Meeting 04-09-26

Item 3.A.

Meeting date: April 9, 2026

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Provide a recommendation to the City Council to approve the
revisions to the job specification for the Public Safety Director.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact from this action. The Public Safety Director
position is included in the Adopted Budget for Fiscal Year 2025–2026. If approved, the
revised job specification will be utilized for recruitment efforts in anticipation of the
upcoming retirement of the current Public Safety Director.
DISCUSSION: The Public Safety Department is requesting approval of revisions to the
Public Safety Director job specification to reflect the recent organizational restructuring of
the Department. As part of this restructuring, the Code Enforcement Division has been
realigned under the Public Safety Department, resulting in expanded operational
responsibilities and an increased span of control for the Public Safety Director position.
These changes do not alter the fundamental purpose of the position but clarify and
formalize the additional duties and leadership expectations associated with the
Department’s reorganization. Approval of the revised job specification will support
organizational efficiency, accountability, and effective service delivery.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: (1) Review the five-year financial forecast and provide
direction to staff to develop the proposed FY 2026-27 budget. (2)Provide direction
on various strategies presented to develop a balanced budget. (3)Provide
direction on updating the City’s fee schedule. (4) Provide direction on priorities for

FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended
action. Direction provided by Council at its April 15, 2026 budget workshop will be
used to develop the FY 2026-27 Proposed Budget.
DISCUSSION:
Introduction
The City of Malibu has prided itself on its excellent fiscal position, sustained by
solid property, sales, transient occupancy, and other taxes, fees and fines, and
investment revenues. This has enabled the City to maintain an AAA credit rating
and build a healthy General Fund reserve, which was essential to supporting the
City’s recovery from recent fires. The impacts of those fires drove the City to
dedicate 22% of the City’s adopted FY 2025-26 budget to disaster recovery, even
as certain revenue streams were negatively impacted.

Page 10 of 68

Agenda Item # 3.B.

Now, over a year out, the City must take stock of its fiscal position and establish a
long-term strategy to ensure financial resilience, prepare to invest in desired
community amenities, and be ready for the next disaster.
To do this, staff have developed a five-year forecast to strategically plan and
prioritize Malibu’s budget. This effort found that while Malibu’s revenue streams
are anticipated to recover, the growth of existing expenditures, if left unchanged,
would outpace revenues through the forecast period and beyond. This is driven
largely by:
• Federal government reimbursements are severely delayed and staff expect
that the City will not see major portions of the reimbursement until FY 202930
• Sales and Use Tax and Transient Occupancy Tax revenues continue to be
impacted following the fires
• Costs associated with employee retirement, healthcare, and insurance
outpace the growth rate of revenues
• Property tax revenues, the City’s largest revenue stream, are experiencing
modest growth now as fire-related reassessments and appeals offset
assessed value increases
• Costs for many areas of City business, including construction and
maintenance, legal services, insurance, technology and other areas have
been impacted by inflation, tariffs and industry changes
Therefore, staff are in the process of identifying a series of measures to balance
the City’s expenditure plan with anticipated revenues to mitigate impacts to the
General Fund balance as well as create better alignment of City operations and
services. These will be presented at the City Council Administration and Finance
Subcommittee (A&F) meeting as well as the Council’s budget workshop on April
15, 2026.
The drop in General Fund reserves to nearly 50% of the City’s adopted budget this
fiscal year is driving staff to propose an operating budget that greatly reduced the
City’s reliance on General Fund reserves by looking at rightsizing department
budgets, reducing the City’s staff count by defunding vacant positions, realigning
City operations, proposing an update to City fees, and engaging Council in a
discussion on various policies to generate additional revenues and prioritize capital
investments.

Agenda Item # 3.B.

This report outlines where the City’s fund balance is anticipated to be at the end of
this fiscal year, covers the five-year forecast, and seeks direction on priorities and
strategies to guide staff in developing the proposed budget, which will be
presented at the May 26, 2026 Council meeting.
The outlook for Malibu remains very strong. This community’s careful preservation
of its rural character and coastline make Malibu one of the most desirable
destinations to live and visit. And with strategic thinking, the City can continue to
provide high quality services, support our community’s recovery, focus on adding
key community amenities, and begin preparing the City to be ready for the next
disaster.

