for the long term. Now the task is to do so in such a way that the impact on tax dollars is <br />minimized. <br /> <br />~HORT TERM OPTIONS <br /> <br />The enclosed expansion space analysis atlempts to summarize the space available in existing <br />buildings within the City of Ramsey. As you can see, there are a wide variety of options and <br />there is space available. After reviewing this information, it would appear that there are two <br />practical solutions to our short term space needs: <br /> <br />1) <br /> <br />The CAPCO Building is well suited for use as a police station with ample space for <br />storage and ample space for meeting rooms. If the City were to purchase this <br />facility, the secondary use is highly attractive for economic development <br />purposes once alternative space is made available (presumably at the City Hall <br />location). <br /> <br />2) <br /> <br />The Ramsey Medical Center is located nearby and, although finished space is <br />limited, the engineering function could operate out of those quarters with minor <br />lease hold improvements. <br /> <br />To this point, Staff has only gone so far as collecting information and no negotiating over price <br />or improvements has taken place. Following discussion, the Council may wish to direct Staff to <br />further investigate and/or negotiate terms for available space. <br /> <br />Council Action: <br /> <br />Discussion <br /> <br />Review Checklist: <br /> <br />City Administrator .X. <br />City Attorney <br />City Engineer ~' <br />Community Development Director <br /> <br />Chief of Police <br />Finance Officer <br />Planning & Zoning Comm. <br />Park & Recreation Comm. <br /> <br />X <br /> <br /> <br />
