Kaden Lehne, Tea Petretti, Councilmember Jefferson Wagner and Teigue Lehne.Legacy Park is scheduled to be completed by October 2010 and has undergone a comprehensive environmental permitting and design process, which included extensive public review and participation. The project's design team included some of California's most respected engineering, stormwater, wastewater and environmental restoration experts.
A technical advisory committee, composed of environmental and scientific community specialists, provided extensive input, resulting in several specific innovative design elements being included in the project, such as harvesting the stormwater within the Civic Center watershed area and recycling it for park irrigation and utilizing natural biological filtering processes to remove sediments from the stormwater.
In addition to the Legacy Park and other stormwater projects, the City of Malibu is preparing plans for a centralized wastewater system for its Civic Center area, authorizing $2.6 million in January 2009 for design and engineering.
The City of Malibu was incorporated on March 28, 1991. Located in northwest Los Angeles County, the City has 21 miles of coastline along the Pacific Ocean and a population of 12,575.
