From the meeting
At its October 6, 2026 meeting, the council changed the proposed police facility site from West Hills to the vacant city-owned North Street property next to Cash Wise. Staff said the North Street parcel became viable after the city bought adjacent frontage in July 2026, and the total police and fire project is still expected to fit within the previously authorized $65 million bond amount. The decision is now locked in for ballot and site planning work.
