OUR CHARGE: <br /> The Civic Engagement Task Force was established by the Roseville Human Rights <br /> Commission in pursuance of its charge from the Roseville City Council to "increase the <br /> sense of community by reaching out to all members of the community and ensuring that <br /> our city government and its activities,programs, and services are accessible, <br /> understandable, and responsive to all." (City Code, Chapter-2 04.03) <br /> We Believe: <br /> Civic participation is vital to democracy.,It takes many forms: individual voluntarism, <br /> volunteering on city commissions and committees, involvement with neighborhood <br /> groups or non-profit organizations and participation in elections and governmental <br /> processes. When residents are actively involved, civic decisions themselves are more <br /> likely to reflect and serve the needs and wishesof the community. Roseville residents <br /> are invested in their community. The purpose of this report into make recommendations <br /> to the Roseville City'Council for enhancing and increasing.civic engagement within all <br /> sectors of Roseville s-diverse cgmmunity. <br /> Why-Civic Engagement: <br /> The engagement of citizens creates,more effective government and more sound <br /> decisions Civically-engaged citizens=have a stronger sense of community. Citizens <br /> have knowledge of established community networks and resources that can assist the <br /> city getting information out quickly, efficiently, and economically. Demonstrating a <br /> commitment to civic engagement on the part of government helps dispel public cynicism <br /> and connect citizens more closely to their government, as well as allowing them more <br /> resources for authentic grass roots neighborhood planning. <br /> Our Process: <br /> We began as a subset of the Human Rights Commission and from there sought to add <br /> members to the Task Force attempting to balance the representation as much as possible <br />
