Kate.
Good evening. I'm Kate Rosenlieb, a resident of Heritage Solar in West Roosevelt.
I came and spoke to you at last month's July 15th meeting regarding safety issues from
lack of adequate cell phone service in my senior living community. I thought it only
appropriate to come and say what's happened since I spoke to you last month.
The City IT representatives we've been working with, Se Hong and Matt Sweet, and our Council
Representative Karen Alford, included us in a meeting with Senior Deputy City Attorney
Mike Christensen, Development Services Director Mike Isom, and Development Services Assistant
Director Greg Bitter, which occurred yesterday.
day. We at Heritage Solar are immensely grateful for the efforts of our city representatives
to engage us in an open forum where information, ideas, concerns, goals, and constraints could
be shared and better understood. The meeting didn't produce any magical answers or short-term
results, but just having the city recognize the need for this open forum where several
stakeholders got a voice and resulted in all of us being better informed was so vital to our
community. The city's IT reps teamed up with Verizon to try a new enhanced version of a small cell
unit that will definitely help many in our neighborhood and this should go live in just a
few days. T-Mobile is making good progress on a new cell tower at the Westbrook Storage Facility
which also will improve cell phone service to many in my neighborhood.
These new and exciting service improvements will not solve all of our service coverage gaps,
not even close.
But I am so thankful for the steps in the right direction
and for the incredible efforts your team is making.
I want to also mention the team at Roseville Electric
who have been so helpful to our heritage solar community.
They often deal with cell phone providers and their subcontractors.
So shout out to all of you who work and volunteer here, pouring your hearts into this amazing
community.
Keep working hard on this issue and continue to think outside of the box, as we still need
better cell phone service in West Roseville.
I am truly awed and inspired by the personal and collective efforts on this issue.
Thank you.
Thank you for your comments Kate. Okay, next up is Ken Dell. Hello
council members. My name
is Ken Dell. I have lived in Roseville since 1998. So I have seen its growth and expansion.
And I understand that having strong leadership takes a lot of work.
So I find that measure A would be a good thing for city council members, and you guys deserve
a pay raise.
A raise that goes from $600 to $2,550 is, I would want that raise too.
However,
when you are enabling mass surveillance via flock or other ALPR
cameras, wanting a data center built and us residents have to cover the cost of
resources being used, like water and electricity bills going up significantly,
and ICE being in Roseville wreaking or will wreak havoc on our economy. Take
For example, denials, where I have talked to people that have been negatively impacted
by ICE's presence.
The vendors that had been there for years are gone.
They left out of fear of being detained and or being killed by ICE.
This then impacts the surrounding businesses, which I've also talked to, and they can
confirm it.
it. It's a domino effect, a really bad one. People are already struggling just to get groceries.
I know an extra $2,000 would be a blessing, but that's not the case, because that's what
you guys are asking for. Council members are asking for.
So I would ask that you rethink
your stance and your approach and understand that Flock, ICE and this data
center, they are bad for us on a social and economic level. Thank you. Thank you
for your comments.
Hey, Mark Hoffman. It's Mark there.
Good evening.
I come as a
representative of Placer Repertory Theater. Placer Repertory Theater is Placer
County's only professional theater company. It's been in existence since 2018
18 prior to the COVID crisis. We provide theatrical experience for all communities within the Placer
County region all the way up to the summit of the Sierras. We provide performances, public
performances for general audiences. We provide programs and shows for schools.
There's a visual and performing arts program that we offer to schools.
We are certified vendors for several of the school districts in the region.
Our season this year opens next month and we will be having performances here in Roseville and all the neighboring communities.
We have no permanent performance home venue.
you, all our performances are done either from in rented spaces or spaces that are provided
by whoever contracts with us to perform shows for them.
We provide opportunities, it's an educational, there's an educational aspect to what we do,
and we provide opportunities for aspiring professional actors and theatrical technicians to gain experience.
