VI. GENERAL FUND CAPITAL EXPENDITURES A. General Government Roseville City Hall is about 24,000 square feet in size. All the General Government functions currently operate out of this building. In addition, the Police Department also operates out of the building utilizing about 2,000 square feet of space. A City Center Task Force is currently reviewing the need for and establishing plans for the renovation of or addition to City Hall. A primary component of this would be an expansion of the Police facility given that the department is currently experiencing space deficiencies. These deficiencies are anticipated to become worse as the City adds more residents and employees. There is currently no funding for this work, and any future funding would come from a referendum vote for a bond issue which all residents would pay for through an increase in their property taxes. Given that the major expansion effort would come from a referendum and no General Fund tax dollars would be used, the majority of costs for any potential expansion or renovation of City Hall will not be included in the fiscal analysis. For this reason and also for the fact that there will not be a significant increase in General Government staff - refer to Section V, Part A, Part 8 for details - additional General Government space needs will not be required to maintain the approximate same level of service. Additional Police Department space, however, will be required to maintain the same level of service given that relatively more patrol officers will be hired. Therefore, associated building costs for Police will be included. This is discussed further in Part 2 below. B. Public Safety 1. Police Department New Officer Start-Up Costs As indicated in Section V, Part B new patrol officers will be triggered based on population growth and new nonresidential trips. Based on current service levels, a new officer will be needed for every 1,276 residents and for every 24,057 nonresidential trips. In addition to the annual operating costs discussed in Section V, Part B, there will also be one~ time start up costs per officer as summarized in the table below. These initial one-time costs total $4,900 and will be incurred on a pay as you go basis as officers are "hired." Page 27 Tischler & Associates, Inc.
