Smart planning ensures Roseville will thrive in 2008 and beyond The first quarter of the year provides a good opportunity to take a moment to reflect on what we’ve done in 2007. On Oct. 16, we opened the Roseville Energy Park, a project that was several years in the making. With a 160-megawatt peak generation capacity, the natural gas-fired plant will provide nearly half of the City’s electrical needs. The Energy Park is a huge step in helping continue the tradition of low-cost, reliable energy, providing locally-generated power to ensure our customers won’t be vulnerable to supply shortages and price spikes. We strive to continue providing top-notch service at the lowest prices in the region, and this facility is the cornerstone of reaching that goal. With education remaining a top priority in our community. The City proudly opened several new facilities at the complex at Mahany Park, 1501 Pleasant Grove Blvd., including the state-of-the-art Martha Riley Community Library. It’s environmentally conscious amenities and design, along with an indoor tree reading area for children and a gaming area for teens promote the site as a community gathering place. In the same building is the Utility Exploration Center (UEC), the first of its kind in the nation. It employs dynamic, interactive displays and high-tech applications to educate visitors on utilities, and the key role conservation and consumption habits play in our lives. These facilities will be assets to both businesses and the public, providing educational opportunities for all. Visit www. roseville.ca.us/explore for more information. We are also completing a $10.5 million Historic Old Town Streetscape and Infrastructure Project this March. Ranging from upgraded utilities and revamped pedestrian access, our Old Town area is undergoing a visual and economic transformation as we attract new businesses and shoppers there.
Fire Station No. 7 opened in August on the west side of Highway 65 at the Pleasant Grove exit, enhancing fire coverage for residents and businesses in North Central Roseville and the Highway 65 corridor. The 10,500-squarefoot facility was funded by a fire facilities tax, passed in 1984, on new development. In August, we opened multi-use Antelope Creek Trail. Located in open space along the bountiful creek setting, it offers a safe, comprehensive and integrated addition to our bikeway system. Trails meeting these factors encourage people to get out on bikes and commute to work or school, run errands and get exercise. The Antelope Creek trail, a one-mile stretch along Antelope Creek, begins at the intersection of Galleria Boulevard and Berry Street, and continues to the Rocklin city limits. Cyclists have an alternative to crossing Roseville Parkway and Highway 65, while recreational users and families have an easy ride for all skill levels. For those traveling by car, the best place to access the trail is off of Antelope Creek Drive, down the hill from Creekside Shopping Center. Parks and recreation play a big part in our quality of life and in 2007 we opened five new parks and a cricket field at Maidu Park. Many are “pocket park” designs allowing them to conveniently serve neighborhoods while optimizing space and resource usage.

Historic District Streetscape nears completion
Historic-style clock part of the new streetscape at the Lincoln/ Main/ChurchSt. intersection.
Roseville’s Historic Old Town started its makeover in Fall 2005 with the streetscape and infrastructure project. The project was designed to transform the area into an active part of the Downtown that would attract and encourage business development and growth. The project, scheduled for a March completion, includes new and upgraded utilities, undergrounding of all overhead utilities, replacement of all curbs, gutters, and sidewalks, installation of historic style lighting and street amenities, and decorative fencing and landscaping.
To embrace the community’s history, a railroad viewing platform was constructed at the corner of Lincoln and Pacific streets. The platform provides visitors with an excellent view of the rail yard and the passing trains. The train conductors are regularly seen smiling and waving at onlookers, which makes the experience an enjoyable one for everyone involved. Businesses are ready to welcome shoppers and diners to the Historic Old Town District.
Downtown Tuesday Nights
A car show lines the 400 block of Vernon St. during Downtown Tuesday Nights.
Downtown Tuesday Nights, as presented by Johny 5 Productions and the Downtown Roseville Merchants, is scheduled to take place over 13 Tuesdays in May, June, and July of this year.
The Specific Plan will be completed using the following guiding principles: • Improve connectivity • Establish new land uses and development standards • Create themed districts and gateway elements • Enhance public places for community activity • Physical improvements • Promote arts, culture, heritage, entertainment, and education through programming
This long-standing annual tradition brings thousands of people to Vernon Street in Downtown Roseville to experience warm spring evenings, live music, and a variety of activities. These include a classic car show, kids fun zone, food court, expanded farmer’s market, and more than 100 vendor booths. The event runs from 5-9 p.m. Tuesdays starting in May and admission is always free. This year, residents will enjoy the ease of parking at the new Civic Plaza Parking garage, with an entrance on Oak Street, offering more than 550 additional spaces. And be sure to visit the stores that are open for business on Vernon Street and throughout Downtown Roseville during the event.
Watch for the release of the plan and information about public hearings this spring.
Visit www.downtownroseville.com for more information.
Specific Plan update: Downtown specific workshops An administrative draft of the Downtown Vernon Street and Historic Old Town Specific Plan is currently in the works. The Specific Plan, in conjunction with a set of Development Guidelines and Standards (Downtown code), will guide the future development of Downtown. The project area is 168 acres and includes Vernon Street, Historic Old Town, Royer Park and adjacent Dry Creek, and the Old Douglas Boulevard corridor.