We are also open to, we are actively hoping to recruit to expand our board of directors
and our advisory board and actively inviting people who would like to volunteer to be a
part of the theatrical work, and gain training. So we're easy to find on Facebook, Placerrep,
also website, placerrep.org. Thank you. Thank you for your comments, and good luck with
your season.
Okay, next is Mary Steele.
I'm Mary Steele. I'm President of the Midoo
Neighborhood Association, and I have a letter of appreciation to the City
Council and to the Parks, Recreation and Libraries Department. On behalf of the
Roosevelt Coalition of Neighborhood Associations, Arcona, and the Midoo
Neighborhood Association, we want to recognize and present this letter of
appreciation for this.
Street scape improvements, enhancing both sides of Rocky Ridge Drive between Professional
Drive and Mallard Lane, as well as on South Kirby Way between Rocky Ridge Drive and Old
Auburn Road. These improvements form the perfect framework showcasing the inviting resources
of my new regional park and the surrounding community. These landscaping improvements
reflect the commitment of the city and the community to fulfill the city's mission
and vision statements and the joint purposes of Arcona and the subsidiary
Mydu Neighborhood Association. More specifically the city's mission to
provide exceptional services in a fiscally responsible manner that
enhance the quality of life for its residents and city staff. These
landscaping improvements blend a balance of optimizing the city's
infrastructure to enhance land roads and regional and mighty regional park
with its facilities while compensating, complimenting, sorry,
homes in the adjacent neighborhoods and contributing to a vibrant community.
Overall, these improvements provide a boost to maintaining the high quality of life we enjoy in the City of Roseville.
Your investment in our community is visible and appreciated.
And I want to thank Lance Hibbins for writing the letter.
Who can I give this to? The City Clerk?
Thank you for your comments.
Thank you so much.
Next up will be Clayton Straughn.
Hello, members of the council. My name is Clayton Straughn. I'm resident of
Roseville District 2. I'm here also to talk about flock cameras and in response to the
recent study published in Business Insider that more than 70% of the alerts sent to
were false positives. These false positives waste half time and can cause significant
financial and social consequences or even endanger the lives of people who are falsely accused
of car theft or another crime. The trade-off implicit in a flock contract is that we bear
the high contract costs, the increased surveillance, potentially abusable data tracking in exchange
for better crime clearance stats, but this was not a great idea to begin with and now
Now it's clear that in addition to the known downsides, it actually just wastes time and
harm citizens in place of the supposed upside.
In that same article, Flock's security blamed the City of Roosevelt's installation intentionally
chosen to follow our own privacy laws and policies for the shockingly high error rate,
which honestly I feel is very telling about the level of respect they give to the public
servants who are working with them.
I recommend cancelling the contract with Flock.
You would not be the first city to do so, in fact over 50 cities around the
have already ended their flock contracts
for a variety of security and abuse risks
and documented failures of the program.
Most recently, Grass Valley directly to the north
just voted to end their contract
within the last couple of weeks.
Even if you end it,
there are some cities such as Dayton, Ohio
and Evanston, Illinois have identified that it was unclear
whether flock actually even went
and commissioned the cameras,
or if they were still recording the network without permission.
So they had to resort to blocking them
by putting a trash bag over them.
Another sign of the disrespect that this company has for the municipalities that are contracting
its service.
So, and by extension, the citizens that they're surveilling.
We don't need to give them any more of our money to provide this subpar and dangerous
service.
Thank you for your time.
Thank you for your comments.
Okay.
And the last card I have up here is Kim, think Brown?
Right.
Oh, right.
Come on up, Kim.
My name is Kim.
