establishments, Community Lands Project.

DISCUSSION: Since January 2026, the Public Parks and Property Ad Hoc Committee (Ad Hoc), consisting of Councilmembers Conrad and Riggins, have been working with stakeholders, design consultants, and staff to review options for the Community Lands Project.

Background
The Malibu Community Lands Project (Project) was established to determine the appropriate use of 61 acres of city-owned vacant land at Heathercliff, Ioki, Triangle Lot, Trancas, and Parcel C at Cross Creek Ranch (La Paz).

The City remains at a relatively early stage in the realization of any amenities on the community lands. The Project has conducted community outreach and leveraged the City’s Parks and Recreation Master Plan adopted in 2013. This plan was informed by community focus groups, interviews, surveys and workshops that outlined the needs and priorities for Malibu’s park system, and identified four areas most important to the community:
· An indoor multi-purpose, multi-generational community recreation space · Additional sports field space
· Development of more places like Malibu Bluffs Park
· More programming and use of oceans and beaches
Following Council’s direction on the Project, a series of community outreach meetings, events, and surveys took place in 2024 and 2025. Council received updates on the Project in October 2024 and January 2026.

Out of this work, Council then provided direction on January 26, 2026, which included:
· Directed staff to work with the Public Parks and Property Ad Hoc Committee to bring back a plan for temporary sports fields on the Ioki Property, specifically including soccer fields
· Directed staff to work with the Public Parks and Property Ad Hoc Committee to explore options for a native plant nursery with the Santa Monica Mountains Fund and a potential communal garden
· Directed staff and the Public Parks and Property Ad Hoc Committee to continue working on the Heathercliff project design and suspend work on the La Paz Parcel C project
· Directed staff to bring back an item to discuss potentially swapping lands in the Civic Center Area with a private property owner
2

Following that direction, the Ad Hoc and staff have been working with the design consultant, Frederick Fisher and Partners, to create a Masterplan Concept Design for a recreation center on the Heathercliff Property and sports playing fields on the Ioki Property. The concept design was based on community feedback and Council direction.

The Masterplan Concept Design is a “first draft” in the project design phase, defining site layouts, circulation, massing and functional flow for the spaces at Ioki and Heathercliff properties. Once the conceptual design is approved, it will serve as the foundation for conducting the necessary analysis to determine what measures are required to realize the project, ensure safe access to the facilities, and any constraints that require design revisions. This includes analysis of studies such as geotechnical studies and traffic and circulation impact studies. This is also a point at which feedback from the community can also inform the design elements of the structures, including the look of the facilities and refining the specific purposes of the space. To place a rough metric on the process timeline, the Ioki and Heathercliff projects are at the end of the first third of the project timeline.

The Parks and Recreation Commission met on July 21, 2026, and the Public Works Commission met on July 22, 2026, to discuss the Project designs, land uses, and proposed land exchange. The staff report for the Commission meetings outlined the Masterplan Concept Design for the Ioki and Heathercliff properties as well as details about a potential partnership with the PaliBu Chamber of Commerce for the Triangle Lot and information about a proposed land swap involving the Ioki Lot and other adjacent lands.

A Joint Meeting was then held on August 12, 2026, with the Ad Hoc, the Parks and Recreation Commission, and the Public Works Commission with the goal to bring forth a consensus regarding the Community Lands Project.

Joint Meeting Feedback
Consensus from the Ad Hoc, Parks and Recreation Commission and Public Works Commission included,
· The importance of these recreational amenities to the Malibu community · Preserving Malibu’s natural elements and landscape, including trees, and creating and maintaining native habitats
· Incorporating the community’s sustainability and resiliency needs, including solar, water resilience, and use of natural materials
· Ensuring access to and from the locations is safe and to mitigate impacts on the surrounding communities to the greatest extent possible Specifically, to each location, the feedback from the Ad Hoc and Commissions included:

Public Private Land Exchange
The proposed land exchange would require the City to exchange the Ioki Property for the Bell and Smith Properties (West of Stuart Ranch Road). Additional research would 3

require the City to review the existing bond financing documents to determine if the land exchange would be feasible.