City’s General Fund Balance: Assessing the Budget Impacts of the Fires
The Franklin and Palisades fires destroyed or damaged 770 structures in Malibu,
displacing many residents and businesses. The Palisades fire in particular
destroyed homes and businesses from hilltop down to the ocean, decimating an
extended portion of eastern Malibu. Due to the complexity of the cleanup and the
damage in the area, the Pacific Coast Highway was then closed to Malibu from
Santa Monica and Los Angeles for another five months, further delaying the City’s
economic recovery.
The City immediately embarked on a major rebuild initiative, dedicating $34.7
million in FY 2024-25 and FY 2025-26 to supporting the recovery from the Woolsey,
Franklin, and Palisades fires- shoring up Malibu’s infrastructure and providing
dedicated services to impacted residents and businesses. Funding these services
is a critical part of the City’s role in supporting the community through a disaster,
and is done so in anticipation of some reimbursement of funds from the State and
federal governments.
The Fiscal Year 2026-27 budget presents the opportunity to move into the next
phase of the disaster response, continuing to dedicate services to help residents
rebuild, supporting the local economy to ensure there are amenities and services
to meet the needs of Malibu families and residents, prioritizing community needs,
and assessing the long-term impacts of the City revenue streams on City
operations and reserves.
This comes at a time when the City has received limited reimbursements from the
federal government for its qualifying disaster expenditures and the Department of
3
Page 12 of 68

Agenda Item # 3.B.

Homeland Security remains without funding, further delaying City efforts to seek
these reimbursements. Complicating the fiscal situation, staff have looked at the
projected impacts to City tax streams for the next five years and the level of homes
and businesses impacted by fire. The number of residents displaced and that will
be displaced for some time, combined with concerns about a return of inflation and
an economic slowdown mean Malibu’s recovery is anticipated to take longer than
it did following previous disasters.
The City’s residents are key to supporting the local economy year-round as visitor
rates fluctuate throughout the year. To support the rebuilding and reoccupying of
homes, the City has actively engaged displaced residents through community
meetings, the opening of the Rebuild Center, and the waiving of fees for those
rebuilding homes of a similar size to those destroyed by the fire. Through these
efforts, it is anticipated that Malibu will see a steady return of those able to
reoccupy homes over the next five years.
Meanwhile, the fires have impacted the City’s revenues and financial position in a
myriad of ways. Key tax revenue streams are down or have grown at lower rates
than previously anticipated, including property tax, sales, and transient occupancy
tax. Particularly impacted is transient occupancy tax from short-term rentals, many
of which were destroyed by the Palisades fire. In addition to these revenue
streams, the City had to rely on reserves to balance the budget, reducing the
amount of funding in its investment portfolio, thus reducing the amount of revenue
the City generates from investments. This revenue stream will recover as the City
rebuilds its reserves.
As a result of the fires and the City’s committed response, the City’s General Fund
has gone from $83.8 million at the end of FY 2024-25 to a projected amount of
$54.9 million at the end of this fiscal year.

Financial Forecast and Budget
Given the unique circumstances Malibu finds itself in following the series of
disasters, staff undertook to develop a five-year forecast to help illustrate
projections of key revenue streams and expenditures with the goal of serving the
community’s most important needs while preserving the City’s fiscal position.
Throughout this section, the report illustrates the five-year financial forecast as well
as the various factors affecting Malibu that were used to inform the forecast.
4
Page 13 of 68

Agenda Item # 3.B.

The challenges that Malibu is facing are unique and their influence on the budget
far exceed national, State and even regional economic factors. However, there is
merit in looking at the overall economic picture to gauge headwinds that might
further impact Malibu in its recovery. Recent forecasts, such as the UCLA
Anderson Spring 2026 Forecast for the US and California, issued on March 4,
2026, have already been eclipsed by the continuing war in Iran and the significant
uncertainty that it is bringing into the economic and geopolitical landscape. While
the Anderson forecast projected stronger growth due to the end (at least in the
near-term) of tariff hikes, new income tax cuts included in the One Big Beautiful
Bill Act (OBBBA), AI capital investment and lower interest rates, the Organization
for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has recently forecast that
inflation will rise to 4.2% in 2026, up from the Federal Reserve’s most recent
forecast of 2.7%.
Tourism, a very important economic driver for this region, is down overall due to
the current administration’s restrictions on international visitors. According to the
World Travel and Tourism Council, while tourism grew worldwide last year, the
United States, recording a 6% drop, was the only major destination showing a
decrease in foreign visitors. The effects of the government shutdown on airport
security lines and anticipated higher airfares due to spikes in gas prices because
of the war will further erode travel. While the region is hosting the FIFA World Cup,
economists are not expecting that international visitors for this and other 2026
events will make up for the declines. When looking at the impact of the LA28
Olympics, Anderson economists anticipate increases in hotel and short-term rental
rates (Paris rates showed increases of 141% and 44%, respectively) and in
occupancy (Paris showing a 20% increase in hotels and 58% increase in booked
nights for short-term rentals).
While these global influences are important, staff dedicated most of their analysis
to local trends and data points, engaging with City tax advisors to review projects
for sales and property taxes. Staff also reviewed actuals for all City tax and fee
revenues. On the expenditure side, staff considered anticipated rates of inflation,
the impacts of tariffs and global unrest as well as growing healthcare, insurance
and pension costs.
Staff combined all of these factors – the impacts of the fire, the outlook on the local
economy, performance of City revenues, and increases in costs for operations to
develop the three scenarios within the five-year forecast. Staff seeks Council’s
5
Page 14 of 68

