Assistant Environmental Utilities Director Brian Craighead and Government Relations Administrator Noel Maddock presented program design, projected costs and enrollment mechanics.

Staff said RAP would target the fixed portion of water bills and use non-rate revenue (late fees) to comply with Proposition 218 requirements. Eligibility would be limited to households at or below 200% of the federal poverty level; customers already enrolled in the city’s electric rate assistance program would be auto-enrolled into RAP to reduce administrative barriers. Staff said the program would provide up to a 20% discount on the fixed monthly charge for qualifying households and that customers would be required to reaffirm eligibility every three years.

Craighead and Maddock described outreach plans and preliminary fiscal estimates. Staff said 994 customers currently enrolled in the electric program were expected to auto-enroll in RAP and that about 90 additional water-only customers would be targeted for outreach. The presentation included two different numerical references in the transcript for projected enrollment (staff said both that they expect at least 1,000 households to be served and also referenced “about 184 customers” in a passage that appears inconsistent); staff told council they budgeted roughly $123,000 in FY26—consistent with historical late-fee revenue—and estimated benefits of up to $84,000 in the first year with potential growth to about $106,000 by fiscal year 2030, depending on future rates.

Supporters on council noted the program would pilot affordability efforts for water and could be expanded later to wastewater or other services. The council received the Public Utilities Commission’s recommendation to approve implementation and voted unanimously to introduce the ordinance for first reading; the motion carried on roll call.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council Meeting of October 1, 2025 - City of Roseville, CA","oneSentenceSummary","Roseville’s City Council on Oct. 1 introduced an ordinance to create a Water Rate Assistance Program that will target fixed water charges for income-qualified households and use non-rate revenue to fund discounts.","taxTitle","Roseville, Placer County, California","taxId",3668,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6427855,"Roseville delays decision on Darling Way permit parking after residents report blocked driveways",586,1632000,2218000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5899999-b37651d3748d65c671deaf469116a712&start=1632&end=2218","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5899999-b37651d3748d65c671deaf469116a712/thumbnail_1632000.jpg","/articles/6427855/Roseville/Placer-County/California/Roseville-delays-decision-on-Darling-Way-permit-parking-after-residents-report-blocked-driveways","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6427855-d436fb8eb7846a2915f454588c099a7f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771158128&Signature=HLBXI2q8-lD44JWrFa4gdR8SH7zn8U8CIiE~95vVLLirs8Ioe5lE6D1~S8AjLkz2h1tZIu0zTfgAExjNw6E~WNR54DHTOCIooqBMQBYdEDlyD4LR5iogvMDUbD5I1sGFx9z~2zpGzgq37ijSQJDCCTRni~aozbVvCo~~FGlelRJD-0XTJASuyX-cB17jblFGa4dFzMm8d6pXAugiR9CE6lOfP70X42tPmULNc0RnpbCLr9KmNzjun3S512Bkn00hY--Nw8moNROBE-wBeKgxXuen5F3h5W2KchY8d9eIeFNnTRaqC~Ac-fn2sTsqwQqp0wpf7SmgTL89Rcl8gPVobw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At its Oct. 1 meeting, the Roseville City Council heard a presentation from Assistant Public Works Director Stephanie Keeman on a resident-initiated request to create 24-hour residential permit parking on the north side of Darling Way between Clarice Lane and the end of pavement near I-80. Staff reported field observations, a neighborhood survey and a recommended resolution to install permit parking.

The council heard multiple, detailed public comments from nearby residents describing repeated blockage of private driveways, late-evening parking tied to recreational programming and threats or verbal confrontations when residents asked drivers to move. Christine Farley, who said she lives at 905 Darling Way and initiated the request, told the council she “couldn’t get out of the driveway” and that evening soccer practices and other activities sometimes left vehicles blocking access until about 9:30 p.m. Another resident said drivers left trash and bottles in the neighborhood and that visibility for children crossing the street was impaired.

Keeman told the council that staff performed field visits (Oct. 8, Nov. 4 and Dec. 13) and observed 11, 10 and 7 cars parked along the north side during those times while seeing 51, 36 and 45 available spaces in the adjacent school parking lot on the same visits. Staff said the school gate on Darling Way makes street parking more convenient than some lot spaces. Staff also reported a postcard survey sent to properties in the proposed zone (13 surveys sent): 8 yes, 2 no and 2 non-responses (the transcript records those counts as the basis for staff’s recommendation). Staff recommended a resolution (No. 25-304) to approve the permit zone on the north side of Darling Way.

