2009 — 2018 Capital Improvement Plan <br />License Center <br />The 2009-2018 License Center Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) has been developed in an effort <br />to identify and address the capital purchases necessary to support the City's License Center <br />function. The CIP was developed with consideration to the Imagine Roseville 2025 process, as <br />well as the required practices prescribed by the Minnesota Department of Public Safety and the <br />United States Department of State. <br />The License Center serves as a Deputy Registrar for the State of Minnesota for the issuance of <br />state-regulated licenses including; vehicle and drivers' licenses and DNR-issued licenses. In <br />addition, the License Center also issues passports as governed by the US Department of State. <br />The License Center's long-term goals and priorities include: <br />❖ Continue to expand the City's presence with metro-area auto dealers <br />❖ Re-allocate resources to address volume changes in the passport and tab renewal <br />functions <br />❖ Assess long-term facility options for a new License Center <br />In support of these goals, the License Center will need to continue to maintain the current <br />complement of computers, printers, passport cameras, and internet bandwidth. In addition, the <br />License Center will need to designate existing and future cash reserves for the eventual <br />construction of a new License Center facility. <br />Operational Impacts <br />At this time, there does not appear to be any external mandates or requirements that would <br />significantly impact the CIP. However, the emphasis on improved customer service and the <br />steady growth in internet-based activities will require continued capital investment. The larger <br />capital-related challenge will be the need to secure a long-term solution to the License Center <br />facility. This is addressed in the section above. <br />Currently the City leases 3,330 square feet of store space in the Lexington Shopping Center, <br />immediately North of Fire Station #1. While the City is enjoying below-market lease terms for <br />2008, beginning in 2009 the lease agreement will require a significant increase in rent. <br />Seginning in 2009, the City expects to pay $57,000 annually, with $3,000 annual increases <br />thereafter. Given these amounts, it is arguably in the City's best interest to either acquire or <br />construct a city-owned facility (perhaps a multi-purpose facility) to house the License Center. <br />10 <br />