Agenda Item # 3.B.

direction as to which forecast scenario staff should base the FY 2026-27 proposed
budget – current trajectory, 7% reductions or 10% reductions.
Forecast-Revenues
The forecast anticipates that most City revenue streams will recover and provide
a solid foundation for the City. There are two notable exceptions – Transient
Occupancy Tax will remain below pre-fire levels because of the large number of
short-term rentals no longer available, and investment income will also remain
below pre-fire levels until the City is able to replenish its reserves.
Overall, revenues were adjusted by an anticipated inflation rate of 2-3%, which
includes some variances. Staff anticipates that reimbursements from the federal
government will remain modest until FY 2029-30 when larger reimbursements will
start to be seen. It should be noted that, while Malibu diligently works to comply
with federal regulations, the timing of this funding stream remains very uncertain.
Table 1: City Revenue Streams
Tax
Property Tax

Outlook
At the FY 2025-26 mid-year budget, staff recommended
increasing the revenue estimate for property taxes by $1
million, to $20.4 million. Staff anticipate revenues will come
in around that estimate this fiscal year. Staff also anticipate
some level of growth in property tax revenues in FY 2026-27
due to the relatively large number of properties for sale
followed by growth of approximately 2-4% annually. It should
be noted that properties destroyed or damaged by the fire
had their assessments reduced immediately after the fire.
Several other property owners requested a reduction in their
property taxes due to proximity to the fire and other issues.
Any of those reductions in tax will fully show in the FY 202627 actual revenues.

Sales Tax

Sales tax revenues appear on target to meet the reduced
estimate included in the mid-year budget of $8.2 million.
Sales tax growth is anticipated to experience modest growth
throughout the forecast period because of the significant
number of residents displaced, vacation rentals destroyed,
and businesses damaged by the Palisades Fire.

6
Page 15 of 68

Agenda Item # 3.B.

Transient
Occupancy
(hotels)

Revenue from hotel stays is estimated around the budgeted
Tax $2.5 million in this fiscal year. The forecast includes a
recovery of these revenues to $3.5 million in the next fiscal
year followed by modest growth of 3% as local hotels will be
able to charge premium rates with reduced competition from
short-term rentals during a series of major regional events,
including the Superbowl and the 2028 Olympics.

Transient
Occupancy
(short-term
rentals)

Revenues from short-term rentals were reduced as part of
Tax the mid-year budget to $3.2 million. Staff are concerned
about whether the City will realize this reduced revenue figure
this fiscal year and whether revenues from these rentals will
remain down during the forecast period because of the
relatively large number of short-term rentals destroyed or
otherwise removed from the rental market following the fire.
Nevertheless, staff anticipates some recovery of these
revenues and projects revenues of $3.5 million in FY 202627 followed by modest growth of 2-3%.

Other Taxes

Many of the City’s smaller revenue streams have held steady
over recent years, including franchise fees. Staff do expect a
small uptick in Utility Users Tax revenues due to the
anticipated increase in water rates and increases in energy
prices.

Investments

Investment revenue is expected to come in around $2.8
million. This level of revenue is expected through the forecast
period as the General Fund reserves available for investing
remain relatively flat. Should Council opt to leverage more of
the General Fund reserves, this revenue project will be
revised downward.

Federal
Reimbursements
and
Revenue
from
Other
Governments

Staff continues to track disaster-related expenditures eligible
for FEMA reimbursement. However, Malibu, along with many
other jurisdictions, is experiencing unprecedented delays in
receiving reimbursements. The current shutdown of the
Department of Homeland Security further complicates this
process.
The forecast anticipates a slow flow of
reimbursements ($1.5 million per year) in the first three years,
followed by larger reimbursements of $10 million per year in
Years 4 and 5 of the forecast. It should be noted that this is
an uncertain funding stream of one-time payments.

