Loomis Library Building Purchase and Sale Agreement Placer County announced the closure of the Loomis Branch Library in February 2014. That action led to significant public outcry and concern, which eventually culminated in the Town taking several actions intended to save the Town’s library. Those actions included entering into a 10-year lease (June 2016) and the successful passage of a 1/4-cent sales tax measure, intended to fund the operation of the Library. In 2016 the Library was operated by the Friends of the Library and in 2019 the Town transitioned the operation of the Library to Town staff by creating a new library department and hiring full-time staff. Town staff began working with Placer County on the potential purchase of the Library Building and property. The results of that work is now presented to Council for approval tonight in the form of a purchase and sale agreement for the building and property. Recommended action: Adopt Resolution approving a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Placer County for the Loomis Library building and authorize the Mayor to sign the agreement. Public comment: 11. General Plan Update – Housing Element Committee Assignments Newly elected Councilmembers Jenny Knisley and Danny Cartwright will select a public member to serve on the Committee. In addition, on November 10th, Mayor Clark-Crets selected Sonja Cupler to serve on the Committee, however, Ms. Cupler has withdrawn her application so Councilmember Clark-Crets will need to select a new member.
