March 9, 2021 City Council approves land sale for future jobs site A large regional jobs center is one step closer to reality following Roseville City Council approval for the sale of 6382 Phillip Road to Panattoni Development Company on Wednesday, March 3. The future Roseville Industrial Park would allow the city to compete nationally in attracting employers to the area. “This site provides an ideal opportunity to drive significant job growth and economic activity,” said City of Roseville Economic Development Director Laura Matteoli. “Roseville has a reputation for offering a combination of lifestyle, educated talent pool and business value, which is attractive for prospective companies.” The approximately 236-acre greenfield parcel, with 191 developable acres, is located north of a planned six-lane western extension of Blue Oaks Boulevard. The planned six-lane regional Placer Parkway, connecting Highway 65 and 99, bisects the northern part of the property.

Homes shown here a similar to the design for Fiddyment Farm F-25 & F-26 Solstice at Fiddyment Ranch—meeting w/Van Daele Homes. Date: 2/9/2021 Online presentation at WestPark and Fiddyment Farm Neighborhood Association meeting. Van Daele Homes – F-25 and F-26 HDR Development Presentation, Tim Fisher of Van Daele Homes gave a presentation for the proposed “Solstice at Fiddyment Ranch” HDR family homes (rentals) that will be built in F-25 and F-26 lots, area north of Old Coach Drive and Angus Road behind Phillips Park. These two sites were originally zoned for up to 277 units are now being proposed as 189 2-3 story family units (17 units per acre density) with the following features: Many homes with under-dwelling garages; total parking spaces 404 (378 covered including garage spaces). Clubhouse, pools, fitness facilities, play and recreation areas. Land developers must build Prairie Town Way before they can close the arrangement and start building, but it is expected to start in late spring/early summer of 2021, and complete late 2023/early 2024. These were stated as not being individual homes for purchase, not affordable or Section 8 housing, but rather standard rental units. Upon clarification, the original ‘affordable’ status of these two parcels was transferred to other property in 2009, and we will attempt to find out more about that. Farmland design, with front exteriors facing sidewalks and garage entrances and parking in back of properties. Similar construction to their Hideaway properties in River Islands developments (Lathrop, California). No HOA (all rentals). However, there will be on-site management FPI, already working with builders. Garages will be maintained for parking, not allowed to take up spaces with storage. No pricing established yet, no pet policies yet. An hour-long Q&A session followed with numerous concerns raised over sufficient parking and speeding issues, ‘single family occupancy’, park amenities with pet disposal facilities (developers will be paying towards amenities, but not bathrooms necessarily), and concerns about 3-story height (37’ tall--similar to other HDR facilities already in the WRSP). Trash disposal will be combination of dumpsters and trash cans. When asked if exterior walls had been considered in the planning, Mr. Fisher said they preferred pedestrian interface over exterior walls. Street parking will be allowed, including along Prairie Town Way. Mr. Fisher was invited to attend a future update meeting with our NAs as planning develops. Mr. Sean Morales (Rose Planning Dept.) indicated City Planning and Council meeting notices will be sent per state requirements (to residents within 300’) and posted on the RCONA website, and on City Planning sites. If you wish to be on a contact list, you can sign-up at the City Planning site as well. Contact Mr. Morales at : smorales@roseville.ca.us.

Home Repair Scams By: Rob Baquera, Public Information Officer, Roseville Police Department Spring is almost here and many of us are ready to get started on some overdo projects around the house or on the honey-do list. Whether you’re renting an apartment or own your own home, a great way to address normal wear and tear is regular upkeep (e.g., applying a fresh coat of paint, planting new flowers in flowerpots, or having the flooring replaced.) If you find that you need extra help, be cautious when hiring someone you don’t know. There are several ways scammers advertise and try to take advantage of people. Here are some tips to consider when hiring someone, or a contractor: Some scammers often solicit at your door or randomly call you offering to fix a problem you didn’t know you had. Some scammers advertise that they can fix roof leaks, install windows, or furnish your roof with solar panels for a low price…but you must act now. Some scammers might pressure you to make a quick decision or offer to provide financing. Some scammers might demand all or a large down payment and then never complete the work. Some scammers might do sloppy work or make the situation worse. Here are some steps you can take to protect yourself and your home: Ask solicitors, vendors, or contractors for references, and license and insurance information. Confirm a solicitor’s (also known as Home Improvement Salesperson) or contractor’s license is valid and current by searching the Department of Consumer Affairs Contractors State License Board: Check A License - CSLB WWW.CSLB.CA.GOV Try to get written estimates from three different companies/contractors – this helps to make sure the pricing offered is within a standard range. Take time to make an educated decision. Do not pay by cash, direct wire transfer, or load funds onto gift cards. If hired, try to make sure the contract clearly states the services being provided, the materials to be used, and estimated time of completion. If at any time, you believe you have been scammed, please contact the Roseville Police Department to file a crime report or on the Roseville Police Department website: Police Department - City of Roseville WWW.ROSEVILLE.CA.US .

