This is Malibu’s only local daily news. It’s the   ((((  final  ))) edition of the (((  Tuesday ))) news … from Radio Malibu  ….  F-M 99 point 1 K B U U.  Good morning … I’m Hans Laetz reporting.

——

October 15th is the day … that every outdoor light in Malibu must be shielded … pointed down … and turned off by 11 at night.

There are a few exceptions … but the Malibu city council last night enacted one of the nation’s toughest bans on outdoor lighting.

A few adjustments were made to the ordinance last night.

Outdoor string lights will be allowed … but only at dining and entertaining  areas … only during times when people are outside … and they have to be shut off when people go inside.

Other than that … the ordinance was not tinkered with last night … when the city Council approved it by a 5 to nothing vote.

Now comes a public education campaign … to let businesses and homeowners know about the coming rule change.

Gas stations .. For example … will have about a year to change out the light fixtures so that the store is no longer glow-in-the-dark.

Homeowners face a and October 15 deadline to readjust … replace … and build timers for their outdoor lighting.

But the days of estates lit up with floodlights pointing up in the air on their palm trees … fest tuned with thousands of sparkly Christmas lights …. Appear to be over.
