About Downtown

For years I have tried to work on projects that helped the downtown. Loomis ahd the first Farmer's Market. The Train Depot has a lot of special events. The Summer Concerts brings people.
These are all things I have worked on. I have asked the Town Council to consider a plan to revitilized downtown but they show little intrest. If you are concerned either write or contact the other Council people with your concerns.

How much should be spent in 2008

The Loomis Town Council is looking at adding some new things to the budget. This current year we have about $130,000 surplus.
Some of the proposals for next year are
Funding of Fire District $350,000
Add a zoning enforecemt person $ 75,000
A New General Plan $ 150,000
Redure part of a road 80.000

Total New Programs $630,000 for 2008

This means the town would have to take $500,000 out of the 2.5 million reserved fund. The reserve fund would only last for another 4 years then the Town would have to cut stuff.

As far as a new General Plan my feeling is we do not need it at this time. People in Loomis do not want the Town to change so there is no need to rezone the Town

Thw $350,000 for the Fire District is because they are going broke and are looking to the Town to help them out. The only problem is that idf the Town helps them , then in about 4 years both the Fire District and the Town will go broke. The only way to slove the fire district is the people of Loomis vote for an additional tax assement for the fire district.

Let me know what you think

Thanks Miguel
