Background and Rationale
body
With the move of personnel from the East Building to Metro Square in early 2026, there will be a large quantity of surplus furniture and assorted other fixtures from the East Building that will require removal and disposition. Furniture includes workstations, office sets, chairs, file cabinets, shelving and miscellaneous other items that have served their useful life. These items will need to be dismantled, moved to the loading dock, and removed for recycling and disposition as appropriate. A project of this size requires a considerable amount of time and funding to complete. This work must be completed in a timely fashion to prepare the building for sale as the buyer has no interest in these items.
Resolution B2023-079 authorized the sale of the Ramsey County Care Center (‘Care Center’) to NUWAY Alliance. Per the resolution, proceeds from the sale were placed in a holding project as a project budget in the 2023 Capital Projects Fund. Requests for use of these funds were to be presented to the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners through the request for board action process.
