<br />o The city proposed a $76.9 million investment plan to replace both facilities with new <br />ones that will better support city services. <br />o This November, Roseville voters will consider a half-cent (0.5%) local sales tax to <br />finance the “Invest in Roseville” plan over 20 years. <br /> Developing the “Invest in Roseville” Plan <br />o City leaders and staff worked with residents and experts to identify needs for the <br />Maintenance Facility and License and Passport Center. Space-needs assessments and <br />community input revealed that larger, more efficient buildings would enhance city <br />services and cut costs. <br /> Initial conversation on space needs began in 2016 <br /> Referendum will be on the ballot on November 5, 2024 <br /> Challenges at the public Works and Parks Maintenance Facility <br />o The Maintenance Facility is the operational hub for city equipment and vehicles, <br />water and sewer systems, road work, snow removal, and critical maintenance of the <br />city’s 32 parks. <br />o The facility has only one-third of the space it needs to operate efficiently. <br />o With parts of the building dating to 1957, much of the facility is outdated. <br /> Challenges at the License and Passport Center <br />o As one of the busiest registrars in the state, the License and Passport Center <br />completes 185,000 transactions for driver’s licenses, vehicle tabs, vehicle titles, <br />hunting/fishing licenses, and passport annually. <br />o The facility has only half the space it needs to operate efficiently. <br /> Invest in Roseville Plan <br />o New License and Passport Center: Designed for Future Growth <br /> The new center will have nearly two times the amount of space at the current <br />facility. <br /> More efficient passport and licensing services for thousands of city residents <br />and other Minnesotans. <br /> Second floor of building will be used for Park and Recreation programming <br />(i.e. Dance Studio) <br />o New Maintenance Operations Center: Streamlining Essential Operations <br /> Nearly three times the space at the current facility <br /> One-stop-shop for a variety of critical storage, service, and maintenance <br />needs. <br />o Cost <br /> The total construction cost of both buildings is $76.9 million <br /> The half-cent local sales tax is expected to generate $76.9 million, plus <br />interest and bond issuance costs, over 20 years. <br /> The city chose this financing plan to ensure the projects meet our challenges, <br />while trying to minimize the tax impact on residents. <br />2 <br /> <br /> <br />
