The facility also houses the City’s vehicle maintenance operations which maintains over 200 vehicles including police and fire vehicles. Parks and Recreation Roseville’s Parks Maintenance staff, housed in the Maintenance Facility, maintains 32 award winning parks, seven rentable buildings and picnic shelters, an arboretum, skating center, nature center and more. All of these facilities are available and used by individuals outside of the City of Roseville. Further, the Roseville Area School District, which serves Roseville, Little Canada, Falcon Heights, and portions of Shoreview and Maplewood, make use of Roseville Park facilities for educational programming and sports events. Youth sports associations that serve this and additional surrounding communities also make use of Roseville park facilities. Regional Transportation Systems Roseville maintenance staff, by agreement, are required to maintain trails, sidewalks and other pathway facilities along the regional roadway system within Roseville. This includes clearing snow off of major regional corridor trails such as County Road C, Fairview Ave and Lexington Ave. Staff is also responsible for maintaining lighting and other amenities along these same corridors. The staff, equipment and vehicles used to maintain this infrastructure is housed at the Roseville Maintenance Facility. FACILITY DEFICINCIES This facility, originally constructed on this site in 1957, has been expanded and remodeled numerous times over the past 65 years. However, City operations have outgrown the space and there is no room to expand on the current site. The City has conducted two major space needs studies over the past 6 years including a thorough Space Needs Study and a follow up Civic Campus Master Plan study. Both studies indicated that given current operations and expected growth that the Maintenance Facility should be approximately 100,000 square feet in size, nearly 40% larger than the current size of the facility. This need for simple space is highlighted by the fact the City is forced to store trailers, castings, replacement poles and other materials outside year round, reducing the serviceable life of much of the material. The City is also currently leasing seasonal storage space offsite to house equipment and vehicles that don’t fit in the current facility. Some of this space is actually located outside the City of Roseville at the State Fair grounds. Staff is then forced to rotate equipment and vehicles seasonally. Also, the City is currently paying over $60,000 per year for this lease space, which will of course increase over time. As well as being too small, much of the facility is outdated and behind modern standards and requirements. A prime example of this is the vehicle wash bay. It is undersized for the City’s large vehicles such as snow plows and the jetter, forcing maintenance staff to wash off vehicles
