Final set of draft City Council district maps available for review - six public meetings set for January

At its December 20 meeting, the Roseville Independent Redistricting Commission selected a final group of six draft City Council district maps to be considered further from the original 23 submitted by the public.  

Detailed demographic information for each of the six maps will be available tomorrow.

This final group of maps will be the subject of six public meetings to be held in January to receive public feedback. The Commission will make the final map selection at its January 24 public meeting. 

The Commission could select a map from the final group as it was submitted or make adjustments to any of the final maps based on public feedback to create and approve a newly designed map.

The Independent Redistricting Commission is comprised of community members and is empowered to adopt the new district boundaries without City Council approval.

How to prepare for an outage

While power outages in Roseville are rare, there are steps you can take to help “weather” any storm.

• Keep your cell phones charged, some extra cash on hand and your gas tank at least half full.
• Plan for batteries and other alternatives to meet your needs when the power goes out.
• Review the supplies that are available in case of a power outage. Have flashlights with extra batteries for every household member. Also, have enough nonperishable food and water.

With more storms forecast this week, there are simple things you can do to help prevent a storm-related power outage.

Make sure to properly store lightweight outdoor furniture and garden accessories and remove landscape debris. This prevents them from being carried away by strong winds and into overhead power lines.

To report a power outage, visit our outage map at roseville.ca.us/outages or call (916) 79-POWER.

Cozy up to energy savings 

Staying comfortable while saving energy is important no matter the season. But with the holidays right around the corner, what better time than now to save energy and money.

Here are some simple, cool-weather conservation tips:

• Keep vents open and air flowing. Closing doors and room vents puts extra strain on the central heating system.
• Open drapes and shades on sunny days to let in heat from the sun; close them at night and on cloudy days.
• And, set your thermostat to 68 degrees and lower it to 55 degrees at night or when you’re away from home. Remember that if you lower your thermostat by two degrees during the winter, you can save about 10% on the operating cost of your heater.

For additional ways to save, visit roseville.ca.us/lowermybill.

Start the New Year with a resolution to use water wisely

WaterSense-labeled fixtures can make it an easy resolution to keep.

The WaterSense-label is given to products that have been independently certified to be 20 percent more water-efficient than average products in that category and perform just as well or better.