City Fees

City fees are doing very well and are anticipated to come in
over budget at $8.2 million for City services and fees,
7
Page 16 of 68

Agenda Item # 3.B.

including building and planning fees. Staff have built in the
anticipated fee schedule increase recommended through a
fee study conducted in FY 2024-25 as well as a catch up of
previous years’ cost of living increases, increasing these
revenues to $10 million in FY 2026-27 and then growing by
3% through the remainder of the forecast period. Revenue
from the City’s speed camera pilot is not accounted for in the
forecast because those revenues must be earmarked for
traffic safety enhancement projects and used within three
years of receipt. Staff continue to evaluate how these
revenues can offset eligible expenditures and advance
eligible unfunded capital projects. These revenues will be
incorporated as the plan for using these funds becomes
better defined.
City Fines

Parking fine revenue is expected to grow from $2.5 million to
$3 million as a result of additional enforcement teams being
deployed by the City’s parking enforcement contractor.
These revenues are anticipated to remain flat through the
forecast period; however, additional revenue may be realized
if changes to the City fine schedule, recommended by the
Public Safety Commission, are approved by Council.

Forecast – Expenditures
The City’s General Fund expenditures fall into three primary categories: City
operations, disaster recovery, and capital improvement. As shown in the figure
below, the City dedicated 22% of the FY 2025-26 budget to disaster recovery and
4% to capital improvement. The remaining 74% was dedicated to City department
operations. Within those, staffing represents approximately one-third of the budget,
including salaries, benefits, and retirement, which is relatively modest when
compared with many cities. However, the City workforce has grown by 22
positions since FY 2022-23, meaningfully increasing the amount of the budget
obligated to staffing costs.
Because Malibu contracts for many services, the operating budget also includes
sizable contracts for Sheriff, CHP enforcement, legal services, waste disposal,
parking enforcement, street maintenance, landscape maintenance, and for the
City yards, among other services. These contracts have all steadily grown in recent
years due to the impacts of inflation, tariffs, and a competitive labor market.
Likewise, the cost for technology and software licensing has also seen a marked
increase in recent years. While inflation remains around 3%, there are risk factors
from global unrest and increasing oil prices that are pointing to an uptick in inflation
rates, which would add further pressure to City expenditures.

Agenda Item # 3.B.

Staff anticipate that expenditures from disaster recovery will be approximately $5.4
million in FY 2026-27 and will wind down over two years. Other factors driving
costs are supporting employee salaries, healthcare and retirement, which grows
between 8-10%, outpacing normal inflation. Other expenditures are anticipated to
grow at 3-4%, which is the current average rate of inflation. Taken together, the
forecast anticipates operating expenditures will grow at a rate of about 6%. The
forecast also assumes a limited General Fund-funded capital improvement
program, planning $2 million per year for future projects. The City will continue to
advance other projects funded by non-General Fund sources.
Forecast – Making No Changes
When all is factored together, while revenues are anticipated to recover,
expenditures outpace projected revenues. This is depicted in the chart below
where revenues (green bar) steadily grow but not at the same rate as expenditures
(blue bar). This then requires the City to rely on reserves to balance the budget,
thereby depleting the General Fund to only $14.1 million in reserves, 17.3% of the
projected budget, at the end of the forecast. If there are further complications in
receiving the $24.5 million in FEMA reimbursements expected in the forecast, it
would worsen the outlook for the General Fund in the forecast and require
significant restructuring of the operating budgets to keep the General Fund solvent.

Agenda Item # 3.B.

Forecast – 10% Reductions
Concerned with the prospects for the General Fund and guided by the City’s
financial policy to maintain General Fund reserves at 50% of the City’s approved
budget, staff analyzed how the City could improve its financial outlook. First staff
looked at revenues and found that, for the most part, they are expected to recover
from the impacts of the fire except where noted above. The challenge concerns
expenditures. To achieve a forecast that maintains a General Fund balance where
it stands today requires a 10% reduction in department operating budgets, the
equivalent of $6.8 million across all departments and disaster recovery as well as
maintaining a more limited capital improvement program. If the City can reduce
expenditures to this level, the City will only have to rely on reserves to support the
limited capital improvement program in the near years and may be in a better
position to fund major community amenities starting in FY 2029-30 with the
increase in federal disaster reimbursements. This scenario leaves the General
Fund with $50.4 million in reserves or 68.5% of the projected budget in FY 203031.

