City looks to gather community views on local government and services

To get a comprehensive and accurate picture of Roseville residents’ perspectives about local government, the City of Roseville is conducting the National Community Survey beginning this month.

The survey results will inform the City’s strategic plan, budget, and shed light on perceptions about city and community services.

Beginning last week, 3,000 randomly selected Roseville households distributed throughout the city were invited by mail to participate in the survey.  In February, all Roseville residents will have the opportunity to participate in an online survey.
