City of Roseville — 2015 Budget For 2015 the City continued the momentum gained in previous years to strengthen its asset replacement funding mechanisms. Funding far vehicle & equipment replacement, eXisting pathways, and utility infrastructure are at sustainable levels and should only require inflationary-type increases in the future. In 2015 the City will continue its Parks Renewal Program which will systematically replace much of the City's park system assets that were constructed in the 1970's, and 80's. When finished, the Program will entail an investment of $19 million. Future capital investment will be needed for street & general facility replacements as well as park improvements that were not funded by the Renewal Program. The 2015 Budget attempts to continue incorporating the goals and strategies that were identified in the IR2025 visioning process completed 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-generationa] 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 During the past few years, the City has achieved some short term objectives outlined in the IR2025 process. In early 2012, the City Council developed an action plan to achieve longer-range goals. However, given current economic conditions future appropriations for I�R2025 initiatives will be especially challenging. It does however, remain an important guideline for determining services and service levels. In 2012, the City Council also adopted a new mission statement and community aspirations which also drive budgetary decisions. Those aspirations include: •:� Welcoming, inclusive, and respectful; ❖ Safe and law-abiding; ❖ Economically prosperous, with a stable and broad tax base; ❖ Secure in our diverse and quality housing and neighborhoods; ❖ Environmentally responsible, with well-maintained natural assets; ❖ Physically and mentally active and healthy; 2
