City’s proposed FY22-23 budget promotes fiscal responsibility with a focus on mission 

The proposed Fiscal Year 2022-23 budget for the City of Roseville includes $788 million in revenue and $767 million in expenses, $70 million of which is due to a one-time loan the City is handling on behalf of the South Placer Wastewater Authority.

More than half of the City’s overall revenues and expenses are related to the operation of the community owned electric, water, wastewater and refuse utilities.

The City’s General Fund proposed budget, which consists of public safety, parks, libraries, public works and general government operations, is $212 million (28 percent of the overall proposed budget.)

The City Council is holding a public budget workshop at 4 p.m., Tuesday, May 31.

Recreational swimming at RAC by reservation only

The Roseville Aquatics Complex (RAC) is open for the season on May 28 by reservation only. Construction delays on the recreation and play pools means swimming is restricted to the competition pool which has limited space, resulting in the need for reservations. While the entire complex won’t be open on Memorial Day weekend, we hope to open more pool amenities soon (as construction permits). Reservations will be available each week on Mondays for the upcoming weekend.

The Mike Shellito Indoor Pool continues to offer recreation swim on the weekends. Summer hours at the Mike Shellito Indoor Pool and Johnson Pool begin on June 13.

Community creek clean-ups maintain our important waterways

In October 2021, Environmental Utilities’ stormwater program began hosting multiple Adopt-a-Creek clean-up events throughout the city. Outreach efforts led to residents in the community volunteering their time over the following months to refresh waterways that accumulated trash and other waste.

Read more about the positive impact of volunteers for our creek clean-ups here.