I am also a resident of the city of Roseville. I've grown up here. I've raised my daughter here. I love the city
I love this community
I'm here to speak about flock because after doing some research
It's become alarming the information that I'm learning. I don't think ALPRs are a bad idea
I think they're a good idea and they can be a useful tool for the police
But what I am seeing right now in the terms and conditions of flock earlier this year they changed it to
granting them exclusive rights to the data and information that they are
collecting. That is a huge privacy and safety issue. It's a huge privacy and
concern for all of us. If a private company worth billions of dollars whose
main objective is to make money has access to our data and our private
information. I'm asking you to please cancel this contract with Flock. It's
no good for anyone. Flock has a history we've already talked about. They're
accuracy and reliability rates and the dangers about that, but they have a history. They're
not a company with integrity. They have a history of lying. They've lied about when
cities and corporations have canceled their contracts. They've continued to stream. They've
continued to collect that data. They lied to a police chief about when the police
chief asked if it had heat mapping capabilities. They lied about the technological capabilities
capabilities of their product. It does have mapping capabilities. That's predictive AI
that can use patterns based on information gathered to find out where you'll go next,
what you'll do next. That information in the hands of the wrong people is very dangerous.
It could have catastrophic consequences for all of us, for our city across the nation.
It is not safe to give a private company information that used to be exclusive to law enforcement
agencies that used to be exclusive and required a warrant to access to a private company whose
main objective is to make money.
This is a dangerous situation I'm asking you for our privacy.
Now that we know better, we need to do better.
Information is coming to light.
I'm asking you to please consider cancelling your contract with Flock.
Thank you so much for your time.
Thank you for your comments.
Okay, I'm going to ask the city clerk.
Did we have anybody on line?
At this time, if any member of the public...
Oh, we've got someone else here in the public.
Did you want to...
Okay.
Go ahead.
We'll take one more here.
Okay.
Hi, Jennifer Chapman.
I'm a resident of Roseville,
and I just had a few things.
First, a big thank you for these concerts in the park.
I had so much fun at Bee Gees Fever
with all the hundreds of other people.
It was really great.
I want to also say, I was glad to see that there was some public restroom facilities at
Eastwood Park along the multi-use trail, which I've been just walking with neighbors regularly
and there's a lot of people out there and I thought it was very strategic that they
had three portable restrooms and two of them were zip tied so that only one was available
and it was obviously a strategy to be cost-effective with the pumping, cleaning sort of process.
But I know that it sounds like the one that was created down at Riverside had, you know,
issues with, you know, whatever people seeking shelter and using them maybe for other purposes
and it had to be closed. But it's going to be very important to deal with human waste along
along the trail and along the creek.
I guess with that, I'll just also say just being out there more, there's, I saw a beautiful
blue heron, there's, you know, incredible wildlife, but there's also non-natives.
And one that really stood out, it looks like a wild forest of bamboo, but there's something
called Arundo, it's a giant reed is the common name, and it's really a problem in
the whole Sacramento River watershed, so just put that on radar.
And then I just want to say I've been navigating roof replacement on a duplex with an adjacent
owner that is not receptive.
And I just want to say anything that the city can do in local ordinances to require
future two-family unit dwellings to have separate roofs architecturally would be a
really beautiful thing.
It would just prevent a lot of conflict.
I mean, there's going to be a shared wall, but you don't have to have a shared roof in the design.
And then lastly, I just want to say El Nino is coming.
We're all hearing a lot about this approaching storm season,
and we just need to really step up the storm preparedness for everybody in messaging.
And just there's so many property things related to gutters and all kinds of things.
and I know it relates to the city's, you know, water management issues as well, so thank you.
Thank you for your comments. Okay, now, is there any other here? Okay, we'll take, we'll take a
couple more in here and then we're going to move to those that have been waiting online.
Good evening and thank you for your time. My name is Stacy Frost. I am a member of,
and the general secretary of the Rosal Tuesday night group of Alcoholics Anonymous
at 315 Lincoln Street. Floyd B., who got sober on January 20th, 1945, started the
Rosalind Tuesday night group on October 5th, 1945, at 307 Main Street. This made
the fourth AA group in Northern California and Nevada. Once the group grew
larger, Floyd B. moved it to 315 Lincoln Street, where it still holds 27
meetings every week. 178 original members of the Rosalind Tuesday night group
passed away sober and another 106 members have passed away sober since.