Staff also examined a forecast that preserves the 50% fund balance per City policy.
To achieve this scenario requires a 7% reduction in operating budgets along with
a reduction in the capital program to $2 million per year. This equates to a $4.8
million reduction in the City’s operating budget for departments and disaster

recovery. However, this scenario continues to draw on General Fund reserves to
fund the City budget while assuming the City receives $24.5 million in
reimbursements over the forecast period. This scenario projects the General Fund
with $39.6 million in reserves or 52% of the projected budget.

Preparing for the FY 2026-27 Budget:
Organizational Realignment and Budget Rightsizing and Capital Priorities
To support the City in balancing its budget, staff have undertaken a comprehensive
review of City revenues and expenditures to identify ways to bring down costs
while preserving treasured City services and programs. The result is a
recommended restructuring of the Community Development, Public Safety and
Public Works departments as well as budget efficiencies being identified by staff
through review of vacant positions, city contracts, and other expenditures. Staff
will be prepared to review those measures at the A&F subcommittee meeting on
April 9, 2026. Please note that no layoffs or modifications to employee benefits
were undertaken as part of this exercise.
Realignment of City Operations
To better align City services and operations and better balance operational
responsibilities, staff recommend changes to reporting and teams within the
12
Page 21 of 68

Agenda Item # 3.B.

Community Development, Public Safety, and Public Works Departments. These
changes include moving:
• Code Enforcement to Public Safety – Code Enforcement is a quasi-safety
function and is housed with Public Safety teams in many cities. Aligning
these functions allows the Code Enforcement team to work more closely
with safety partners such as the Sheriff, homeless prevention and fire
departments as well as better support parking enforcement.
• Environmental Programs to Public Works – Environmental Programs
touches on many City public works functions, including water quality, urban
and storm water runoff, as well as making city buildings and operations more
sustainable. Baker Tilly recommended this realignment as part of its 2023
review of the Community Development department.
• Two Analysts from the City Manager’s Office to Public Safety and Public
Works – As part of evolving the Fire Liaison program and preparing the
Public Safety department to undertake major initiatives for safety and
emergency management planning, staff recommend moving one Sr.
Management Analyst from the City Manager’s Office to Public Safety.
Likewise, as Public Works builds out its Administrative team to handle more
grants and manage the disaster recovery reimbursement process, staff
recommend moving one Management Analyst from the City Manager’s
Office to Public Works. These changes allow staff to better utilize existing
positions without the need to create additional positions.
Budget Efficiencies
To achieve reductions in spending, staff are undertaking a review of previous
year’s actuals, reviewing vacant positions, and prioritizing City operations. The
City anticipates expenditures to total $81 million in FY 2025-26, including
operating, disaster recovery and capital improvement. Staff have identified the
need to reduce expenditures to between $67-$69 million to remain within the City’s
fiscal policies during the forecast period. One-time capital projects associated with
fire recovery funded in FY 2025-26 and that do not require new funding next fiscal
year close the gap by $8.8 million, leaving a remaining gap of $3.2-$5.2 million.
To close the gap, departments have been asked to identify ways to reduce their
budgets by 10%. Staff will present a list of recommendations at the A&F meeting
and full Council budget workshop. These reductions involve further right-sizing of
budgets, a review of vacant positions, and review of all city operations.
13
Page 22 of 68

Agenda Item # 3.B.

Capital Program Priorities
The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes a portfolio of projects supporting
the City’s infrastructure, safety, disaster recovery and community amenities. The
roster of projects are funded through a mix of General Fund monies as well as
dedicated funding from special revenue sources. Staff will present a full update of
the Capital Program with the presentation of the draft budget in May but staff seeks
Council’s direction on project priorities.
CIP projects programmed in FY 2026-27 include safety improvements, storm drain
improvements/repair, stormwater treatment and disaster recovery projects. The
majority of these projects are fully funded by Measure M, Measure W and disaster
recovery funding sources. Examples of these projects include the PCH
Improvements – Trancas Canyon Right Turn Lane, PCH Improvements at Big
Rock Drive, Las Flores and Rambla Pacifico Intersections, and Kanan Dume
Biofilter.
The Point Dume Resurfacing Project, Phase I is the annual asphalt resurfacing of
several streets within the Point Dume neighborhood. The project is funded by
Proposition C, Measure M Local Return, Measure R Local Return, RMRA, STPL
and the General Fund. The total project estimate is $1,232,000 with $200,000
from the General Fund. The Encinal Canyon 60-inch Storm Drain Improvements
Project was identified in the 2024 Storm Drain Master Plan. The total project
estimate is $1,000,000 funded from the General Fund.
Partially funded projects include CCWTF Phase 2 and PCH Wastewater Project.
They will be funded with assessment districts which will be formed for each. The
Heathcliff Community Center, Temporary Sports Facility, Malibu Canyon Road
Safety Improvements, the design and construction of the Snack Shack and several
other projects are currently unfunded.
At the budget workshop staff seeks direction on deferring two projects and setting
aside funding for one unfunded community priority project.
Deferrals
• Defer replacement of Land Management System – upon evaluation of
organizational readiness for a project of this scale, staff need additional time
to assess requirements and likely undertake a new competitive bid process.
• Evaluate delay of permanent installation of retaining wall at Latigo Canyon
Road until appeal for FEMA funding reimbursement is resolved and funding
14
Page 23 of 68

