We need to determine how the City of Roseville should proceed to reduce the city's 1/1. While the point of sale method might be more palatable to property owners, we are concerned that we may not be able to bring the city into compliance before the MCES deadline. Currently there are 9,237 residentially zoned parcels in the City of Roseville. According to Ramsey County records over 60% of property owners stay in their homes for more than 5 years. Weare required to reduce the III for the city to an acceptable level within the next 10 years. As a result we are concerned that we will not reach more than half of the households before our deadline.