There was no support for the proposed land exchange, identifying concerns on the constraints of the proposed land offer and the Ioki property’s current location in the Civic Center area.

Triangle Lot
23800 Civic Center Way (Webb Way and Pacific Coast Highway)

1.11 Acres
Measure R and M Funding Parking Requirements: 100 parking spaces The PaliBu Chamber of Commerce approached the City to propose a “Malibu Trolley Lot” on the site (Attachment 1). Following a review of the proposal, there was consensus to add public parking, native gardens, trees, public art, and either a Visitor’s Center or kiosk on the property.

The Ad Hoc is recommending Council review the PaliBu proposal and provide feedback on the site’s development including the concept for a trolley system pilot program. The site could serve as a central hub for a future trolley system that would operate in the Civic Center area. The parking lot would accommodate buses and general parking.

Ioki
23575 Civic Center Way

9.29 Acres
Measure R and M Funding Parking Requirements: 100 parking spaces There was support for permanent multipurpose sports fields, rather than temporary fields due to cost assessments and the temporary facility not meeting quality standards. The permanent preliminary design includes two multipurpose sports fields which are the size of a regulation soccer field that can be used for people of all ages (Attachment 2). In addition to soccer, other sports such as flag football, lacrosse, ultimate frisbee, or volleyball may be played on the site. Staff would also utilize the area for outdoor recreation programs and special events such as movies in the park.

The consensus from the Ad Hoc and Commissions was to initiate the final design and engineering for two multipurpose sports fields, restrooms, parking, sidewalk (along Stuart Ranch Road), walking path, and storage as the first development of the Community Lands Project. The property would have natural seating and shade. Special protection of the existing trees (historical significance) was also recommended.

The preliminary design also included a City maintenance yard and impound tow lot.

While these options would save the City rental expenses, provide income, and assist with accessibility to maintenance equipment and materials, there was an expressed community interest in researching the feasibility of having an aquatics facility on the Ioki 4

Property due to its central location. The aquatics facility could mimic the pool designed for the Heathercliff property and include a lap pool, shallow exercise pool, locker/changing rooms, showers, mechanical room, staff office, and storage. Before reviewing the option to add an aquatics facility, the Ad Hoc recommended an analysis of additional parking requirements and geotechnical studies.

Heathercliff
29136 Pacific Coast Highway
19 Acres
Measure R and M Funding Parking Requirements: 200 parking spaces The Ad Hoc and Commissions supported the development of a multi-generational recreation center with multipurpose rooms, gymnasium, fitness area, locker rooms, kitchen area, and staff offices with dedicated space for Senior programming (Attachment 3). The design includes an option to deploy an Emergency Operations Center (EOC) with accessible loading and unloading zones for materials and vehicles at the recreation center (when needed). The size of the indoor facility is approximately 21,800 square feet.

Outdoor facilities include a basketball court, a bocce court, multipurpose field, playground, restrooms, and picnic areas. The preliminary design also includes an eight (8) lane pool, a shallow exercise pool, outdoor showers, mechanical room, and locker/changing rooms. The Commissions expressed an interest in adding tennis and/or pickleball, which could be reviewed as an added option as part of the next design phase.

A dedicated parking structure for 200 cars is proposed, including a garage with an entry and exit driveway and an elevator. The partially submerged garage is two levels and is required as part of Measure R and M funding. The garage was a design element that had mixed reviews. Ideas to submerge all the parking or provide ground level parking (only) were presented to the Ad Hoc. Factors related to costs or exchanging amenities for ground parking must be considered.

The Ad Hoc and Commissions were interested in changing the facility design to integrate the natural elements and enhance the surrounding habitat, including maximizing the native gardens and trees, over a distinctive building design.

There were also raised concerns about the access to the facility, stressing the importance of a traffic analysis study in this area, and consideration of dedicated Senior parking. Additionally, an understanding of how sustainability and resiliency are considered in the facility design, including the use of solar solutions and cisterns.

