City of Roseville — 2009 Budget The 2009 Budget attempts to continue incorporating the goals and strategies that were identified in the Imagine Roseville 2025 visioning process conducted in 2007. This process resulted in the citizen recommendation of the following goals: 1) Roseville is a welcoming community that appreciates differences and fosters diversity 2) Roseville is a desirable place to live, work, and play 3) Roseville has a strong and inclusive sense of community 4) Roseville residents are invested in their community 5) Roseville is a safe community 6) Roseville housing meets community needs 7) Roseville is an environmentally healthy community 8) Roseville has world- renowned parks, open space, and multi - generational recreation programs and facilities 9) Roseville supports the health and wellness of community members 10) Roseville supports high quality, lifelong learning 11) Roseville has a comprehensive, safe, efficient, and reliable transportation system 12) Roseville has well- maintained, efficient, and cost - effective public infrastructure 13) Roseville has technology that gives us a competitive advantage 14) Roseville has a growing, diverse, and stable revenue base 15) Roseville responsibly funds programs, services, and infrastructure to meet long -term needs It is expected that these goals will guide future budget decisions and in all likelihood will require significant financial resources. However, given current economic conditions, future appropriations have been placed on hold. For 2009 -2011, the State Legislature imposed levy limits which established a maximum operating levy increase for all municipalities in the state. While the City's 2009 levy is well below that maximum amount, the limit for 2010 and 2011 may inhibit the City's ability to maintain service levels. For 2009, the City froze spending for many budgeted areas, and eliminated a number of one -time appropriations in an effort to minimize tax levy increases. Finally, the 2009 Budget reflects the adopted budget and financial policies that helped guide budgeting and spending decisions. These policies were reaffirmed in 2008 and can be found in Appendix A of this document. The following budget document summarizes the 2009 Budget for all City programs and services. The information is presented in three sections. Section 1 — Executive Summary features a summary of the budget, funding sources, tax levy and tax impact, and a summary of financial trends. The purpose of this section is to provide a broad overview of city operations as a whole.