Online BillPay available for utility customers
April bills to reflect part two of 2007 rate adjustment
Join the 4,000 other Roseville utility customers who have signed up for Online BillPay. This service provides a secure and environmentally friendly option of paperless billing, and recurring or one-time payments through a credit card or bank account. Once signed up, you will receive an e-mail from the City each month prompting you to view your utility bill and make payments online. This service is available even if you want to continue to receive your bill in the mail. Visit www. roseville.ca.us/billpay to sign up or to review your payment and consumption history.
The second half of the rate adjustment approved by Roseville City Council in 2007 will take effect in April. Monthly rates for water, wastewater and solid waste will change, adding up to a combined increase of 8 percent. For the average Roseville household, that takes the monthly bill from $64.77 in 2007 to $69.95 in 2008. City council approved the rate adjustment last year due to rising material costs, regulatory compliance requirements, system rehabilitation, and ongoing maintenance. The rate adjustment also allows the City to stay progressive and offer such innovative recycling programs as home pickup of fats, oils, greases, and electronic waste; the new packing foam recycling pilot project; the green waste program, and others. Even with the increase, the City’s rates remain among the region’s lowest, while the level of convenience and service remains the highest.
Programs and business incentives available Downtown The Roseville Redevelopment Agency provides programs to assist investors and businesses interested in locating in Downtown Roseville. Agency staff is available to assist with all development projects and tenant improvements. Promotional and financial incentives are available to businesses that meet the goals of the Downtown’s revitalization strategy including housing, restaurants, and specialty boutiques. Programs include: SCIP Program: Statewide Community Infrastructure Program helps developers finance impact fees. Facade Rebate Program: Provides funds for renovating and improving building facades. Affordable Housing Loans: Residential projects with affordable units may qualify for deferred, low interest loans Property Improvement Loans: Projects aligned with revitalization goals may qualify for low interest loans Project Assistance: Agency staff assist with zoning, variances, land use entitlements, plan review, and inspections. Business Promotion: The Agency has a variety of promotional opportunities for new businesses that meet the revitalization goals.

History of Roseville now online!
Before Roseville was a bustling railroad city, the area was filled with oak groves, sprawling fields, and was home to the Maidu Indians. City historian and Roseville native Leonard “Duke” Davis dedicated his life to recording the history of Roseville. He authored several books about the history and development of Roseville; the most notable being “Milestones & Memories: The Story of Roseville, California 1850-2000.” Compiled from his books, a comprehensive history of Roseville can now be found on the City’s website, along with historical photographs. Visit www.roseville.ca.us/history to read his work, which is broken down by decade.

Roseville Utility Exploration Center Reflections | Page 8
Utility Exploration Center teaches visitors how to help the environment Today’s hottest topic, climate change, comes alive for children and adults at the new Roseville Utility Exploration Center (UEC). Opened in January 2008, the center delivers first-rate interactive learning mixed with fun. Every visit will bring you new thought-provoking information, a refreshed commitment to do your part for the planet, and practical ways to put that commitment into action.
The UEC is located within the Martha Riley Community Library building at 1501 Pleasant Grove Blvd. While you are there, explore the ultramodern library, soon to be the City’s first green building certified under the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System™. Visit www.roseville.ca.us/explore or call (916) 746-1550 for more information.
The center currently features five major exhibits within the 3,200-squarefoot gallery space and a separate 800-square-foot Learning Lab suitable for class field trip experiments, speakers, demonstrations, workshops and other group activities.
The three-foot diameter revolving globe features inside projection that allows staff to run different visual programs. Video displayed through the globe shows the problems of climate change, what it means to Roseville, the City’s efforts to lessen resource depletion, and how individual actions can bring about change.
This mountain of trash is a kid-favorite feature that demonstrates how today’s convenient lifestyle has led to increasing waste, which is quickly filling up landfills, often with toxic and non-biodegradable items.
The touch screen displays allow people to determine the size of their carbon footprints and offer ways to reduce them.

Our water supply, drought, and how you can help The snow pack in the Sierra Nevada Mountains - during a very dry 2007 - was not sufficient to keep many reservoirs from dropping to low levels. Folsom Lake was at a record low, which is important to Roseville because Folsom Lake is our primary water supply source. There were indications that the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (Bureau) could potentially cut water allocations from Folsom Lake to the cities and water districts that use it. In December, the lake was just 24 percent of capacity. With all of the rain and the snow fall that we have experienced in January, our water supply situation is showing improvement. At the beginning of February, Folsom Lake sat at 28 percent of capacity which is 53 percent of normal for that time of year. The Sierra snowpack that feeds Folsom Lake sat at 118 percent of normal which amounts to 71 percent of average for the season. So, we are not out of the woods yet, but the outlook is brighter. In March, we anticipate the Bureau to tell the City what percentage of our water supply allocation we will receive for the remainder of the year. Although we are hopeful that the City’s allocation will not be cut, it is important to point out that it is our collective responsibility not to take our water supply for granted. Roseville residents and businesses can voluntarily take actions to conserve water now. An easy way to do this is to particpate in several free water saving programs and to use the many rebates offered. In 2008, the City expanded our cache of free water-saving programs and rebates available to Roseville’s residents and businesses. New programs include rebates for installing high-efficiency toilets, planting drought-tolerant plants, and purchasing a cover for your pool. These are great ways to save water and can lower your water bill. Visit www.roseville.ca.us/savewater or call (916) 774-5761 for more information on water-conservation programs and rebates.
Purple pipes keep Roseville green Recycled water is a clean and safe source of irrigation water conveyed through purple pipes in the ground. Recycled water is produced at both of the City's wastewater treatment facilities. It has been treated to the highest level required by the California Department of Health Services and is approved for many uses, except drinking. Recycled water is used in parks, medians, and golf courses in Roseville. It is not for drinking, but it's perfect for irrigating grass, plants, and trees. Best of all, it is great for the environment because it keeps the grass and plants green without having to use drinking water. Purple pipes keep Roseville green.
Water Treatment Plant expansion completed After nearly two years of construction, the upgrade and expansion of the Water Treatment Plant at Barton Road is complete. The expansion increased treatment capacity from 60 million to 100 million gallons per day. The plant also added new systems and equipment to expand the water treatment process and to deal with treatment byproducts.

