As for the budget - when we talk about more than $7-8 MILLION - it's because we have discovered and…Read More read staff reports from various agencies that have granted funds to this project.
Start with the FIRST $250,000 that was granted by the State Coastal Conservancy to Heal the Bay to hire an engineering firm to plan the project....that was in about 2003, as I recall. EVERYTHING that has been spent on this project in the last 10 years since is what the public wants to see.
FOUR state agencies were granted various funds for this project - and two nonprofits - at least that is what we know. Don't forget the $1 million that County Supervisor Yaroslavsky provided from the County of LA. And don't forget the $1 million that some elected official assisted in getting from the US Fish & Wildlife Foundation.

I'm sure we can all think of many more publicly beneficial ways to have spent the money that was…Read More spent on the Malibu Lagoon Restoration Project. Wait a second, what does “restoration” mean? Let me look that up.
res·to·ra·tion [res-tuh-rey-shuh n] noun
1. the act of restoring; renewal, revival, or reestablishment.
2. the state or fact of being restored.
3. a return of something to a former, original, normal, or unimpaired condition.
4. restitution of something taken away or lost.
5. something that is restored, as by renovating.
Nope, it wasn't a restoration because it doesn't look anything like it ever did before. It's more of a customization; chopped (trees and other natural foliage), channeled, lowered (the submerged paths), shaved (of everything living) and much more expensive than the builder thought when he started the project. Anyone who has built a hot rod knows what I’m talking about.

For those of you who are hyperventilating over the cost of the lagoon restoration I suggest you…Read More consult the state coastal conservancy website. Apparently there was approx. eight million dollars available for the lagoon restoration project. That includes the cost of the lagoon itself, the cost of the parking lot, over a million dollars for the EIR and the cost of five years of monitoring upon completion of the project as well as other expenses. That figure was made known to some of you out there who now feign ignorance. Mrs. Hanscom's 12-30 million dollar figure is ludicrous and an outright lie and she knows it and so do many others. She lies people, she LIES! They may wind up spending less than the eight million so stay tuned.Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

the People of Malibu better wake up! this issue with Paradise Cove is only going to get worse. The…Read More city and Paradise Cove are working on an expansion of the parking there. See the link to a recent meeting at the city that is the beginning of Paradise coves expansion. It is very quiet and no one knows but look at the plan. Currently Paradise Cove does not have the proper Zoning to be doing what they do down there. The city thinks by letting them expand that it will get people off the highway so they are in favor but in reality it only puts more money into the pockets of Paradise Cove and people will still park on PCH and Paradise Cove will continue to sends drunks out onto the road to endanger all of us. Speak up!

I ate lunch Friday at the Adamson House lawn and nearly 'chuncked out' with the smell of sewage.…Read More Uggggg!
It was worse than the biggest sewage spill that Paradise Cove ever had in the 15 years living there.
I'm not a scientist like everyone else who has been arguing about this project but I know the smell of 8hit when I smell it. Something is seriously wrong.
I am a mechanical engineer and it seems to me that all the scientists and smart designers have not taken into account any fluid dynamics. Water flows in, water flows out....water flows through. How hard is that?
It seems to me they have designed what is called turbulence!

Love that you are using the message board to ask this question. Does any one have any ideas?

Dear Phil (re: Burt's column),
I can’t quite put my finger on it, but, I sense an…Read More Eggs-itential undertone to all this. Does the chicken Egg-ist on behalf of the egg or vice versa? Eggs-perience will reveal the truth. To be complete, I must rehash Camus’ “The Play-egg.” Yet, as I recall, in the Book of Eggs-odous, there wasn’t a single Play-egg, but ten of them… so many, in fact, that it seems to many readers to be literally a Dozen Play-eggs. But, then again, I’m not very religious. In fact, many of my colleagues take me for an Egg-nostic. But, they are such Hard-boiled fanatics, that, in fact, their peers surmise they boarder on Egg-lectic. But, as Burt always says in da ‘hood, “Om-letting them be what they want to be.” We, however, have one on Burt: Rumor has it that he fell of the Vegan and had an egg salad… to which he Eggs-claims, “It was a serving of ‘Egg Beaters,’ you Egg-Heads!!”

May Malibu residents, businesses and our City ALWAYS have the foresight and passion to remember and…Read More protect > "Malibu was a place I went to with friends to hang out at the beach. But the last few years, its become a place I often go to by myself as a little escape zone. Whenever I have need to clear by head and level my shoulders, I head out to Malibu for a little mini-vacation. Whenever, like Ishmael, it feels like a damp, drizzly November in my soul, I fire up my 1965 Chevelle Malibu Super Sport and go see the watery part of the world."
Amen.

I don't know why Sulah Cat would talk about CeCe in such a way, I thought they were friends......

Many complain but do nothing more ... and it is only by action that something gets accomplished. I…Read More applaud The Malibu Agricultural Society for persevering on this critical issue and thank the local businesses that removed the rat poison from their shelves. We really can all make a difference.
Thank you!
