The bond would help support our police in their work. It's our job as City Council to make sure that they have the appropriate environment to be able to support our community. We've been discussing and looking into a state seismic grant that will help so that we can ultimately reduce the burden on local taxpayers. It's important for the city to know that we've done this before. We've delivered. This space was created because voters in the past supported it. Public safety deserves our support.