Roseville first in region to offer packing foam recycling Roseville recently launched an Expanded Polystyrene or EPS packing foam* recycling program on a pilot basis. EPS packing foam is typically used to protect electronics or other fragile items during the shipping process. The pilot program is the region’s first effort to collect EPS packing foam and send it to recyclers who turn it into baseboards, crown molding, lightweight concrete, packaging and other products. In addition to the drop-off sites, the city is partnering with businesses to enable retailers to recycle their EPS packing foam. Lightweight EPS packing foam takes at least 500 hundred years to biodegrade and spends that time filling up landfills, clogging waterways with floating debris, and littering the landscape, but little attention has been given to diverting it from the waste stream. This is because EPS packing foam recycling has only recently become widespread. In addition, waste-stream diversion goals target weight rather than volume. The City feels the program is a responsible step toward a greener community. You can help make the program a success by using the recycling dropoff sites and making sure you deposit clean, uncontaminated EPS packing foam only. Visit www.roseville.ca.us/foam for more information. *Please note that the EPS packing foam must be clean and that the City cannot accept packaging peanuts or food containers. Those wishing to recycle foam peanuts should check with local mail-drop stores. Many accept used peanuts and appreciate recycling them instead of purchasing new ones.
EPS packing foam is now being accepted at the following recycling drop-off locations: • Mahany Park at 1575 Pleasant Grove Blvd., next to Bear Dog Park • Maidu Park at 1550 Maidu Dr. • Washington Boulevard at 800 All American City Blvd., across from Placer County Fairgrounds
Power Partners: Beat the summer peak More than 1,000 of your neighbors have already joined the City’s Power Partners program to help Roseville lower summer peak energy demand. The program is easy—you simply allow Roseville Electric to cycle your air conditioner off and on during summer’s hottest afternoons. Those critical hours are when we use the most electricity, stressing the electricity transmission grid and causing California to buy excess power from less desirable sources. The more people who join Power Partners, the more of a positive contribution Roseville can make in reducing peak demand. One of the best things you can do for the environment is also one of the easiest. When you sign up, we will install a switch on or near your outside air conditioning unit. The switch allows us to turn your air conditioner on and off for short periods during high-demand hours. Because your fan continues to run, most people report they notice little or no change in indoor temperatures. Sign up for Power Partners today and receive a $10 credit on your bill and an additional $10 each summer you are a Power Partner. Sign up at www.roseville.ca.us/powerpartners or by calling (877) 754-3566.
Green Cleaning Reflections | Page 12
City looking for volunteers to help keep Roseville litter-free The City of Roseville is in the planning stages of the Third Annual Great Roseville Clean-Up, tentatively scheduled for Sat., May 10. The Great Roseville Clean-Up is done in conjunction with the Keep California Beautiful and the Great American Clean-Up campaigns. If you are interested in volunteering for this year’s event, e-mail your name, mailing address, e-mail address and phone number to [email protected] or call Stephanie Gillis at (916) 774-5569.
May is Water Awareness Month: How are you going to save water? One of the best things you can do for the environment is to use water wisely and we’d like to help. The City’s Environmental Utilities Department offers free services and rebate programs to help you take advantage of to lower your water use. Here are some of our most popular:
Free Water-Wise house calls – Call us to schedule a weekday appointment for one of our water-use specialists to come to your home and analyze your indoor and outdoor water use. Our trained specialists will provide suggestions, rebate information, low-flow devices (if needed), and an irrigation schedule for your lawn. This service is free and can give you the tools and information you need to help lower your water bill and help the environment. $175 Rebate! High–Efficiency toilet rebates – Receive a rebate up to $175
when you replace your older toilet (generally pre-1992, though some early low-flush toilets may qualify) with a new 1.6-gallon, dual-flush, or high-efficiency (HET) toilet. Environmental Utilities offers many more water conservation programs and rebates. Visit www.roseville.ca.us/savewater or call (916) 774-5761.
Make spring cleaning a breeze this year Old TVs, used oil, fizzled out fluorescent tubes, outdated computers – what do you do with them? Roseville makes it easy to properly dispose of these items, with a list of many more. We pick it up and dispose of them properly at no cost to you. Visit www.roseville.ca.us/ batteries or call (916) 774-5780 for a list of the items accepted as part of this service.
Draining your pool may require a permit When pools are drained, the water typically runs down the gutter into the storm drain which flows untreated into nearby creeks. Pool chemicals, such as chlorine, can have a detrimental impact upon fish and wildlife living in local creeks. To prevent this, the City of Roseville requires the pool water to be tested prior to it being drained. In some cases a permit may be required to drain your pool. To obtain approval to discharge your pool water, call the City’s Stormwater Management Division at (916) 774-5750. A city inspector will test your pool for chlorine and other contaminants prior to the water being drained.

Timeline
Estimated Cost/ Source of Funds
Cirby Way Improvement Project
This project includes improvements along Cirby Way from Foothills Boulevard to Riverside Avenue, dual-right turn lanes at the intersection of Cirby & Riverside, a two-lane on-ramp to I-80 toward Sacramento, and dual-left turn lanes at Cirby & Melody, Cirby & Vernon, and Cirby & Foothills.
Drivers: Businesses, residents and commuters will all benefit from this redesigned area. Expanded turn lanes allow for increased traffic circulation; improvements will cut down on emissions created from vehicles idling at intersections.
Construction begins in early spring with completion estimated for late-fall 2008.
$15 million: $12 million in Traffic Mitigation Fees (paid for by new development), and $3 million in gas tax funds
Interstate 80 Widening Project – Phase 2
Phase 1 of this project, which was completed last summer, added an auxiliary lane on east bound I-80 from Riverside to Douglas. In Phase 2, existing carpool lanes in Sacramento County will be extended to the Miner’s Ravine Bridge (just west of Eureka Road) in both east and west bound directions, and auxiliary lanes will be added between interchanges to allow a smoother entrance and exit from the freeway.
Business, commercial and commuter vehicle traffic: I-80 is a critical connection from the Sacramento International and Mather airports and the Ports of Sacramento, Oakland, and Stockton. In addition to business and commercial trips, I-80 carries a significant amount of interregional commuters as well as recreational traffic.
Construction is estimated to begin in early summer 2008 and will last for two years.
Unreleased: paid for by State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), Federal Demonstration funds, and local funds for landscaping
Riverside Avenue Streetscape
This project includes new on-street parking configurations, improved pedestrian crossings, and new sidewalks. Updated street frontages include additional landscaping which will contribute to the new look, function and feel of Riverside Avenue.
Pedestrians and visitors: Riverside Avenue will be redesigned to reflect a more pedestrian-friendly environment— attracting business and visitors from around the region.
Construction is estimated to begin by summer 2008, lasting approximately 14 months.

