Bettplex sports complex developers Doug Kratz and Kevin Koellner are among a dozen individuals and companies funding the political action committee pushing for voter approval of the $27-million referendum for a new police station.

The political action committee – Yes for Public Safety – has raised just over $52,000 to date while spending more than $48,000 on postcard mailings and signs.

In addition, the city has spent more than $30,000 on an "informational newsletter" and postcards mailings to residents.
