She also reported there are strict guidelines for what can and cannot occur at the ceremony and not everyone participating in the ceremony is from Roseville. Commissioner Djevi commented last year there was a Roseville resident who wanted to host a dinner for new citizens as part of community building, but he does not believe the City could be part of this. The Commission agreed. Commissioner Groff stated at the smaller events with Mr. Yunke, they could promote how to get involved in City government.