Council members asked about alternatives, enforcement and whether signage or gate access could direct drivers into the school parking lot. Staff said red curbs are not routinely installed because of maintenance burdens, one-hour signs are difficult to enforce, and signage directing people to on-site parking could be considered but may be hard to enforce if vehicles belong to residents. The city manager noted the city has in the past used field monitors and gate controls to manage shared park/school use and proposed that staff pursue additional programmatic and signage solutions before a final decision.

Because some council members wanted more outreach and to explore options (programming, signage, enforcement, gate access and communication with leagues and the school), there was no motion to adopt the resolution to install 24/7 permit parking that night. Later in the meeting the council voted to move item 6 to a future agenda for further study and follow-up with Parks & Recreation and Public Works. The motion to reschedule the item passed on roll call (all members voting yes).","After a staff presentation and multiple public comments describing blocked driveways and safety risks, the Roseville City Council did not adopt the proposed 24/7 permit-parking zone for Darling Way on Oct. 1 and instead moved the item to a future agenda for further work and outreach.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6427835,"Council moves to add tolling provision to pause entitlement expirations when projects are litigated",201,2885000,3086000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5899999-b37651d3748d65c671deaf469116a712&start=2885&end=3086","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5899999-b37651d3748d65c671deaf469116a712/thumbnail_2885000.jpg","/articles/6427835/Roseville/Placer-County/California/Council-moves-to-add-tolling-provision-to-pause-entitlement-expirations-when-projects-are-litigated","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6427835-e79a6cc985e9c8868193b93e23c5c494/orig.mp4?Expires=1771158128&Signature=A2~G-FXSQmJ0LJudM5NaJu2ly4SyOTtf9kx3KeEZjFamC83X292eeAwUENP6ximMvdtXnGzN3bi3T6jvQvKv4y~ztpUYLkYA1dL0DnKiBXUwaQqVcohmBaHPVtdEKIXafwa~dUSgSmw2LhhaOt8KN32urnn1NiN2RYmdkvzUxUyJMrMOXLTyAiWpA-bWOUi2zgucZ2P2qmHbwtYuL64C42l7Gsnq6w6vO4OBSp62~fnHf~uDS57kJQLqQZtwo~7r8J0IXI8y~7QBm--AGT0l3ndh31HSYexkS8vIqNT6XfynYGbebrVVUlURQPkAapLDMto7nIuT-gYQBsDjt-vWzQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Roseville City Council on Oct. 1 introduced an ordinance to add a tolling provision to the zoning (Title 19) and subdivision (Title 18) codes that would pause (toll) the period of entitlement expiration if a lawsuit is filed challenging a project. Senior Planner Lauren Hocker and Development Services Director Mike Heissom presented the amendment, which staff said is intended to protect applicants from losing approvals while a court action prevents project implementation.

Hocker explained that tolling provisions pause the statute-of-limitations or entitlement expiration period when conditions outside an applicant’s control—most commonly a filed lawsuit—prevent construction and could otherwise cause entitlements to lapse. The amendment would make such tolling effective as of Jan. 1 of the current year for entitlements scheduled to expire during the calendar year if litigation is filed. Staff said the Planning Commission recommended approval of the zoning text amendment and that the change is exempt from CEQA because it is a procedural policy change with no physical impact.