There are currently 296 members that have more than one year sober and more than 50 members
that have less than a year sober with more joining every day.
We have several meetings that have up to 50 to 75 people in attendance.
Parking is already hard with the use of the lot across from the Opera House which
has 55 parking spots.
Without help without it there will be people that cannot attend meetings at
the Roswell Tuesday night group. The program of Alcoholics Anonymous and the
Roswell Tuesday night group doesn't just provide us with meetings it provides us
with a sense of belonging and a place for fellowship. It saves lives and brings
families back together. We ask that the City of Roosevelt please renew its
lease with the parking lot so we can continue to save lives and help
countless others to recover from the disease of alcohol. Thank you for
time. Thank you for your comments. Okay, is any other, anybody else? Okay, we'll move to
online. Okay, great. At this time, if any member of the public that's joining us remotely
would like to make a comment on non-agenda items, please raise your hand.
Okay, we see
none at this time, Mayor, so that concludes this portion of public comment. Okay, thank
you. Okay, we'll move to the consent calendar. I'm going to request that the clerk announce
their procedures for the consent calendar.
Thank you so very much.
So consent calendar items are considered routine in nature
and are approved on one motion of the city council.
An item may be pulled for further discussion
from any member of the city council
or a member of the staff or the public.
At this time, no such requests have been made
either by the city council members or staff.
At this time, is there any member in the public
that would like to pull an item from the consent calendar?
Okay, seeing none. Any member of the public joining us remotely? Would anyone
like to pull an item from consent?
We see none. So at this time, the City
Council will consider consent calendar items 1 through 14. May I please have
a motion to approve? So moved. Second. Thank you. We have a motion on the floor
with the second. We'll start our roll call with Council Member Mendenza. Yes.
Council Member Rucuti. Yes. And Vice Mayor Albert. Yes. Thank you.
We will move
And item number seven, we have staff to provide our presentation.
Item 15 on the agenda, if you're following along.
Good evening, Vice Mayor and members of the City Council.
My name is Jill Nunn and I'm your Director of Parks, Recreation and Libraries.
Joining me tonight is Tara Gee, our Park Planning and Development Manager, and Narendra
Sufi, our librarian who also sees, not only sees our libraries, but also our cultural
arts program as well.
So Tara is going to share a little bit about the Fitiment Homestead Vision Plan that we are asking you to approve tonight.
So I'll turn it over to Tara.
Thanks Jill. It's a pleasure to be here to present the vision plan to you.
In 2023, the City Hire page in Turnbull to assist us in developing a vision plan for the Historic Fitiment Homestead.
This picture shows Walter Fitiment standing in front of the Fitiment homestead with two dogs, and presumably two of his children.
This is around 1890.
This project is located on a .85 acre area and represents the last remaining elements of the Fitiment family's agricultural holdings.
This location is off of Panther Place and across from West Park High School.
This site is part of the pistachio regional park. Here's a brief chronology of
the homestead. In 1856 the property was initially established. 1910 the second
story was added. In 1948 the granary was converted to a
turkey hatchery and in 1965 pistachio trees were planted. In 2002, the property was sold.
In 2010, the property was placed on the National Register for Historic Places and the timeframe
that is noted in the registers from 1879 to 1956. And in 2017, the property was deeded
over to us by the city.
In formulating or developing this vision plan,
we had an extensive public outreach program.
It was long and deliberate.
So we started out with in August of 2024
where we held our first meeting with key stakeholders
to brainstorm potential opportunities.
And 17 people attended and they represented
the Roseville Historical Society,
the Roseville City School District, the Roseville Joint Union School District,
Finnavitt Farm, Neighborhood Association, and Residence, and of course City staff.