Centennial brings opportunities for celebration, and your participation
Cops Care Kids Camp hits the trail Plans are underway for a new, exciting Cops Care Kids Camp (CCKC) -- the 2008 edition of the Roseville Police Department’s award-winning summer camp. Traditionally Roseville’s youth service officers have hosted the weeklong day camp on one of Roseville’s high school campuses, with lots of sports, swimming, food, and fun. For Summer 2008, the youth services staff are looking to shake things up with a stronger emphasis on life skills, police officer mentoring and challenge activities. This summer’s CCKC may even move to an all-week overnight camp format. What won’t change? Cops Care Kids Camp will still be a very affordable and fun program for Roseville kids entering junior high school or intermediate school. CCKC will still be hosted by Roseville Police Department’s enthusiastic staff of school campus officers, and will provide lots of positive interaction between kids and police officers. If you know an upcoming middle schooler who would benefit from this experience, please talk to your school principal or any Roseville Police Department youth service officer, or call Sgt. Karl Dyer at 774-5052.
On April 10, 2009 the City will mark its 100th anniversary and the celebration will last the whole year. Community involvement is the key to success for planning the variety of activities, and residents are invited to participate in the fun by joining any of the six Centennial Celebration subcommittees to help shape the scope of Centennial celebrations. The subcommittees are Historical Remembrances, Rose Parade Float, Special Events, Community Outreach, School Outreach, and Merchandising. Visit www.roseville.ca.us/ centennial to learn more about how to get involved. Our Centennial Celebration includes an application to have a centennial float in the 2009 Rose Parade in Pasadena, which will be attended by 1.5 million people and attract a worldwide television audience of 400 million. The float will be a unique and unparalleled opportunity to gain exposure for our city on a worldwide stage. To help finance the cost of the float, estimated at $200,000, the city launched a Pennies for the Parade campaign. Roseville is asking residents and businesses to donate any amount they can--ideally $1.85 per resident--to offset the cost of the float building. The Pennies for the Parade campaign received a boost at the kickoff event Jan. 16. Former Mayor Paul Lunardi (1954-1956) donated $100, and his contribution was matched by Mayor Jim Gray and historian Duke Davis. Those who attended the Chamber of Commerce’s annual installation dinner Jan. 30 also helped raise funds. Donation jars will be available at local businesses and events. To make a donation, sponsor a jar at your business, or obtain a Pennies for the Parade sticker to put on your jar, go to the event website. You can also log on to the City’s Centennial Celebration website located at www.roseville.ca.us/centennial to see what’s happening, submit memories of your life in Roseville, make appointments to have historic photos scanned, and/or be interviewed on camera for the Roseville Centennial video.

Empower yourself...register to vote!
May is Bike Month
The deadline to register for the Statewide District Primary scheduled for June 3 is Mon., May 19. A primary election is a nominating election in which the voters of each political party choose the nominee who will run against the other political parties’ nominees in the general election. For example, Republicans run against other Republicans and Democrats run against other Democrats for their respective party’s nomination. In this type of election, voters are choosing a candidate to represent their party. They are not choosing the officeholder for a partisan office yet. Contact the Placer County Elections Division or visit the Secretary of State’s website at www.sos.ca.gov for a list of qualified political parties.
Join others this May by getting out of your car and riding your bike for errands, recreation, fitness, and commuting.
The deadline to register for the Presidential General Election on November 4 is Mon., October 20. The election will be the 56th consecutive quadrennial election for president and vice president of the United States. This presidential election schedule coincides with the 2008 Senate elections, House of Representatives elections, and gubernatorial elections, as well as the City of Roseville Council election.
New passport card available The Department of State has recently developed a passport card as a more portable and less expensive alternative to the traditional passport book. The passport card is a basic component of the PASS (People Access Security Service) system announced by Secretaries Rice and Chertoff in January 2006, and will meet the specific requirements of the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative to secure and expedite travel at U.S. land and sea ports-of-entry when arriving from Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Bermuda. The card may not be used to travel by air. It will otherwise carry the rights and privileges of the U.S. passport book and will be adjudicated to the exact same standards. The card will have the same validity period as a passport book: 10 years for an adult, five for children 15 and younger. For adults who already have a passport book, they may apply for the card as a passport renewal and pay only $20. First-time applicants will pay $45 for adult cards and $35 for children cards. The Roseville City Clerk’s office offers passport services. For information, visit www.roseville.ca.us/passport or call (916) 774-5263.
Bike Month is a coordinated regional effort that brings visibility to bicycling as an environmentallyfriendly form of transportation, and reminds people to think about bicycling safely. Each year Bike Month challenges residents in the region, through friendly competition, to log one million miles of bicycling collectively. Formerly known as Bike Commute Month, Bike Month’s efforts expand beyond commuters. Cyclists are encouraged to help the Sacramento Region log a million bicycle miles. Last year more than 4,100 participants of all ages logged 926,638 miles in the region. In 2006 Roseville residents collectively logged more than 60,000 miles! Visit www.mayisbikemonth.com to log your commute, errand,and recreational miles.

