Narrative <br />Ramsey County is in the process of planning an expansion to the Roseville Library at <br />2180 Hamline Ave. The extent of the construction will require that ail library services be <br />discontinued and all contents be removed from the buiiding. The closing is expected to <br />last approximately 15 months beginning approximately March 31, 2009. On May 21, <br />2008, the Ramsey County Library Board considered the option of completely <br />discontinuing Library services during the construction or providing limited services at <br />another location. They chose to provide the limited services. In support of that decision, <br />the Roseville City Council, at their September 22, 2008 meeting, adopted a resolution <br />encouraging the Library's continued operation within the City limits during the <br />construction process. At the direction of the Library Board, the Library staff reviewed a <br />number of locations for the interim services and recommended the Twin Lakes <br />Corporate Center III, 2680 Arthur Street in Roseville as the first choice. The size and <br />quality of the space, the easy access and the proximity to the Rosedale Shopping Center <br />all favored that choice. Further, they felt the quiet operation of the Library would be <br />compatible with the office/light industrial character of the area and the existing road <br />system would easily accommodate the traffic generated by the Library. At the <br />December 10, 2008 Library Board meeting, the general terms of a lease for the Twin <br />Lakes Corporate Center space were approved by the Board and staff were directed to <br />execute the lease. That action was ratified by the Ramsey County Board of <br />Commissioners at the December 16, 2008 Board meeting. The lease is for 15 months <br />commencing April 1, 2009. <br />
