Malibu Burn Victims Have Until COB Thursday To Make Key Decision

Flashing road signs.
Telephone calls from the mayor.
E mails.
Public Service Announcement on the radio station.
Public officials are banging the drums loudly about tomorrow’s deadline to either sign up … or opt out … of the state debris removal program.
Homeowners are confronted with several possible decisions … let the state do it … do it yourself by the March 15th deadline … or in some extreme cases walk away from a property if it cannot be rebuilt because of changed fire codes.
As of Monday … only 30 percent of Malibu residents with fire destruction had signed up for the state program.
L A County .. not the city … but L A County has set a March 15th deadline.
If a property is not scraped by then … the county will declare it a public nuisance.
And then it will do the job itself … and bill the landowner for the work.
That could cost up to $100,000.
The deadline to file the papers … tomorrow at the close of business.
