79 Staff asked Ehlers to do some financial analysis on what the annual debt service would be <br />80 for the new building. The analysis used borrowing in the amount of $14.7 million and <br />81 looked at 15-year and 20-year debt service schedules. To account for issuance costs and <br />82 potential contingencies, the financing model uses a $14.7M bond issuance. For the 15- <br />83 year bond, annual debt service would be slightly under $1.4 million. For a 20-year bond, the <br />84 annual debt service is slightly less than 1.2 million. As the City Council will recall, in 2011, <br />85 the City, using its port authority powers, issued $27 million in bonds to implement the parks <br />86 improvement plan and to construct a new fire station. The final payment of $2,485,500 for <br />87 these bonds will be fully paid off in 2028 using 2027 levy funds. As a result, $2,485,500 of <br />88 existing levy funds will be available to use towards new debt payments for a new building <br />89 starting in 2028. <br />90 <br />91 Other alternatives that could help fund the construction of the new building would be a <br />92 combination of new tax levy and License and Passport Center revenue. Currently, <br />93$200,000 of License and Passport Center revenue is transferred to the City's General Fund <br />94 for general tax relief. This amount could be utilized to help pay towards the debt service <br />95 but would need to be replaced in the budget with either new tax levy or equivalent cuts in <br />96 the budget. <br />97 <br />98 Staff has included comments received from the public about the License and Passport <br />99 Center and City Dance Studio as Attachment 5. <br />100 <br />101 Policy Objectives <br />102 The construction of a new Maintenance Operations Center and License and Passport <br />103 Center (along with the City Dance Studio) will allow the City to continue to provide needed <br />104 and valuable services to the residents and businesses of the community in a more efficient <br />105 manner. The new facilities will ensure that the City's roads, utilities, vehicles, and <br />106 equipment are maintained at the desired level and that valuable services such as <br />107 recreational programming and driver license and passport processing are conveniently <br />108 available to community residents. <br />109 <br />110 Equity Impact Summary <br />111 The new maintenance operations center and license center will provide a benefit to the <br />112 residents, businesses, and visitors to Roseville. The new facilities will allow for more <br />113 efficient services to be provided for residents, customers, and users of city parks and <br />114 infrastructure. As with all City projects, staff will continue to identify potential unintended <br />115 consequences and identify potential alternatives to disproportionally impactful action. <br />116 <br />117 Budget Implications <br />118 Regardless of the choice made regarding whether to build a new LPCDS or lease space for <br />119 those activities, there will be a cost that will need to be covered by tax levy and/or program <br />120 revenue. Depending on the timing and decisions made by the City Council, existing debt <br />121 levy could be repurposed to limit the amount of new tax levy needed to fund the new <br />122 building or annual lease payments. While revenue from the License and Passport Center <br />123 and the City's dance program could potentially be used to offset need of new tax levy, there <br />124 would not be enough revenue to cover 100 percent of the costs for the space, whether it is <br />125 leased or owned. Also any repurposing of revenue that currently goes towards tax levy <br />126 relief, would need to be made up either through new tax levy or equivalent cuts in the <br />127 budget. <br />Page 3 of 4 <br />Qbhf!57!pg!488 <br /> <br />
