City of Roseville — 2014 Budget <br />Farms and nurseries dominated the area until the 1930s when commercial development arrived, attracted <br />by the wide -open space, convenient location, and the railroad. At the same time, people began leaving <br />the inner cities for the more spacious, less congested lifestyle of the suburbs. <br />By 1948 the township form of government could no longer accommodate the area's rapid growth. <br />Roseville incorporated as a village in May of 1948, followed by Falcon Heights and Lauderdale, which <br />led to Rose Township ceasing to exist. <br />Roseville's population and commercial development grew dramatically during the 1950s and 1960s. The <br />City then turned its focus from planning to redevelopment and preservation. Today Roseville is a mixed <br />land use community with a strong residential base and vibrant retail. It has become the commercial hub <br />of the northeastern metro area. <br />This area is considered to be a major population and economic growth area in the state, and among one <br />of the highly ranked economic growth areas in the country. The City of Roseville currently occupies a <br />land area of 13.7 square miles and serves a population of 33,690. Roseville is a completely developed <br />community and is bordered on all sides by other incorporated communities. <br />The City of Roseville has operated under the council- manager form of government since 1974. Policy - <br />making and legislative authority are vested in a city council consisting of the mayor and four other <br />members. The city council is responsible, among other things, for passing ordinances, adopting the <br />budget, appointing committees, and hiring the city manager. The city manager is responsible for <br />carrying out the policies and ordinances of the council, for overseeing the day -to -day operations of the <br />city government, and for appointing the heads of the various departments. The council is elected on a <br />non - partisan basis. Council members serve four -year staggered terms, with three council members <br />elected every four years and the mayor and one council member elected in staggered four -year terms. <br />The council and mayor are elected at large. <br />The City of Roseville provides a full range of services, including police and fire protection; the <br />construction and maintenance of highways, streets, and other infrastructure; water and sewer services <br />and recreational activities and cultural events. <br />Supplemental demographic and statistical information is shown below. <br />139 <br />