Agenda Item # 3.B.

approved. Staff will return with a final recommendation as part of the FY
2026-27 proposed budget in May.
Community Priority
• Dedicate $3.25 million of the General Fund savings from this fiscal year to
dedicate to the design and construction of the Snack Shack.

Economic Recovery:
Supporting Local Businesses for Malibu Families and Residents
In the wake of the fire response, in April of 2025, the City conducted a business
survey to gather insights on how businesses were impacted by the Palisades Fire.
Based on the results of this survey, at its April 28, 2025 meeting, the City Council
approved the creation of a $300,000 Small Business Micro Stabilization Grant
Program to assist local businesses impacted by the fires, winter storms, and
prolonged PCH closure.
To continue long-term recovery efforts, the City engaged Sunstone Cities to
evaluate the impacts of the fires on Malibu’s economy, engage with local
businesses and residents, gather data on Malibu’s business composition and
industry clusters employment to develop an Economic Recovery Strategy. Through
these efforts Sunstone has identified a number of unique aspects to Malibu’s
economy, including the disproportionately large number of home-based
businesses in the area.
Prolonged PCH closures, intermittent power outages, disruptive infrastructure
repairs, delays in emergency disaster reimbursements, and the slow return of
workers and visitors have resulted in fatigue among residents and small business
owners. There is a prevalent fear among residents and small business owners that
outside investors and commercial interests may take ownership of Malibu
properties and change the nature and culture of the community.
Therefore, Sunstone Cities conducted a structured outreach process that built on
the initial business survey to include combined stakeholder interviews, expanded
survey and geographical data, and economic analysis. The process began with
interviews of all City Councilmembers and the Interim City Manager, who also
provided guidance on additional stakeholders to include, ensuring key voices were
not overlooked. Building on this, interviews were conducted with institutional
15
Page 24 of 68

Agenda Item # 3.B.

partners and community organizations, alongside participation in a local business
roundtable to better understand post-fire challenges, ongoing concerns, and the
City’s current efforts.
In parallel, the Business Recovery & Resilience Survey was distributed via a
Google Form, shared through the City’s newsletter, boots on the ground outreach,
and other channels to expand outreach and validate themes emerging from
interviews. Fact-finding has also been supported through collaboration with Dr.
Robert Kleinhenz, Sunstone Cities’ economist consultant, including analysis of
American Community Survey (ACS) data and custom datasets from the
Employment Development Department to better understand local economic
conditions. Together, these efforts provide a well-rounded understanding of
Malibu’s economic landscape and ensure the strategy is grounded in both data
and direct community input.
Based on this research and interviews, residents and small business owners are
looking for strong City leadership to preserve the unique rural community and
culture of Malibu. Sunstone Cities is still gathering and preparing an Economic
Recovery Strategy based on the research and outreach efforts. Therefore, the
Economic Recovery Strategy, in the next phase of work, will develop
recommendations that are tailored, actionable, and effective for Malibu to:
•
•
•
•

Take control of its future
Preserve Malibu for residents and families
Invest in economic recovery to prevent budget cuts and preserve essential
services
Support and uplift legacy businesses

The plan will include recommendations of actions the City can take to encourage
people to patronize local businesses, look at ways to streamline the opening of
businesses, and ways to draw desired services and amenities to Malibu. The plan
will also include recommendations on available funding through various
government agencies and other partnerships to support the recovery.

