Krista Bernasconi’s title changed from vice mayor to mayor when she was sworn in as Roseville’s 59th mayor for a second two-year mayoral term at a special City Council meeting held on December 11. She has also served two two-year terms as Roseville’s vice mayor.
Karen Alvord, who won the District 5 seat in the November election, was sworn in as vice mayor, and will become Mayor in 2026. She replaces Councilmember Scott Alvord, who termed out after being elected to two consecutive four-year terms.
Incumbents Bruce Houdesheldt (District 3), who finished a two-year term as Mayor on December 11 and previously served as vice mayor, and Tracy Mendonsa (District 1) were sworn in for additional four-year terms as Councilmembers after being unopposed in their districts.
“It’s an incredible honor to serve the City of Roseville,” said Bernasconi. “This community holds a special place in my heart, and I look forward to continuing to serve alongside my outstanding colleagues to ensure Roseville remains a remarkable place to live and thrive.”
A 2020 voter-approved amendment to the City Charter resulted in Roseville’s mayors and vice mayors being determined on a rotational basis starting in 2020 with the vice mayor in District 3.