In January of 2025, we held a virtual public meeting to introduce the project to the public,
provide background information, present goals and objectives for the plan, and relevant case
studies. Attendees provided their thoughts and feedback. And in July of 2025, we held an in-person
meeting and shared concept ideas for two alternatives. And asked the attendee's to share their
priorities through a dot exercise where they selected a number of preferences and also
indicated a number of preferences that they could not support.
So both in support of features and ideas that they didn't like.
In February of 26, we opened a two week writing period where we recorded the consultants
review of the final draft plan and included a written transcript. We posted
that online and then asked residents to respond over a two-week period. And
through this we only received one comment and that comment was not relevant to
the project. So to share what the vision plan shows I'm going to break it out
into outdoor spaces as well as indoor spaces.
So we'll start with the front lawn,
which is more of a formal area.
The front lawn area is proposed to be the area
that takes advantage of the facade of the building
and it would be because the facade is more stately.
So the activities that could occur there
once renovated are family picnics,
lawn games, weddings, wedding receptions
and events such as that.
In the rear lawn it is combined with a patio area which I'll describe in a
minute the patio but the lawn space is near the rear and can accommodate active
and passive uses. It's a flexible space to have both community events and
private gatherings. And now for the patio this area provides paved surface
for events and community programs. Private events can also occur such as
art and wine festivals, farmers markets, art shows, school tours, and more.
Included in the plan is a perimeter fence with gated pedestrian access points
around the homestead property as well as connections to the larger
Pistachio Regional Park. It includes skates for vehicular access
for maintenance and for event setup and takedown.
These skates are intended to be locked and opened only when staff are
present. Lastly, the parking. An initial area shown here to the right of the screen. The
future intentions are to expand the parking when additional phases of the larger park
are constructed.
We have two exterior buildings associated with the homestead. The coolers
on the right of the slide and close to the house and the smokehouse is shown on the
left is further away from the home. Both are proposed to be stabilized and
potentially used for storage. There will be interpretive signs that describe the
purpose of both buildings as they were used in the late 1880s and 1890s.
I'm
moving on to the home itself. For the exterior, in order to open it to the
public, we will need to make ADA improvements. While the house has been
stabilized small work can be done to further stabilize it. Previous stabilization work
included a new roof, the addition of downspouts, removal of dry rot, and new exterior paint.
Other work to occur is to address the additional dry rot, address the windows and doors to
name just a few of those items. On the west side, new fabric canopies are proposed
and on the south side, new stairs and handrails are also proposed. For the interior,
where the first floor is proposed to be the main public area.
The two largest rooms, if you can see it in green,
are the exhibit areas.
These same areas could also host smaller indoor gatherings
such as where the exhibits can move to the side.
So during, when there's not a gathering,
the first floor will be filled with different exhibits.
and the other gatherings could be part of either rental or class instructional or
any other kind of rental that people might be interested in. Also the existing
kitchen is proposed to become a small catering kitchen to support those small
events. The floor plan also accommodates a public reception area where
staff can be during open office hour or open hours of the facility as well as
restroom. The existing garage is also an opportunity for more activities. It's
proposed to include public restrooms in the interior multi-use space which can
be used for classroom tours either for education or as a lunch area or both.
Perhaps a small gift shop or a meeting space can also be included. Also
proposed his large extended overhang which could extend seating opportunities outdoors
when the weather is appropriate. The second floor is proposed to be a back-of-house space
for staff to store exhibits, prepare or assemble new exhibits, or prep an area for school tours.
A future potential could be that the second floor is an area for art exhibits. For this
to happen, we would also need to add an elevator to ensure access for all since the art gallery
would invite the public into that space.
For interpretation, the home set is great place
for education and interpretation. What better place to learn about the pioneer days of the 1800s?
So in the landscape, interpretation can include interactive outdoor exhibits about agricultural
natural history, natural ecology, and other interpretive signs.
For this, we would need a more detailed interpretive plan, and that is recommended in the vision
plan.
