I suggest that user fees be increased for all Park and Rec classes. Also, there are a lo of parks that have sports fields, which more require maintenance so increase se user fees for soccer clubs, etc. Also, library hours should be reduced. Lastly, why are there fireworks at homecoming high school games? Who pays for that?

The Roseville Libraries are a very valuable aspect of this community. Programs that help children and seniors should be prioritized over routine maintenance like trimming trees, shrubs and grass.

Our libraries should always take priority over themed recreation events.

Please open the libraries back up on Friday's. It is a good day for me to rent books for my kids and find something to do after school. Please bring back Mother Goose it is an amazing program that I attended on Friday at Maidu. I can't make the other day's during the week and Miss Lisa is the best. The libraries are such and important part of this community, it is sad to see them closed during the week.

Create a surchage for fire and/or police service so that residents could pay more and we could keep expanding (or completing) and mantaining our parks. People would have no problem paying a bit more so that we are adequately staffed in our critical public service area. Seperating it out so that people know where their dollars are going and realizing it does actually take money to have the feeling of safety and security we do in Roseville is something that should be transparent. Roseville is what it is because of everything it does for its residents. If we start cutting corners and have shabby looking parks, broken playground equipment, libraries that are closed all the time, etc., residents will start to look at other communities that don't have those issues. We don't want people that are in Roseville now to move to Folsom or EDH just because they better serve their residents.

I think all community library hours are important. Also I think we need more not less open swims at the Mike Shellito and Roseville Aquatic center. Seniors need programs and many of them cannot afford to pay a lot whereas many youth families can or the youth is enrolled in a subsidized program that can provide services.

Please consider staggering hours at the libraries rather than closing all locations on Fridays and Sundays. Community events are nice, but that is not the main role of the parks, recreation and libraries. Books, playing surfaces, playgrounds and pools where children can learn and play safely are critical. Reduce the Vernon Town Square events, keep the libraries open (not just standard business hours) and coordinate with private rental of city space (which actually generates revenue).

Maintaining hours for all libraries would be better than just choosing 1 library.

I do not know how to help save money, but I do know that I LOVE AND UTILIZE our Parks and Libraries. It's a big part of what makes Roseville so special. Thank you for asking!

We love the Storytimes at the Libraries. We also use the parks to play Pokémon Go and us the play equipment.

While many events, programs, and classes that Parks, Recreation & Libraries department offers are also available in the private sector, libraries provide unique services that are typically unmatched. Literacy, veterans, access to information and technology, and a safe place to go are some of its important services. Many people go to the library at difficult or crucial times in their life: job loss, family loss, the need for research, etc. While drinking events and concerts in town square are fun, the private sector could do them sufficiently (and possibly better). This is a wonderful department with a lot of great services that would be missed. I understand how hard any sort of cuts will be.

I am very frustrated with the reduction of hours for the Maidu library - for the library system as a whole. I am amazed at the community involvement and activity in the libraries in Roseville, and I think they are being sadly neglected. They deserve and need a higher position on the city's priority list.

Please find a way to keep Johnson Pool open as well as the Downtown Library, and programs for at-risk children. Kids, whose families can least afford it, need the community to value them and help provide activities and educational experiences afforded by their peers' families, so that they can grow up to be productive members of society. Thank you!

I think at least one library needs to be open on Fridays. Also, the libraries need to be open later...8 at least one day a week. The early closings during the week make it difficult for working families to use the library. Time is precious, families need to pick up kids, get home, have dinner and then get to the library before 7. Life is hectic. Let's make the library more accessible for everyone.

Libraries are important for all ages. However, there could be a charge required for use of some of its services that most people would not mind paying. Perhaps teens could be excluded from fees to make sure low-income students could have full access. Lots of what is offered to local residents are very welcomed but I don't think most people would mind paying an annual fee for such services if it could come more as a "donation" and not a burden on those who really cannot afford to pay. I didn't want to not choose any of the choices you presented but as an individual I would be willing to donate money toward keeping those services for others who use them and can't pay.

I feel the City does a good job proving youth services. I would like to see more attention focused on seniors and those in need. Having the libraries available 6 days a week is a vital service and one that I see as very valuable to all in the community.

The current level of Parks and Rec looks to be excellent. Family events are well put together and well staffed by knowledgeable people who want to be there. Maybe some additional community involvement, calling for volunteers for X, Y or Z would be helpful. For example, I am a Taekwon-Do instructor who has called Parks and Rec previously about putting on a free training program like the Bootcamp program done last summer, but was unable to get someone to return my calls. I am also a computer programmer that would be happy to volunteer time at the library to teach some courses. But I need to be given the opportunity to volunteer.

