<br />--- DRAFT --- <br /> <br />parking, pets, the number of persons or families living in one residence, boat storage, operations <br />of small businesses out of homes, and who to call about different types of complaints. <br />Participants also asked basic questions about enforcement policies and procedures, such as: <br />. Do staff conduct general inspections or do they only respond to complaints? <br />. How many enforcement staff members are there and is that number enough to meet City <br />needs? <br />. Are there programs in place to help residents comply with City Code when they lack <br />sufficient resources to do so? <br /> <br />Several issues around communications between the City and residents surfaced in the meetings. <br />There was general agreement that: <br />. New property owners (single-family rental and homestead and multi-family) are not <br />adequately informed about Code requirements and regulations. <br />. Citizens are not adequately informed about upcoming changes (group homes to new <br />development) in their neighborhood, particularly if you are not within the current <br />required notification threshold. <br />. Citizens do not know who to contact in City Hall about particular problems. <br />. Citizens who make complaints do know how issues were resolved. <br />. Multi-family property managers (apartment complexes in particular) do not feel <br />adequately informed about incidents that happen in their building and therefore are <br />hampered in actions they can take to evict problems tenants and enhance the general <br />security of the building. <br />In some cases, participants were simply seeking more" one-way" communication streams that <br />would provide information and keep residents better informed about what is happening in <br />their neighborhood. In other cases, participants were seeking "interactive" communication that <br />would involve education, citizen engagement, and City and property-owner accountability to <br />the public. <br /> <br />What were the general observations participant made about their neighborhoods and <br />the community? <br /> <br />Participants approached discussions about their neighborhoods and Roseville from a holistic <br />perspective. For many, there was no distinction between housing and the other City systems <br />that interact to make a neighborhood functional and to support their quality-of-life. Non- <br />housing issues have been grouped to fit within the City of Roseville's organizational structure. <br />All issues were included even though some may not be within the city's jurisdiction. <br /> <br />Roseville RHRA Community Dialogue on Housing ---DRAFT --- <br />Prepared by the Center for Policy, Planning, and Performance <br /> <br />5 <br />
