  Good morning. This is the Sacramento Brief, your
• 0:08
  weekday roundup of overnight headlines and what's
• 0:11
  ahead across the city. I'm Carol. It's Thursday,
• 0:16
  September 3rd, 2026. Let's get you caught up.
• 0:19
  We began in Rosemont where there was an overnight
• 0:21
  standoff in the neighborhood known as The Woods
• 0:24
  off South Watt and Frederic Avenues. There's
• 0:27
  only limited information available right now,
• 0:29
  but at this point we know one person is in custody.
• 0:32
  The scene remains active early this morning with
• 0:35
  some residential roadways blocked while the investigation
• 0:37
  continues. And Sacramento police are investigating
• 0:40
  what they call a rash of burglaries targeting
• 0:43
  downtown businesses. Police say nine businesses
• 0:46
  have been burglarized since Monday night. The
• 0:49
  incidents were reported along J Street, 20th
• 0:51
  Street, F Street, 11th Street, Dos Rios Street,
• 0:55
  and 16th Street. Police provided general blocks
• 0:59
  where the burglaries occurred, but did not identify
• 1:02
  individual businesses. We'll keep an eye out
• 1:05
  for additional information from the Sacramento
• 1:07
  Police Department. In weather, there's actually
• 1:11
  a chance you could see a little rain today. There's
• 1:14
  a 30 % chance of rain with partly cloudy skies
• 1:16
  and a high near 77. South winds will be around
• 1:20
  5 to 9 miles per hour with gusts as high as 18.
• 1:24
  Any rainfall should be light, less than a tenth

  to The Brief. And City Watch. Sacramento residents
• 1:57
  have a bigger incentive to ditch the lawn. The
• 2:02
  city has temporarily increased its grass conversion
• 2:06
  rebate rate from $1 .50 to $2 .50 per square
• 2:10
  foot. Single -family homeowners can now receive
• 2:13
  up to $5 ,000 to replace grass with water -efficient
• 2:17
  landscape in their front and backyard, front,
• 2:21
  side, or backyards. The city is also offering
• 2:25
  up to $200 towards professional landscape design
• 2:28
  assistance. Multifamily properties can qualify
• 2:31
  for even larger rebates. To receive a temporary
• 2:34
  hire rate, applicants must submit. The application
• 2:37
  must be submitted by February 28, 2027. Since
• 2:42
  the program began in 2014, Sacramento residents
• 2:44
  have replaced nearly 2 million square feet of
• 2:48
  grass with water -efficient landscapes. You can
