The Malibu city Council will decide how much to charge free municipal services tonight at its regular meeting.
But the final decision on reducing fees for people seeking to rebuild their houses after the Woolsey Fire will go before the city council at a later date.
The city council has a full agenda tonight … including making decisions on the civic center sewer … View corridors affected by the Woolsey Fire … a request to the county to add back up generators to all of the water pumps in Malibu.
Also … the city council will consider a measure to go on record against allowing camping in environmentally sensitive habitat areas. … in L -A County.
Joe Edmiston and the Mountains Resource Conservation Authority have plans to build a campground in Ramirez Canyon .. above Paradise Cove …
But they have been thwarted by a judge .. who ruled that the new L A County Local Coastal Plan does not allow that.
The Coastal Commission is telling L-A County to change the L-C-P … to allow camping.
Edmiston’s unilateral actions to install parks and campgrounds in Malibu … without local planning or adequate fire protections …. are infuriating many Malibu residents.
