license center Subject: license center From: Rogerhessjr@aol.com Date: Sat, 6 Aug 2005 22:31:17 EDT To: city.council@ci.rose�ilfe.mn.us council members, i am glad to see that the city staff is even considering moving the license center onto city property, though they really want to increase the space that they rent. it makes no sense at all to even think about adding another $15,000 a year in rent paid to the shopping center. � don't agree with their estimate of 18 months to build a building on city property. look at perkins - they built their new building in a fraction of that time and even the huge target store is not going to take nearly that long. i would think that 3 sides and a roof could be attached to the north side of the skating center in less than 3 months. i still would like to see a drive-up lane for license tabs, which would decrease the space needed inside of the building. finally, i still think one of the biggest problems with the license center is the hours that it is open. since the monday-friday hours are 9-5, there is no way for the majority of the public to get there during the week, so saturday's are very overcrowded. i went there today, saturday, to renew my license tabs and my driver's license and the license tabs were handled very quickly, but the wait was way too (ong for me to even attempt to renew my driver's license. if you work 8-4 or 9-5 you can not get to the license center monday through friday. they really need to have at least one or two nights where they are open until at least 7 pm so that people can get there during the week. even bloomington has one night when they are open late. one or two longer hour nights would cut down on the large waits on saturday. thank you for your considerations, roger b. hess, jr. 1914 wagener place roseville, mn � =� rxf J 8�8l�U0� I:��r Ph11
