Administration Department
Memorandum
To: Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Allyn G. Kuennen, Assistant City Administrator
Copy: Justin Miller, City Administrator
Date: June 15, 2019
Subject: City Hall Master Plan
In 2014, the city hired Wold Architects to review internal workflow, office spaces, and
conference rooms to identify any revisions that should be considered to increase internal and
external operational efficiencies and customer service. This review resulted in the completion
of a City Hall Space Utilization Report.
The most significant changes recommended in the report was to relocate the Community &
Economic Development Department from its current location in the west wing of the
building to the north wing to be adjacent to the Engineering and Inspections Departments;
and to relocate the Marion Conference Room from the back of the building to the front of the
building to be adjacent to the main lobby and entrance.
These revisions would address several issues including: eliminating the need for residents and
developers to shuttle between the north and west wing of the building to obtain permits, get
answers to their questions, or to resolve development or construction related issues. It would
also provide efficiencies in staff and project coordination between engineering, planning and
inspections. The city consistently receives comments from developers, residents and visitors
at City Hall regarding the need for a “one stop” window for zoning, building, and engineering
permits and related development requests.
Another benefit from relocating departments is the ability to create a more functional, large
conference room off the main front lobby of the building for the public and staff to utilize.
Relocating the Marion Conference Room to the front of City Hall would provide more direct
and easy access for the public attending City Council work sessions and advisory board
meetings, and a room configuration that is better suited to accommodate presentations and
larger discussion groups.
Staff has also looked at preliminary plans to relocate the reception desk to a window based
out of the human resources office. This would provide a more secure location for our front
desk staff while still allowing for a window to greet and conduct business with visitors to city
2
hall. The reception staff currently share duties with human resources, and having them
physically located in that area will also create efficiencies in their work flow.
Staff has attached the City Hall Space Utilization Study for your reference during our
discussion at the City Council retreat. If you have any questions before then, please contact
me.

Executive Summary
Introduction
Wold Architects and Engineers is pleased to submit this City Hall Space Utilization Study to the Lakeville City Council.
Lakeville City Hall was originally constructed in 1989 and an addition was completed in 2001 bringing to gross area of
the facility to 32,350 square feet. The facility houses multiple departments including Administration, Finance, Human
Resources, Communications, Information Systems, Community & Economic Development, Parks and Recreation,
Planning, Engineering and Inspections. The facility also houses the Council Chambers and numerous conference rooms.
The facility is located at 20195 Holyoke Ave, Lakeville.
Wold Architects and Engineers was commissioned in late 2013 to perform a City Hall Space Utilization Study. The
objective of this study was to identify potential operational and functional efficiencies that could be implemented, before
or concurrent with the investment in scheduled maintenance and security upgrades already planned in the city’s Capital
Improvement Plan. The intent of the study is to determine how to best reorganize or reconfigure departments within the
existing City Hall facility to streamline public service, improve safety and efficiency and maximize internal collaboration
between departments and staff, while also planning for the future potential growth of each department.
Since the addition was completed thirteen years ago, numerous changes in the organization of city departments have
occurred as well as the manner in which departments interact with the public. Incorporation of technology has changed
business practices and how staff have worked too. A select few are:
• Developers or homeowners looking to improve their residence or business must shuttle between opposite ends
of the City Hall to meet with Economic Development & Planning, and then Engineering and Inspections.
• Finance, while handling the confidential transactions of the citizens, has many visits from in-person paying
utility customers who are able unabated to enter directly into the Finance office work area. Sometimes, these
customers are also arriving frustrated by a billing and escalate the interaction to the point where some staff do
not feel safe.
• Engineering is separated from one of its divisions – Environmental Resources.
• Council Work Sessions and staff meetings are held in the ill-proportioned Marion Conference Room, leaving
meeting attendees and participants unduly separated by distance from the discussions that occur.
Core Group Recommendation
With the conclusion of this City Hall Space Utilization Study, the Core Planning Group recommends that the City Council
consider implementing the proposed, phased reorganization of City Hall with minor remodeling to facilitate the effective
delivery of customer service by the appropriate clustering of departments, to improve safety for public and staff, and to
foster the collaboration of staff by providing better internal adjacencies and efficiencies. Implementing these proposals
concurrent with planned capital improvements will minimize costs compared to any other time. As well, this proposed
reorganization will create space efficiencies which will delay any additions to the facility from being needed for the
foreseeable future.

