nature center. Roseville also features 60 miles of
<br />trails and the Guidant John Rose Minnesota
<br />OVAL, home to one of the largest refrigerated ice

<br />numerous national and international speedskating

<br />ation Department won the National Recreation

<br />lence in park and recreation administration.
<br />Roseville is served by two school districts consis-
<br />tently ranked among the best in the state:
<br />Roseville Area Schools and Mounds View School
<br />Districts. Most of the City is in the Roseville Area
<br />School District which has siY elementary schools,
<br />one T�-�S choice school, one iniddle school for
<br />grades 7-8 and one high school for grades 9-12.

<br />a four-year college.
<br />CITY GOVERNMENT
<br />Roseville operates under a Council-Manager Plan
<br />B form of government. The five-member City
<br />Council (Mayor and four members) is elected at-
<br />large in even numbered years to four-year terms.
<br />In addition to the City Council, there are six City
<br />Comtnissions — Ethics, Human Rights, Parks and
<br />Recreation, Planning, Police Civil Service and
<br />Public Works, Environment and Transportation;
<br />and the Housing and Redevelopment Authority.
<br />The proposed recommended 2007 budget is $32.5
<br />million ($10.8 General Fund), and Roseville
<br />operations are currently supported by 156 ful�-
<br />time staff, 74 part-time staff and 200 seasonal
<br />employees.
<br />Roseville offers its residents a wide array of
<br />services including recreational activities, streets,
<br />water, sewer, police and fire. Rather than simply
<br />delivering services, the City strives to educate,
<br />inform and involve residents in the operation of
<br />the municipality. Departments utilize a sizeable
<br />and dedicated group of resident volunteers.
<br />Its efforts have placed it among a select group
<br />receiving national recognition for community
<br />involvement and responsive customer services. In
<br />addition to its National Gold Medal Award, the
<br />Parks and Recreation Department has achieved
<br />national accreditation. In 2001 the Roseville Fire
<br />Department was awarded the state's highest rating
<br />by the Insurance Services Organization. For the
<br />past fourteen years, the Police Department has
<br />won awards from the National Association of
<br />Town Watch for its National and Family Night
<br />Out programs.
<br />Roseville's Public Works and Community Devel-
<br />opment Departments are equally well �ecognized.
<br />The Public Works Department's pavement mai�-
<br />ageinent program provides a systematic method of
<br />repaving and upgrading a]1 City streets and was
<br />one of the first programs of its kind in the coun-
<br />try. The Public Works Department has developed
<br />innovative cooperative worl�ir�g relationships with
<br />two adjacent communities sharing enginee�g
<br />staff and ioint
<br />bidding on
<br />projects. The
