Administration Department Memo To: Roseville City Council cc: Roseville Department Heads From: Patrick Trudgeon, City Manager Date: August 12, 2019 Re: City Manager 2020 Proposed Budget I am pleased to present to you my proposed 2020 City of Roseville budget. I have approached the creation of the 2020 budget with the intention of meeting our organizational needs while keeping the impact on the taxpayer in mind. Roseville is a complex city. Though our population signs say that we have 33,600 residents, we serve a much larger population than that. Being a first-ring suburb adjacent to St. Paul and Minneapolis that serves as a regional shopping destination, there are many people who are in Roseville on a daily basis. To illustrate: We have 35,000 persons visit Roseville daily due to their employment with Roseville businesses We are a regional retail destination, with 14 million coming to Rosedale annually and tens of thousands people visiting our restaurants, hotels, parks, and other shops in the city each month. Up to 80,000 people travel through Roseville daily on Hwy 36, I 35W, and our numerous County Roads While all of these people are in Roseville for various reasons, once they are in Roseville, they use Roseville’s roads, parks, and city services. We need to respond to medical and law enforcement issues regardless of whether they are Roseville residents or not. All of the activity requires the city to allocate additional resources above what is needed for a community of Roseville’s size. Roseville is fortunate to have a large and diverse tax base that includes single-family, multi-family, retail, office, and industrial properties. However, I am mindful that as a public sector manager, there is a need to be fiscally responsible and carefully consider spending requests as the majority of individualsthat pay for city services, programs, and infrastructure are Roseville taxpayers. To that end, city staff always look for efficiencies or Page 1 of 19