The Ad Hoc recommended conducting a traffic study to understand site accessibility and preliminary geotechnical feasibility to determine if all the design elements could be built on the property.

Community Survey
The City launched a community survey on the Community Lands website from July 31 to August 31 to gain additional feedback on the Project. There were 129 responses with most responses from Western Malibu (75 responses) and those in the age range of 60 to 69 (34 responses). All survey responses are on the Community Lands Website, which were relatively positive. Below is a snapshot of responses related to the design concepts on each property.

Question: Do you support the general design concept?
Property Yes No No Answer
Ioki Property 89 35 5
Heathercliff Property 93 29 7
Triangle Lot Property 69 49 11
Parcel C at Cross Creek Ranch (La Paz)
In recent months, there has been a resurgence of interest in exploring a Performing Arts Center on Parcel C. In January 2026, Council directed staff to suspend work on the Parcel C and to focus efforts on the other Community Lands properties.

The Ad Hoc recommends reactivating the work on the preliminary design concept of the Malibu Performing Arts Center with the assistance of the Malibu Arts Commission.

Financing
Funding for the Project, including engineering, permitting, and required studies, has not been identified. Staff are currently working to establish a nonprofit organization to assist with fundraising, naming rights sponsorships, grant procurement, and other financing opportunities to support project implementation.

Based on Council’s direction, staff will develop a budget for the next phase of the project.

ALTERNATIVES: A response from the public meetings included an interest in adding an aquatics facility on the Ioki Property; however, based on needs of the City and maintenance operations, there is value of placing a City maintenance yard and an impound tow lot and at the Ioki Property.

The maintenance yard would serve as a centralized space for Public Works and Parks Maintenance operations, providing secure storage for vehicles, equipment, tools, and materials needed to maintain streets, infrastructure, parks, and landscaped areas. By housing maintenance crews and resources in one location, the facility will improve operational efficiency, reduce response times for routine work and emergency situations, and lower operating costs. Preparations for emergencies could occur on-site, such as prepping sandbags and public pick-up options. Additionally, the proposed maintenance yard would eliminate ongoing rental costs in the Civic Center area, which are over $100,000 annually.
6

On July 14, 2025, Council directed staff to add a temporary, year-round day-use impound tow yard to the property. The Public Safety Commission recommended the site following a multi-year analysis of properties in Malibu. The impound site would accommodate sixty-five vehicles, which is the average number of cars towed daily during the summer months, and vehicles would be removed daily. Site deterrents include a fenced area and privacy screening. Currently the City only tows vehicles in Western Malibu during the summer months. A new year-round program with towing options within City limits is estimated to accrue over $500,000 annually in revenue.

emergency regarding the threat to the entire city from El Niño in order to possibly avoid the need for future emergency declarations during the next several months.

The City has adopted an emergency plan that includes an emergency services structure that is activated in the event of natural disasters. This structure allows the City to respond quickly and coordinate City functions with other public agencies, organizations, and persons affected by the emergency. California Government Code section 8630 and Malibu Municipal Code Chapter 2.52 authorize the City Council to proclaim a local emergency when actual or threatened conditions of disaster or extreme peril exist within the City.

Per Malibu Municipal Code section 2.52.020, an emergency is defined as: “the actual or threatened existence of conditions of disaster or of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property within this city caused by such conditions as air pollution, fire, flood, storm, landslide, epidemic, riot, or earthquake, or other conditions, including conditions resulting from war or the imminent threat of war, but other than conditions resulting from a labor controversy, which conditions are or are likely to be beyond the control of the services, personnel, equipment, and facilities of this city, requiring the combined forces of other political subdivisions to combat.”
Forecasted 2026-2027 El Niño Event
On September 10, 2026, the National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center issued an advisory stating that El Niño is strengthening, with a greater than 90% chance of a very strong event during fall and winter 2026-2027 and a 75% chance of a historic event exceeding the strength of previous El Niño events dating back to 1950. Conditions of this type are historically associated with more frequent and intense rainstorms, flooding, mudslides, landslides, storm surges, coastal erosion, and coastal flooding. Although the precise impacts cannot yet be known, the forecast presents a substantial threat to persons, property, and critical infrastructure throughout Malibu.

El Niño conditions may affect multiple areas of Malibu, including the Palisades Fire burn area, Pacific Coast Highway, and beachfront properties. Heavy rainfall may destabilize burned slopes and increase the risk of flooding, mudslides, and debris flows, while Kelvin waves, high tides, and increased wave activity may worsen coastal erosion. At the August 10, 2026, City Council meeting, staff reported that inspections of 320 beachfront parcels resulted in 23 properties being red-tagged as unsafe. Extreme weather in 2026 has also caused additional coastal erosion and infrastructure damage, including impacts at Escondido Beach and Westward Beach Road.

Malibu Creek and Serra Retreat
Existing sediment and flow conditions in Malibu Creek create threatened conditions of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property in the Serra Retreat neighborhood. In the past, there has been flooding and undercutting along the east bank of the creek and 2

concern that a vegetated midstream island downstream of the Cross Creek Bridge may influence the direction of creek flows toward nearby homes.

Malibu has repeatedly experienced serious damage during strong El Niño and other major storm events. The heavy rains in February 2025 caused flooding and mudslides in the Serra Retreat neighborhood, blocked roadways with boulders, and required the Los Angeles County Fire Department to rescue three residents.

Representatives from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, California State Parks, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, the Regional Water Quality Control Board, and the City met with residents on January 29, 2026, to discuss these concerns. Residents addressed the City Council on September 15, 2026. Conditions remain under evaluation, and the full extent of the threat is not yet known.

The anticipated heavy rainfall may worsen the existing sediment and flow conditions, increasing the risk of flooding, creek bank erosion, mudslides, debris flows, property damage, and loss of access. These hazards can develop rapidly and may leave little or no time for a proper response. Proclaiming the emergency in advance will allow the City to mobilize resources and coordinate with partner agencies as quickly as conditions develop. Early action may prevent or reduce peril to the safety of persons and property.

Effect of the Declarations
If the City Council elects to proclaim the state of emergencies, the declarations are preventive measures based on threatened conditions of extreme peril. They will provide the City greater flexibility to respond without delay, coordinate with other governmental agencies, and obtain resources needed to prepare for, mitigate, and respond to emergency conditions.

If adopted, the City Director of Emergency Services, would be authorized to address any and all impacts and conditions caused by the emergency and to obtain any and all aid and assistance from local, county, state, or federal agencies, including but not limited to aid and assistance pursuant to the California Disaster Assistance Act, California Government Code Section 8690. Each local emergency will remain in effect until terminated by the City Council. As required by law, the City Council will review the need to continue each emergency at least every 60 days.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MALIBU

DECLARING THE EXISTENCE OF A LOCAL EMERGENCY DUE TO THE

THREAT OF EXTREME WEATHER CONDITIONS CAUSED BY THE
FORECASTED 2026-2027 EL NIÑO EVENT
The City Council of the City of Malibu does hereby find, order and resolve as follows:

SECTION 1. Recitals.

A. Condition or threatened conditions of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property have arisen within the City of Malibu due to the forecasted 2026-2027 El Niño weather event. Recent extreme weather events and existing conditions have left portions of the City vulnerable to flooding, mudslides, landslides, coastal erosion, damaged infrastructure, and other hazards that are likely to be worsened by the anticipated El Niño weather; and
B. On September 10, 2026, the National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center (NWSCPC) issued an advisory that El Niño is strengthening, with a greater than 90% chance of a very strong event during the Northern Hemisphere fall and winter 2026-2027. The advisory states that there is a 75% chance of a historic event that would exceed the strength of previous El Niño events dating back to 1950.

