Dave Rosenbaum - Vote Yes on on Proposition 1 Public Maintenance and Safety Building

On the November ballot, Proposition 1 would authorize $103.16 million in bonds to build a new Public Safety & Maintenance Facility — replacing aging, scattered, and often failing public works, police, and emergency operations infrastructure. In this episode, I sit down with Deputy Mayor Dave Rosenbaum, longtime Mercer Island Councilmember, parent, and community advocate, for a deep dive into why he supports a “Yes” vote. We talk about: the structural and operational risks of existing facilities how new design standards (e.g. seismic resilience, efficient layouts) protect public safety and civic services the long-term cost vs. repair trade-offs how this project fits into Mercer Island’s vision for sustainable growth and resilient infrastructureTo read more about the bond measure and facility plan, see the City’s project page here:https://letstalk.mercergov.org/21665/widgets/94539/documents/73809
