VALLEJO, CA – On March 8 City Council deliberated about whether to submit an application for a $30M loan with IBANK to fund the upgrade and retrofit of 400 Mare Island Way to serve as the Vallejo Police Department Headquarters (Item 9B).
After some opposition to the Mare Island Way location for the new VPD Headquarters, Council asked City staff to conduct public outreach seeking the community's input, suggesting alternative locations for the proposed VPD headquarters. Council directed staff to bring item 9B back to the Council and add consideration of a Council Ad Hoc Subcommittee or in the alternative a standing subcommittee (including, potentially, councilmembers, members of the community, Vallejo PD, and other staff members) to review potential alternative locations to be brought back to the Council no later than September 13, 2022.
Today the City opened a mapping tool and a short survey to gather feedback on proposed sites. Your response in the mapping tool will help the City to isolate areas and identify potential properties within those areas for the proposed headquarters. On April 12, the City will present to the public and City Council information on viable proposed locations based on the public input received through the mapping tool and survey.
At the April 12 meeting, the City Council will consider the following items (not necessarily in this order):
-
Item 9B which was which was continued from March 8th - whether to submit an application for a $30M loan with IBANK to fund the upgrade and retrofit of 400 Mare Island Way to serve as the Vallejo Police Department Headquarters;
- The viable proposed locations based on the public input received through the mapping tool;
- Consideration of a Council Ad Hoc Subcommittee, or in the alternative a standing subcommittee (including, potentially, councilmembers, members of the community, Vallejo PD, and other staff members) to review potential alternative locations to be brought back to the Council no later than September 13, 2022.