Please open library on Fridays again.

All libraries should have the same hours. All three libraries should be open six days a week, even if for fewer hours each day. Honestly, I don't think closing libraries saves a significant amount of money. Merchant Assoc., shopping centers and auto mall should pay for downtown events and neighborhood functions.

Develop an expanded volunteer program to assist with all Parks, Recreation and Libraries services.

Open the main library on Friday

My older daughter has loved the total classes including starfish swim lessons and tiny tots soccer and looks forward to doing more next year. We love story time at the library and big trucks summer and all the great events. Would love to see some programs for special needs toddlers

Libraries are my number one priority. They are the key to democracy and a community gathering space. Everything else is just a "nice to have" in my opinion.

Roseville libraries are some of best I have every used. Please keep them open and hopefully expand hours.

This was way hard when only allowed to choose 2! We love all of Parks Rec Libraries. Thank you!

I support the hours at the Downtown library as it serves a population that has limited transportation, computer access, and to other services. I actually support maintaining the current hours at all the libraries. Each one is a free but valuable community resource open to everyone.

Honestly, library services are crucial to the community, as are at risk and senior programs. Of the list of park services from which you had us choose only 2, you might as well close the parks if you are not going to maintain them physically and for safety. If you got low responses for maintaining playground equipment, would you simply leave the equipment in disrepair?

The library collection budget has been stagnant for years, a boost for books and ebooks should be made to better service Roseville larger population

Why do I need to pick a library. Please keep them all open.

More recreation swim at the pool. An additional pool facility. Don’t take away Library hours or programs!!!

All facilities should remain open. The are assets the City has already invested in so let's make them accessible. Start by returning the libraries on Friday. It's embarrassing that a City like Roseville had such limited hours and a true disservice to those in our community who need them the most.

The closures of the libraries impacts everyone and not for the better. The libraries are very busy and don't have the books I want (since the popular ones are usually already out). I have been to other libraries in other counties that prioritize libraries. My concern is that the city of Roseville will not prioritize the library and the city will suffer as a result.

Riley library hours.

More sessions of Mother Goose on the Loose at the Riley Library would be great!

All the libraries are important to me, so I wish they were all grouped together, but I also feel the Maidu Museum is a unique and deeply important cultural resource.

Maintain all library hours, programs and facilities and CUT managerial positions---

The libraries should be a top priority.

Library hours & programs are important to community

Help to keep library programs such as children and teen related in order to show how important literacy, community, and grow are provided and starts with libraries.

Please take good care of Maidu library. We go there weekly and my two children I check out over 1,000 books a year from there; it's a great resource!!

One of the best parts of Roseville are the parks, pools, Library and City sponsored events. The well maintained look of this city is a big part of living. Hope this can co it ie

With the City having extremely limited general fund resources 'going forward', public safety and streets/highways must be given top priority to sustain their services. The reality is that parks, recreation, libraries and museums will need to be drastically reduced and then operate within what ever amount of remaining general fund funding may be available.

I think it’s a shame that the libraries are closed on Friday. The city needs to be better managed. With all the building of new homes and the economy doing so well it’s very troubling that you are cutting services that so many people rely on. Maybe we need a new city manager and head of finance.

Libraries and museums are essentials for a "good" community!

I think Parks and Recreation, & Libraries are important amenities for any community. Roseville is a very beautiful area and one that deserves the above mentioned facilities. We are a great small town and I would like to see Roseville continue to provide these services for our citizens, we don't need to outside, so to speak. Keep up the good work.

Increase opportunities for use of the parks, recreation facilities and libraries by kids at risk and the disadvantaged.

Libraries are integral to a bealthy, informed and educated community. Hours and collections should be ecosnded at ALL locations. Sometimes it is the Library which piovedws residents their sense of community. Even in this computer and internet age there is ALEAYS the need for libraries and Librarians. With the removal of the Net zNeutrality by the FCC, it is even more important to beef up and support our local libraries. Programs that du]org the recreation and community connection and outreach to all of our youth and senior population is integral to a healthy and productive city. 2 choice ps for each of these important areas is extremely limiting.

I would like to see all library branches reduce schedules so that there are no closures, varying morning and afternoons open and all Saturdays. Perhaps fundraisers for the libraries could be initiated, including a yearly gala or fundraising auction.

Keep the libraries strong and running! Open libraries are vital to our communities. I think it's extremely important to change the days libraries are open. Keep them open on Sundays--when working people can get to them to take advantage of services. Most adults can't make it during the week and are running errands (like food shopping) on Saturdays. Close them on Mondays instead.
