Loomis Tried to Be A good Neighbor

In the latest Loomis News mayor Kelly failed to point out that he was selected by the Loomis Town Council to meet with Rocklin and try to work out a solution for the developments around Sierra College and IS80. The Loomis Town Council wanted to be a good neighbor with Rocklin ands sent Russ to work something out. The law suit was our last resort because the meetings failed.
Russ forgot to mention this

Does Loomis want PArks and Open Space?

The question that the Town Council is now faced with is the Town of Loomis ready to pay for the cost of maintaining parks and open space? The town collects money from each home to buy and build parks and buy open space. The question that the council keeps asking is"who is going to pay for the upkeep of them?"
There are several methods that could be used.
One is the Town pays for the cost out of the money that comes into the town.
Another is that the sales tax is increased by 1/2 cent to pay for it.
Or the third is as has been done is that"we do not build parks and give the money to other agencies for their use.
What do you favor?

Hunter Oaks Park

A year ago I asked the other members of the Town Council to approve the purchase of a lot in Hunter Oaks so that a mini park could be built there. The council on two occasions voted against a park and later the lot was sold and now a house is built on it. This was the last lot that a park could be built on. People in the hunter oaks area paid money toward a park but it was never built for them, instead all park monies have been given to the schools to put a in developments on their schools.
