CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION 6/21/04 FIRE STATION #1 USE PLAN DISCUSSION ITEM DESCRIPTION: Discussion of Fire Station #1 for Community and Affiliated Group Use BACKGROUNDAND PROPOSAL: Until the fall of 2000 the Roseville Parks and Recreation Department and over 20 affiliated groups were housed at the former 36,000 sq. ft. Roseville Activity Center. This had been a vital part of the community serving as a hub for program, storage, display, meeting and work space for all. It was truly the center point for the community and numerous affiliated groups. The building also housed the Roseville Historical Society and provided them with over 800 square feet of display, work and archive storage space along with the provision of additional meeting space. In the fall of 2000 the Roseville Activity Center closed and the Roseville Parks and Recreation offices and a majority of the affiliated groups moved to the Fairview Community Center where the City leased 5115 square feet. The Roseville Historical Society is one of those groups that is currently at Fairview in a small 100 sq. ft. office and in dire need of additional display and archive storage space. Staff continues to search for other sites to locate community activities, storage of city and community equipment as well as locations where community volunteer groups can meet, organize and function. These groups provide a valuable service to the community and at a true volunteer rate. We feel that it is extremely important to continue to facilitate them as best as possible within available resources so that they can continue to provide excellent service to the community. In the fall of this year many changes will again occur and a unique opportunity will be presented. The Parks and Recreation Offices, Fire Administration and IT functions will be moving to City Hall. It is anticipated that a majority of the leased space at Fairview will be turned back to the School District including the Historical Society Office, Roseville Community Band equipment/music storage areas, general community group records storage areas, meeting space, as well as access to other room use as a part of the lease agreement. Space that is anticipated to be retained at Fairview will be for limited City and affiliated group equipment storage as well as the gym stage for the youth dance program. Staff proposes that when Fire Department Administration and IT functions vacate Fire Station #1 and relocate to City Hall that those upper level spaces at Fire Station #1 be allocated to the Roseville Historical Society, Roseville Community Band storage of equipment and music, storage and general officelwork space for various affiliated groups as well as multiuse meeting
