The Morris Leathernian (,onijmny July, 2014 Conclusions: In general, Roseville citizens are very satisfied with their community, and very high ratings on most aspects of city operations are commonplace. The key issues facing decision -makers in the future are addressing perceptions about "rising crime" and "aging infrastructure, particularly road and streets." Property tax levels are a secondary concern, but still a limiting factor. Community development efforts should focus on attracting younger residents to the community while also helping seniors stay in the community, since two moderate concerns are the lack of starter homes for young families and the lack of assisted living opportunities for seniors. Information levels about City Government activities are very high in comparison with neighboring communities. Positive ratings of both the Mayor and City Council and City Staff are at the top of the Metropolitan Area. "Roseville City News," the city's newsletter, is exceptionally well regarded: it possesses a higher readership and effectiveness ratings than most peer communities. Citizens are clearly enthusiastic about their City. With the "City Booster" percentage at 24%, or four times the suburban norm, a large reservoir of goodwill has been established; this will serve decision -makers, in particular, very well as new issues are encountered and relatively tough decisions must be made. Methodology: This study contains the results of a telephone survey of 400 randomly selected residents of the City of Roseville. Survey responses were gathered by professional interviewers across the community between April 14th and 30`h, 2014. The average interview took 27 minutes.

In general, random samples such as this yield results projectable to their respective universe within f 5.0 percent in 95 out of 100 cases. 7
