Regular City Council Meeting Monday, November 14, 2016 Page 14 that process. Councilmember Etten asked staff to report on how many square feet were involved in the License Center and Passport Office operations. Finance Director Miller reported that the current operations took up approximate- ly 3,300 square feet, but based on current growth over the last decade, opined it wasn’t worth doing anything less than 5,000 square feet minimum. Mr. Miller clarified that the footprint shown on the displayed map was provided only to show the potential impact to the site and adjacent properties with a 6,500 square foot building, and had not taken into consideration a second story or smaller or larger building on that same parcel. Councilmember Etten referenced staff’s identification of the need for an addition- al 2,000 square feet of leased space in the RCA (lines 28 – 29) . While seeing the need, Councilmember Etten opined that one way or another, the city would be looking to lease more space in the short-term. Finance Director Miller agreed that, if the viability of getting into a city-owned facility was three or more years out, he would recommend a significant invest- ment to the leased space, in addition to additional square footage, to provide a warmer and more inviting customer service look like the License Center used to have. Mr. Miller noted the current space and operations were cramped with many physical limitations as to how many customers could be processed; with many having to wait outside in all kinds of weather, or try to time their visits during less busy hours.

However, Mr. Miller noted there was no way to determine if those customers would return or simply have the incentive to go to another license center in the immediate area. Mr. Miller noted the im- portance as part of that concern with 80% of those customers visiting the License Center being other than Roseville residents. Councilmember Etten referenced his discussions with Parks & Recreation Direc- tor Brokke regarding space needs of that Department, shared space opportunities, and impacts to investing functions, as well as the Parks Master Plan concept for no net loss to available park space and acquisition of replacement square footage for any current park or open space that was eliminated. Councilmember McGehee stated that she echoed most of the comments of her colleagues, and the need to look at the big picture as part of this space need. However, Councilmember McGehee also noted the considerable amount of time discussing this with no action taken, and building up reserves to address space needs, but then frequent use of those reserves for other needs over the years. With the License Center being a good revenue generator for the city, Coun- cilmember McGehee recognized the need to make it a good experience for cus- tomers using it. While addressing several options for the License Center, includ- ing repurposing the Public Works Maintenance Facility with a second story and
