Debate over a Malibu
sheriff ’s station resurfaces
MICHELE WILLER-ALLRED,
Staff Reporter
As construction of the
Santa Monica College Malibu
Campus on Civic Center
Way moves forward,
talks continue about having
a Los Angeles County
Sheriff’s Department station
at the site.
During the Malibu City
Council meeting on Tuesday,
City Manager Reva
Feldman responded to a
resident’s question about
whether a homeless shelter
is being put up at the site.
Feldman emphasized that
the Santa Monica Community
College District
was building the Malibu
campus at the Los Angeles
County-owned site located
at 23555 Civic Center Way.
“There is not a homeless
shelter being built at that
property,” she said.
According to the city’s
website, an approximately
27,500-square-foot educational
facility will include a
5,700-square-foot sheriff’s
substation and emergency
operations and planning
center on the ground floor.
However, Feldman used
the word “station” to describe
what might open
there.
“I say station as opposed
to substation because I
think it actually behooves
our community to actually
have a full station with a

captain in Malibu at that
station,” Feldman said.
Feldman added that the
city was poised to start
having community discussions
regarding the station
prior to the outbreak of CO-
VID-19, and some of those
meetings were cancelled.
“I think those are important
community discussions
that need to happen before
there’s any decisions about
how we’re going to pay for
that and staff it, but we still

have about two years to
make those decisions,” said
Feldman.
Feldman did say that
there was construction of
showers for employees being
done at an adjacent water
district facility.
The college campus is
expected to open in 2022.
