The Las Virgenes Council of Governments is a small … rather anonymous agency.
The City of Malibu and four cities along the 101 Freeway are members.
Mostly .. it is in charge of distributing regional sales tax money for road and transit projects.
It handles money … lots of money.
More than $135 million in Measure R Highway funds … most of it to pay for fancy new interchanges being built along the 101 freeway … and landscaping improvements along Agoura Road in Agoura Hills … and Mulholland Highway in Calabasas.
Its monthly meetings are attended by four city council members from over the hill … and one from Malibu.
Agendas … even for small joint powers agencies … are public business and must be posted on the internet three business days in advance.
A Malibu reporter objected … this week’s meeting was scrubbed.
City attorney Christi Hogin this morning told KBUU News that Malibu officials serving on Brown Act bodies absolutely should not attend meetings that have not been noticed in compliance with the Brown Act.
This one wan’t.
It was cancelled.
