MALIBU—The Malibu City Council voted on March 28 to resume in-person City Council meetings starting May 9, with low COVID-19 cases, positivity rates and hospitalizations in Los Angeles County. City Council also directed the City’s Commissions, Committees and Boards to return to in-person meetings at their next regular meeting after May 9.
“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,” said Mayor Paul Grisanti. “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.”
According to a news release from the city of Malibu, case rates, test positivity rates and hospitalizations countywide, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (LADPH) placed LA County in the Low Community Risk Level as defined by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
