In the recent municipal elections, Malibu residents set a major goal for the new city council: get a view preservation ordinance drafted and in force as expeditiously as possible.
As I attended Tuesday’s hearing for the formation of a blue ribbon citizen’s committee to support this process, I was impressed by both the diversity and quality of the ideas and comments discussed. I came away feeling optimistic about the success of the view preservation (and restoration) effort as well as enjoying the belief that democracy is doing remarkably well here in Malibu these days.
