Regular City Council Meeting Monday, May 13, 2013 Page 20 As an upcoming Baby Boomer, Ms. Hildeon noted that as population's age, they become more dependent on police services; and this was true for the aging Rose- ville demographic model, and needs for community policing and solving prob- lems as they arise.
