## Resource

Welcome back to Moms Building Community Podcast and Tomorrow’s Table Podcast. Today we are having an important community conversation about the proposed one-cent sales tax in Vacaville and what it could mean for public safety, city services, emergency response, community programs, and the future of our city. We are honored to welcome two special guests: Vacaville Police Chief Chris Polen and Vacaville City Manager Savita Chaudhary. Chief Polen has been a valued guest on our podcast before, and our audience always appreciates his transparency, community-focused leadership, and dedication to building trust between law enforcement and residents. City Manager Chaudhary brings important insight into how city resources are managed, how decisions are made, and how funding impacts the services families depend on every day. Today, we’ll break down what the proposed one-cent sales tax means in simple, relatable terms, why it is being discussed, how it could impact Vacaville families, and what residents should understand before making an informed decision.