State eviction moratorium extended, help provided for tenants and small property owners Last week, Governor Newsom signed legislation to extend the state’s landmark eviction moratorium through June 30, 2021. The legislation pauses evictions for tenants who declare under penalty of perjury an inability to pay all or part of the rent due to a COVID-related reason. Tenants are still responsible for paying unpaid amounts to property owners, but those unpaid amounts cannot be the basis for an eviction, even after the moratorium ends. The legislation also establishes the State Rental Assistance Program to allocate the $2.6 billion in federal rental assistance California will receive. The program will target aid to income-qualified tenants most at-risk with unpaid back rent. Assistance will also be extended to property owners who agree to waive 20 percent of unpaid rent. Find more here United in Community Service: A message from Roseville Fire Chief Rick Bartee I shared a version of this message with our Roseville Fire Department last summer, following George Floyd’s death. Now as we begin Black History Month, our city staff asked me to share this message with our community. After some consideration, I agreed. As the city’s first Black fire chief and first Black firefighter, I feel a responsibility to do so. After witnessing the violence and struggle that has occurred over the centuries for so many groups, it is staggering to try and understand why something that causes so much pain, hate, and anger continues to exist. Hate, racism, and bigotry are a systemic issue across the globe. Our history in the United States regarding discrimination is unacceptable. It must change. In my close to 40 years of being in the Fire service I for one can attest to the struggles of many of these people through my personal first hand experiences of racism, discrimination, or bigotry while on-duty from inside and outside a much larger organization than I am in today. Speaking of them still stirs great emotion. I cannot change the past, however, I will continue to shape the future. In so many ways, as firefighters we are fortunate to play the role we do right now in society. We are helpers, we are protectors and we are professional problem solvers. As firefighters we are on the front lines during the most critical emergencies in communities. When we put on a fire department uniform and come to work, we support each other and all of our community. We demonstrate unyielding professionalism and personal accountability from everyone, in every aspect of our performance. We treat each other and the public with dignity and respect. It is our diversity of strength that makes us so successful in serving the public. As written on the side of all of Roseville Fire apparatus, “Our Family Protecting Yours.” That is our mission. Kindness, patience, compassion, and consideration go a long way to strengthening our ties to the community and to each other. People have long memories and we want to make those recollections positive. Firefighting is an inherently dangerous job. Our role in society is to help, not harm. As firefighters we must support one another and a community that is hurting. We can only accomplish this through acceptance and understanding. Our city's future is unfolding in front of our very eyes. Let us do what we pledged when we put on the blue shirt and make things better. Let us do it for every individual in history who suffered from the terrible actions or words brought on by those who hate. We will continue to stand together for each other and the community we serve, demonstrate our organizational philosophy in every interaction, and take care of each other. My most profound hope is that real dialogue will result in true change. That change will not happen overnight and in the meantime, we have a job to do. We will do it best if we remain united.