Supporting City Revenues
Given the long-term impacts of existing revenue streams and the community’s
desire to add amenities and activate community lands, staff have identified areas
to help support revenue generation for Council consideration. These revenues
16
Page 25 of 68

Agenda Item # 3.B.

could also be utilized to rebuild Malibu’s reserves more quickly to help support the
next disaster response.
Updating Existing Revenues
•

Fee Rate Update. In FY 2024-25, the City undertook a comprehensive fee
schedule review.
In May 2025, the Administration and Finance
Subcommittee reviewed these findings, and again reviewed them prior to
this workshop. Fees have not kept up with the increased costs for
maintaining facilities and staffing various services. Therefore, staff seeks
Council’s direction to bring forward an updated fee rate schedule as part of
the budget. The complete proposed fee schedule is attached.

•

Parking Fines. Similar to City fees, staff and the Public Safety Commission
recommend an adjustment of the City’s parking citation rates to help
discourage illegal parking and improve enforcement. Staff seeks Council’s
direction to include an updated parking fine schedule as part of the proposed
budget. This is presented as a separate agenda item.

New Revenue Opportunities
In addition to these fee and fine updates, staff would like Council to provide
direction on two other potential revenue opportunities.
•

Parking Rates. Currently, Malibu does not charge for any public parking.
With millions of visitors traveling within Malibu each year, this is a means by
which to generate much needed funding to maintain the local infrastructure.
Advancements in parking technologies make implementation of paying for
parking a more convenient and visually cleaner experience, via
smartphones or centralized kiosks. There are various options for parking
rates, all of which would need to be studied to evaluate revenue
opportunities. Council also would be able to tailor parking rates and times.
If Council so directs, staff could study parking fees and return with more
information later in FY 2026-27. Any implementation of parking rates would
need Coastal Commission approval and require the implementation of
parking collection equipment. Therefore, it is unlikely the City would
generate new parking revenues until FY 2027-28.

17
Page 26 of 68

Agenda Item # 3.B.

•

Development Impact Fees. Another area for fee generation is the
implementation of Development Impact Fees. These fees are one-time
charges levied by a local government on new construction projects to fund
public infrastructure, such as roads, parks, and schools. Malibu is one of the
few cities that does not include these fees for developers. Most neighboring
cities generate considerable revenue and both Thousand Oaks and Beverly
Hills are considering revamping their development fee structures. If Council
directs, staff could further study the opportunities for revenue generation
through development impact fees and return later in FY 2026-27 with
information.

Update on the Strategic Plan
On November 11, 2025, Council adopted a three-year strategic plan with seven
strategic goals. Staff have made advancements in several areas of the strategic
plan and are using the plan to shape their department workplans, which will be
presented to Council at the public budget hearing on May 26, 2026. This update
is provided, in part, to help inform any direction Council wishes to provide to staff
on priorities to guide staff as they develop departmental work plans.
Since adoption, the City has made meaningful progress in advancing near-term
recovery efforts while establishing a foundation for longer-term initiatives. Notably,
the City has adopted key rebuilding ordinances, implemented permit waivers, and
streamlined development processes to accelerate recovery for fire-impacted
properties, reducing barriers for residents seeking to rebuild. Staff have also
advanced a comprehensive economic recovery strategy, positioning the City for
implementation in 2026. Tangible progress is evident in community-facing projects,
including the near-completion and early opening of the new Skate Park, which has
already served residents and enhanced recreational opportunities.
While longer-term efforts related to infrastructure resilience, digital modernization,
and organizational development remain in early stages, staff have identified
priorities and are beginning to align resources and planning efforts accordingly.

18
Page 27 of 68

Agenda Item # 3.B.

Next Steps
The Council will meet on April 15, 2026 for its budget workshop where these policy
questions will be put before them. Based on their direction, staff will craft the
proposed FY 2026-27 budget, which will include the proposed revenues and
expenditures for the General Fund as well as the City’s enterprise funds. Council
will then have the opportunity to provide additional input at the public budget
hearing on May 26, 2026 before the final proposed budget is presented to Council
for adoption on June 29, 2026. Staff will continue to refine budget projections and
the five-year forecast as additional information becomes available throughout this
process.

In November 2025, the City contracted with Fredrick Fisher & Partners to work on the
design concept for a Multigenerational Recreation Center at the Heathercliff Property. On
January 26, 2026, Council received an update on the Community Lands Project and
directed staff to the Public Parks and Property Ad Hoc Committee to bring back a plan for
temporary fields on the Ioki parcel, explore options for a native plant nursery with the
SaMo Fund, and continue working on the Recreation Center on the Heathercliff Property.
The Fisher team has presented the design and costs for the temporary fields on the Ioki
parcel and the Multigenerational Center on Heathercliff to the Ad Hoc Committee. The Ad
Hoc Committee will meet with staff to discuss funding and priorities in Spring 2026.
Concepts of the Heathercliff site have been completed, a concept and cost estimate for
the Ioki temporary fields have been developed.

