Why This Vote Matters
The city approved a contract with E.F. Brett & Company to build out a new police substation at Hilltop Mall, with six members voting yes and Councilmember Bates abstaining. The contractor will convert existing retail space into a functioning police facility that will give officers a permanent presence in the mall area.
