Vacation rentals.
A part of Malibu for decades … but exploding because of the Internet.
Two sides are squaring off for a battle royale at Malibu City Hall this evening.
Details: http://www.radiomalibu.net/battle-royale-at-city-hall-tonight/
Also on the agenda tonight at Malibu City Hall ….
The issue of how to handle a Metro requirement that the City of Malibu build a 2 acre parking lot on Point Dume.
And the city council will start the process of deciding what to do with that vacant lot on Point Dume … as well as two other vacant parcels it just purchased at the Civic Center.
All that starts at 5 … one hour before that … the city council will go into secret session with the city attorney to talk about legal matters.
That’s not unusual.
What is unusual is that this week … the agenda specifically mentions the possibility of the city filing two lawsuits.
No details of course on that … yet.
We will keep you posted.
