I found 155.985 (PL 141.3), but don't recall ever hearing a peep on it. Dunno' where I even got the info from at this point. Certainly can't call it confirmed, but maybe someone else will hear something on it. That was supposed to be for their peace officers.

Port of Sac taken over by West Sac
West Sac takes charge of region's troubled port
The money-losing facility will become part of the city government, ending four decades of operation by a collection of area governments.

With a unanimous vote by the West Sacramento City Council late Wednesday, the Port of Sacramento was to become today a new branch of its home city government, ending 42 years of operation by four area governments - and five years sliding toward bankruptcy.
The historic vote, coming at 9:43 p.m. before a small crowd in the City Council chambers, pushes the Port of Sacramento into the same status as the majority of California's 11 ports, which are overseen by the city in which they operate.
Council members portrayed it as a major accomplishment in an 18-year-old industrial city steadily reinventing itself with riverfront parks, suburban homes and plans for urban high-rises to mirror those across the river in downtown Sacramento.
"This is a significant part of defining our own destiny, which I think is what people wanted when we became a city," said Councilman Oscar Villegas.
"I would have never believed this would occur in our lifetime," added Councilman Wes Beers. "It's something that's always been a barrier to moving forward in the city. ... We now start having the tools to address it."
For years West Sacramento, Yolo County and the city and the county of Sacramento have collectively run the port, a political arrangement that proved unable in recent years to chart a new direction or stop its financial losses.
The arrangement also proved irksome to a growing new city that saw a major industrial facility inside its boundaries being governed by outsiders.
Specifically Wednesday, the West Sacramento council approved its part of a multigovernment deal to surrender the port to West Sacramento, and also approved an interim services contract that folds the shipping operation into its City Hall, effective today.
The temporary contract, expected to remain in place for the first three months of 2006 and yield to a permanent version, did not require approval by the other three governments.
The Yolo County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday ratified the four-government deal that permanently hands the port to its home city. The Sacramento City Council will vote on Jan. 5, and the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors on Jan. 10.
The city of West Sacramento will soon name two new members to join Mayor Christopher Cabaldon and Councilwoman Carolyn Castillo-Pierson on a transition port commission. The commission will guide the port until state legislation ratifies the home-city handover. The new members will assume two seats being surrendered next month by the city and the county of Sacramento.
The new arrangement eventually will make many port employees into city employees, but some still face an uncertain future that may include layoffs. The port's unionized cargo handlers, however, will see no changes.
Wednesday's vote sets the stage for monumental changes expected next year when the Port of Oakland begins day-to-day management of a facility that has lost $5.5 million in the last five years, even as other California ports have boomed with trans-Pacific trade.
The seven-member commission that governs the Port of Oakland, which includes Oakland International Airport and the nation's fourth-busiest container port, is scheduled to vote Tuesday to begin running the inland port as a branch of its Bay Area operation.
The West Sacramento port, connected to San Francisco Bay via a 43-mile ship channel, largely imports fertilizer and lumber, while loading rice on ships to Asia and the Middle East.

If West Sac winds up operating it, I'd be surprised if they didn't absorb/disband the Port PD. Just have their own guys do security there.
west sacramento police about 4 months ago says they need more officers and better pay and the west sacramento fire department was also bickering about the response time of the growing part of south port what used to be 2 min is now turning into 5 to 10 min for both pd and fire i say quit free ridindg the ladder truck around west sacramento maybe the city will have more spending on schools and other things that the city (((((needs))))bu ya rollincode i dont think its a good idea for the goverment to take over the port of sacramento only if we can vote
