259 Policy Objectives 260 In consideration of actions regarding federal immigration enforcement, applicable laws and roles of the 261 federal government should be acknowledged and the City’s values (Accountability, Integrity, Equity, 262 Community and Safety) should be factored into any discussion and decision made by the City Council. 263 264 Equity Impact Summary 265 The discussion and consideration of Policies and Ordinances relating to Federal Immigration 266 Enforcement should be centered on the City's values, accountability, integrity, equity, community and 267 safety. At the City Council meeting on January 12, 2026, city staff and city council received public 268 testimony from the Roseville community in support of the city taking steps to restrict immigration 269 enforcement efforts within the city. Many of these requests increase accountability, encourage integrity, 270 advance equity, support the community and increase safety. As a result of the public testimony, the city 271 has strengthened policies and ordinances and created a "use of resources" ordinance for consideration 272 by city council. 273 274 The use of resources ordinance defines the City's protocol related to federal immigration enforcement. 275 With the ordinance, the city increases its ability to be accountable to the community when federal 276 immigration efforts are taking place in the City of Roseville. Additionally, the city is prioritizing the safety 277 of staff and community by limiting the use of city resources in federal immigration efforts. The equity 278 value is about understanding that different members of our communities may need different supports. In 279 this moment, when Roseville immigrant communities are being targeted, the use of resources ordinance 280 clarifies that the City, and its employees, will not inquire about the immigration status of a resident 281 unless required to do so by law. The use of resource ordinance is responsive to the community request 282 heard at the January 12, 2026 city council meeting to strengthen and enhance city policy and ordinance 283 to limit federal immigration enforcement efforts in the city. 284 285 Budget Implications 286 Beyond staff time and minimal expenditure of funds, it is not expected the action discussed will lead to a 287 significant direct cost to the City. As mentioned, actions by the Federal Government toward cities that 288 take action regarding immigration enforcement is unknown. As the City has received federal funds to 289 assist in the funding of public safety services, the future of those funds may be in jeopardy dependent on 290 a future Federal Government action. 291 292 Staff Recommendations 293 Staff recommends the City Council consider adopting the Use of City Resource Ordinance by adopting 294 the ordinance, resolution of ordinance summary, and the resolution affirming the lawful and appropriate 295 use of city resources. 296 297 Staff recommends approving the updated Policy Department Policy 413 regarding immigration matters. 298 299 Staff asks the City Council to review and discuss the material in this City Council Request for Action and 300 provide direction to staff on any next steps the City should take. 301 302 Requested Council Action 303 If there is a desire to pass the "Use of City Resources" ordinance, a motion should be made to approve 304 the ordinance, resolution of ordinance summary, and the resolution affirming the lawful and appropriate 305 use of city resources. 306 307 If there is a desire to approve the updated Police Department Policy 413 (Immigration Matters), a motion 308 should be made to approve the updated Police Department Policy included as Attachment 2. 309 310 The City Council should also review and discuss the material in this City Council Request for Action and 311 provide direction to staff on the items presented. 312 Page 6 of 7 Qbhf!8!pg!269
