Potential strategies emerge from Placer’s regional effort to respond to homelessness 

A variety of potential strategies are beginning to emerge from Phase I of a regional effort to develop options that address homelessness in the mid and south Placer region.

A list of potential strategies has been developed for further exploration and included in the Placer Homelessness Response Emerging Strategies Phase 1 Report. The report identifies a framework and over a dozen potential strategies to mitigate homelessness impacts.

Watch the presentation about the preliminary findings given at last week's City Council meeting.

What are those loud “boom” sounds in and around Roseville?

Have you heard loud 'booms' in and around Roseville, especially in the evening?

According to the Placer County Agricultural Commissioner's Office, several farms northwest of Roseville have been using a tool called a 'bird scare cannon' to keep geese from destroying this year’s crop.

The cannon, or zon gun, is a small, propane-fired device that emits 'thunderclaps' to frighten off birds. It does not fire a projectile and is a standard agricultural practice and harmless to the animals. These were used about this time last year as well.

Electric vehicles (EVs) are simple to charge, inexpensive to fuel and fun to drive. And, as a Roseville resident, the benefits really add up.

The cost of electricity for Roseville customers to charge an EV is much less than the cost of gasoline. In addition to lower fuel costs, EV owners can expect lower maintenance costs, no oil changes, and the convenience of charging your vehicle at home.

Plus, we offer new vehicle and charging incentives for both residential and commercial customers.
