Malibu City Council Meetings To Return In Person

MALIBU, CA — After over two years of virtual meetings, Malibu City Council meetings will return in person on May 9, the city announced on Wednesday.

City Council meetings will happen on the second and fourth Monday of every month at 6:30 p.m. at Malibu City Hall, located at 23825 Stuart Ranch Road.

The move to in-person meetings was prompted by low COVID-19 case rates, positivity rates and hospitalizations, according to the city of Malibu. The county is considered to have a low risk level, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

“I am proud of the way the City of Malibu has adapted to meet the many unexpected challenges that the pandemic has presented over the last two years so that we could continue to provide City services that the community needs, but we all missed an important element of in-person interaction,” Mayor Paul Grisanti said in a news release. “It is a welcome milestone now that we can safely return to in-person City meetings so that community members, City and civic leaders can gather, meet and discuss issues face-to-face as we all work for the benefit of Malibu.”

Residents can still watch and participate in meetings online on the city's website or YouTube channel.