NWSCPC states that with an event of this magnitude, the chances of experiencing impacts consistent with El Niño are larger, though not guaranteed. The NWSCPC seasonal outlook has raised the probability of above-normal precipitation to above 50% across much of coastal California. These conditions are historically associated with more frequent and intense rainstorms, mudslides, landslides, flooding, Kelvin waves raising coastal sea levels, storm surges, coastal erosion and coastal flooding.

C. Extreme weather conditions caused by El Niño have historically resulted in conditions of disaster or of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property.

Heavy rains in February of 2025 caused flooding and mudslides in the Serra Retreat neighborhood. Boulders blocked roadways, making them impassible. Los Angeles County Fire Department recused three residents, including one who was trapped due to a mudslide. A strong El Niño in the winter of 2023-2024 caused bluff erosion and coastal erosion in western Malibu. A very strong El Niño in the winter of 2015- 2016 required the reinforcement of the Broad Beach Geologic Hazard Abatement District revetment. Extreme weather created by El Niño in the winters of 2004- 2005 and 1997-1998 caused landslides. El Niño weather conditions in January of 1995 resulted in mudslides that destroyed homes and blocked Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu. A strong El Niño in the winter of 1987-1988 caused widespread damage in Malibu including damage from 20 to 25-foot waves. A very strong El Niño in the winter of 1982-1983 resulted in storms that flooded creeks in Malibu, severely damaged both Paradise Cove Pier and Malibu Pier, and damaged more than one hundred Malibu homes. Rainstorms in 1980 caused mudslides in Malibu, and in February and March of 1978, heavy storms damaged 30 homes along beaches in Malibu.

Resolution No. 26-68

_____________________
D. Extreme weather events this year have already damaged and weakened infrastructure in Malibu. There has been at least one powerful South Pacific Swell event in mid to late June 2026 and three significant Hurricanes from July through early September 2026 that impacted the Malibu coastline. The South Pacific Swell event in June caused mild coastal erosion along Malibu’s beaches and was responsible for undermining one aging and compromised seawall on Escondido Beach. Impacts from Hurricane Genevieve, which occurred in Malibu from July 25 to July 30, caused further erosion along the coast, including eight feet of erosion and a partial failure of a road embankment at Westward Beach Road. It also resulted in a complete wall failure at the site of previous damage on Escondido Beach.

E. Recently, on September 8, 2026, due to costal erosion a sinkhole emerged at 31630 Sea Level Drive. Seven nearby residences were red-tagged due to hazardous conditions resulting from the sinkhole, and an additional 24 residences were redtagged due to the loss of safe vehicular access. These circumstances significantly impaired access to affected properties and created conditions requiring immediate emergency response due to conditions extreme peril to safety of people and property.
.

F. The condition of Malibu Creek adjacent to the Serra Retreat neighborhood, exacerbated by the imminent threat of El Niño storm conditions, are likely to necessitate the immediate procurement of equipment, materials, services, and construction work to protect life and property, including without limitation emergency creek bank protection, debris removal, structural and geotechnical assessment, and the repair or replacement of damaged public facilities; and the delay attendant to ordinary competitive solicitation, purchasing, and contracting procedures would imperil public health, safety and property.

G. California Government Code Section 8630 empowers the City Council to proclaim the existence of a Local Emergency when there is extreme peril to the safety of persons and property within the territorial limits of the City of Malibu.

Additionally, California Government Code Section 8634 empowers the City Council to promulgate orders and regulations necessary to provide for the protection of life and property during the time of a Local Emergency.

SECTION 2. It is hereby proclaimed that:

A. The above recitals are true and correct.

B. The City’s experience with El Niño events have demonstrated that prolonged and intense rainfall can significantly exacerbate these existing vulnerabilities, resulting in widespread damage, dangerous conditions, and extreme peril to the safety of persons and property within the City, and forecasts indicate that the anticipated El 5 Resolution No. 26-68

Niño conditions may produce similar impacts, thereby posing a substantial threat to the community and its critical infrastructure.

