Council Will Discuss Sale Of Old Police Station

The Redding City Council will be asked at Tuesday’s meeting to approve the sale of the old police station to the McConnell Foundation, although plans to designate the proceeds toward a sobering center are very much in question. The price McConnell will pay for the California Street building is $685,000 or the appraised value, whichever is more. In May the council showed support for an idea to dedicate $375,000 of the money to a sobering center to be run by a non-profit, but as of yet no organization has stepped up and shown interest in running such a facility. The sheriff has offered space in the jail building for a sobering center but that still doesn’t answer the significant question of who will run it, so the money is likely to just be absorbed into the general fund.