Smart planning ensures Roseville will thrive in 2008 and beyond The first quarter of the year provides a good opportunity to take a moment to reflect on what we’ve done in 2007. On Oct. 16, we opened the Roseville Energy Park, a project that was several years in the making. With a 160-megawatt peak generation capacity, the natural gas-fired plant will provide nearly half of the City’s electrical needs. The Energy Park is a huge step in helping continue the tradition of low-cost, reliable energy, providing locally-generated power to ensure our customers won’t be vulnerable to supply shortages and price spikes. We strive to continue providing top-notch service at the lowest prices in the region, and this facility is the cornerstone of reaching that goal. With education remaining a top priority in our community. The City proudly opened several new facilities at the complex at Mahany Park, 1501 Pleasant Grove Blvd., including the state-of-the-art Martha Riley Community Library. It’s environmentally conscious amenities and design, along with an indoor tree reading area for children and a gaming area for teens promote the site as a community gathering place. In the same building is the Utility Exploration Center (UEC), the first of its kind in the nation. It employs dynamic, interactive displays and high-tech applications to educate visitors on utilities, and the key role conservation and consumption habits play in our lives. These facilities will be assets to both businesses and the public, providing educational opportunities for all. Visit www. roseville.ca.us/explore for more information. We are also completing a $10.5 million Historic Old Town Streetscape and Infrastructure Project this March. Ranging from upgraded utilities and revamped pedestrian access, our Old Town area is undergoing a visual and economic transformation as we attract new businesses and shoppers there.
Fire Station No. 7 opened in August on the west side of Highway 65 at the Pleasant Grove exit, enhancing fire coverage for residents and businesses in North Central Roseville and the Highway 65 corridor. The 10,500-squarefoot facility was funded by a fire facilities tax, passed in 1984, on new development. In August, we opened multi-use Antelope Creek Trail. Located in open space along the bountiful creek setting, it offers a safe, comprehensive and integrated addition to our bikeway system. Trails meeting these factors encourage people to get out on bikes and commute to work or school, run errands and get exercise. The Antelope Creek trail, a one-mile stretch along Antelope Creek, begins at the intersection of Galleria Boulevard and Berry Street, and continues to the Rocklin city limits. Cyclists have an alternative to crossing Roseville Parkway and Highway 65, while recreational users and families have an easy ride for all skill levels. For those traveling by car, the best place to access the trail is off of Antelope Creek Drive, down the hill from Creekside Shopping Center. Parks and recreation play a big part in our quality of life and in 2007 we opened five new parks and a cricket field at Maidu Park. Many are “pocket park” designs allowing them to conveniently serve neighborhoods while optimizing space and resource usage.

Historic District Streetscape nears completion
Historic-style clock part of the new streetscape at the Lincoln/ Main/ChurchSt. intersection.
Roseville’s Historic Old Town started its makeover in Fall 2005 with the streetscape and infrastructure project. The project was designed to transform the area into an active part of the Downtown that would attract and encourage business development and growth. The project, scheduled for a March completion, includes new and upgraded utilities, undergrounding of all overhead utilities, replacement of all curbs, gutters, and sidewalks, installation of historic style lighting and street amenities, and decorative fencing and landscaping.
To embrace the community’s history, a railroad viewing platform was constructed at the corner of Lincoln and Pacific streets. The platform provides visitors with an excellent view of the rail yard and the passing trains. The train conductors are regularly seen smiling and waving at onlookers, which makes the experience an enjoyable one for everyone involved. Businesses are ready to welcome shoppers and diners to the Historic Old Town District.
Downtown Tuesday Nights
A car show lines the 400 block of Vernon St. during Downtown Tuesday Nights.
Downtown Tuesday Nights, as presented by Johny 5 Productions and the Downtown Roseville Merchants, is scheduled to take place over 13 Tuesdays in May, June, and July of this year.
The Specific Plan will be completed using the following guiding principles: • Improve connectivity • Establish new land uses and development standards • Create themed districts and gateway elements • Enhance public places for community activity • Physical improvements • Promote arts, culture, heritage, entertainment, and education through programming
This long-standing annual tradition brings thousands of people to Vernon Street in Downtown Roseville to experience warm spring evenings, live music, and a variety of activities. These include a classic car show, kids fun zone, food court, expanded farmer’s market, and more than 100 vendor booths. The event runs from 5-9 p.m. Tuesdays starting in May and admission is always free. This year, residents will enjoy the ease of parking at the new Civic Plaza Parking garage, with an entrance on Oak Street, offering more than 550 additional spaces. And be sure to visit the stores that are open for business on Vernon Street and throughout Downtown Roseville during the event.
Watch for the release of the plan and information about public hearings this spring.
Visit www.downtownroseville.com for more information.
Specific Plan update: Downtown specific workshops An administrative draft of the Downtown Vernon Street and Historic Old Town Specific Plan is currently in the works. The Specific Plan, in conjunction with a set of Development Guidelines and Standards (Downtown code), will guide the future development of Downtown. The project area is 168 acres and includes Vernon Street, Historic Old Town, Royer Park and adjacent Dry Creek, and the Old Douglas Boulevard corridor.

Online BillPay available for utility customers
April bills to reflect part two of 2007 rate adjustment
Join the 4,000 other Roseville utility customers who have signed up for Online BillPay. This service provides a secure and environmentally friendly option of paperless billing, and recurring or one-time payments through a credit card or bank account. Once signed up, you will receive an e-mail from the City each month prompting you to view your utility bill and make payments online. This service is available even if you want to continue to receive your bill in the mail. Visit www. roseville.ca.us/billpay to sign up or to review your payment and consumption history.
The second half of the rate adjustment approved by Roseville City Council in 2007 will take effect in April. Monthly rates for water, wastewater and solid waste will change, adding up to a combined increase of 8 percent. For the average Roseville household, that takes the monthly bill from $64.77 in 2007 to $69.95 in 2008. City council approved the rate adjustment last year due to rising material costs, regulatory compliance requirements, system rehabilitation, and ongoing maintenance. The rate adjustment also allows the City to stay progressive and offer such innovative recycling programs as home pickup of fats, oils, greases, and electronic waste; the new packing foam recycling pilot project; the green waste program, and others. Even with the increase, the City’s rates remain among the region’s lowest, while the level of convenience and service remains the highest.
Programs and business incentives available Downtown The Roseville Redevelopment Agency provides programs to assist investors and businesses interested in locating in Downtown Roseville. Agency staff is available to assist with all development projects and tenant improvements. Promotional and financial incentives are available to businesses that meet the goals of the Downtown’s revitalization strategy including housing, restaurants, and specialty boutiques. Programs include: SCIP Program: Statewide Community Infrastructure Program helps developers finance impact fees. Facade Rebate Program: Provides funds for renovating and improving building facades. Affordable Housing Loans: Residential projects with affordable units may qualify for deferred, low interest loans Property Improvement Loans: Projects aligned with revitalization goals may qualify for low interest loans Project Assistance: Agency staff assist with zoning, variances, land use entitlements, plan review, and inspections. Business Promotion: The Agency has a variety of promotional opportunities for new businesses that meet the revitalization goals. Visit www.roseville.ca.us/redevelopment for more information regarding the programs above.

History of Roseville now online!
Before Roseville was a bustling railroad city, the area was filled with oak groves, sprawling fields, and was home to the Maidu Indians. City historian and Roseville native Leonard “Duke” Davis dedicated his life to recording the history of Roseville. He authored several books about the history and development of Roseville; the most notable being “Milestones & Memories: The Story of Roseville, California 1850-2000.” Compiled from his books, a comprehensive history of Roseville can now be found on the City’s website, along with historical photographs. Visit www.roseville.ca.us/history to read his work, which is broken down by decade.

Roseville Utility Exploration Center Reflections | Page 8
Utility Exploration Center teaches visitors how to help the environment Today’s hottest topic, climate change, comes alive for children and adults at the new Roseville Utility Exploration Center (UEC). Opened in January 2008, the center delivers first-rate interactive learning mixed with fun. Every visit will bring you new thought-provoking information, a refreshed commitment to do your part for the planet, and practical ways to put that commitment into action.
The UEC is located within the Martha Riley Community Library building at 1501 Pleasant Grove Blvd. While you are there, explore the ultramodern library, soon to be the City’s first green building certified under the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System™. Visit www.roseville.ca.us/explore or call (916) 746-1550 for more information.
The center currently features five major exhibits within the 3,200-squarefoot gallery space and a separate 800-square-foot Learning Lab suitable for class field trip experiments, speakers, demonstrations, workshops and other group activities.
The three-foot diameter revolving globe features inside projection that allows staff to run different visual programs. Video displayed through the globe shows the problems of climate change, what it means to Roseville, the City’s efforts to lessen resource depletion, and how individual actions can bring about change.
This mountain of trash is a kid-favorite feature that demonstrates how today’s convenient lifestyle has led to increasing waste, which is quickly filling up landfills, often with toxic and non-biodegradable items.
The touch screen displays allow people to determine the size of their carbon footprints and offer ways to reduce them.

Our water supply, drought, and how you can help The snow pack in the Sierra Nevada Mountains - during a very dry 2007 - was not sufficient to keep many reservoirs from dropping to low levels. Folsom Lake was at a record low, which is important to Roseville because Folsom Lake is our primary water supply source. There were indications that the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (Bureau) could potentially cut water allocations from Folsom Lake to the cities and water districts that use it. In December, the lake was just 24 percent of capacity. With all of the rain and the snow fall that we have experienced in January, our water supply situation is showing improvement. At the beginning of February, Folsom Lake sat at 28 percent of capacity which is 53 percent of normal for that time of year. The Sierra snowpack that feeds Folsom Lake sat at 118 percent of normal which amounts to 71 percent of average for the season. So, we are not out of the woods yet, but the outlook is brighter. In March, we anticipate the Bureau to tell the City what percentage of our water supply allocation we will receive for the remainder of the year. Although we are hopeful that the City’s allocation will not be cut, it is important to point out that it is our collective responsibility not to take our water supply for granted. Roseville residents and businesses can voluntarily take actions to conserve water now. An easy way to do this is to particpate in several free water saving programs and to use the many rebates offered. In 2008, the City expanded our cache of free water-saving programs and rebates available to Roseville’s residents and businesses. New programs include rebates for installing high-efficiency toilets, planting drought-tolerant plants, and purchasing a cover for your pool. These are great ways to save water and can lower your water bill. Visit www.roseville.ca.us/savewater or call (916) 774-5761 for more information on water-conservation programs and rebates.
Purple pipes keep Roseville green Recycled water is a clean and safe source of irrigation water conveyed through purple pipes in the ground. Recycled water is produced at both of the City's wastewater treatment facilities. It has been treated to the highest level required by the California Department of Health Services and is approved for many uses, except drinking. Recycled water is used in parks, medians, and golf courses in Roseville. It is not for drinking, but it's perfect for irrigating grass, plants, and trees. Best of all, it is great for the environment because it keeps the grass and plants green without having to use drinking water. Purple pipes keep Roseville green.
Water Treatment Plant expansion completed After nearly two years of construction, the upgrade and expansion of the Water Treatment Plant at Barton Road is complete. The expansion increased treatment capacity from 60 million to 100 million gallons per day. The plant also added new systems and equipment to expand the water treatment process and to deal with treatment byproducts.