C. El Niño conditions may affect multiple areas of Malibu, including the Palisades Fire burn area, Pacific Coast Highway, and beachfront properties. Heavy rainfall may destabilize burned slopes and increase the risk of flooding, mudslides, and debris flows, while Kelvin waves, high tides, and increased wave activity may worsen coastal erosion. At the August 10, 2026, City Council meeting, staff reported that inspections of 320 beachfront parcels resulted in 23 properties being red-tagged as unsafe. Extreme weather in 2026 has also caused additional coastal erosion and infrastructure damage, including impacts at Escondido Beach and Westward Beach Road.

D. The conditions of disaster and extreme peril warrant and necessitate the proclamation of the existence of a local emergency.

E. The City Director of Emergency Services, or designee, is directed and authorized to address any and all impacts and conditions caused by the emergency and to obtain any and all aid and assistance from local, county, state, or federal agencies, including but not limited to aid and assistance pursuant to the California Disaster Assistance Act, California Government Code Section 8690.

F. The City Manager, as the Purchasing Officer of the City pursuant to Malibu Municipal Code Section 2.56.040 (B) is authorized to make purchases of supplies or services exceeding sixty thousand dollars ($60,000.00) in compliance with Malibu Municipal Code, Chapter 2.56.

SECTION 3. It is hereby proclaimed that a local emergency now exists throughout the City. It is further proclaimed and ordered that during the existence of this local emergency the powers, functions, and duties of the Director of Emergency Services and the emergency organization of this City shall be those prescribed by State law and by the ordinances and resolutions of this City.

SECTION 4. The local emergency shall be deemed to continue and exist until its termination is proclaimed by the City Council. As required by law, the City Council shall review the need to continue the state of emergency every 60 days until this resolution is terminated.

SECTION 5. This Resolution shall become effective immediately upon its passage and adoption.

SECTION 6. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this resolution and enter it into the book of original resolutions.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MALIBU

DECLARING THE EXISTENCE OF A LOCAL EMERGENCY DUE TO THE

THREAT OF MALIBU CREEK FLOODING, INCLUDING FROM EXTREME WEATHER CONDITIONS CAUSED BY THE 2026-2027 EL NIÑO EVENT The City Council of the City of Malibu does hereby find, order and resolve as follows:

SECTION 1. Recitals.

A. Condition or threatened conditions of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property have arisen within the Serra Retreat neighborhood due to existing sediment and flow conditions in Malibu Creek and the forecasted 2026-2027 El Niño weather event. These conditions, combined with the neighborhood’s history of flooding, bank erosion, mudslides, and debris flows, are likely to be worsened by anticipated heavy rainfall and may threaten homes, roadways, and other property.

B. On September 10, 2026, the National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center (NWSCPC) issued an advisory that El Niño is strengthening, with a greater than 90% chance of a very strong event during the Northern Hemisphere fall and winter 2026-2027.

It also resulted in a complete wall failure at the site of previous damage on Escondido Beach.

E. On January 29, 2026, residents of the Serra Retreat neighborhood held a virtual meeting with representatives from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, California State Parks, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, the Regional Water Quality Control Board, and the City of Malibu.

Residents shared community concerns related to sediment and flow conditions in Malibu Creek south of the Cross Creek Bridge. Homeowners have experienced past flooding and bank undercutting along the east bank of Malibu Creek and were concerned that a vegetated midstream island located downstream of the Cross Creek Bridge may be influencing flow direction resulting in the threat of flooding to their homes.

F. On September 15, 2026, multiple residents of the Serra Retreat neighborhood spoke at a public City Council meeting, notifying the City Council of their concern about the threat of flooding to their homes due to the condition of Malibu Creek and impending El Niño conditions. Staff continues to evaluate this pressing issue and believes there is the potential for flooding in the described area. This belief is based on many factors, including, but not limited to the projected El Niño conditions and the severity of this weather event, along with the history of flooding in the described area.

G. Heavy rains in February of 2025 caused extreme peril to the safety of persons and property Serra Retreat neighborhood. The heavy rains caused major flooding and mudslides. Boulders blocked roadways, making them impassible. Los Angeles County Fire Department recused three residents, including one who was trapped due to a mudslide.

H.