For the main house interpretation, as I mentioned, permanent exhibits could be along the walls
and movable exhibits in the center when there are no events.
covered, suggested topics to be covered within the house are the arrival of pioneer families,
putting down roots, home life in the 1800s, and information about food and agriculture.
The vision plan also identifies potential phasing.
Depending on funding, we could either combine phases or break them out even further.
For example, phase 1A, phase 1B.
For the bigger effort, these phases are outlined in the plan, and the first one is additional
stabilization of the building.
Phase two is the basic landscape cleanup.
Phase three is front of house or the blue area shown here, which is, as I described
that first effort, taking advantage of the estate facade.
The phase four is the house rehab shown in purple.
Phase five is the rear outdoor garden space in yellow.
And then lastly, the garage in pink.
This suggested phasing is strategic.
By following the recommended phasing,
we're able to use portions of the .85 acres sooner rather than later.
So that, for example, if we focused on the front of house,
activities and events rentals can occur there while more construction or
rehabilitation occurs at the back of house. It also allows for access so that
whatever we do first second or third is not impacted by the fourth fifth and
sixth phases of construction.
All right now about the money. Funding is
estimated about 5, between 5 and 7 million in 2026 dollars. This amount will
need to be advanced and consider inflation depending on how long it takes
us to build the park for each you know each year it's going to cost us just a
little bit more and we should be considering 3 to 5 percent annual
inflation for every phase that we put off. For the stabilization work
work previously done, we spent $350,000 in 2017. In the West Roosevelt specific plan,
it only accounted for $250,000 of funding. And currently, there are no additional monies
allocated or funding sources for this plan. So the question is, why did we put so much
work into a vision plan? Well, seeking grants or holding fundraisers
donors will be necessary to make this vision plan a reality.
And without a vision to share, we would not be able to apply for grants.
We would not be able to attract donors.
We would not have a vision to share with any potential fundraising opportunities we might
have.
And so this vision plan incentivizes people to participate and help us build this vision
and preserve the historic value of this site.
The vision plan was reviewed by the Parks and Recreation
Commission at their May 4th meeting
where they recommended approval to the council.
So this concludes the presentation
and we're all here available to answer any questions
you may have.
Thank you.
Does the council have any questions?
only comment is that how you have it in different phases so that you can get
something done maybe still you you know you utilize it and use it before you
know finish the complete program I had a couple questions I love the aspect of the
mix use of the art alternative on the second level and then the opportunity
to be able to have a variety of events inside and outside with big and
small events my question was and that slides out up anymore but I think it was
a third or fourth one where you went into the parking to the right of the house I
was trying to follow along I saw the parking I saw that would have been what
the north there I think it's the next one
whatever one had the gate that was
open here we go so I see where we've got the parking to the side of the
house but if there's going to be a catering or a prep kitchen along the
back which you alluded to is there specific parking or an alley because if
I'm looking at this right you've got parking on both sides with a with a lane
like you would a regular you know parking spot in a you know retail shopping
center but if a catering company is coming in how do they navigate to get
to that back area are we you know you know that there was going to be gates that
would be open only when staff is present is there a service gate for the service
area of that house that's designated yes so you see two white squares and the
one that is by the parking lot closest to the parking lot that's the garage and
right above that you see a beige color so that's hard paving concrete
probably and then again to the right is the parking lot and you see gray pathways
so that gray leads right into the concrete path and then to the back of the
house that the catering kitchen is part of the big house so that is a little
further down so they would have to drive through the gate and down the path
the beige pathway past the garage into the main house or to the back of the
house and that's where the catering kitchen is. Okay which brings me to my next question and maybe
it's not on here because it just is assumed but is that also towards the back area where the
dumpsters will be for those events and just for the daily use? Well those are actually details
we'll have to work out we haven't really this is the high level plan so we certainly to your
point need to look and accommodate that so we'll have to strategically locate that and
And then perhaps when there's an event we can move things closer and then move them out
when we're not using or we don't have a high volume abuse.
Okay, great.
Thank you.
Okay.
