79 facility due to space and operational needs as well as the fact that the new MOC will need to use the 80 land currently occupied by the LPC. In addition, the removal of the Lexington Shoppes to make 81 space for the MOC, will also require the Parks and Recreation Department to relocate the dance 82 studio and summer staff office space. As part of the pre-design, it was intended that the City dance 83 studio and some office space would be located on the second floor of the LPC. If the LPC project 84 does not happen or is significantly reduced, the City will need to find space for the City’s dance 85 studio and seasonal office needs. 86 87 A new facility for the LPC is important to construct as the continued operation of the LPC provides 88 convenient and efficient motor vehicle licensing and passport services to residents of Roseville and 89 surrounding communities. In addition, its operation helps reduce the tax levy needs for the 90 City. Annually, the LPC provides $200,000 of property tax relief for the City’s residents through a 91 transfer of dollars from the License Center Fund to the General Fund. 92 93 As the City Council is aware, the approved pre-design plan for the City Campus was to tear down 94 the existing Lexington Shoppes building where the current LPC is located and relocate the new LPC 95 facility to south of Woodhill Drive in the area currently occupied by the City’s Maintenance 96 Facility. As this space will be available for use once the current Maintenance Facility is demolished, 97 staff proposes the LPC and dance studio be located on the City Campus as shown in the Civic 98 Campus Pre-Design Study. 99 100 There are some options for the Council to consider regarding replacing the LPC. They include: 101 1. Closing the License and Passport Center 102 2. Leasing a new facility in a different part of Roseville 103 3. Locating the LPC on the former maintenance facility property as shown on the Civic Campus 104 Pre-Design Study 105 4. Consider relocating the LPC on the City Campus, but in a different place than shown as part 106 of the Pre-Design study, such as utilizing some of the existing maintenance facility structure 107 or keeping the LPC on the north side of Woodhill but in a new building. 108 Staff does not recommend the closing of the LPC due to the benefit it provides to community 109 residents both in services and property tax relief. 110 111 Regarding leasing a new LPC facility elsewhere in Roseville, staff has not done any analysis or 112 review of possibilities. If that is the desired action by the City Council, a third party would be 113 needed to assist staff in locating a site, negotiating terms and conditions, and estimating the build-out 114 costs. 115 116 Similarly, the City would need to hire a third party to evaluate the feasibility and costs of using 117 portions of the existing maintenance facility or relocating the LPC on a different part of the City 118 Campus. At this point, staff does not have information on the costs or the timelines to pursue 119 options 2 and 4 and would need to bring back details to a future meeting for City Council 120 consideration. 121 122 Question #3 What option(s) should staff pursue regarding the future of the License and 123 Passport Center and dance studio? 124 125 If the decision is to construct a new LPC on City property, alternative funding sources must be Page 3 of 9 Qbhf!7!pg!6:
