Roseville grants $279,940 to local nonprofits

The Citizens’ Benefit Fund (CBF) was established in 1993 after the City sold the Roseville Community Hospital to Sutter Health for $14.8 million. Built on 8.5 acres along Sunrise Avenue, the hospital served the community for 45 years. Proceeds from the sale were placed in a trust, and each year, a portion of the interest earned is distributed as grants to enhance the quality of life for Roseville residents.
Since its inception, the Grants Advisory Commission has helped distribute $19.3 million to organizations that serve Roseville residents and enrich the community through a wide range of programs and services.
The next grant application cycle opens Tuesday, Dec. 1.

How we protect water quality every day
Most of us turn on the tap without thinking much about what happens before the water reaches our glass. Or what happens after we use it to ensure treated water meets standards before returning to the environment. Water Quality Month is a good time to recognize the people, testing, and monitoring that help keep Roseville’s water safe and reliable every day.

The city beneath the city
You probably know Roseville by what you can see: neighborhoods, parks, busy streets, shops and schools. But there is another Roseville that most of us will never see. Just below our feet is a sprawling network of pipes, valves, pumps and other equipment working around the clock.
Some pipes bring drinking water to your faucet. Others carry wastewater away after you flush, shower or run the dishwasher. Another network delivers recycled water for irrigation and other approved uses, putting highly treated wastewater to beneficial use again. It is a vast hidden network and keeping it working takes a lot more than burying a pipe and forgetting about it.

Scammers want your money—and they want it fast - September 2026

By: The Roseville Police Department
 
According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), consumers reported losing more than $4 billion to scams involving bank transfers and cryptocurrency. Many of these scams involved criminals posing as government agencies, trusted businesses, or both. While the stories scammers tell and the ways they contact you continue to evolve, one thing remains the same—they insist you pay using methods that are difficult or impossible to reverse.

Be suspicious of anyone who unexpectedly contacts you claiming you owe money, have won a prize, or must act immediately to resolve a problem—and then tells you the only way to pay is through a bank transfer, wire transfer, cryptocurrency, a payment app, or gift cards. According to the FTC, that's a major warning sign of a scam.

The FTC offers the following tips to help protect yourself:
Never send money to anyone who insists you pay using only one specific payment method, regardless of the reason they give.
Verify the request. Search online for the company or person's name along with words like "scam," "review," or "complaint" to see what others are reporting.
Use a credit card whenever possible. Credit cards offer stronger fraud protections and the ability to dispute unauthorized charges.
Act quickly if you've been scammed. Contact your bank, payment service, or financial institution immediately, report the transaction as fraud, and ask if it can be stopped or reversed.

Scammers rely on urgency and fear to pressure their victims into making quick decisions. Taking a moment to verify the request, refusing unusual payment methods, and knowing the warning signs can help protect your finances. When in doubt, stop, verify, and never let anyone rush you into sending money.

If you become the victim of a scam, report it to your local law enforcement agency and the Federal Trade Commission at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.

Beware of the CAPTCHA scam - August 2026

By: The Roseville Police Department
 
If you’ve spent any time online, chances are you’ve encountered those familiar tests designed to prove you’re human—checking a box labeled “I am not a robot” or selecting images that match a prompt, such as traffic lights or dogs. These security measures, known as CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Public Turing Test to tell Computers and Humans Apart), are widely used by websites to block spam, prevent malicious attacks, and protect online resources.

But scammers are now exploiting this familiar process to trick unsuspecting users.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is warning the public about a growing “fake CAPTCHA” scam designed to install hidden malware and steal sensitive personal information from victims’ computers.

How the scam works
The bait: You visit a website and are presented with what appears to be a standard CAPTCHA challenge.
The “error”: After completing it, the page displays an error message claiming something went wrong.
The trap: Instead of simply refreshing the page, you’re instructed to “fix” the issue by entering a sequence of keyboard shortcuts—such as pressing the Windows key + R, then Ctrl + V, and finally Enter.
The infection: Those keystrokes secretly open your computer’s Run command, paste a malicious script that was copied to your clipboard, and execute it. This can install information-stealing malware, giving criminals access to passwords, financial information, and other personal data.

Warning signs to watch for
Keyboard commands: Legitimate CAPTCHAs will never ask you to use keyboard shortcuts, type commands, or download software.
Unusual instructions: Real CAPTCHA tests only require simple actions like clicking a checkbox or selecting images.
Unexpected downloads or pop-ups: Be cautious if a CAPTCHA triggers a file download, opens a command prompt, or launches another program.
What to do if you encounter one
Do not follow the instructions. Close the browser tab immediately.
Disconnect from the internet. If you already entered the commands, turn off Wi-Fi or unplug your router to limit the malware’s ability to communicate with criminals.
Change your passwords. Use a separate, secure device to update passwords for your email, banking, and other online accounts.
Run security software. Scan your computer with trusted antivirus or anti-malware software.
Report the scam. File a report with the FTC through their ReportFraud portal.

As scammers continue to evolve their tactics, they often rely on familiarity and urgency to catch victims off guard. A simple CAPTCHA should never ask you to take extra steps beyond clicking or selecting images. If something feels unusual, trust your instincts and stop. Staying alert and recognizing these warning signs can help protect your personal information and keep your devices secure.

No Post Office on the west side - but 4 new drop boxes

From Scott Alvord, City Council Member...
Update on Post Office on the west side.
 
Our postmaster lives on the western half of Roseville so several years ago, I reached out to him to find out what it would take to get a new post office out here. He was very helpful, but he had no power to decide himself without the request coming from a federal office. But he explained what was needed.
 
Because postal service is a federal department, I had to start working with staff from Tom McClintock office, specifically Kim Pruett. She's good to work with. I asked what it would take to help get a PO and some blue drop-off boxes in western Roseville and she did some additional research. She got back to me explaining the details, so I talked to city staff, and they worked with Kim to draft a letter for our mayor to sign, formally requesting the new post office. Mayor Krista Bernasconi was all in to help. She signed it, sent it, and then we all waited.
We finally got word back that while our growth probably justified one, it would be very difficult to get one. But we were now on their radar.
But they could get us the blue drop-off boxes.
 
The Roseville Postmaster has received permission from the city and property owners to place new mailboxes throughout western Roseville at the below addresses.  They are also looking into placing more boxes as new developments throughout the city continue to expand.
 
Links to map locations:
1950 Blue Oaks
2310 Pleasant Grove
1771 Pleasant Grove
4080 Baseline
 
I haven't checked the locations to verify that they were installed but they were or will be soon.
Luckily, we have a UPS Store coming to the Plaza at Blue Oaks (by the new Raley's O-N-E).

Placer County Supportive Services Homes

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.