Protecting Your Identity By: Rob Baquera, Public Information Officer, Roseville Police Department Many of us have already begun to gather our documents to file our annual tax returns. Now, more than ever before, it’s vital to protect our personal information. Criminals are working hard every day to steal your social security number, bank account numbers, and credit and debit card numbers. We encourage all residents to take proactive steps to protect personal and financial information. Here are some areas of concern you should consider: Trash – un-shredded documents can hold immense amounts of personal information. Mail – junk mail often includes our name, address, and sometimes more information. Receipts – name, partial credit card information, and recent purchases. Public devices – logging into public computers (e.g., hotel lobby computers, library computers, and retail store kiosks). Our purses and wallets – credits, medical cards, insurance cards, etc. Smartphones – many smartphones have apps that help make our lives easier, such as banking apps, grocery shopping apps, photo apps, and social media apps. They also allow people to stay logged in for easy access. Here are ways that you can protect yourself: Shred all documents, mail, junk mail, and receipts that have any personal information. If you must use a public device, make sure you completely log out of any programs and log off the computer. Reduce your wallet or purse to only essential items. Have a list of credit and debit cards you carry in case they go missing. Never carry your social security card or birth certificate in your wallet or purse. For smartphones, use a pin or other biometric options (facial recognition or thumb swipe) to unlock your device. The more complex you make your passwords, the harder it’ll be for a criminal to get into your device. Log out of any apps you are not currently using, especially those connected with a financial institution. Use unique passwords for each app or website. If at any time, you believe your identity has been compromised or stolen, please file a crime report on the Roseville Police Department website: Police Department - City of Roseville WWW.ROSEVILLE.CA.US

January 12, 2021 Statement on U.S. Capitol Attack from City Council "The attack on our democracy at our nation's Capitol has us grappling to find the right words to convey how we feel about the reckless, terrorist actions we all watched unfold on January 6th. In Roseville, we stand together to denounce this violence. We believe in inclusiveness, regardless of politics, religion or race, and our sole purpose for serving is to help our community. We will always stand on the side of democracy to defend our Constitution and our freedoms. The aggression, intimidation and violence is unfathomable and unacceptable. Our thoughts are with the first responders in Washington DC and those who showed heroic actions, many of whom were attacked for protecting those exact foundational rights Americans have. It's a dark time in our country and yet we know better days are ahead. We stand united and resolute in our service to the city and community." - Roseville City Council Governor Newson: Region out of Regional Stay-at-Home order Governor Newsom released this statement this afternoon.

We must continue to wear a mask & stay home as much as possible. There is a light at the end of this tunnel."

From the City of Roseville, Planning Department... The use of the home in question falls under the “supportive housing” model which is explicitly authorized by California State law. The same law also preempts local governments like Roseville from prohibiting such housing in their jurisdictions. Supportive housing is defined as housing that is occupied by persons (including those with disabilities and families who are homeless) that are linked to onsite or offsite services that assist the residents in retaining housing, improving their health, and maximizing their ability to live. This law requires the City’s zoning ordinance to allow supportive housing as a permitted use type in residentially-zoned areas. The legislation has measures in place meant to regulate the operation of supportive housing to prevent negative impacts to neighborhoods. While supportive housing is authorized from a zoning perspective, the City of Roseville can still regulate any negative conduct occurring on the property, including but not limited to criminal, nuisance, or building code violations, just as we will with any other property in that neighborhood, should such conduct ever arise. One of the goals of Placer County’s Adult System of Care and Whole Person Care programs is to directly address the local need for affordable housing. The program meets this goal by purchasing homes, providing supportive services and reducing homelessness. Residents share the home and work with case managers to set individual goals and be supported with life skills to aid their efforts to live independently within the community. Only the most vulnerable homeless individuals are admitted to this Placer County program, including veterans, elderly, and those with multiple health problems. Placer County’s Whole Person Care refers clients to AMIH to be interviewed and hand-selected to participate in the program. Please note that the persons occupying this supportive housing will all be Placer County residents. Individuals with violent felonies within the last three years and registered sex offenders are prohibited from living in these homes. Case managers work with the residents daily to address any problems they may be having, and will work closely with the tenants to modify any inappropriate behaviors that result in nuisances to neighbors. AMIH has pledged to work diligently to be good neighbors and will modify the property as needed to provide more privacy for the tenants and surrounding neighbors. Please know that the City understands your concerns as a neighbor. Feel free to contact me with further questions. You may also contact Placer County’s Whole Person Care program at 530-889-7170 for programmatic questions as they are the Placer County Department running this program.