Funding requested as part of the 2026-27 budget for a "Malibu is for Families" campaign.

Since 2024, the Parks and Recreation Commission has reviewed the seasonal use of the
Malibu Equestrian Park and determined that equestrian activity remains low, averaging
approximately 3–5 users per week. Staff are working with Trancas Riders and Ropers
(TR&R) to develop a schedule of equestrian programs and events planned this year.
Additionally, equestrian instructors have contacted the Department to propose a variety
of programs anticipated to begin in Fall 2026. Maintenance costs associated with the
park will be discussed as part of the 2026–27 Budget process.

Parking Citation Fines

Item 3.C.

Meeting date: April 9, 2026

RECOMMENDED ACTION: 1) Review the Public Safety Commission recommendation
for increasing parking citation fines; and 2) Provide a recommendation to the City
Council.
FISCAL IMPACT: In Fiscal Year 2024-25, the City received $1.6 million in revenue
from parking citations and is on track to net $2.5 million in Fiscal Year 2025-26. Parking
citation revenue is anticipated to increase by approximately $295,383 per year as a
result of this action.
WORK PLAN: This item supports the City’s 2025 Strategic Plan Goal 4. Improve Public
Safety.
DISCUSSION: At the March 4, 2026, Regular Public Safety Commission Meeting, the
Public Safety Commission (Commission) performed a review of the parking citation fine
schedule. At that meeting, the Commission voted to recommend that the City Council
increase the fines for multiple violations. The recommended increases fall into three
categories: 1) fix-it tickets, 2) consistency with similar codes, and 3) violations that are
criminal in nature.
The following table illustrates the projected revenue increase that would occur as a
result of the proposed citation fine increases:

Total (Gross): $468,862
Total (Net): $295,383
The projected revenue increase was calculated using citation statistics from January
1, 2025 through December 31, 2025. The net revenue reflects the average amount
received by the City after ticket processing fees are subtracted. It is important to note
that enforcement rates for the year were lower than usual due to the impacts of the
Palisades Fire from January through March 2025, as well as ongoing construction
that significantly limits parking in eastern Malibu.
Fix-It Tickets
Fix-it tickets, or mechanical violations, allow for a citation amount to be substantially
reduced upon receiving proof of correction signed by a law enforcement agency.
However, only about 5% of people who receive these types of violations in the City
currently make corrections. An increase in the fines may serve to better motivate
people to make the necessary corrections and ensure compliance with the California
Vehicle Code, ultimately increasing deterrence of violations. Additionally, new safety
enhancements have been implemented or are in the process of being implemented,
such as the installation of Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) cameras
throughout the City and the upcoming speed camera program along PCH. Improved
compliance with license plate vehicle codes will support the success of the new safety
enhancements.

Page 62 of 68

Agenda Item 3.C.

Consistency With Similar Codes
There are a number of Los Angeles County and California Vehicle Codes that are
equivalent to one another; however, the fine amounts vary per City. To ensure
consistency in pricing between equivalent codes, the Commission recommended
increases to LACO 15.64.180, LACO 15.64.370, and CVC 4457 accordingly.
In addition, parking enforcement officers and Volunteers on Patrol (VOPs) currently
use 15.20.070 LACO (Obey Signs / Curbs / Markings) whenever a vehicle parks
against a red curb (LACO 15.64.180). If the recommended fine increase is approved,
the City will enforce LACO 15.64.180 for red curb violations which will allow the City
to collect public safety data on vehicles parking alongside a red curb. This will help
the City to target this specific violation for additional increases or other deterrence
measures if needed in the future.
Violations That Are Criminal In Nature
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) Malibu Liaison Sergeant
pointed out that violations for “altered license plate” (CVC 4464) and “incorrect
registration” are considered criminal in nature and did not appear to have fines that
sufficiently deter the behavior. Violations for CVC 4464 and CVC 4462 suggest that
the driver of the vehicle intentionally modified their license plate or vehicle registration
to avoid detection by ALPR cameras, avoid tolls, and ultimately avoid identification by
law enforcement. The violations have the highest suggested fine increases as a
result.
Staff recommends that the Administrative and Finance Subcommittee consider the
proposed fine adjustments and provide a recommendation to the City Council to adopt
the fines as stated or adjust them as appropriate.
