Local church kitchen given red placard for more than 100 rodent droppings. What else?

The cooking facility inside a Florin church was given a red placard after health inspectors found 153 rodent droppings throughout. What do these inspections mean? While a yellow placard signals two or more major violations, these are typically corrected or mitigated during the inspection, according to the Sacramento County Retail Food Inspection Guide . A red placard, however, signals “imminent danger to public health and safety” and suspends an establishment’s health permit until violations are corrected. This could include, but is not limited to, major vermin contamination . In contrast, a green placard means a restaurant passed inspection. The county performs about 14,000 inspections annually and about 97% of establishments pass, spokesman Ken Casparis previously told The Sacramento Bee. Approximately 1% of inspections result in a closure, he said. These were the results of Sacramento County food facility inspections for Thursday, Nov. 5, through Wednesday, Nov. 11. If an inspection listed below needs clarification, business owners can email The Sacramento Bee at servicejournalists@sacbee.com . How to report a business to the health department For readers who would like to report a local restaurant, food truck or café for health violations, you can file a complaint with the facility’s local environmental

Upscale Mexican eatery is coming to Elk Grove's historic Railroad Street

A popular, upscale Mexican restaurant known for its live music is replacing a barbecue spot in Elk Grove. Rosa Madera is launching its second location in the Sacramento area at 9700 Railroad St. in Old Town Elk Grove. The site is taking over Horn Barbecue, which closed in February after nine months in business. Rosa Madera is originally from Orange County, with its flagship location in Santa Ana. The franchise came to Sacramento’s Valley Hi / North Laguna neighborhood at 7521 W. Stockton Blvd. in 2024. The restaurant’s most popular dishes include its enchiladas, carne asada street tacos, and its Los Favoritios plate, which is filled with birria chimichangas, al pastor nachos, and flautas de tinga, deep-fried corn tortillas with Mexican meat in a tomato-chipotle sauce. Its cocktail menu has just as much kick and flavor as its dishes, serving beverages like a sweet Mangoñeada, coconut margarita and spicy tamarindo. The restaurant has live entertainment, with a mariachi band performing on Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays, as well as a live DJ, according to the restaurant’s social media. Rosa Madera did not respond to an interview request from The Sacramento Bee. An exact opening date has not been announced. The location

Massive waves expected in Coos Bay, power rates surge in northern California, and local debates over a baseball park and Flock cameras

A powerful Pacific storm is driving extreme ocean swells toward the Oregon coast, with waves expected to reach 30 to 35 feet. While land winds remained relatively light around Coos Bay, offshore gusts reached 60 mph, creating hazardous beach inundation and severe erosion risks. A high wave warning remains active through Monday morning. The Coast Guard restricted traffic across the Coos Bay Bar and warned that 30-foot seas exceed lifeboat operating limits, leaving helicopter crews from Air Station North Bend as the sole search-and-rescue asset.

Stockton council members spar over grand jury reforms

Though Stockton City Council has agreed to implement the recommendations made by a civil grand jury, agreeing on how to implement those recommendations could be a turbulent journey for the council. Stockton City Council found little common ground in a Nov. 9 study session designed to help the body address the findings of a report by the San Joaquin County Civil Grand Jury, which criticized the council's inability to function as a "cohesive legislative body." At the study session, councilmembers discussed each of the eight recommendations made by the grand jury at length. Councilmembers disagreed on what should be considered a "personal attack," how stringently council should follow staff recommendations, and the usefulness of additional trainings, among other items. No official action was taken by the council at the study session. Rather the meeting served as a way for the council to discuss their thoughts on each recommendation prior to the rapidly approaching Dec. 31 deadline for the implementation of many of the recommendations. The study session was moderated by Henry Gardner, the executive director of Oakland–Alameda County Coliseum Authority and the former city manager of Oakland from 1981 to 1993. The eight recommendations made by the grand jury were:
