PRL Director Jill Geller to retire this spring following distinguished careerJill Geller, Director of Parks, Recreation & Libraries (PRL), has announced her intent to retire later this spring after more than six years serving the Roseville community. Geller joined the City of Roseville in 2019, following a distinguished 25-year career with Johnson County Park and Recreation District in Kansas. Under her leadership, the department earned national accreditation from the National Recreation and Park Association, an honor achieved by only 2% of park and recreation agencies nationwide, and was named a finalist for the National Gold Medal Award for Excellence in Park and Recreation Management for four consecutive years. "Jill’s vision, strong leadership and approachable style have been a real asset to Parks, Recreation & Libraries. She advanced long-standing goals while keeping people and community at the center of her work," said City Manager Dominick Casey.

Grow a yard that gives water back with turf conversion rebatesDid you know about 60 percent of home water use happens outdoors? That’s a big reason we encourage residents to look at one of the smartest, most water-wise upgrades you can make: replacing turf grass. And yes, we mean it. When you grow a yard that gives water back, you don’t just save water. You can lower your bill, get cash back through our turf conversion rebate, and create a healthier yard that attracts beneficial pollinators like bees, butterflies, and even ladybugs that help your garden thrive naturally. 
Thinking about removing your lawn? Start with sheet mulchingIf you are planning to swap out grass for a water-wise yard, now is a great time to begin. While fall is often ideal because rains keep the sheet mulched area moist, late winter and early spring still work very well in our climate, although you may need to water. Getting started now gives your soil time to improve before peak planting season, so when you are ready to plant, the groundwork is already done.
