2026 Imperial County Public Safety Citizens Initiative
Summary
The county sheriff pitched a citizen-driven half-cent sales tax for the November ballot that would fund a regional dispatch center, a custody holding facility near Brawley, and the county's first real coroner facility. The state can't touch the money and the county can't redirect it. The sheriff said a resolution of support request will come to the city later.
