Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Roseville public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Regulation of assisted stretching businesses
Two speakers — a licensed massage therapist and a resident injured by stretching — asked the city to extend massage ordinance oversight to unregulated 'stretchology' businesses, arguing the public faces injury risk from untrained practitioners.
2026 Weed Abatement Program
A West Roseville resident asked the city to fence off low-lying greenbelt areas during goat grazing so wildlife habitat survives; he reported pheasants and other wildlife largely gone from a grazed greenbelt.
Permit fee scam targeting Roseville applicants
Scammers are sending fake invoices and emails claiming people owe permit or zoning renewal fees to the city. The city is warning applicants through its website and emails — the city will never ask you to pay via random email links or wire transfers.
SB 707 remote public comment
Starting July 15, you'll be able to comment at city council meetings by phone or Microsoft Teams without showing up in person. The second end-of-meeting comment period goes away, and boards and commissions still require in-person attendance.
Fire Cadet Pilot Program
A $45,000 pilot funded from last year's surplus would train late-teens and young adults as a pipeline into fire careers, addressing a shrinking recruitment pool with one-third of the force retirement-eligible within five years.
Sober Grad Night funding for high schools
Parent organizers told the council that rising costs — buses alone run $28,000 for one school — are making sober grad nights hard to fund. The council raised its donation from $500 to $700 per school for Roseville, Woodcreek, Oakmont and West Park.
Roseville High School campus security and Campo Street vacation
The school district wants a half-acre stretch of Campo Street through the Roseville High School campus permanently closed for student safety. A public hearing is set for May 6; the real decision comes then.
