At a council meeting on November 23, 2021, Jacobsen voted against bringing the building back to the ballot in February 2022.

In 2021, after a racist statue was erected in a busy Puyallup neighborhood, community members called for it to be removed. Acting as Puyallup City Councilmember, Jacobsen said the statue was protected as free speech. City activists proposed a plan for the city council to form a commission to review racist and discriminatory acts in the city. The council rejected the plan. Jacobsen said, "My personal problems with the plan we were given, graciously, by the people proposing it … was that the commission would have a scope of authority that we would not entitled to give them. If we were to put some more authority into the arts commission or the library board, to perhaps address this. We’ve talked about festivals, we’ve talked about book clubs, we’re talking about educational events that we could have, we’re open.”

In August 2019, a consultant offered the City of Puyallup options for replacing their police building with an updated safety building. The police stated that the current building had a leaky roof and too little space for their needs, forcing them to rent storage units for equipment and office space from a nearby credit union. Although initially hesitant about the price tag and perceived "fancy" design, Jacobsen said on January 14, 2020, that she had been convinced of the value and she was "ready to pull the trigger on this." The building lost the public vote by a margin of 0.7 percent (36.4 percent of registered voters turned in ballots).