As far as the parking, I didn't see where that is in the phase, so is that in an early
phase?
It would have to be, yes.
Okay.
And then grants.
You addressed it a little bit, but do we anticipate that there's grant programs
that we could help to bring in you know to help fund. Yeah there's state and
federal grants that are related to historic preservation and those would
be the ones that we would pursue. For example the construction of the mighty
museum we had those types of grants that supported our construction of that
museum so we would seek those types of grants for this. Great thanks that's
actually a really good example, so thank you for that. Okay, with that, I'm going to open it up to
public comment. Is there anybody that would like to comment on this agenda item?

the city manager or attorney, do you have any? I don't have anything. Thank you. Okay.
The reports. Thank you. Thank you. We'll move to council reports. And let's do we want
to start? Oh, sure. I also was going to mention that and as the vice mayor mentioned
And when we started our meeting that we had the passing of Peter Hill, he was a council
member from Rockland.
He was a council member who was on a six-term mayor of council, and he was on the council
for 30 years.
Very nice man, very loved his city, loved California, he loved all of everything.
And a lot of things that you see in Rockland was because of his planning and his foresight
with his community.
and that was some mention about him some things that I've been on one is the
grants advisory commission meeting I think vice mayor Albert was with me and
so was Bruce Halvershelt but we were able to see the people who were who were
chosen for grants for in here in in our region and there were 18 of them many
more applied but that's who was picked and so it was really exciting to see them
and get their awards and also then they told us what they did for the community
and that was just really fantastic and what you know how thoughtful they were
and what their you know plans that they did so that was really good and I was
was on the PCWA Roseville Water Committee with Vice Mayor Albert, and that was a good
meeting.
As a matter of fact, I'm going to be on a meeting this Friday for our group, for our
Water Committee, representing Roseville and PCWA for a sites reservoir, so it's a
It's been on the books for a long time, but you know, almost see the light that maybe it really could happen. So that's why we go
No, no reports vice mayor. Thank you. Okay, so I will fill in I have some some we've been spending a lot of time together
I think last couple of weeks calling
The August 6th, I think I was the day after our last council meeting. We opened up winding Creek School
I think no, I wasn't I thought you were there. Okay. I know a council member how to shell was out there with me
and I think Mayor Berlusconi and it was just kind of fine because I know that
neighborhood has been waiting for their school and it's always fun when we can be
a part of celebrating with the school district and open up the school for the
residents. And there was a Sun City, I know you were with me at that one. I was
at the board, our mayor, I said a few words. They have their own governance
board in Sun City and so we had the privilege of being a part of kind of
honoring the outgoing board members and celebrating the new board members coming in.
You mentioned the grants commission, I think there were 18 non-profits, more, you know,
more non-profit work that could have been funded, but $279,000 from the Citizens Fund went
out to help all that hard work that's making our community better.
So it was fun to be there to celebrate with them.
We had the Sierraview Country Club, so many of us, I think, have probably been at events
or meetings over the years out at the Country Club.
It's, was it 70, I think 70 years old?
Is that what I remember?
I think even older than that, yeah.
Even older than that.
But they just went through a pretty massive renovation and we had the opportunity to
be out there and cut the ribbon and celebrate and I know it's exciting when we see investments
in establishments like that in our community
where we can gather and there's not often a lot of places
that you can bring lots of people to events.
So it's fun to see that they've been able to modernize
and open up for the community.
And then I serve on the placer air pollution control.
So we did have, we've quarterly meetings.
I did have that meeting that thing really knew
to report there, but it's always interesting to see
and hear kind of some of the issues
that that the Commission looks at in terms of making sure that our air quality is
is clean and tomorrow is a big day we have our State of the City where Mayor
Bernosconi will be there to give us an address so hopefully it's open to the
public it's at our new soccer sports complex out on the western side of
Roosevelt so hopefully we'll see some of you out there and with that I am
going to adjourn the meeting and we'll see you in a couple weeks