Roseville first in region to offer packing foam recycling Roseville recently launched an Expanded Polystyrene or EPS packing foam* recycling program on a pilot basis. EPS packing foam is typically used to protect electronics or other fragile items during the shipping process. The pilot program is the region’s first effort to collect EPS packing foam and send it to recyclers who turn it into baseboards, crown molding, lightweight concrete, packaging and other products. In addition to the drop-off sites, the city is partnering with businesses to enable retailers to recycle their EPS packing foam. Lightweight EPS packing foam takes at least 500 hundred years to biodegrade and spends that time filling up landfills, clogging waterways with floating debris, and littering the landscape, but little attention has been given to diverting it from the waste stream. This is because EPS packing foam recycling has only recently become widespread. In addition, waste-stream diversion goals target weight rather than volume. The City feels the program is a responsible step toward a greener community. You can help make the program a success by using the recycling dropoff sites and making sure you deposit clean, uncontaminated EPS packing foam only. Visit www.roseville.ca.us/foam for more information. *Please note that the EPS packing foam must be clean and that the City cannot accept packaging peanuts or food containers. Those wishing to recycle foam peanuts should check with local mail-drop stores. Many accept used peanuts and appreciate recycling them instead of purchasing new ones.
EPS packing foam is now being accepted at the following recycling drop-off locations: • Mahany Park at 1575 Pleasant Grove Blvd., next to Bear Dog Park • Maidu Park at 1550 Maidu Dr. • Washington Boulevard at 800 All American City Blvd., across from Placer County Fairgrounds
Power Partners: Beat the summer peak More than 1,000 of your neighbors have already joined the City’s Power Partners program to help Roseville lower summer peak energy demand. The program is easy—you simply allow Roseville Electric to cycle your air conditioner off and on during summer’s hottest afternoons. Those critical hours are when we use the most electricity, stressing the electricity transmission grid and causing California to buy excess power from less desirable sources. The more people who join Power Partners, the more of a positive contribution Roseville can make in reducing peak demand. One of the best things you can do for the environment is also one of the easiest. When you sign up, we will install a switch on or near your outside air conditioning unit. The switch allows us to turn your air conditioner on and off for short periods during high-demand hours. Because your fan continues to run, most people report they notice little or no change in indoor temperatures. Sign up for Power Partners today and receive a $10 credit on your bill and an additional $10 each summer you are a Power Partner. Sign up at www.roseville.ca.us/powerpartners or by calling (877) 754-3566.
Green Cleaning Reflections | Page 12
City looking for volunteers to help keep Roseville litter-free The City of Roseville is in the planning stages of the Third Annual Great Roseville Clean-Up, tentatively scheduled for Sat., May 10. The Great Roseville Clean-Up is done in conjunction with the Keep California Beautiful and the Great American Clean-Up campaigns. If you are interested in volunteering for this year’s event, e-mail your name, mailing address, e-mail address and phone number to [email protected] or call Stephanie Gillis at (916) 774-5569.
May is Water Awareness Month: How are you going to save water? One of the best things you can do for the environment is to use water wisely and we’d like to help. The City’s Environmental Utilities Department offers free services and rebate programs to help you take advantage of to lower your water use. Here are some of our most popular:
Free Water-Wise house calls – Call us to schedule a weekday appointment for one of our water-use specialists to come to your home and analyze your indoor and outdoor water use. Our trained specialists will provide suggestions, rebate information, low-flow devices (if needed), and an irrigation schedule for your lawn. This service is free and can give you the tools and information you need to help lower your water bill and help the environment. $175 Rebate! High–Efficiency toilet rebates – Receive a rebate up to $175
when you replace your older toilet (generally pre-1992, though some early low-flush toilets may qualify) with a new 1.6-gallon, dual-flush, or high-efficiency (HET) toilet. Environmental Utilities offers many more water conservation programs and rebates. Visit www.roseville.ca.us/savewater or call (916) 774-5761.
Make spring cleaning a breeze this year Old TVs, used oil, fizzled out fluorescent tubes, outdated computers – what do you do with them? Roseville makes it easy to properly dispose of these items, with a list of many more. We pick it up and dispose of them properly at no cost to you. Visit www.roseville.ca.us/ batteries or call (916) 774-5780 for a list of the items accepted as part of this service.
Draining your pool may require a permit When pools are drained, the water typically runs down the gutter into the storm drain which flows untreated into nearby creeks. Pool chemicals, such as chlorine, can have a detrimental impact upon fish and wildlife living in local creeks. To prevent this, the City of Roseville requires the pool water to be tested prior to it being drained. In some cases a permit may be required to drain your pool. To obtain approval to discharge your pool water, call the City’s Stormwater Management Division at (916) 774-5750. A city inspector will test your pool for chlorine and other contaminants prior to the water being drained.

What’s Cool About It?
Who Should Care?
Timeline
Estimated Cost/ Source of Funds
Cirby Way Improvement Project
This project includes improvements along Cirby Way from Foothills Boulevard to Riverside Avenue, dual-right turn lanes at the intersection of Cirby & Riverside, a two-lane on-ramp to I-80 toward Sacramento, and dual-left turn lanes at Cirby & Melody, Cirby & Vernon, and Cirby & Foothills.
Drivers: Businesses, residents and commuters will all benefit from this redesigned area. Expanded turn lanes allow for increased traffic circulation; improvements will cut down on emissions created from vehicles idling at intersections.
Construction begins in early spring with completion estimated for late-fall 2008.
$15 million: $12 million in Traffic Mitigation Fees (paid for by new development), and $3 million in gas tax funds
Interstate 80 Widening Project – Phase 2
Phase 1 of this project, which was completed last summer, added an auxiliary lane on east bound I-80 from Riverside to Douglas. In Phase 2, existing carpool lanes in Sacramento County will be extended to the Miner’s Ravine Bridge (just west of Eureka Road) in both east and west bound directions, and auxiliary lanes will be added between interchanges to allow a smoother entrance and exit from the freeway.
Business, commercial and commuter vehicle traffic: I-80 is a critical connection from the Sacramento International and Mather airports and the Ports of Sacramento, Oakland, and Stockton. In addition to business and commercial trips, I-80 carries a significant amount of interregional commuters as well as recreational traffic.
Construction is estimated to begin in early summer 2008 and will last for two years.
Unreleased: paid for by State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), Federal Demonstration funds, and local funds for landscaping
Riverside Avenue Streetscape
This project includes new on-street parking configurations, improved pedestrian crossings, and new sidewalks. Updated street frontages include additional landscaping which will contribute to the new look, function and feel of Riverside Avenue.
Pedestrians and visitors: Riverside Avenue will be redesigned to reflect a more pedestrian-friendly environment— attracting business and visitors from around the region.
Construction is estimated to begin by summer 2008, lasting approximately 14 months.
$14 million: paid for by Redevelopment Agency funds
Pleasant Grove Boulevard & Highway 65 Interchange – Phase 2
This project widens Pleasant Grove Boulevard to three lanes over the crossing of Highway 65 and adds a new loop on-ramp from south bound Pleasant Grove to south bound Highway 65.

