The City of Roseville is a charter city. A charter describes the basic law that defines a municipal government and its powers, functions and essential procedures. The charter also establishes a degree of self-governance while addressing aspects of Roseville’s authority.

Although not required by state law, the City of Roseville has historically reviewed and amended the charter every 10 years. The Charter Review Commission was appointed in January 2009 and has worked for the last year examining the City’s charter in order to make recommendations to improve city government operations. The review will conclude in the next couple of weeks.

Two public meetings will be held to report on the commission’s recommendations:

- Tuesday, February 16 at 5:30 p.m. at the Martha Riley Meeting Rooms at 1501 Pleasant Grove Blvd.; and

- March 15 at 5:30 p.m. at the Maidu Community Center located at 1550 Maidu Drive.

Commission recommendations approved by the City Council in May will go before voters as ballot measures in November.
