BUSINESS
9. Loomis Library Parking Lot Use Agreement
The Town and Placer County entered into a purchase agreement for the Loomis Library and
Community Learning Center property in December 2020. One of the provisions of that
purchase agreement was the establishment of an agreement for the use of the parking lot
between the Library and the Veterans Hall. This is needed because ownership of the parking
lot remains with the County.
Recommended action: Adopt resolution approving a Parking Lot Use Agreement with Placer
County for the Loomis Library parking lot and authorize the Town Manager to sign the
agreement.
Public comment:
10. Ace Hardware Annex Lease Agreement Terms
Loomis ACE Hardware (3690 Taylor Road) opened for business on November 10, 2020 and
since then their monthly sales have far exceeded their original predictions. At this time, their
biggest hurdle relates to incoming inventory and appropriate storage. Greg Brenning, owner of
Ace Hardware, filed for a Conditional Use Permit to erect a 2100 square foot annex at the end
of the Walnut Street cul-de-sac and it was approved unanimously by the Planning Commission
on February 23, 2021.
Recommended action: Adopt the resolution approving a lease agreement with ACE Hardware
and authorize the Town Manager to enter into a lease agreement with Greg Brenning of Loomis
ACE Hardware.
