2009 — 2018 Capital Improvement Plan License Center The 2009-2018 License Center Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) has been developed in an effort to identify and address the capital purchases necessary to support the City's License Center function. The CIP was developed with consideration to the Imagine Roseville 2025 process, as well as the required practices prescribed by the Minnesota Department of Public Safety and the United States Department of State. The License Center serves as a Deputy Registrar for the State of Minnesota for the issuance of state-regulated licenses including; vehicle and drivers' licenses and DNR-issued licenses. In addition,, the License Center also issues passports as governed by the US Department of State. The License Center's long-term goals and priorities include.- ❖ Continue to expand the City's presence with metro-area auto dealers ❖ Re-allocate resources to address volume changes in the passport and tab renewal functions **.* Assess long-term facility options for a new License Center In support of these goals, the License Center will need to continue to maintain the current complement of computers,, printers,, passport cameras, and internet bandwidth. In addition, the License Center will need to designate existing and future cash reserves for the eventual construction of a new License Center facility. Operational Impacts At this time,, there does not appear to be any external mandates or requirements that would significantly impact the CIP. However, the emphasis on improved customer service and the steady growth in Internet -based activities will require continued capital investment. The larger capital-related challenge will be the need to secure a long-term solution to the License Center facility. This is addressed in the section above. Currently the City leases 3,330 square feet of store space in the Lexington Shopping Center, immediately North of Fire Station 41. While the City is enjoying below-market lease terms for 2008,, beginning in 2009 the lease agreement will require a significant increase in rent. Beginning in 200 9,, the City expects to pay $,57,000 annually, with $,3,000 annual increases thereafter. Given these amounts,, it is arguably in the City's best interest to either acquire or construct a city-owned facility (perhaps a multi-purpose facility) to house the License Center. ME
