Here are the top five stories today in Roseville:

1. Placer County, home to an aging population relative to the state as a whole, recently joined the AARP’s Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities. The City of Roseville has had that designation since 2019. “Becoming part of this nationwide network reflects our county’s commitment to creating a more livable, age-friendly community for older adults,” said Amy Ellis, director of the county’s Adult System of Care. (Roseville Today)
2. The Placer County Board of Supervisors Tuesday approved several policy changes related to increasing the affordable housing in the county's developed unincorporated areas. Some would allow for new housing types like moveable tiny homes and co-housing or “cottage home” developments as well as a new design manual for multi-family housing. The changes take effect July 14.

A citizen witnessed the theft early Saturday morning at a construction site on Nisenen Valley Drive. After the witness made a call to 911 reporting the type of vehicles that the suspects were using, Lincoln Police responded to the area and found vehicles matching the description and arrested the occupants. "According to the information shared by police, the suspects were identified as Omar Alejo, 38, of Sacramento, Oscar Guillen, 35, of Sacramento and Jose Loya-Carlon, 35 of Sacramento."

Ty Conners said. The Special Olympics will be held next weekend at Santa Clara University. (Gold Country Media)
