The Mountain View City Council voted Tuesday night to approve early design plans for the city’s new public safety building, an expensive project that’s expected to cost between $160 and $165 million and may need a ballot measure to get over the finish line.
City officials have long sought to renovate or replace the public safety building at 1000 Villa Street.
