Council approves Big Rock Mesa and Malibu Road landslide assessment district levies for FY25‑26
Summary
The council held public hearings and approved FY25‑26 assessment levies for Big Rock Mesa and Malibu Road landslide maintenance districts to fund maintenance and repair operations; Caltrans was not included as an assessed entity.
The Malibu City Council on June 9 approved two assessment district levies to fund landslide maintenance and operations for fiscal year 2025–26.
Big Rock Mesa Landslide Assessment District: staff reported the FY25‑26 assessment total of $382,035, a 3.02% increase over the prior year, to support a proposed budget of roughly $388,686.50. The assessment per single-family residence will be $1,082.10 (an increase of $37.10), and $892.73 for condos/apartments (an increase of $26.17). Council closed the public hearing and voted to approve the assessments.
Malibu Road Landslide Maintenance Assessment District: staff reported the FY25‑26 assessment level at $69,269.02 (a 2.9% increase). Zone A single‑family assessments are $1,385.38 (an increase of $40.62) and Zone B assessments are $692.69 (an increase of $20.31). Council held and closed the public hearing and approved the assessment schedule. Staff clarified Caltrans is not a paying member of the district as formed in 1998 and that Caltrans-maintained Pacific Coast Highway was not included as an assessed entity.
Both hearings concluded with unanimous council approvals. Members of the public who spoke asked staff to consider whether state-owned rights‑of‑way could logically be part of future district structures; staff replied that including Caltrans would require formation of a new district and further analysis.
