$125M police headquarters bond referendum
Summary
The council is asking voters on March 9, 2027 to approve up to $125 million in bonds for a new police headquarters, downsized from last year's failed $175 million ask. The ballot language promises a downtown police presence but leaves the site and design for later — which some residents say is a trust problem.