Introduction – Objectives
Wold Architects and Engineers is pleased to submit this Space Utilization Study at the City Hall to the Lakeville City
Council.
Lakeville City Hall was originally constructed in 1989 and an addition was completed in 2001 bringing to gross area of
the facility to 32,350 square feet. The facility houses multiple departments including Administration, Finance, Human
Resources, Communications, Information Systems, Community & Economic Development, Parks and Recreation,
Planning, Engineering and Inspections. The facility also houses the Council Chambers and numerous conference rooms.
The facility is located at 20195 Holyoke Ave, Lakeville.
Wold Architects and Engineers was commissioned in late 2013 to perform a City Hall Space Utilization Study. The
objective of this study was to identify potential operational and functional efficiencies that could be implemented, before
or concurrent with the investment in scheduled maintenance, security and accessibility upgrades such as public service
counters already planned in the city’s Capital Improvement Plan. The intent of the study is to determine how to best
reorganize or reconfigure departments within the existing City Hall facility to streamline public service, improve safety
and maximize internal collaboration and efficiencies between departments and staff, while also planning for the future
potential growth of each department.

Needs and Objectives – Summary of Deficiencies
At the kick-off meeting, the group generated a list of goals and objectives to help direct the purpose of the study.
Consensus by the Core Planning Group was developed surrounding the following list, which helped keep the team
focused during the decision making process.
Guiding Principles:
• Generate efficiencies while balancing cost.
• Prioritize public interaction per department - Departments being in appropriate locations of the building based
on how much public interaction and staff interaction (internal customer service) they have.
• Utilize technology to improve efficiency.
• Friendly, inviting space for public to come in and have a conversation conveniently located off the Main Entry.
• Parking: accessibility for customers and staff parking.
• Storage: how to efficiently store documents that need to be kept as hard copies.
• Storage of items that get moved in and out of building (Parks and Recreation Department and Engineering
Department equipment).
• Conference space: proximity, function, and layout of space should be examined.
• Security within building should be considered.
• Customer way-finding should be considered. The group discussed it might be helpful to customers to add a
signage display / Map at main entry for customers and schedule of events.
It was determined that although some future growth of staffing may occur, it was instinctively felt that the building likely
had sufficient space to accommodate that growth. Therefore, accommodating future growth was not a guiding principle.

Needs and Objectives – Summary of Deficiencies (Cont.)
Each department head completed a survey helping the team identify functional requirements for the department, including
necessary adjacencies with other departments or rooms within the City Hall, current and projected staffing needs, security
and technology needs/ deficiencies, type and amount of public interaction and type services provided. Informational
interviews and tours of departments solidified the needs and deficiencies for each department.
Building-Wide Programmatic Deficiencies:
• Conference Rooms
- Incorporate technology into rooms
- Marion Conference room size and configuration needs improvement
- Inspections and Finance would like small conference rooms within their departments
• Dedicated storage rooms are lacking within departments
• No receiving area or staging area for deliveries
• Mail room is not centrally located
• Security is a big concern across all departments
• Hard copy filing is diminishing- filing areas could be reduced or eliminated
• Proximity to exterior door requested by: Engineering, Inspections, and Parks & Rec
• Seasonal staff affect the area requirements for: Engineering, Environmental Resources, and Parks & Rec
• Various ADA and accessibility improvements
Department-Specific Programmatic Deficiencies:
• Planning and CED interact with Engineering and Inspections on a frequent daily basis, therefore closer
proximity to each other would increase efficiency.
• Inspections and Parks and Recreation have a lot of public interaction, therefore larger public counters for both
departments are desired.
• Communications department is only department without exterior windows
• Finance needs a secured public counter or sub-lobby
• Server Room would be difficult to move
• Info Systems would like a work bench/ staging area outside of the Server room since the room is too cold to
work in from cooling the servers.
• HR has privacy concerns with the open layout and would like to be closed off from adjacent departments.
• Elections storage and staging area is needed within the building.
• The Recreation Program Supervisor would benefit from acoustical privacy due to the type of work performed.
• Planning needs a better public counter for reviewing plans with a visitor.

