The city of Pittsburgh is looking to lease a warehouse facility for the bureau of police for about $1 million.

The measure was introduced to City Council on Tuesday with no discussion.

According to the legislation, the city would enter a lease with WAG 2 LLC for just over $1 million for a warehouse at 510 McDonald Street.

The warehouse would primarily be used by the Bureau of Police’s Narcotics and Vice Division, Public Safety Director Lee Schmidt wrote in a letter asking City Council to consider the lease.

A spokeswoman for the Department of Public Safety did not immediately have additional information, including details regarding how the space would be used, the dimensions of the warehouse or the duration of the lease.

Council could take a preliminary vote on the measure as early as next week, with a final vote the following week.
