CITY MANAGEMENT / CITY COUNCIL
(NEW) VIDEO: DEVELOPMENT SERVICES REVIEW REPORT PRESENTED TO CITY COUNCIL
VIDEO: The consultant hired by the City to conduct a Comprehensive Development Services Review in an effort to improve the City's development services and operations, presented their findings to the City Council during the August 28 Council meeting. The City had put out a Request for Proposals (RFP) and hired Baker Tilly US, LLP to perform the study, which pertains to all City Departments involved in permitting - mainly Planning, Environmental Sustainability, and Public Works. The goal was to identify areas where improvements can be made and to provide recommendations. The review examined processes including organization structure and culture, resource needs, technology requirements, regulations, process documentation and more. The consultant will present an implementation plan to the City Council in September, with details to be announced. The presentation is available to watch online (clip starts at 3:50:55). For more information, see the complete report from the consultant in the staff report.
WILDFIRE safety
(NEW) FREE TRAINING ON HOW TO ASSESS A STRUCTURE’S VULNERABILITY TO WILDFIRE
The City hosted two free classes on how to assess a home or structure's vulnerability to burning down in a wildfires, "Assessing Structure Ignition Potential from Wildfire." The classes were offered from the National Fire Protection Association on August 30 and 31, and were the third and fourth such classes that the City hosted. For more information, email Fire Safety Liaison Jerry Vandermeulen at JVandermeulen@MalibuCity.org.
(NEW) UPDATE ON ACTIONS THE CITY HAS TAKEN SINCE THE WOOLSEY FIRE TO BE MORE PREPARED FOR WILDFIRES
Nearly five years after the devastating Woolsey Fire, the tragic fire that destroyed the town of Lahaina, Maui and claimed more than 115 lives, has brought up memories, trauma and fears about the dangers that Malibu faces this wildfire season. Community members want to know if they will be safe, and what efforts the City has taken to be more prepared since the Woolsey Fire, and to prevent a tragedy like Lahaina from occurring in Malibu. Some of the actions the City has taken since the Woolsey Fire include:
- Expanded the public safety office into a City Department
- Hired three retired firefighters as Fire Safety Liaisons
- Offers free Home Wildfire Assessments
- Started a free fire hazard tree removal program
- Created a Zero Power Plan in case of a widespread power and communications blackout (worked with the CERT Team to create emergency information stations and to equip the City's emergency supplies containers with solar-powered satellite phone and internet capabilities; acquired backup generators for traffic signals; worked with the Malibu CERT Team to install radio repeaters to enable the use of handheld radios Citywide; acquired additional Changeable Message Signs)
- Expanded the disaster notification system database
- Increased the number of CERT classes offered
- Adopted a Mass Evacuation Plan and the County Zonehaven evacuation tool and maps
- Installed dozens of Beacon Boxes across Malibu with local maps to assist out-of-area firefighters responding in Malibu
- Adopted an emergency resolution to facilitate the removal of homeless encampments during Red Flag conditions.
- See more details.
CITY FIRE SAFETY LIAISONS ARE MONITORING FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS LEADING UP TO WILDFIRE SEASON
LIVE FUEL MOISTURE AT 83% AS OF AUGUST 11, DOWN FROM 93% TWO WEEKS EARLIER, ABOVE THE HISTORICAL AVERAGE (60% = CRITICAL)
As part of year-round wildfire preparedness, the City tracks Live Fuel Moisture (LFM), as well as relative humidity, temperature, dead fuel moisture, wind and other weather factors to determine wildfire conditions for Malibu. The LFM was 83% as of August 11, down from 93% on July 21 (higher than the historical average for this time of year). The LFM is the percentage of water content to dry matter in live vegetation and indicates how likely a fire is to grow large and spread quickly. LFM can be as high as 200% and is considered critical at 60% and below. The Los Angeles County Fire Department Forestry Division samples plants in the Santa Monica Mountains approximately every two weeks and posts the results on their website. For local fire weather forecasts, visit the NWS Los Angeles/Oxnard website.
COMPLETE A HOME WILDFIRE HARDENING ASSESSMENT AND GET A FREE EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS BACKPACK
Malibu residents who complete a free Home Wildfire Hardening Assessment with the City of Malibu will receive a free rolling emergency preparedness backpack. The handy backpacks are a valuable addition to your “go kit” and can help you be better prepared to evacuate quickly in case of a wildfire or other disasters. They are only available while supplies last, so schedule your appointment now. The City’s Fire Safety Liaisons will conduct a 30-to-60-minute exterior inspection of your property looking at what can be done to make it less vulnerable to the millions of flying embers from a wind-driven wildfire, a leading cause of homes burning down in wildfires. You’ll get a checklist of steps to take, such as removing dead vegetation or wood furniture that is touching the house, to harden your property. For more information or to schedule a free Home Wildfire Hardening Assessment, visit the webpage or call 310-456-2489, ext. 238, or email FireSafety@MalibuCity.org.