Centennial brings opportunities for celebration, and your participation
Cops Care Kids Camp hits the trail Plans are underway for a new, exciting Cops Care Kids Camp (CCKC) -- the 2008 edition of the Roseville Police Department’s award-winning summer camp. Traditionally Roseville’s youth service officers have hosted the weeklong day camp on one of Roseville’s high school campuses, with lots of sports, swimming, food, and fun. For Summer 2008, the youth services staff are looking to shake things up with a stronger emphasis on life skills, police officer mentoring and challenge activities. This summer’s CCKC may even move to an all-week overnight camp format. What won’t change? Cops Care Kids Camp will still be a very affordable and fun program for Roseville kids entering junior high school or intermediate school. CCKC will still be hosted by Roseville Police Department’s enthusiastic staff of school campus officers, and will provide lots of positive interaction between kids and police officers. If you know an upcoming middle schooler who would benefit from this experience, please talk to your school principal or any Roseville Police Department youth service officer, or call Sgt. Karl Dyer at 774-5052.
On April 10, 2009 the City will mark its 100th anniversary and the celebration will last the whole year. Community involvement is the key to success for planning the variety of activities, and residents are invited to participate in the fun by joining any of the six Centennial Celebration subcommittees to help shape the scope of Centennial celebrations. The subcommittees are Historical Remembrances, Rose Parade Float, Special Events, Community Outreach, School Outreach, and Merchandising. Visit www.roseville.ca.us/ centennial to learn more about how to get involved. Our Centennial Celebration includes an application to have a centennial float in the 2009 Rose Parade in Pasadena, which will be attended by 1.5 million people and attract a worldwide television audience of 400 million. The float will be a unique and unparalleled opportunity to gain exposure for our city on a worldwide stage. To help finance the cost of the float, estimated at $200,000, the city launched a Pennies for the Parade campaign. Roseville is asking residents and businesses to donate any amount they can--ideally $1.85 per resident--to offset the cost of the float building. The Pennies for the Parade campaign received a boost at the kickoff event Jan. 16. Former Mayor Paul Lunardi (1954-1956) donated $100, and his contribution was matched by Mayor Jim Gray and historian Duke Davis. Those who attended the Chamber of Commerce’s annual installation dinner Jan. 30 also helped raise funds. Donation jars will be available at local businesses and events. To make a donation, sponsor a jar at your business, or obtain a Pennies for the Parade sticker to put on your jar, go to the event website. You can also log on to the City’s Centennial Celebration website located at www.roseville.ca.us/centennial to see what’s happening, submit memories of your life in Roseville, make appointments to have historic photos scanned, and/or be interviewed on camera for the Roseville Centennial video.

Empower yourself...register to vote!
May is Bike Month
The deadline to register for the Statewide District Primary scheduled for June 3 is Mon., May 19. A primary election is a nominating election in which the voters of each political party choose the nominee who will run against the other political parties’ nominees in the general election. For example, Republicans run against other Republicans and Democrats run against other Democrats for their respective party’s nomination. In this type of election, voters are choosing a candidate to represent their party. They are not choosing the officeholder for a partisan office yet. Contact the Placer County Elections Division or visit the Secretary of State’s website at www.sos.ca.gov for a list of qualified political parties.
Join others this May by getting out of your car and riding your bike for errands, recreation, fitness, and commuting.
The deadline to register for the Presidential General Election on November 4 is Mon., October 20. The election will be the 56th consecutive quadrennial election for president and vice president of the United States. This presidential election schedule coincides with the 2008 Senate elections, House of Representatives elections, and gubernatorial elections, as well as the City of Roseville Council election.
New passport card available The Department of State has recently developed a passport card as a more portable and less expensive alternative to the traditional passport book. The passport card is a basic component of the PASS (People Access Security Service) system announced by Secretaries Rice and Chertoff in January 2006, and will meet the specific requirements of the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative to secure and expedite travel at U.S. land and sea ports-of-entry when arriving from Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Bermuda. The card may not be used to travel by air. It will otherwise carry the rights and privileges of the U.S. passport book and will be adjudicated to the exact same standards. The card will have the same validity period as a passport book: 10 years for an adult, five for children 15 and younger. For adults who already have a passport book, they may apply for the card as a passport renewal and pay only $20. First-time applicants will pay $45 for adult cards and $35 for children cards. The Roseville City Clerk’s office offers passport services. For information, visit www.roseville.ca.us/passport or call (916) 774-5263.
Bike Month is a coordinated regional effort that brings visibility to bicycling as an environmentallyfriendly form of transportation, and reminds people to think about bicycling safely. Each year Bike Month challenges residents in the region, through friendly competition, to log one million miles of bicycling collectively. Formerly known as Bike Commute Month, Bike Month’s efforts expand beyond commuters. Cyclists are encouraged to help the Sacramento Region log a million bicycle miles. Last year more than 4,100 participants of all ages logged 926,638 miles in the region. In 2006 Roseville residents collectively logged more than 60,000 miles! Visit www.mayisbikemonth.com to log your commute, errand,and recreational miles.
