The city estimates it has more than $600 million in unfunded infrastructure needs.
Firefighter driver engineer Brandon Hale points out deteriorated windows and cracked walls at the Santa Clara Fire Station 5 in Santa Clara, Calif., on Friday, March 29, 2024. The fire station is outdated with current structural damages that need a complete teardown and be rebuilt into a bigger more efficient fire station.
During the hourslong discussion of the measure, councilmembers wrestled with what dollar amount to put forward to voters. The city has not had a general facilities bond since 1959, but made unsuccessful attempts to put one on the ballot in 2018 and 2022. Despite the long list of infrastructure needs, Mayor Lisa Gillmor and Councilmember Kathy Watanabe proposed reducing the dollar amount from nearly $600 million to $400 million.
City Manager Jovan Grogan pleaded with the council to show unanimous support for the measure in order to increase its chances of passing.
