REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Date: 1/13/2025 Item No.: 7.b. Department Approval City Manager Approval Item Description: Discuss next steps with the Maintenance Operations Center and License & Passport Center projects. 1 2 Background 3 On November 5, 2024, two referendum questions were on the general election ballot asking 4 Roseville voters whether a local sales tax should be implemented to fund two City projects. One 5 question asked to create a 0.5% local sales tax to fund the construction of a Maintenance Operations 6 Center (MOC). The second question asked to create a 0.5% local sales tax to fund the construction 7 of a new License and Passport Center (LPC). While separate questions, the approval of either one or 8 both questions would create a 0.5% local sales tax in Roseville. 9 10 The results from the election were as follows: 11 City Question 1 -Maintenance Operations Center 0.5% Sales Tax 12 Yes 11,263 13 No 9,171 14 City Question 2 - License and Passport Center 0.5% Sales Tax 15 Yes 9,465 16 No 10,831 17 18 Based on the results, the City can implement a 0.5% local sales tax to fund the construction of the 19 MOC up to an amount of $64 million. Conversely, since the referendum question regarding the LPC 20 failed, the City may not fund a new LPC with local sales tax funding. However, given the existing 21 space challenges for the LPC coupled with the fact the new MOC will need to use the space where 22 the existing LPC is located, there still is a need to replace the LPC. 23 24 With the split vote on the referendum questions and the complexity of implementing of the MOC 25 project, staff is bringing forward information for a City Council discussion on various facets of the 26 project in order to seek City Council feedback and direction. 27 28 Before getting into all of the details and steps of the process to implement a local sales tax, the City 29 Council should first weigh in on moving forward with the overall project. While there are many 30 details that need to be worked out, most significantly, how the needs of a new License and Passport 31 Center will be met, staff would like affirmation whether or not the Maintenance Operations Center 32(as represented by the pre-design plan and funded by the local sales tax) will proceed. A graphic of 33 the pre-design layout is included as Attachment 1. 34 35 Staff recommends that the Maintenance Operations Center project proceed. Page 1 of 9 Qbhf!5!pg!6:
