Petaluma Looking at New Plan for Managing Police and Fire Stations

The Petaluma City Council will hear an update on the Public Safety Facilities Master Plan. Currently, both new construction and renovations to existing Fire and Police stations are needed to address inadequate public safety facilities city wide. For example, Fire Station 1 needs seismic upgrades, while Stations 1, 2, and 3 lack crew space for employees. The Police Station similarly is poorly configured to meet the needs of a modern police department, with inadequate locker space, showers, meeting, and office space. The plan will address many of these issues through renovations and new sites. Tonight’s Petaluma City Council meeting starts at 5 PM and can be viewed in-person or online through the city’s website.
