Roseville Public Works, Environment and Transportation Commission Agenda Item Date: November 24, 2020 Item No: 6 Item Description: Civic Campus Master Plan Update Background: On January 61h, 2020, the City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement with BKV Group for the Civic Campus Master Plan. The Master Plan project was started with the realization that there are long-term space needs, particularly for the License Center and the Maintenance Facility, that will eventually need to be addressed. Council members and City staff recognized that this shouldn't be done in a vacuum looking at only those particular needs, and any action to address that should be done with some overall plan for the entire campus, now referred to as the Civic Campus. It is important that an action to address the License Center long term not prohibit or limit action to address the Maintenance Facility needs, and vice versa. It was also important to review what future needs may occur at City Hall, and if any of those needs could be addressed at the same time that we address the other facilities' needs. It is important to note that there are no planned major improvements or expansions in the City's Capital Improvement Plan or any other planning document. The City is currently spending over $60,000 per year for various leased space to address seasonal storage needs. At some point, the City would like to address those needs with City -owned space. With the new Fairview Community Center, the City has also lost storage for recreational activities and affiliated association storage. These are additional needs that should be addressed long term. Once this plan is completed, staff will eventually start planning for some capital improvements and expansions, but only after considerable discussions with the City Council and the public. A major component of those discussions would be how to fund those improvements. Project Update: On May 18"', 2020, Council received a presentation with the first preliminary concepts. City staff and BKV took feedback from that meeting and compiled additional concepts for review and comment by the Council which were presented to the Council at their July 201h meeting. A public engagement effort was also started in late June with direct mailings to residents adjacent to the Civic Campus and an online survey for the general public to complete. The survey used very general questions to first familiarize the public with the concept of the Civic Campus and to generate general feedback from the public. Over 150 people completed the survey. The results of the survey were presented at the July 201h meeting.
