Southern California Edison officials have asked the city of Malibu for 20 minutes of time at the city council meeting tonight … to formally present their plan to turn off electricity to the city n extreme Santa Ana windstorms.
And apparently … the city has said no.
The S C E request was -not- added to tonight’s city council agenda …. although the company might appear at the call to the public for a brief speech.
S C E is required to hold a community outreach meeting before mid-October … to explain its preemptive blackout plan.
In other cities .. Edison had used city council meetings to do this.
Malibu appears to be not playing ball.
