MALIBU CITY COUNCIL APPOINTS MAYOR AND MAYOR PRO TEM FOR NEW TERM
On Monday, July 8, 2024, the Malibu City Council selected and swore in Doug Stewart as the City’s next Mayor and Marianne Riggins as Mayor Pro Tem during the Council meeting. Video of the Council changeover is available to watch online.
Mayor Doug Stewart had his oath of office administered by his wife Sharon.
Mayor Stewart stated, "It’s a humbling experience to now be the Mayor of the town that I love. When I became a Councilmember, I pledged to represent not only the people who voted for me, but everyone in our City, and I promise to continue that representation as your Mayor. I look forward to continuing our ongoing work with the Council, Commissioners, community and City staff on the important matters that Malibu faces. With the Municipal Election coming soon, I will do my best to keep the work of the Council focused on the dais, and separate from the election.”
Mayor Pro Tem Marianne Riggins was sworn in by City Clerk Kelsey Pettijohn.
Mayor Pro Tem Riggins added, “As a lifelong Malibu resident, nothing could make me more proud than to be able to serve on the Council and give back to the community that has given me so much. I look forward to continuing our work with the City Council and the community to protect and preserve our unique rural, coastal village and provide the best possible services and programs for our residents.”
The Council thanked the outgoing Mayor, Councilmember Steve Uhring, for his service to the community, representing the City, the community, and the Council during his term as Mayor.
