DATE: APRIL 15, Z002 <br />T0: ROSEVILLECITYCOUNCILMEMBERS <br />FROM: ALSANDS <br />RE: CITYASSESSMENTPOLICIES <br />ROSEVILLE'SPAST <br />Roseville's growth spurt started right after WWII, in the late forties. By <br />1970 to 1980, we were pretty well built up in terms of residential. Back then it was <br />necessary and appropriate to use the assessment process to pay for new streets, new <br />water mains, and new sewers-there was no other way to pay for it. And owners of <br />new homes on new land with new infrastructure expected to pay assessments, <br />spread out over a period of years. <br />Starting sometime in the 80'S the city began a paving program to upgrade <br />our streets, giving them a good base that will last a long time, and putting in curbs <br />and gutters. Residents were assessed around 25% of the cost, and the remaining <br />75% was borrowed, and is being paid back through an annual property assessment <br />that is paying off the related paving program debt (together with the related <br />continuing receipts from the 25% assessed). <br />THE PRESENT ROSEVILLE <br />Now as I understand it, that major paving program has been finished. <br />Roseville has excellent roads, curbs, and water and sewer infrastructure valued at <br />over 90 million by the city. <br />�'VE HAVE A TAY BASE OF ABOUT 50% COI�'Il�'IERCIAL AND 50% <br />RESIDENTIAL, COI�'IPARED TO A USUAL 30% COI�'Il�'IERCIAL AND 70% <br />RESIDENTIAL TAX BASE. <br />�'Ve also have one of the biggest tax bases around because of Rosedale and <br />other commercial property pumping money into our tax system. And that will be <br />getting even better because the City recently closed out a lot of tif districts that kept <br />those property taYes out of the general taY base. <br />
