Greetings, Suisun City!
My name is Jim Bermudez, and I am your Development Services Director. It is an honor for me to host the Suisun City Scoop this month.
This month, we're excited to spotlight the Development Services Department, which oversees planning, construction and code enforcement to support responsible growth and keep our community safe and vibrant.
Here are some exciting updates from our Department:
- After years of planning, the redevelopment of Almond Gardens is moving forward. A complete review is targeted by July 2025, with demolition and the construction of 99 new multifamily units to follow.
- The City is in active discussions with a popular coffee franchise to establish a location near the Sunset Shopping Center. This addition is expected to stimulate further commercial interest and development in the area.
- We want to give a big thank you to our Code Enforcement Officer, Ryan White, for his continued dedication and professionalism. As a one-person division, Ryan handles every case with efficiency and integrity, ensuring our community remains safe and well-maintained. Excellent work, Ryan!
Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to support responsible growth, revitalization and community well-being. As always, thank you for your engagement and support!
All the best,
Jim Bermudez
Development Services Director

Suisun City Fire Department
In April, the Suisun City Fire Department focused on training, community engagement and facility improvements. Firefighters joined a multi-agency active attacker drill with regional fire and law enforcement teams to enhance emergency coordination. The Department also supported the Neurodiversity Conference and helped ensure a safe Annual Easter Egg Hunt on April 20. Additionally, Phase I of the Fire Station remodel reached 80% completion, with final touches like painting and hardware installation underway.

Public Works is advancing several key infrastructure and maintenance projects. Negotiations with Republic Services for a new Franchise Agreement are nearly complete and will soon go before City Council, followed by a Proposition 218 process for rate changes. Traffic signal upgrades are underway, with new controllers and timing set for implementation to enhance traffic safety and flow. The 2025 Pavement Resurfacing Project, scheduled for summer construction, includes repairs and resurfacing on major streets like Blossom Avenue, Sunset Avenue, Worley Road and Walters Road.
