VALLEJO, CA – During the March 8 Vallejo City Council Meeting, the Council considered whether to submit an application to the California IBANK for a loan in the amount of $30 million to fund the upgrade and retrofit of the City-owned building at 400 Mare Island Way to serve as the Vallejo Police Department Headquarters (Item 9B).
A presentation was made by Interim Assistant City Manager Terrance Davis, Bruce Playle of Indigo, Hammond & Playle Architects, and Sarah Hollenbeck, a representative of PFM, a municipal finance advisory firm contracted by the City on the potential financing and use of funds.
After the presentation, the City Council received comments from 39 community members in chambers and nine members attending the meeting via the Zoom platform. After much deliberation amongst the Council, a motion to bring the item back to Council on the April 12 agenda passed by a 6-1 vote.
The April 12 agenda will include an item to be considered by Council to create a working group that would provide beneficial feedback on the options for replacement of the outdated Vallejo Police Department Headquarters to suit the needs of the Vallejo Community.
On April 12 Council will also revisit the question of whether to submit an application for a loan from IBANK for $30 million to fund the upgrade and retrofit of 400 Mare Island Way to serve as the Vallejo Police Department Headquarters.
Between now and the April 12 City Council meeting, the City will conduct preliminary outreach to community members and partner organizations seeking input regarding alternative locations for the proposed Vallejo Police Department Headquarters that best benefit the community.