Council voted to introduce the ordinance and adopt required findings; the motion carried on roll call. Staff said they would return with the final ordinance for second reading as required by the municipal code process.","Council introduced for first reading an ordinance to add tolling provisions to the zoning and subdivision chapters of the Roseville Municipal Code that would pause the expiration of land-use entitlements for projects subject to litigation, effective retroactively to Jan. 1 of the year.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6427841,"Roseville adopts 2025 building and fire code updates; staff says changes are non-substantive",272,3440000,3712000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5899999-b37651d3748d65c671deaf469116a712&start=3440&end=3712","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5899999-b37651d3748d65c671deaf469116a712/thumbnail_3440000.jpg","/articles/6427841/Roseville/Placer-County/California/Roseville-adopts-2025-building-and-fire-code-updates-staff-says-changes-are-non-substantive","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6427841-088cc63cc4a11c2eff193d60b7c36750/orig.mp4?Expires=1771158128&Signature=UFN1yKvHfRGYFMXflvkKe~p--RF1EbmLl5ZGPiUofBvuGSM2LM7e3Znm38lQDnQQgpEzPoynZlL~5BOA-tk0SI0M5HRQ7w-zBSGR1iVRtEnKNtQi7rcHEHu5YEvdanwZ1FgK2g4I5zncrmVfAptPD-EeR98EbwybQZhqEIhue8F0cjNZDuPH75-h-zKAhwoRJ4nw7DvBZI6NhItfNFe8Qx614AQExxmuCdMjd1JPC9EHdp37qJv390uWdcV4bQ3W33zF4FdPWQ27V65M7r0kpN1vvaSRE0jw~dKc7OnQEGbCRDCJj2sKBIF1X5lbdV7rOWEykXr7izxE7zSHnx8JBw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At its Oct. 1 meeting the Roseville City Council adopted Ordinance No. 6997 on second reading, readopting and amending chapters 16.04 and 16.16 of Title 16 of the Roseville Municipal Code, which implement the state building and fire codes on a three‑year cycle.

Staff said the 2025 update contains no substantive technical changes for Roseville and consists primarily of grammatical edits and appendix renumbering. The presenter (identified in the transcript as Bruce) told council the changes were required by state law and that the city had adopted the appendices without substantive modifications.

A member of the public asked for clearer, accessible summaries of code changes and raised concerns about mitigation of water damage and mold after sprinkler discharge in multiunit buildings; the commenter suggested guidance for owners and inspectors about post‑sprinkler mitigation and how building inspections interact with sprinkler system function. Staff did not indicate that such guidance is part of the ordinance before council, and the council adopted the ordinance by unanimous roll call.","Council adopted Ordinance No. 6997 on second reading to readopt and amend chapters of the Roseville Municipal Code relating to building and fire codes; staff said changes were grammatical and renumbering only; one public commenter urged clearer guidance on ADA and sprinkler-related water mitigation.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6427831,"Roseville to align municipal campaign period with state FPPC cycle; council introduces ordinance",241,4126000,4367000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5899999-b37651d3748d65c671deaf469116a712&start=4126&end=4367","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5899999-b37651d3748d65c671deaf469116a712/thumbnail_4126000.jpg","/articles/6427831/Roseville/Placer-County/California/Roseville-to-align-municipal-campaign-period-with-state-FPPC-cycle-council-introduces-ordinance","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6427831-ac98ed60065aab94cb9fd9004216cefd/orig.mp4?Expires=1771158128&Signature=U8u1pGhkLf8rDluJuAXPkJ62fprNKoTUqNOHymS1wBd9E9mcUyvS~NtCf6hZvvyChTz3mw9De1L9U4TdBqZoIzyrMFau0femRPY7R03YF9WADRbpj2shJmOTqCl7zKuVjzmyBSBWEdrIUz3avbkDv5Ij1ZdUsk5JhiuDjYKLmKkwhFsfuvhjjAhBijmT55YNzYpuhNYiWPYiohnWOTgZxPMdaVRWIiJI--aY-nXTDWJJp08G0ujeDjO0Cud5jCCWaxubB2EjR4~nkRkOA2B43MiX~f-9smnCm-I8YSirTZ8bCRt2GU6KZZCusLljpahCoCGwKstJh8ndn9~LkvlD2g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","On Oct. 1 the Roseville City Council introduced for first reading an ordinance to amend Roseville Municipal Code section 2.6.0.04 so that the city’s campaign period for general municipal elections runs from Jan. 1 through Dec. 31 of the election year, aligning local reporting dates with the Fair Political Practices Commission schedule.

City Clerk Carmen Avalos explained that existing Roseville dates varied among recent elections (for example, earlier cycles began in February for prior election years) and that the change would provide a consistent, date‑certain filing cycle for future general municipal elections. The clerk noted the amendment would not apply to special or recall elections. Council members asked no substantive questions from the dais and the ordinance was introduced for first reading by unanimous roll call.