Needs and Objectives – Summary of Deficiencies (Cont.)
Following the exploration of programmatic needs, the City of Lakeville shared its 2014-18 Capital Improvement Plan for
City Hall. Ever since the facility was originally constructed 25 years ago and added onto 13 years ago, it appears to have
been well-maintained. An exhaustive study of facility conditions was therefore not part of the scope of this study, nor was
it needed due to the general good condition beyond those projects already identified in the CIP. Below is a summary of
the items being planned for implementation.
Facility Issues:
• Repair sinking City Hall west wing floor slab.
• Carpet Replacement: Engineering, Inspections, Parks & Rec, North Hallway.
• Replace Public Counter laminate countertops in Parks & Rec, Engineering, and Inspections.
• Fire Alarm System Upgrade
• Paint Walls in Engineering, Environmental Resources, Inspections and Parks & Rec.
• Smartstruxure HVAC system software server and remote for City building BAS future updates
• Smartstruxure HVAC system integration hardware and software updates.
• Replace exit and emergency lights.
• Replace rooftop air handling unit S3.
• Repair and refinish wood doors.
• New high efficiency boilers.
• Reroof area D – 2001 new addition.

City Hall Space Utilization Study

Recommended Solutions – Summary of Recommendations
During the course of the study, the Core Group identified the highest priorities that would help improve the efficiency of
the departments within City Hall. The biggest concern is the need for Engineering, Inspections, Planning and Community
& Economic Development departments to be located adjacent to each other within the building. This provides for not only
better staff collaboration, but more importantly better customer service. The master plan recommended by the Core
Planning Group addresses this issue by proposing the relocation of Planning and Community & Economic Development
to the same wing as the other departments, essentially taking over the north wing. The goal is to centralize the
development services counters to provide better customer service and encourage staff interaction and communication
between similar departments.
To accommodate the moves of Planning and Economic & Community Development to the north wing, the relocation of
Parks & Recreation must occur. The need to relocate Parks and Recreation to the opposite end of the building allowed
the Core Group to reassess how the organization of the west wing could foster better customer service as well as staff
collaboration. The final proposed reorganized layout addresses the desire for the two areas of the Communications
department to be located next to each other. It allows Parks & Recreation to be located next to an exterior entrance and
have a large storage area. It allows Human Resources to be reconfigured to increase privacy by creating their own
conference room and be closed off to adjacent departments. It allows a more effective workspace for Information
Systems. Finally, it proposes that Finance be located adjacent to Administration and within a secured area that public
can access for service, but cannot penetrate into the work area without authorization.
Another benefit from rearranging departments is the ability to create a more functional, large conference room, as well as
adding a few mid-sized conference rooms off the main hallway for public and staff to utilize. A large
conference/community room is located off the Lobby and can be used for Council Workshops or Planning Commission
meetings during evening hours. Locating the conference/community room at the front of the building also provides for
more direct and easier access for the public attending meetings at City Hall and an improved room configuration that is
better suited to accommodate presentations and larger discussion groups. In total, the proposed reorganization adds two
new conference rooms and relocated/ renovated an additional three conference rooms. The ability to improve technology
within these spaces meets one of the original guiding principles established by the Core Planning Group.
Because the facility must remain operational during construction, the Core Planning Group has developed a phasing plan
that would break down the construction by department in order to keep inconveniences at a minimum and maximize the
efficiencies of the renovation process. Because the building is near capacity, at least one department needs to move off-
site to start the process.
In addition, a major factor in the development of an implementation plan was the need to accommodate the city’s planned
capital improvements to City Hall, such as the repairs to the sinking slab in the 2001 addition. This work requires the
vacating of the entire area to allow the slab to be raised all at once to minimize the cracking of the existing slab or walls.
This is disruptive, but allows the start of the phased construction to occur while departments will be relocated off site
anyway. The following pages depict the proposed phasing diagrams suggested order of implementation for the
masterplan.
