Malibu’s city council meeting on Monday is still on schedule.

City council meetings have been cancelled due to winds … and fires … in the past.

The meeting will begin at 4 p-m Monday … because so many people are expected to show up to state their opinions on overnight vacation rentals.

After years of delay … the issue has resurfaced at the city council table.

On Monday .. the city council will be given a controversial financial analysis of the issue.

The analysis claims that Malibu’s city budget could take a 30 million dollar  hot over the jnext 10 years … if it loses the 2 and a half million dollars in tqx revenue that it gets from overnight rentals in Malibu.

Critics immediately pointed out severe shortcomings in the analysis.

It does not … for example … consider the financial impact of two major hotels planned for P C H along Billionaire’s beach.

If those hotels are approved and built … Malibu’s B and B tax hole would be filled by hotel room tax revenue.

The economic study also did not count how many dollars that B and B party houses cost the local economy.

Peopkle in those houses don;t shop for cars or groceries …depriving Malibu of sales tax revenue.

13 months ago …the city council asked for this report.

It got delayed by the woolsey Fire.

But they said it may not be possible to stop using Roundup at some areas where the public has no direct access … like airport runways and taxiways.

This … as reported by the Ventura County Star,
