Attachment 1 City Managers Office Memo ToRoseville City Council cc Roseville Department Heads From Patrick Trudgeon, City Manager DateAugust 25, 2025 Re City Manager 2026 Proposed Budget 2 I am pleased to present the City Council information about the proposed 2026 City of Roseville 3 budget. 4 5 As I mentioned in previous budget messages, but it bears repeating, Roseville is a complex city 6 that serves a larger population than its actual residents. As a regional commercial and retail 7 destination, Roseville has 35,000 persons journey to Roseville daily for their work and up to 8 80,000 people traveling through the city every 24 hours on our numerous State and County Roads. 9 These visitors use Roseville’s roads, parks, and city services. We need to respond to medical and 10 law enforcement issues regardless of whether they are Roseville residents or not. All this activity 11 requires the City to allocate additional resources above what is needed for a community of 12 Roseville’s size. 13 14 The 2026 budget continues previous budgetinvestments that addressed increasing demands on 15 city services and maintains investment in our programs, services, and employees in a responsible 16 and sustainable manner. Personnel costs continue to drive increases in our budget. 17 18 The City Council will notice that my budget memo will take a different approach this year in an 19 effort to provide more information and transparency for the City Council and the public. As you 20 will see, given the multiple pressures on the budget and the range of approaches that can be taken, 21 I am presenting different options for the City Council to consider when deciding on the final 22 budget and tax levy. 23 24 As the City Council is aware, this budget memo is the first of many steps for the 2026 City Budget 25 and levy. After the City Council presentation on August 25, I will present information about next 26 year's budget and levy to the Finance Commission on August 27. At your September 15 meeting, 27 the City Council will hear recommendations from the Finance Committee regarding the 2026 28 budget and levy. At the September 22 meeting, the City Council will adopt a preliminary 2026 29 budget and tax levy, along with the preliminary Roseville EDA levy. A public hearing on the 30 budget will be held on December 1. The finaldecision on the 2026 city and EDA budget and levy 31 will be decided at the last City Council meetingon December 8. 32 33 In approaching the 2026 budget and levy, the rising cost of ongoing expenditures and the need to 34 expand resources in public safety will cause some difficulty in presenting a budget that 1) 35 maintains the programs and services currently provided, and 2) addresses documented needs in 36 public safety at a cost that is bearable by taxpayers. 37 Qbhf!33!pg!49:
