City Council member urges support for bond to renovate Hood River police station
Summary
A City Council member described the police station—housed in the City Hall basement and dating to 1921—as outdated and said a proposed bond, aided by a state seismic grant, would renovate the space to improve safety and operations.
A City Council member said Hood River's police station is an "outdated makeshift space in the basement of City Hall" and urged support for a proposed bond to renovate the facility. "The building I believe was built in 1921," the speaker said, arguing the age and layout of the space affect safety and operations.
The speaker said the bond would "improve safety and operations" and "help support our police in their work," and noted the council has been "discussing and looking into a state seismic grant" that could reduce the burden on local taxpayers. The speaker added that voters have supported similar projects in the past and closed with an outreach prompt: "Public safety deserves our support. Click here to learn more." The transcript records this as a proposal and informational appeal; no formal vote, ballot measure number, dollar amount, or implementation timeline appears in the provided text.