START PREPARING FOR WILDFIRE SEASON NOW
Now is the time for everyone in the community, including businesses, to start preparing for wildfire season. Monitor local fire weather conditions and warnings on the National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard website. Create and/or review your family or business emergency plan, including evacuation routes and reunification locations, and gather emergency supplies. Check the expiration dates on food and medication. Keep vehicle fuel tanks above half full. Make sure you are able to open electric gates or garage doors when the power is out. For preparedness guidance, get the Malibu Survival Guide. Sign up for emergency alerts from the City (scroll to Alert Center) and from LA County. Most importantly, make sure flammable materials and vegetation are cleared away from your home. Schedule a free Home Wildfire Hardening Assessment by emailing FireSafety@MalibuCity.org, calling 310-456-2489, ext. 388 or visiting the Fire Safety webpage.
HEAVY VEGETATION FROM RECENT RAINS MEANS THAT BRUSH CLEARANCE IS CRUCIAL - THE CITY IS READY TO ASSIST YOU
June 1 was the LA County brush clearance deadline, but you can still complete your mandatory brush clearance. Many Malibu residents received brush clearance notices from the Fire Department for the first time due to updated maps. Proper brush clearance is required by law and is one of the most important ways to protect your home and property from wildfire, and to slow the spread of fires in our community. The record rainfall this winter was badly needed for our drought conditions and water supplies, but the lush vegetation on our hillsides will soon become fuel for a potential wildfire next fire season.
Residents can get help with complying with brush clearance requirements by scheduling a free Home Wildfire Hardening Assessment with the City's Fire Safety Liaisons. They will conduct a 30-60 minute inspection that follow the Fire Code and nationally recognized best practices and provide a checklist of simple steps to take, such as good brush clearance, keeping flammable materials like dead vegetation and wood furniture away from the house, and covering up eave vents with metal mesh. Schedule an appointment by emailing FireSafety@MalibuCity.org or calling 310-456-2489, ext. 388 or visiting the Fire Safety webpage. For information on brush clearance in Los Angeles County, including a list of vendors, a checklist and FAQs, visit the LA County Fire Department webpage.
PUBLIC SAFETY
UPDATED ZONEHAVEN EVACUATION ZONE MAPS FOR MALIBU
Know your zone! The City will be mailing out information cards to all households in Malibu about the updated Zonehaven Evacuation Zone numbers for Malibu. Malibu’s zones are now numbered MAL-C111 - MAL-C114. Los Angeles County adopted new official disaster response and evacuation zones and the new Zonehaven AWARE online tool in November 2022. All County agencies and cities, including the City of Malibu, will adhere to them in a disaster. The new zones for Malibu are the same as the City’s Evacuation Zones (11-14) were adopted in February 2020 as part of the City’s official Mass Evacuation Plan, following a recommendation after the Woolsey Fire.
Residents, businesses, students, employees and other community members are encouraged to look up the new zones for their home, business or school, and familiarize themselves with Zonhaven. During a disaster, Zonehaven will show valuable information specific to the location, such as emergency services, status updates, shelter locations, roadblocks, evacuation routes and more. Remember your Zone – they will be referred to in alerts and public messaging during any large-scale emergency incidents in LA County. Find more evacuation information for Malibu on the City website.
NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS MONTH EVENTS IN SEPTEMBER
postcards WILL BE MAILED OUT CITYWIDE with tips on staying informed during a disaster

WEEKLY TESTS OF EVERBRIDGE DISASTER NOTIFICATION SYSTEM DURING NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS MONTH
As part of the City's efforts to be prepared, and help the community be prepared for wildfires and other disasters, the City will send weekly test messages using the Everbridge Disaster Notification system during National Preparedness Month. Each week, a test message will go out to one of the City's four new Zonehaven Evacuation Zones (which are the same as the City's Evacuation Zones 11-14, adopted in 2019). Look up the Zonehaven Zone for your home, business, school or organization. No registration is required for the Everbridge test, as most cell phone and landline numbers with Malibu addresses are automatically loaded into the system. However, you can create profile in Everbridge to add or change multiple phone numbers or email, which helps the system to operate more effectively. If you do not receive the test message or need assistance with your Everbridge profile, please contact the Public Safety Office at PublicSafety@MalibuCity.org or call 310-456-2489, ext. 237.

WOOLSEY FIRE REBUILD
WOOLSEY FIRE REBUILD PROGRESS REPORT
Yolanda Bundy, the City's Building Official and Environmental Sustainability Director, gave an update on the Woolsey Fire rebuild effort during the August 14 Council meeting. The 2018 fire, the largest in LA County, and the worst natural disaster in the City's history, destroyed at least 465 homes in the City and burned about 96,000 acres. In 2019, the Council acted to waive permit fees for "like-for-like" and "like-for-like" plus 10% Woolsey Fire primary residence rebuild projects in order to support homeowners in their efforts to rebuild, and extended the waivers for four subsequent years. To date, the City has waived approximately $5.17 million in rebuild project fees. This does not include an additional $800,000 for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing permits for the homes under construction. Of the 100 unsubmitted projects, 69 original property owners have not started rebuilding. The unsubmitted project fee waivers are estimated to be an additional $2.8 million for an estimated total of $8.77 million. Rebuild numbers (as of August 14) include:
