City reviews levy scenarios after SAFER and COPS grants; no final decision
Summary
Roseville staff presented three 2026 levy scenarios that reflect receipt of a $3.9 million SAFER firefighter grant and a $500,000 COPS grant for police staffing. The council discussed an earlier firefighter start date (April 15) to maximize grant usage and debated franchise-fee treatment and capital funding tradeoffs; no levy action was taken.
City Manager Pat Trudgen presented three levy scenarios to the Roseville City Council on Oct. 27 showing how federal grant awards and possible franchise fees would affect the 2026 levy and median homeowner cost.
Trudgen said the city received a $3,900,000 SAFER grant and a $500,000 COPS grant and outlined how different assumptions and start dates for firefighter hires would change the tax impact. "We did receive the $3,900,000 SAFER grant and $500,000 for the COPS grant," Trudgen told the council.
